Originality is a scarce commodity, and even then, the chances are it has been done before, but that doesn’t stop the belief that what you are witnessing is a novel approach to an age-old problem, that of how to entertain, educate, and inform, whilst keeping the attention of the one who has invested their time in your product, in your story.

They who have remained are the ones reaping the benefits of dedicated, intricate, and highly polished storytelling. A narrative so beautiful that not only would the late, great, and hugely missed Stan Lee have marvelled at how sublime the director Kate Herron had brought every element of surprise, style and belief to the six-part series of Loki, but how both Tom Hiddlestone and Sophie Di Martino in their respective roles have encompassed the graphic novel’s giants turn to the television serial, and how effective it has been.

Any form of art should be there to inspire, to look upon something that has been created with disdain is not a natural state of mind, regardless say of the genre, the alluded too message, the perhaps dressed up vanity, or even the down at heel scrawled attempt, it is our soul that we are attempting to save, to express, to live with, and in that event of hoped for salvation and appreciation, we feel hope, we touch promise and dare to dream.

It is not always about who has the best and the finest body of men to call upon, the biggest bombs or the most modern equipment that can win a war, it is sometimes, more often than not, about the one individual who can add something a little extra, the one who sees the picture in the theatre of war just a little differently and who can add the element of propaganda to the rallying call of the nation.

It is sometimes logical than the final instalment of any story is the one that makes you understand just how much you love the character that you have seen grow, that their life’s conclusion is paramount to everything that has happened before; it is only in the last blink towards the eternal camera that you realise just exactly they have brought to the world.
