I think whoever wrote Loki Season 2 should write the next avengers movies honestly. Season 2 felt way more consistent and always brought up interesting conversations and choices within the characters.

I believe Loki’s power doesn’t just come from him getting older, but spending the time gaining knowledge. Knowledge being power especially for somebody like Loki.

This season was a very strong return to form for an MCU production. I'm glad Loki got a proper arc and a worthy "conclusion" to his story. Especially since the MCU completely neutered Thor. Majors did a killer job also at the end there in the conversation with Loki at the citadel. I hope the MCU takes note. All we want is good content, it's not too much to ask

When he who remains says to Loki in their last encounter in the show "do you know who wins?" [paraphrasing] and Loki says "he who remains" it's a double meaning. Loki is now becoming he who remains. He's the last one at the end of time holding it together.

the other thing about this scene: the temporal radiation ages things away. if asgardians get stronger with time, then the temporal radiation is actually just making him more and more powerful as well

I think the first time Loki actually realized he could flip the script on himself was that time in the TVA theatre where Mobius was showing him how his sacred timeline would progress. With his mother dying, how he reconciles with Thor and how Thanos takes his life. This was a therapeutic experience and a huge lightbulb moment that made him stubborn and eager to form connections and change his future. Something that Sylvie never got.

Loki is the most well written character in marvel’s cinematic universe. His story and character development is a masterpiece. They need to keep the writers from the show to work on more shows and the movies

To those of you unaware of the writers of Loki Season 2; they are Justin Benson and Aaron Moorehead who also wrote/directed/starred in a couple of their own movies with Time Loop/ Time Travel/ Connected universe stories. The movies are Resolution and The Endless, both of which are fantastic. Moorehead also directed another time travel movie called Synchronic. They are the masters of Time Travel in film and is why Marvel picked them to write Loki Season 2 and it was phenomenal as their other work is. I truly hope Marvel picks them to write Kang Dynasty.

The moment Loki asked how long it will take him to learn everything about the psychics, television and book and they just time-skipped thousands of years, I knew the ending will be mindboggling.

I think the gold throne is a reference to kintsugi , the Japanese art of repairing ceramics with gold to show that something broken can be even more beautiful because of its past. Loki is the gold holding the Marvel multiverse together.

Exellent analysis on the aging of loki, you forgot that the time votex ages everything it touches, so the suit rapidly ages and degenerates , victor timely was hit with so much he aged to atoms instantly. With loki it aged away his clothes , his face momentarily showed aging but then his magic was super boosted. Makes perfect sense when you think about how the time stone affected thor as you said.

The writing, the acting. This show was amazing. Thanks guys.😊

I just hope that we one day get to witness Thor & maybe some of the other og Avengers witness what Loki has become. That will have to be an incredible moment.

He Who Remains actually, I believe, wanted Loki to finish as the heart of the multiverse. He said, in S1E6, he paved the way for Loki & Sylvie to get there. He was looking for someone to take his place, as he had been doing for millions of years. Also, in S1E2, they actually showed multiple variants of Loki that they pruned. In the void at the end of time, he meets multiple variants of himself that survived the pruning (and each other). HWR was obsessed with finding the correct variant, and would have variant after variant pruned after they failed his test, until he found Loki & Sylvie (whose nexus event was her deciding to be a hero, in my opinion). He only told them two options, one that would lead to the multiverse war and the other to them continuing his work pruning timelines. He never gives them any other option, forcing Loki to discover the best option to deal with HWR’s variants without pruning entire timelines. Anyway, that is only my opinion. What do you think?

Loki is one of those weird shows where even though it betrays the fundamental aspects of time travel and how the multiverse and timelines function, it's still manages to nail the character development of Loki and that matters most, even so much as to make it one of the greats of Phase 2.

I'm so glad they finally portrayed the whole "Asgardians + time = strength" rule in the MCU I remember in one of the old Avengers cartoons there was a scene where Thanos obliterates everyone including the Hulk by using the time stone to age them into dust, but all this does to Thor is make him strong enough to deflect the beam which makes Thanos old, forcing him to undo the action and inadvertently revive the other Avengers. I knew they'd never be able to depict that in the MCU, but this is also an acceptable way to do it and arguably just as badass.

