10 Sci-Fi TV Shows That Wasted Great Characters

10. President Loki (Loki)

Loki seems like a great jumping-off point, as while the show was popular and well-received, it still felt like a heaping pile of missed opportunities. Even at its best, it was missing an extra dose of that signature Marvel charm, which could be seen in the wasted characters. Names like He Who Remains and Judge Renslayer are up there, but one that really slipped through the cracks was President Loki.

This variant came along and instantly filled the screen with the classic Loki trickster vibe fans fell in love with. Hiddleston was once again milking every moment and chewing the scenery like a rabid goat on lettuce. He was fun, nostalgic and entertaining, and then he got his hand chomped off and never came back.

While the show was juggling a lot, it was a waste to avoid a full showdown between these Loki variants. Not only would it have been deliciously fun, but it would have been the perfect way to show how far the central Loki had come since he became embroiled with the TVA, literally fighting a version of his former self.

Fans deserved less awkward romance and more evil Loki fun!
