"Hiddleston’s welcome return as the still complex Loki reminds us why he remains the best villain the MCU has produced." - Den of Geek
"As for the rest of the cast, Tom Hiddleston effortlessly slips back into Loki’s skin after having not appeared since 2013’s Thor: The Dark World. As always, he commands the screen, but even the movie is aware that Loki is a character devoid of growth." - IGN
"Hiddleston’s Loki has an emotional journey that fits excellently within the bigger story." - Polygon

The original Thor and The Avengers both cemented Loki as an outstanding MCU villain who still hasn't been dethroned as the series' best baddie many years later.

Though it sounds like Loki has a fairly familiar arc in Ragnarok (flirting between good and evil), Tom Hiddleston's portrayal has once again been roundly praised, adding a little shading to the character while giving him another opportunity to team up with his screen-bro for some God-like mayhem.
