Marvel Matters: The MCU's Loki series is a meta take on all of Marvel Studios' troubles over the past 10 years, with Kevin Feige at the center of it (and its hopeful success)
Kevin Feige is Loki - but he's not the god of mischief, he's Marvel's god of MCU stories (just like in the comics).
The Marvel Cinematic Universe is going through growing pains. We all do it, so why shouldn't it? After being born in 2008 with Iron Man, the release of 2019's Avengers: Endgame saw it hit its pre-teen years .... and now, the MCU is 17. And it shows. But looking over the expansive of the MCU, there's an even more apt metaphor for these last few years - and they told the story themselves with the Loki series.
Through both 2021's Loki season 1 and 2023's Loki season 2, the creatives involved told a story of a bureaucracy charged with monitoring and guiding the timeline - and dealing with the repercussions of that. Sounds a lot like Marvel Studios, especially right now as it is aiming to recover its magic after some creatively lacking few years; it is on the upswing while still having some missteps.
