Kevin Wright, our producer, production designer and director of episode three, and Dan DeLue, our director of episode two, Eric Martin, the head writer, Catherine Blair, on the writing team, Michelle Blood, another producer, and the cast, Owen Wilson, Sophia DeMartino, Kihui Kwan, Wimmy Masaku, Eugene Cordero, Gugu Mbatha-Raw, the entire team. There was a sense of - we synchronized watches, we all made sure that our imaginations were pointing in the same direction, and from start to finish, there was never a day where somebody didn't have a great idea, and the idea could come from anyone.

第3話のプロデューサー兼プロダクション・デザイナー兼監督のケヴィン・ライト、第2話の監督のダン・デリュー、脚本家のエリック・マーティン、脚本チームのキャサリン・ブレア、同じくプロデューサーのミシェル・ブラッド、そしてキャストのオーウェン・ウィルソン、ソフィア・デマルティーノ、キホイ・クワン、ウィミー・マサク、ユージン・コルデロ、ググ・ムバタ＝ロー、チーム全員だ。最初から最後まで、誰かが素晴らしいアイデアを思いつかない日はなかったし、そのアイデアは誰からでも生まれるものだった。

And that's why I want to just salute, just pay my respects to this extraordinary team, to the Loki family, because it felt like a very live atmosphere, that anyone could have a good idea at any time and suggest it, and it would go into the mix, and we put it into the script, or we put it on camera, and that sense of liveness, that sense of a set that felt very alive, very receptive to new ideas, is what you want in any creative process. You never want it to feel like it's set, it's planned, and then you just execute the plan, because actually, the camera is interested in life, it's not necessarily interested in planning, and that, this atmosphere was created by our lead creative team, it's something I just feel extremely grateful for, because I think it's created a real cohesion to the vision of the show, and I felt like we were all instruments in an orchestra, and we knew what music we were playing, and it was a very unusual and very fulfilling experience on set, so my hats off to them, our directors, our producers, and our wonderful actors, performer, and possibly also as an audience member, to inhabit a character, or to watch a character play out an arc over many years in film and television, and it felt extremely meaningful to me, and has felt like an unusual honour to get to play Loki for this length of time, every iteration has been interesting, the ancient mythological inheritance of the character has such depth and breadth and profundity, and the thing that I felt found so fulfilling about it on this particular occasion was, I believe that season two and the finale contains echoes and resonances of every single version of Loki that I had played, and he's introduced in the first Thor movie, directed by Kenneth Branagh and written by Don Payne, as a young prince, a younger brother, who is wrestling with his sense of belonging, his sense of identity, and his place in the world, his purpose, if you will, he's broken-hearted, and that heart hardens into something vengeful and angry, and then in Avengers, he comes down to earth, and he says to Nick Fury, played by Samuel L.

だからこそ、この素晴らしいチーム、ロキファミリーに敬意を表したいのです。誰もがいつでも良いアイデアを思いつき、それを提案することができ、それがミックスされ、脚本に反映されたり、カメラに収められたりするような、とてもライブ感のある雰囲気でした。実際、カメラは人生に興味があるのであって、必ずしも計画に興味があるわけではないからだ。このような雰囲気は、私たちのクリエイティブ・チームによって作り上げられたもので、非常に感謝している、監督、プロデューサー、素晴らしい俳優たち、パフォーマー、そしておそらく観客の一人と

Jackson, "I am Loki of Asgard and I am burdened with glorious purpose", and that purpose is arrogant and hubristic and entitled, and across six films you realise that there was no glory, it was inglorious, it all came to nothing, it was a fallacy, it had no meaning, and ends in sacrifice, and in the first episode of season one of the show, Mobius reveals to Loki how meaningless and baseless that entitlement to glorious purpose was, but his connection with Mobius and his connection with Sylvie gives him a second chance to rethink and redefine his sense of purpose, and then you find the character at the end of the story still engaged with ideas of belonging, still engaged with a sense of identity and a sense of purpose, but those are infused with a new kind of humility, and the broken soul from that first Thor movie has gone on such a journey in his lived experience and in his heart that he's able to heal aspects or fragments of that broken soul and redefine it for himself, and I hope that redemption is meaningful for the audience, it certainly felt meaningful for me. Loki in season two is confronted immediately by problems, by anxiety, by crisis.

