Let's dive into the latest news from the captivating world of Marvel!

Season 2 of Loki, the spellbinding TV series featuring Tom Hiddleston's title character, is off to a fantastic start.

Reports from Disney have revealed that the show was viewed over 10.9 million times from all around the globe within just three days of its premiere on October 5, placing it in the second position for the most-watched premieres on Disney+ in 2023, trailing only The Mandalorian Season 3.

Here's a little more context to the story:

Although streaming numbers are always fluctuating and a bit unpredictable, Disney has recently started providing select viewer stats.

In comparison to the Star Wars series, Ahsoka, which debuted with 14 million views, Loki appears to be lower. But hold on; Ahsoka's viewer count was taken over five days, while Loki's was three. Given this, Loki's three-day viewership rate is quite impressive!

One surprising factor is Disney's decision to report Loki's three-day numbers in contrast to its usual five-day stats.

Comparing Loki with other shows like The Little Mermaid and Elemental that pulled in 16 million and 26.4 million views respectively over five days, Loki's figures might not seem as high. Once again, these are all based on five-day counts.

Disney has adopted the "views" metric, similar to Netflix's method, which is calculated as total stream time divided by runtime.

If we look at Netflix's recently renewed One Piece adaptation, which raked in 18.5 million views within the first four days, Loki's debut stats might appear to lag.

Nevertheless, Disney is still proudly showcasing Loki's three-day launch statistics. Looking at the data given by Disney, Loki's 10.9 million views do seem like quite a grand opening!

In a most thrilling update, Loki Season 2 premiered last week and will have a total of six episodes.

We've received a hint that fans may need to manage their excitement levels as the new season unfolds differently.

Loki, amazingly, has emerged as one of the most popular TV shows in the Marvel Universe, with its first season surpassing the viewership of WandaVision, Falcon and the Winter Soldier, and Hawkeye.

In other headlines, Unity CEO John Riccitiello is stepping down due to a sizeable controversy over runtime fees, and Activision Blizzard has shared Xbox Game Pass plans, leaving possibilities for Diablo IV joining the Game Pass lineup in 2024.

And let's not forget Slappy the Dummy starring teen soap, Goosebumps, that recently got raving reviews!
