Every Marvel Disney+ show is about the same thing:
Once again, both title characters undergo a significant change of identity over the course of the season — to the point where the final episode actually features a change in title as well, to In Sam Wilson’s case, he has an additional identity to reckon with; that of a Black man who must decide whether he can — or evento become the personification of American values.
Haunted by his crimes, Sam’s partner Bucky finds himself similarly torn between his past and his future, and between how he wants to be perceived and how the people around him actually see him. He goes by two different names on the series; to most, he’s still “The Winter Soldier,” Hydra’s former assassin. To the Wakandans, he’s “The White Wolf,” the title he was given while recovering from injuries following the events of The multiple identities don’t end there.
Lady Loki’s identity is even more fluid; she has the ability to project her consciousness into any body she touches. These endlessly variable Lokis mesh perfectly with The notion of two different Lokis at war mirrors the confrontation in between Wanda’s Vision and the new white Vision rebuilt from his original parts. As the two androids fight, they debate the Ship of Theseus, a famous thought experiment about an ancient ship that slowly gets its rotting wood replaced with new boards.
There’s a parallel with Marvel itself here as well. It just concluded its wildly ambitious “Infinity Saga” that stretched across 23 films and firmly established its cinematic universe. These Disney+ shows mark the studio’s first venture into television after previously dedicating all of its creative efforts to movies. At the same time, some of Marvel’s earliest and biggest stars, like Chris Evans and Robert Downey Jr., have begun to retire from the MCU.
