The show also featured Mobius, who is played by Owen Wilson. He is a TVA (Time Variance Authority) agent who investigates particularly dangerous variants, such as the different variants of Loki.
Loki’s Redemption Bow
Even though the Loki from the original script only redeemed himself to be killed by Thanos, the variant of the Loki the series did not. He escaped from the Avengers after the Battle of New York, preventing his original redemption arc from taking place.

In the series, we saw the character still redeem himself throughout the episodes as he learned the mysteries of VAT. He also tried to stop Sylvie from killing the One That Remains, following the rules of free will, much unlike Loki.
Is Loki a superhero now?
At the end of Loki season 1, we saw a variant of The One Who Remains take over the TVA and Mobius forget all about Loki. But the Season 2 transcripts shown at D23 hint at Mobius knowing who Loki is and claim the character is a good guy. The transcript follows:
Loki: I don’t want you to think I’m a bad guy in this, Mobius.
Mobius: Who said you were?
Director Kate Herron and actor Owen Wilson have both agreed that Robin Williams’ therapist character from Goodwill hunting was an inspiration to define Mobius, as he guides Loki to become a good guy.

Loki’s character had a redemption arc in Secret Wars comics too. He sacrifices himself to protect another character and joins the legions of gods to protect Asgard. Due to his actions, Loki is hailed as a hero by many, including Odin, so we got to see that happen in Avengers: Secret Wars too.
Loki is now streaming on Disney+.