I think you're right about loki living longer than He who remains. When he's tearing down the loom his face morphs to og loki. I think his young face is an enchantment so non of the tva is freaked out by his age.

I still cant shake the feeling that Dr Doom will have something to do with that castle. But I do think the Celestials are watching over the multiverse and time, and so im sure we will see more of them as we move into this multiversal, cosmic, time - warping saga! Its pure chaos and I love it! I just wish Marvel would focus more on stories like this than political messaging and character changing.

Ending Loki as a series here tho is perfect. He's set up like a true mythical figure. They should figure out a way to do the same for Thor rather then just kill em.

I really think the golden liquid is god blood. If you watch Love and Thunder it is exactly the same consistency and color.

One thing ive noticed in this phase is how their leveling up alot of the heroes. When the MCU was first starting out they had to tone down the powers of some of these charecters, but slowly theyve been getting stronger and stronger~

I'm glad someone mentioned the connection between Lokis horns and HWR's Tempad, really sticks out to me though and nobody seems to have noticed

KANG was IN the chair for EONs so way more , and if he pick loki to be his champ it was because he has a plan

I always thoughtLoki would end up as one of the few successful entries post endgame. I'm glad it did. Easily my favorite MCU show.

So this ancient material that Loki uses to create throne to wrap all the timelines together into a Multiversal Tree. I like the reference to the God Quarry, as well as the theory of Loki being the Custodian of the Multiverse.

I got a different vibe when he responded to "He Who Remains", as though it wasn't exactly him who wrote the story to get Loki where he is but rather a subtle nod to the fact that history is written by the winner and whomever is left to write the story, it will have been that person who remains. Maybe acknowledging that Loki could have been the reason the story played out as it did and that he's gonna win over Kang

7:05 that actually make a lot of sense. The temporal radiation also make thing grow older faster. You can see Victor suit getting rusty the more he is getting close to the temporal loom. So it explains the change of clothes, the power surge and even his face when he is destroying the temporal loom (although I would have expected some bear at some point but maybe he doesn’t have any facial hairs )

Loki will return. If you guys remember he pruned himself at the elevator scene. Him and Renslayer will meet up at the Prune world.

Fantastic redemption arc for a character. If and when he randomly appears in the next avengers movies the entire movie theater will cheer just like when cap catch Thor's hammer

Loki came to the same conclusion as Scott Lang, "we both just need to lose"

I ran into this video by accident but I'm glad I did. You are f'n amazing and I love how you went into depth and actually explained everything I needed to know! Definitely subscribing for more of your content

I like the idea that Loki is now older than he who remains, likely Odin himself. Loki is now way beyond intelligent, far above Ironman or Reed Richards, likely the most skilled version of Loki with his magic, including sorcerer supreme Loki. With his powers and control over all the timelines, he could harness infinite numbers of infinity stones, or anything else the MCU has at its disposal. Can you prune a celestial? How would they fair against alioth?

I think that Loki is the reason why the time stone is green also yellow energy in the mcu is usually related to cosmic energy or entities like cap marvels powers and the eternals powers so Loki using gold energy’s would make sense seeing as he would need massive amounts of cosmic energy to manipulate time but what I don’t understand is how the celestials were showing to be these all powerful beings but kang rules time not them 😂

I'm getting goosebumps just from hearing this theory. Imagine Loki surprising everyone taking on Beyonder Kang, it would be like when Thanos' ship gets destroyed but so much deeper

The writers of this show sure did live up to their glorious purpose! For you, for all of us💙💙💙💙

I have a theory, Loki gave a fighting chance against kang to every universe by giving life to the multiverse but i believe in secret wars he will realize that he who Remains was right and council of kangs becoming more powerfull so loki comes up with a new plan which would be creating a battle world and i think we will see another conversation between he who remains and loki.

In that final episode in one of Loki’s final time slips when victor tilmey is putting his head in the temporal aura machine, Loki time slips in at the exact moment that the computer voice says “welcome back he who remains” and he proceeds to become just that

Thank you for sharing. Excited for season 3!!

