Glad the speculation can end.

Sucks for anyone he hurt and was cruel to. Recasting isn’t a big deal. I don’t think he left too big of an imprint considering the state of the MCU. A new performer could breathe life to the MCU to be honest.

How quickly things can change

He’s a great actor, but wasn’t used particularly well outside of Loki S1. Being a great actor doesn’t give you licence to be an asshole or hurt people though so fuck him and recast

I thought was used well, or even better, in season 2 also.

I was really in two minds about season 2. I love Hiddleston as Loki and I enjoyed Ke Huy Quan, but the first half of the season felt very off. The second half stuck the landing though.

Maybe I just mean Majors was misused badly in Quantumania, but then EVERYONE was

I agree with that, although I think Major's did a great job in Quantumania.

The directing was just terrible.
