Detail about Loki’s Crown in the finale
Was rewatching Loki season 2 and got to the ending only to realize a great detail I’d missed the first time. His crown in the ending sequence seems to be inspired by the Japanese art of kintsugi - repairing cracks in pottery with gold to highlight the beauty in its flaws and strengthen it…
A perfect symbol for this Loki’s journey. His defeats, losses, and centuries (at least) of struggling to find the answer to the loom problem made him the beautiful hero he is in the end and the one strong enough to finally find his throne. They said it through the whole series: he’s a loser, destined to fail, and screw up everything he touches. But it’s those flaws that make him Loki and without them he’d never be able to achieve what he does.
