Hello and welcome back! If you're like me, you, too, have been thinking about the glorious parallels between Loki and Sylvie's characters on the television event of the summer, Marvel's Loki. In this two-part episode, I break down Sylvie and Loki's character arcs on this series, specifically showing how they fit into the classic negative-change fall arc and the classic positive-change hero arc. And, of course, I touch on why this is so important for the story as a whole (spoiler alert: it's because the story's not about Loki!) Take a listen, and I hope you enjoy! (Make sure to check back next week for part 2!)
