God of Mischief Strikes Again: Loki on Disney+ Review

I am burdened with glorious purpose….to give you this quick, no-spoiler-review of the new series, Loki on Disney+.

Disney+ has proven already that they’re going to do right by all the entire Marvel Cinematic Universe characters. I got a chance to screen the first two episodes of Loki, and I can tell you, Disney did it again. This new series, taking you to where Loki went after he disappeared with the tesseract in Endgame, will keep you guessing. But we’d expect nothing less where the God of Mischief is involved, right?

We all remember Avengers: Endgame, where our favorite superheroes head back in time to retrieve the stones so they can bring back the population that disappeared during the Snap. Loki gets a hold of the tesseract and goes rogue, and we don’t see him again until now…and it’s a doozy.

Loki is often seen as a villain. After all, he stabbed Phil Coulson in the back. He took out a man’s eye. He sent a monster after Thor and it resulted in the death of his mom. He’s not what you’d refer to as a good guy or a hero, yet near the end of Thor: Ragnarok, and the beginning of Infinity Wars, he redeems himself, or at least attempts to. No one really knows what he’s thinking, and if he’s doing it for altruistic reasons, but Loki somehow makes you always want him to rise to the occasion, to hope. For him. For his redemption. For him to realize all that he’s got waiting for him if he’d just fall in line.

The new Disney+ Loki series opens a lot of that back up for consideration. One of the best things to come from the first two episodes is the continued hope that Loki really is just a broken man, grown from an insecure child who uses illusion to pretend he has the power he’s never really had. To instill fear to gain something he feels he can’t do on his own. It’s both heartbreaking and fascinating at the same time.

In the first two episodes, you’ll get a new look at what may…or may not be..the real inner Loki. He reveals himself in a way that we’ve never seen before, and while we’re never 100% sure what motivates him, it appears that he no longer wants to kill. He almost appears sorry, apologetic, mortified with things he’s done in his past, things he doesn’t even remember because the timeline is a mess — and he’s the reason for that, too.

This new Loki show has a strong cast, headlined by Tom Hiddleston still portraying everyone’s favorite villain. Owen Wilson plays Mobius, Gugu Mbatha-Raw and Wunmi Mosaku are the other three main players in the early episodes. Loki has literally fallen into a situation he can’t control, for the first time in his life. How he will get out of it, while maybe turning for good, is what the remaining four episodes will cover…and I’m so here for it.

With a lot of fun references to prior Marvel Studios movies, a couple of clever embellishments (D.B. Cooper, for one), and the typical witty humor Loki is known for, it’s a wild ride. The episodes fly by and like Falcon and the Winter Soldier, they’re more like mini action movies than shows. Turn up the surround sound, grab the popcorn and settle in. Don’t look away for long, because things happen first in the TVA: the Time Variance Authority, and with a variant like Loki, you never know what’s going to happen.

Loki is on Disney+ plus now, no separate fee required as long as you’re a subscriber!

SoCal winter is colder than you think, and I am al SoCal winter is colder than you think, and I am all about comfort and staying warm. I want to get dressed in the morning and be able to handle my whole day without having to do a wardrobe change, and these Max and Mia leggings fit the bill. And me. They fit me perfectly. They are high-waisted, which means they help hide my tummy jiggles while preventing the rolling down that often happens with leggings. For me, they’re like compression leggings without the higher cost, and they fit smoothly so I can wear them with anything. Dress them up, dress them down, they work with my Doc Marten’s and my Converse, a fancy sweater or this plush fleece sweatshirt.

I’m wearing a medium, and there’s a good flex, so I could officially call them eating pants, because no waist will be biting into me, which is almost as important as the warm factor. We’ve had high winds here in the Inland Empire, and I wore these out in it without filling any chill in my legs. Look cute, hide the chubs, feel warm, maybe even do yoga in them. Winning on all counts. Look for them at CostCo!

