Loki, Marvel's fan-favorite trickster god, is all about the aesthetic, which makes the revelations about the inner workings of the Time Variance Authority in his series' newest trailer even funnier. It's a world dressed in beige and orange, recalling '70s kitchens and sketchy macrame and devices that look curiously dated yet seem just as snappy as any futuristic variant. But the secretive organization has a heavy purpose, and they take their work seriously. Hidden between the seams of the TVA is a lot of weirdness that perhaps even Loki isn't prepared for.

The first moments of the new trailer plunge the "Variant" Loki that escaped his fate during Avengers: Endgame directly into the guts of the TVA building. For a lawful entity whose entire existence is based around keeping time itself in order, it's strange that viewers can actually pin a timeframe to the interior of the organization. It's a two-tone world of khaki brown and mod squad orange, colors the fashionable god wouldn't normally be caught dead in. But it's quickly made clear -- to the audience and Loki himself -- that he doesn't have a choice.

The TVA's entire building somehow feels like an ancient DMV lobby. The room where Agent Mobius begins processing Loki looks like a shot from 1968's 2001: A Space Odyssey, with its round computers and deliberately flat cinematography. It's all possibly designed to keep its prisoners and guests off-balance, never quite able to expect what the visually out-of-date yet still effective devices are capable of. Certainly, Mobius keying the cherry-style computer and dropping Loki into yet another office catches the God of Mischief off guard.

The transcription office is the most out-of-time yet soulless bit of TVA artifice shown in the trailer. The presence of a cat, startled and offended by Loki's abrupt arrival, is the only clue that the dead-faced man on the other side of the desk may actually be a living human being. It's funny and depressing all in one, and the fact he's stuck using a dot matrix printer keyed to log every word his current assignment says is a remnant from any tech-savvy fan's waking nightmares.

Quick shots of control rooms further the deliberately askew aesthetic, with those bluish-gray desks dotted with light-up buttons, dials and other geegaws that were common props in classic science fiction films like The Andromeda Strain or Soylent Green. However, there's an undertone of quiet competence behind the tacky architecture. It's visible in the small details, such as computer monitors capable of quicker rendering than early Apple IIe systems and that dot matrix printer that somehow never garbles up its pin feed ribbons of paper. There's the occasional flash of gold, and the TVA judges have offices more open and decorative than any modern district attorney's office.

More importantly, though, there's something powerful behind the time portals the officials use to infiltrate and resolve time variances. Still orange-hued and brutalist, they're also efficient and unobtrusive. It's not clear yet how they're activated, but it certainly looks like Loki's got it figured out by the end of the trailer. The field operations gear kit is also suspiciously advanced, with shock batons and sleek-curved special armor that appear more than ready to take on any threat.

Mobius shows no special interest in a glimpse of some futuristic cityscape roughly 90 seconds in. Certainly, he's a riff on the old cop that's seen it all and might even be weeks from retirement. But a glimpse of what looks like a bizarre cityscape or possibly a futuristic dock leaves it unclear if Mobius is showing off another variant future, or a piece of the world beyond the TVA's timeless tower.

Either way, Loki is in for a wild ride through time, space and his own lawless choices. WandaVision showed Disney+ was ready and willing to make some fearless choices about how it presented its Marvel shows, and Loki seems up to the challenge of taking its audience to even stranger places.

Loki stars Tom Hiddleston, Owen Wilson, Sophia Di Martino, Gugu Mbatha-Raw, Wunmi Mosaku and Richard E. Grant. The series premieres June 11 on Disney+.