そしてその目的は傲慢で思い上がったものであり、権利があるものだった。6本の映画を通して、栄光などなかったこと、不名誉なものだったこと、すべてが無に帰したこと、誤謬だったこと、意味がなかったこと、そして犠牲で終わったことに気づく、しかし、メビウスとのつながり、シルヴィとのつながりが、ロキに自分の目的意識を見直し、再定義するチャンスを与える、そして物語の最後には、このキャラクターがまだ帰属意識、アイデンティティ、目的意識を持っていることに気づく。シーズン2のロキは、すぐに問題や不安、危機に直面する。

At the end of season one, Sylvie kills He Who Remains, that was her mission, that he was a tyrannical force who was constricting free will and limiting life, and she knew she needed to remove him so that free will could thrive, that she could have a life, but what it's done is it has unleashed chaos in time, so there are many, many multiplicitous and multitudinous realities, a multiverse is born and it creates a problem, it creates a problem for the TVA, it creates a problem for Loki, because in his mind the consequences of Sylvie's actions are going to lead to a terrifying and cataclysmic war where everything will be destroyed, so he's got this extraordinary interior propulsion to solve the he's also finds himself displaced in time, so he's lost his anchor in time and he's time slipping, so he's moving from past, present and future and between these different time zones, but in the same place, and so he's just extremely stressed basically, and he has to chase down solutions to his problems, but he's also on the way trying to make things right, he's trying to make better choices, he's trying to redefine his glorious purpose, I think it gives him a new clarity, a new and interesting point of view, Loki in season two is more humble, more sincere, more open, more curious and more resolute, I think there's a resolution in him that will not be bent, will not be corrupted, I think. Now that the season two finale of Loki has aired, I feel in the performing of it, in the planning of it, in the developing of it, in the writing of it, that Loki's sacrifice was wholly appropriate and for me personally very moving.

シーズン1の終わりで、シルヴィは "残されし者 "を殺した。それが彼女の使命だった。彼は自由意志を束縛し、人生を制限する暴君的な力であり、彼女は彼を排除する必要があるとわかっていた、多元宇宙が生まれ TVAとロキに問題が生じた シルヴィの行動がもたらすのは 恐ろしい戦争だ すべてが破壊される だから解決するために 並外れた推進力を得た過去、現在、未来と異なる時間帯を行き来しながらも、同じ場所にいるのだ、シーズン2のロキは、より謙虚で、より誠実で、よりオープンで、より好奇心が強く、より毅然としている。ロキ』

You've got a character who for as long as he's been around has been driven by self-interest, isolated largely by himself, on the surface charismatic and charming and playful, but on the inside, defensive and vulnerable and hurt and alone, and someone who's never felt like he belongs anywhere, and so rather than live in the vulnerability of not belonging, he tries to fashion the world so that it belongs to him.

表面的にはカリスマ性があり、魅力的で遊び心に溢れているが、内面は防衛的で傷つきやすく、傷ついていて孤独である。

It's full of drive and he's at the centre of it, and I think the journey he goes on across season two is that through his connection with Mobius and his connection with Sylvie, Mobius as a friend and a guide, Sylvie as a mirror that reflects and challenges him, and all these his other friends B-15 and Casey and Obi and his experiences in the TVA, they have opened up his heart and mind to the possibility of trusting this character who can never be trusted, who's not worthy of being trusted, and suddenly he feels he belongs, and that to me is a journey of humility and acceptance, and the idea that somebody who once arrived and said he was burdened with glorious purpose, that he was entitled to it, that it was all about glory, that by the end he understands that purpose is about selflessness and generosity and love, and that he has a purpose that can help others live.

メビウスとのつながり、シルヴィとのつながり、メビウスは友人でありガイドであり、シルヴィは彼を映し出し、挑戦する鏡である、それは私にとって謙虚さと受容の旅であり、かつて栄光の目的を背負わされ、自分にはその権利があり、栄光がすべてだと言っていた人物が、最後にはその目的が無私と寛大さと愛であることを理解し、他の人々の生活を助けることができる目的を持っているという考えなのだ。

I just found it, I hope, it had a poetic resolution that I found extremely satisfying, and I hope that the audience feel that too, and that it resonates with them.

私はただ、この作品には詩的な解決があり、それは非常に満足のいくものだと思った。

I think we can all connect to it, I think we all need to feel in charge of our own lives, we like to, we all understand, I hope, that we can rewrite the story, that we have the free will to make the choices which add up to the that, and it's Loki who's asking those questions to me is fascinating.

私たちは皆、自分の人生の主導権を握っていると感じる必要があると思うし、そうありたいと思うし、私たちは皆、物語を書き換えることができること、そのために必要な選択をする自由意志があることを理解していると思う。