This season was beautifully done we love Loki and his character arc/development and growth

I wish there was a little more to the understanding that the Citadel at the end of time looks like OB’s office AND OB’s real home

Just that in the episode alone where Loki ask Ouroboros how long will it take for him to learn... OB said Decades, Time said Centuries... Then the episode skips to "Centuries Later"... If Loki Actually works as an Asgardian... We have not yet to see his full powers and everything He've learned over the centuries

Great video 🔥

The cool thing about this series is that they put everything in front of us and hid nothing. Just like the grooves on a record, we see it but it doesn't make much sense until the needle gets there, freakin brilliant writing. The cosmic time element was always present and every being that weilded cosmic power had a cosmic metal to harness it (infinity gauntlet, Eye of Agamoto, Asgatdian weapons, Celestial tech and Eternals science). Right there in front of our face the entire time, He Who Remains has a device that looks completely out of place with the TVA, looks Celestial and we're here thinking it's just some future bling🤦🏿‍♂️Thanks for pointing it out

@TheDenofNerds Having watched several of these reviews and explanations I just realized something about the gold flowing through the citadel's structure. When it's flowing like a liquid up to and forming Loki's throne it reminds me of the god's blood from L&T. Is it possible that all the gold in the citadel is the blood of dead gods acting as a power source for everything including HWR's temp pad. It would be a believable explanation of how a mortal like Kang is able to control all of time like he did. It would even fit with your theory that the citadel is the god quarry.

My thought was that he could use time traveling like ground hogs day to further his knowledge, and became so knowledgeable about time and quantum physics that once he entered the TVA with his magical abilities intact, he could use those abilities to manipulate the elements around him that would allow him to manipulate time, such as the gold and the onyx rock of the citadel. Loki could conjure things made out of metals. If he had the intricate knowledge of how he who remains technology worked he basically became a living temp pad.

Great episode!

Solid video👌

One thing I wondered was that as Loki learned to control his time slipping to the point that he would slip to being in himself rather than physically appearing as a separate self that he wouldn't slip to a future version of himself that already figured it out. Bc it seemed like all he had to do was think of where/when he wanted to go and he could. Kang mentioned in Quantumania that it's hard to not skip to the end. I see that it would take away from Loki's arch and growth and change the story but I did wonder.

The finale of Loki was Awesome! also bittersweet. Tom Hiddleston has stated that it's the conclusion of six films, 12 episodes, and the character of Loki. 14 years of his life in the MCU. He was 29 when he started and he's now 42. Tom is saying Loki is done, therefore no season 3 of Loki. It's sad to see him finished as Loki, I can't see anyone else being Loki. I'm very happy that it ended with Loki at the top and left us with Loki being a great guy, finally fulfilling his purpose. Thanks, Tom so very much. Job well done. Love you always! ❤️ We will definitely miss Loki.😢

When his helmet became a temp pad. I lost it. I noticed it instantly. This episode was so amazing.

If you think about it, Loki now works as the loom did, he’s the new failsafe! Once the council of kangs destroy time- Loki will be able to timeslip around in order to go back and defeat them. Honestly such a mindfuck, but soooo cool!!

What gets me is episode 5 was literally written over a weekend as they changed the story last minute leaving the writer to have such a short time. How on earth was that episode which wasn’t the best compared to the rest of the series but still so much better than the dribble we’ve been fed over the last few years

5:20: What you’re thinking about is from the animated Avengers cartoon, not from the OG Infinity Gauntlet comic. In that, the scene plays out with Thor aging via the time stone before telling him that Asgardians get stronger with age

I think everyones forgetting the fact that Loki brings ragnarok, which technically applies to everything, not just Asgaard, but also Midgaard, Nephilhiem, and the rest. But he also brings the rebirth of the universe. This can easily bee overlapped with the TVA and celestial making/breaking the multiverse, and also the nordic tales. I would call this a mixture of all of them, in a way that can make sense. It makes total sense and does not surprise me that they tell Loki's story thus way. I can't wait to see how this will tie into quantum realm, multiverse, celestials,and hopefully involve the Watchers, and the Celestials, which means also Galactus, that means Silver Surfer and the FF. This type of storyline could really blossom. Or what about Firestorm, or other former Galctus heralds?

Cool video! I didnt know asguardians get stronger as they get older which makes sense with Loki having done CENTURIES of time travel! I think hes going to come back to help later with multiversal war or similar too!

I agree, Loki is only temporarily holding the multiverse together in HOPE that somehow the Kangs will be defeated this time. Sounds like a case for Dr Strange.