Thanks to @MelissasProduce, I got to try something Thanks to @MelissasProduce, I got to try something new and make this fun recipe for Lunar New Year. Shrimp, bok choy and egg noodles come together with a sweet and spicy sauce and a few other types of produce to make a one-dish dinner for your family. We’re a spicy family, so I added a little chili oil (and a dash of hot yuzu sauce) but you can change that up according to your family’s preferences. This serves probably four people if it’s your only entree, but could stretch a little more — I know the hubs had some good leftovers today, there was only three of us for dinner last night.

You can join the #LNYCookoff challenge by making two of the recipes out of the long list that Melissa’s Produce will supply. Check it out over on their Instagram feed! I’m trying a Garlic Gai Lan in a few days and I’m really excited to make something that I’ve never tried before. And I love garlic, so anything with it is a win.

Little side note: I went out of order on the recipes. I can’t eat beef so I had to skip ahead. The beef recipes look fantastic though! I just don’t buy it because I can only stare at it in envy. 😂

Throwing it back (thanks to Facebook memories) to Throwing it back (thanks to Facebook memories) to when we attended the opening party for nFuse at the Anaheim Marriott. What a blast! Bourbon tasting bar, meeting the chef, amazing food and cocktails…and crazy photo opps like this one! We had so much fun with foodie friends that night. As a Magic Key holder who is down in Anaheim often, I really have no excuse for not going back frequently.

Time for my yearly intro! I’m Donna, a mom of fo Time for my yearly intro! I’m Donna, a mom of four, grammy to two, and doggy mom to Shuri and Lady Sif. If the dog names didn’t give it away, I’m a huge Marvel and Disney fan. I’m also the owner of a social media marketing agency here in Southern California, and I have been a blogger since the early days. (I think my first blog started in 2005?) 

“Dangerous Cupcake” is based on a nickname my younger daughter created a long time ago, and since I started blogging because I wrote about my ‘dangerous cupcake’ combinations — all booze-infused, popular with friends, family members and clients — it seemed a fitting choice for my lifestyle blog. My blog is now a team effort; we write about food, drinks, travel, entertainment, home/life and more. 

We’re huge NASCAR fans, and I drive my dream car, so there’s also some automotive content mixed in. 

As I’m now in what is called midlife, one of my goals is to authentically share what life is like in what I call phase 2, where we’re still actively parenting but in a different realm. I’m not an empty-nester, but all our kids are over 18. This phase of life is pretty fantastic but we’re a generation that’s often left out of marketing despite the fact that we have more money and more time and we give less Fs about what people think. If you’re over 45, own it. Be yourself. And if you want purple hair, go for it — I do!

I’m glad to have you all here!

January can seem like a dreary month. Here in Sout January can seem like a dreary month. Here in Southern California, it can be full of rain, cloudy skies and temps that go up and down by the hour. It’s kind be a mood killer, as we’re putting away the fun lights and sparkly dresses and getting back to work. That’s why it’s important to take a break, get out and enjoy the fresh air while you can. Today’s window was small, and I only made it to a few stores at Victoria Gardens before the rain temporarily returned….and I realized I’d left my umbrella in my car, parked on the east side of the mall. I made that hour count though, enjoying this gorgeous view and scoring a few deals at Forever 21, Journeys and H & M. New chunky gold jewelry and purple Converse. (Have I shared that I have a thing with buying new shoes all the time?)

I’m starting 2023 off right — my kind of right. No resolutions, just getting back to my normal, and if that normal includes returning to better eating, more activity and new business goals, that’s not resolutions. That’s pulling out of the holiday fugue where <almost> anything goes. I cleaned out my closet, with no mercy. (I donated 8 bags of clothes and shoes, many with tags! Shameful waste but I hope someone else benefits at least now.) I filled out my Erin Condren Life Planner with a ton of content plans for my business, my blog and my clients. (Did you know I own a social media marketing agency? I’ve been in digital marketing for 25 years now! I’ll have to do another intro post soon!) 

Thanks to some wonderful inspiration here on Instagram, I’m also celebrating that I gave away some of my super shapeless sweats so I have less excuses to look like a slug during my days at home. More style, MY style, and less baggy outfits. I’ve got this..right?
