Disney's Wish celebrates 100 years of Disney animation.

When you think of a Millennial, what comes to mind? Some would say, a very young person.
But that wouldn't be accurate. Millennials are generally classified as those born in the eighties and early nineties, which means that many of today's Millennials are pushing forty.
This past decade we have enjoyed quite a few epic live-action releases of classic Disney animated films we grew up with. Cinderella, The Jungle Book, Beauty and the Beast and Aladdin, just to name a few.
This year, it was The Little Mermaid. With every release, some changes are made to the overall story. This is to be expected; with a new release or remake of a film, there will always be changes, sparking a variety of opinions — some in favor, others more critical.
"I have no memory of my memory being wiped." So says Mobius in the surprisingly mind-bending first episode of Loki season 2, which opens with the main characters all scrambling to make sense of things in the wake of the events that took place at the End of Time, in the previous season.
I will admit I had low expectations for this season, in contrast to my high expectations at the start of season 1. I always was a fan of the Villain Loki from the first Avengers movie. Throughout the MCU movies, Loki evolved from villain to antihero to the mischievous but otherwise helpful brother of Thor, culminating in his death at the start of Avengers: Infinity War. When the first season of Loki was released on Disney + in June 2021, I was excited to see the continuation of the events that unfolded in the alternate Avengers timeline in Avengers: Endgame, with Loki stealing the Tesseract and escaping. This was the Villain Loki. "Kneel! I said... KNEEL!!!" Yes, that Loki!