Mobius said that the kang varient from antman 3 was handled so we are ok...for now. Which i take that as hes isolated for the time being, not dead so i think we will see him in Secret Wars

He Who Remains is simply using Loki for his powers and only as a temporary solution to hold the timelines together so he could prepare for war. He showed Loki everything he needed to know to break the Temporary Loom and control the timelines. Its either He Who Remains or Kang the Conqueror that Ravonna Renslayer see at the end.

man i love your videos

He is the Custodian of The Multiverse

I hope at some point Thor gets to see Loki and how powerful he is now. That should be great for his fragile ego lmao

This guy deserves more subs

Thank you!

Notice the top of the tree is purple hue. So Loki is holding together the roots that form all the Kang branches at that certain point.

What if Loki never destroyed the loom but instead just created the most elaborate illusion ever to slip away? But I seriously think Loki needs to be in Dr Strange 3.

I loved how he was actually able to catch he who remains off guard

Excellent video, and I believe you're on to something.

I’m just happy that this analysis gave Loki the chance to come back and be with his friends and reunite with Thor again. I cannot stand the thought of him being alone.

One thing we all missing is that He Who Remains is the vilain of the Multiversal Saga in the MCU , not "Kang". Ok , in the comics the main variant of Nathaniel Richards is named Kang and in that medium most of the others variants are just "Kang" variants, but pay attention here: 1- In the series HWR introduces himself as the winner of the multiversal war and never "name" any of his variants and the fact is the name Kang was never mentioned; 2 - By the end, the new goal of the TVA becomes hunt down HWR variants, not Kang Variants. Actually Mobius confirms that the variant of his in Quantumania ( wich was named Kang) is dead. It seems minor but i got the feeling Quantumania was the last time we will hear the name Kang - something that could in the end make easier to replace Majors moving on.

Beautiful thesis. I wholly subscribe to these ideas.

No one seems to mention the throne Loki sits on was mentioned by He Who Remains in Ep6 saying he sits in that chair because he makes the big decisions. Loki then went forth and made the big decision(s) to restore the multiverse and supplant HWR as the timekeeper. Another thing, what Loki power did he use to destroy the loom, no one has touched on that either.

My Theory is, Loki is/was time slipping because after the meeting with HWR the outcome was already set in motion. What IS is what WAS and what WILL BE. Loki is moving Loki through Spacetime, because he already destroyed the loom, even in the process of trying to save it, Season two is just witnessing "Time" through the eyes of loki. Where did it change? when loki thought to go back to Mobius and Sylvie (even though it happened AFTER that it happens in at the same time) He says He will stop all of Kangs Variants, "I won't stop" "I know.... Champ.." but then he follows in up with a quote by T.S. Elloit. And you can tell Kang didn't know what he was talking about then panicked. Saying he HAD to kill Sylvie (the first time he says this) The process was already started that HWR lost control of the loop, and i think he knew it. Because Loki was put in a place in BOTH seasons where he was shown how he didn't want to be alone, his only fear. He would have to accept that to beat the game. and in the end he does, for the only friends he's ever had.

