The god of mischief is back to once again fulfill his "glorious purpose."

The second season of the Marvel Cinematic Universe series dropped on Thursday and it did not disappoint!

Picking up from the ground-breaking season one finale, Loki, reprised by Tom Hiddleston, works with the TVA to stop the return of the newest villain, Kang the Conqueror.

From the action scenes, to Hiddleston's terrifying yet moving performance, plus the addition of Ke Huy Quan and Loki's adorable "bromance" with Owen Wilson's Morbius – this series may redeem the underwhelming and messy MCU.

But don't just take our word for it. See what Marvel fans have to say about the premiere for Loki season two!

As expected, Marvel fans flocked to X to sound off on the glorious premiere for Loki season two.

And the consensus for the series has been overwhelming positive with many hailing Loki as Marvel's "best project."

One fan wrote: "Episode 1 was heavy, dramatic, frantic with the perfect side dish of humour. Hiddleston acted his HEART out, OB had an seamless debut and the constant reminder of how heartbroken and frightened loki is with every agonising timeslip or voice-cracked explanation was perfect."
