NorsePlay.

Given that the largest NorsePlay on the pop cultural block is Marvel's The Mighty Thor, it goes hand-in-hand that his rival for the throne of Asgard, Loki, has gained a near-equal amount of attention, and with Tom Hiddleston's charming performance upping the character's fanbase to an unprecedented level, it makes sense to fan service that army of horny-headed followers with a Disney+ series . Yet smart commercialism aside to gain MCU moviegoers streaming subscriptions for an exclusive Marvel-based show, Loki really manages to deliver a self-exploring complex character in an expansive MCU pocket-world, with all the sci-fi time-travel dynamics that'll bend your head like a mobius strip with their consequences.

Also the two Asgardian-related episodes of Agents of Shield really could've been better. Word is that the show will follow Loki through the Endgame timeline, but we feel it would be more of a hit to do the Kid Loki storyline from Journey Into Mystery . Maybe for second season, if this slated for 2021 show gets proper treatment.

NorsePlay would be remiss if we didn't mention the NorsePlay within the NorsePlay that happens in Thor: Ragnarok ... yet even nested deeper inside of that were you aware of the Thor: Ragnarok in 4D as NorsePlay?!? Yes, it just got that meta. #    #    # Guillermo Maytorena IV knew there was something special in  the Norse Lore when he picked up a copy of the d'Aulaires'  Norse Gods and Giants  at age seven.