*HE* *WHO* *REMAINS:* The most *informative* character in Phase Four and Five. You really need to listen to everything he says and watch how he reacts and his every nuance because he knows all and has seen all. So I was rewatching Silicon Valley (2014-2019) and it's true like my first watch when it still aired. After S3, the decline in quality is quite apparent. I would rank SV's seasons like this: 2, 1, 3, 5, 6, 4. Collider had it: 2, 1, 3, 4, 5, 6. It's still a very hilarious show and I grew to love Jared Dunn the longer it went. But similar to 24, LOST, The Walking Dead, and Game of Thrones, Silicon Valley didn't have the best later seasons. Silicon Valley was never quite the same after they fired TJ Miller (Erlich Bachman) before S5. I'm okay if Loki never gets a Season 3. *The* *writers* *never* *needed* *a* *re-shoot* *for* *it.* Got all the scenes they ever wanted pointed out by Sean Chandler. They originally created Loki like a two-parter. Think Back to the Future Part II and III. Or perhaps closer to Kill Bill Vol. 1 & 2 because Tarantino didn't want to cut scenes. He sees Kill Bill as one movie broken into two. The writers of Loki S1 and S2 said the same thing. Two chapters from the same book. Don't get me started with The Matrix Reloaded and Revolutions as those 2003 sequels ruined the first one's lore and mystique as Tarantino said. Even if we got a Loki Season 3, we would probably still need to wait for how long? Another 2 to 3 years for it? That's a long wait and what more do you want from this Loki character? To finally settle down with Sylvie? This isn't animated The Little Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast, and Aladdin. It's not going to be a happy ending. The ending for Loki is actually similar to Conker's Bad Fur Day for the N64 and the first God of War for the PS2 in 2005. Loki is sitting on a throne but it's bittersweet. He's still all alone. It sounded like in the title from the KZfaq video with Tom Hiddleston appearing on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon recently that Tom might be done with the character? He's retiring from it? He's been portraying the character for 14 years (early prep was around 2009 before the Thor movie release in 2011). Tom is a great actor and there is an article on how MCU ruined him the way Star Wars can ruin other actors' careers. If Tom wanted to pursue other roles, he should get it the way Robert Downey Jr. needed to break away portraying Iron Man. Any actor should have their free will on what they want to pursue without feeling enslaved by a popular franchise which ends up typecasting them. At least we still have Loki S1 and S2. A new gold standard for MCU for me. Best character development I have ever seen with an MCU character. As humans, I guess we're greedy. When things are good, we want more. We become spoiled and we don't want it to stop. Then when we get more, we'll grow tired of it and we're hoping it finally ends. It's like stuffing ourselves with delicious key lime pie until our stomachs starts to hurt. We can be self-indulgent with things we enjoy. I do agree with Erik Voss that Renslayer was a bit underdeveloped this season. She only appeared in two episodes as the finale only showed her briefly. She was usually next to Miss Minutes who also only appeared in two episodes this season. If there was ever a character who needed a vacation, it's Renslayer. Gift her a jet ski courtesy of Don/Mobius while she's on one. "I put the TVA above myself. Even at the costs of my own happiness. My humanity." Ravonna Renslayer is the one character where I want to see her get rewarded in whatever future MCU project she might appear in. She was the one character working for the TVA who was taken advantage of. She's like female Michael Jordan in The Last Dance while Dennis Rodman wanted a vacation. Renslayer might be a ball-breaker but "leadership has a price". Sylvie, on the other hand, got better for me during the last three episodes starting with The Heart of the TVA after she probably started off an annoying, dumb character on a revenge trip trying to screw more things up. I thought her whole speech with Mobius and then Loki was great. I think Sylvie and Mobius brought the best out of Loki. Without his bonding with them, he would've never changed for the better. I didn't rank the Loki 1x6 (S1 finale) as my favorite episode prior or the best one but I think it's the one I've rewatched or relistened to the most. I like the slower pace and enjoy listening to all the dialogue similar to The Hateful Eight. When I was doing my laundry at a coin-op last night because I have this huge comforter that won't fit in my washing machine at home, "For All Time. Always." was the episode I was rewatching. I'm starting to prefer He Who Remains more than Victor. He's an interesting guy. And 1x6 was probably the most informative Loki episode we ever got while still being the most quiet. A lot of the episode was basically 20 minutes of HWR speaking to Loki and Sylvie in the Citadel. It's not the best episode but it's probably the most rewatchable for me next to the two episodes called Glorious Purpose, The Nexus Event, Journey Into Mystery, and 1893. How He Who Remains dropped his act in 2x6 and started using his real voice as Erik Voss pointed out in his breakdown was very interesting. HWR interacting with Loki was the most important scene to me in 2x6. We all know Jonathan Majors' legal troubles and these court cases are going