With the Loki Season 2 premiere now streaming on Disney+, Marvel fans are getting emotional about finally seeing Tom Hiddleston and Owen Wilson reunited after a two year wait. It also didn’t hurt that the first episode was everything that Loki fans have come to expect. Impeccable set designs, existential sci-fi horror, and that killer score.
But all of that would be nothing without the impressive character work. Hiddleston’s Trickster God and Wilson’s Mobius are clearly the bedrock of the show and seeing them solve another time mystery together (and discover an even more dangerous one) was exactly what fans wanted to see right out of the gate.
The two bounced perfectly off each other like they never even left, and fans were here for the palpable chemistry that’s made Loki one of the best MCU series to date.
You can see some of the Loki and Mobius love below:

1. They were so connected across time I’m going insane over it
2. Even the MIRRORED HAND GESTURES??
3. They are so fucking cute
4. If they are STARTING the season by calling each other “friend,” how will their relationship development? pic.twitter.com/3VW5DbOg5q— Char

The fact that Loki is the God of Mischief and Chaos, he seriously enjoyed himself while watching Mobius dig himself deeper and deeper into that selfmade hole

There was also plenty of love for the episode itself, which saw Loki return to the TVA after his disastrous encounter with He Who Remains. However, the Trickster God keeps “time slipping” in horrifying fashion, which makes it hard to warn Mobius and the rest of the TVA of the war that’s coming.

“We got to the man at the end of time and he made sense” is literally the best meditation on the multiverse that the MCU has ever presented
THAT is what makes #Loki excel — no other project treats the concepts that the franchise now hinges on with as much terror pic.twitter.com/0qToYy8gkh

Ke Huy Quan also made his MCU debut as Ouroboros (or O.B.), and Loki fans were here for him. Quan fit seamlessly in with the cast and the weird machinations of the TVA, and the love for him on social media was off the charts:

OB having to talk between Loki in the past and Mobius in the present is incredible, the flawless logic line made me lose it

If all of #Loki season 2 was just Ke Huy Quan, Tom Hiddleston, and Owen Wilson having a great time interacting with each other I would be perfectly fine with that pic.twitter.com/4tE0OTLtAs
