Fans Worried About Tom Hiddleston’s Loki 2
Many people believe that Secret Invasion is one of the MCU’s most disappointing films to date. The Disney+ series has received a ton of criticism, and the season finale received the lowest Rotten Tomatoes score of any episode in the franchise.
Because of this, and given the MCU’s recent history of disappointments, some people are concerned about Loki Season 2, which has an October release.
Fans have flooded social media platforms with doubts about the MCU’s creative team’s ability to produce an interesting and satisfying follow-up season for Loki. The worry caused by the Secret Invasion’s underwhelming reception may have an impact on the direction and caliber of the upcoming Loki season 2.
Despite the overwhelmingly positive response to Tom Hiddleston’s upcoming Loki 2 trailer, some viewers, including one fan, are “worried about how it will end up” following Secret Invasion’s disappointment.
Finally got a chance to see the Loki Season 2 trailer. It looks like it could be as much fun as Season 1 but if I’m honest after Secret Invasion I’m worried about how it will end up.

Despite the fact that Loki 1 was regarded as “great” and one of the best Disney+ MCU shows, another fan is still “really scared” for what might happen after Secret Invasion fell short of expectations:
I’m actually really scared for Loki season the season 1 was great and from the trailer season 2 looks good too but I don’t want it to be like secret invasion I’m seriously worried I don’t want this show to be ruined

Because of Secret Invasion, some fans have even declared themselves “done” with the series, as the Loki Season 2 trailer left one fan feeling “complete apathy”:
I watched the trailer for Loki season 2 and came away feeling complete apathy.

One fan claimed that the MCU had recently released a “very recent string of awful [films]”, but that Loki will “get things back on track”:
While I’m very excited for Loki Season 2, I’m also much more apprehensive now that we are a very recent string of awful MCU films and Secret Invasion.
Ms. Marvel was great
She-Hulk was good
Moon Knight was okMaybe Loki gets things back on track.

Secret Invasion was promoted as the MCU’s first “crossover event” series. One fan is “very afraid” of what this might mean for Loki Season 2, one of its standard Disney+ shows:
If this was gonna be their big event TV show then I’m very afraid for Loki season 2 #SecretInvasion

Reasons Why Fans Need Not Worry About Loki 2
Although Secret Invasion caused the MCU to lose a lot of fans, there are still many reasons to think Loki 2 will not have the same issues. Well, it might seem like the MCU after Avengers: Endgame has been all gloom and doom, but there have been many noteworthy victories to rejoice in over the past few years.
Successful big-screen releases include Shang-Chi, Spider-Man: No Way Home, Black Panther 2, and Guardians of the Galaxy 3, while some of Disney+’s more notable successes include WandaVision, Loki, and Moon Knight.
Despite this; here’s why fans need not be worried for Tom Hiddleston‘s Loki 2.
Since the official leads of Secret Invasion were Ben Mendelsohn and Samuel L. Jackson, the majority of the narrative was driven by the film’s new cast members, including Emilia Clarke, Kingsley Ben-Adir, Olivia Colman, and Charlayne Woodard.
The treatment of these new characters was criticized heavily for Secret Invasion, but Loki Season 2 will not have that problem. The majority of the show’s attention will still be on Loki, Sylvie, Mobius, and the rest of the original cast, with only a few new characters playing supporting roles.
The second season of Loki will release on October 6 only on Disney+.
Secret Invasion, which consists of six episodes, is currently streaming on Disney+.
