The initial ideas
A show like Loki doesn’t become a success without creative people in charge. For Loki, two of the most important were lead writer Michael Waldron and director Kate Herron. Waldron revealed his initial pitch for the show was that while everyone was expecting Loki to go through time a la Quantum Leap, he wanted to do something completely different. Herron’s agent told her the meeting with Marvel was informal and to not prepare anything. She ignored that and prepared such an elaborate pitch, Marvel knew it had found the right person.