to cost him money and work time like it did for Johnny Depp, but each time he's on screen, I'm always fascinated on what he says or does. It's crazy to think Owen Wilson attempted suicide back in 2007 from depression. It's so easy to forget that. He doesn't seem like the type but he was. His characters always injects this calming demeanor. I read Owen used to frequent the Playboy Mansion and hook up with plenty of women. He has 3 kids from 3 different women, so he never really settled down. I hope he found his peace. Be a shame to lose him like what Robin Williams did to himself. Without Mobius, I'm not sure Loki would've been as great as it is. Mobius' origin story sorta became a backbone to Loki's evolution. Owen is the perfect wingman actor. He's your "add water" actor because he mixes well with anyone. Loki Season 1: A- Loki Season 2: A- Under the development tab is a good read - en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loki_(season_2) Must thank Michael Waldron, Eric Martin, Justin Benson, Aaron Moorehead, Kevin R. Wright, and so many more for such a great series. Think about how consistent this show was. Take your least favorite episode and it's probably still better than all of Season 8 and most of Season 7 from Game of Thrones. I have tons of different TV shows and it's rarely pretty for most of them during their later years. We got 9 hours of good consistency from Loki. That's like 4.5 Back to the Future movies. Say Lamentis and Breaking Brad are your least favs, that's still 7.5 hours of great content. Back to the Future and The Godfather is between 4 to 6.5 hours of great content if you don't like the Part III of their trilogy. And I don't find the worst episodes of Loki to be that bad. Better than most episodes that came from The Book of Boba Fett, Obi-Wan Kenobi, The Mandalorian S3 and Ahsoka. New favorite rankings for Loki episodes and characters... 1. 1x6 For All Time. Always. (my most rewatched) 2. 2x6 Glorious Purpose 3. 1x1 Glorious Purpose 4. 2x3 1893 (definitely growing on me) 5. 1x4 The Nexus Event 6. 1x5 Journey Into Mystery 7. 2x4 Heart of the TVA 8. 2x1 Ouroboros 9. 1x2 The Variant 10. 2x5 Science/Fiction 11. 2x2 Breaking Brad 12. 1x3 Lamentis First series I know where the first and last episode have the same names and actually complement each other well since 2x6 went backwards like Memento. I keep rewatching 1x6 the most and 2x3 lately from S2. The Miss Minutes scene with Victor still creeps me out from 1893. I snicker when I watch Renslayer hold that giant time stick at Victor like she's carrying a heavy gun as if she's Rambo and The Terminator. When Gugu acts pissed is when Renslayer really shines. She's a ball-breaker. 1. Loki 2. Mobius (became the ♥ of the show) 3. O.B. 4. He Who Remains 5. Victor Timely 6. Classic Loki 7. Miss Minutes 8. Renslayer 9. Sylvie 10. Casey He Who Remains is the one who moved up big time. Each time he appears, I find him fascinating. It's a chess match with him in that same room because he knows all and sees all. He's only appeared in two episodes (appeared very brief in 2x4) which were the finales and he always shines for me because he's the one giving us the most new information. Majors needs to be applauded for his contrasting Kang personalities. I know it's called Loki and it should be about him. We shouldn't expect the writers to close every thread for every character. Some do need to have their story open ended. But I do wish we see Ravonna back in some form in a future MCU project. Perhaps with Victor and Miss Minutes. To see all three on that boat in 1893 and without Loki and Mobius was kinda refreshing. That's the strength in the writing. None of those three are the leads and the episode still worked. O.B. could've simply been a comic relief add-on but I'm glad they went deeper with him. His wife left him. He was a struggling science fiction author. But O.B. became one of the four most important characters for the TVA next to HWR, Victor, and eventually Loki. It's funny how Ke says, "We're all gonna die!" I thought Goonies never say die? 😉

Great episode, thanks.

Thank you so much. I appreciate you citing your comic sources so that I can follow your assumptions. Lots of new information for me.

Okay I want a game of thrones style prequel with asgardians. Song of ice and fire style. I want Odin to see a prophecy of Ydrasil and this leads to the eventual war between asgardians and ice giants. He had to turn Loki into a god because for whatever reason ice giant plus asgardians = god Loki idc make it happen

If Episode 5 was supposed to be revisiting the moments that Endgame had already done, I'm okay with it being nuked. We don't need an Endgame rehash that could also end up being very expensive. I do agree with Erik Voss of New Rockstars that the one flaw of the finale is not getting enough of Renslayer. She and Miss Minutes only appeared *mostly* in two episodes this season and both characters had so much potential being more than what we saw. They already built great chemistry in 1x6. Perhaps that's why I didn't love 2x5 as much because they were both missing along with Victor. Science/Fiction was still a good episode that I enjoyed but it could've been better. I felt Renslayer got the short end of the stick in all this. I know she's a ball-breaker but she's only doing her job. That's what leaders do and that's making the difficult decisions. She put the TVA over her own happiness and humanity. Then her memories got erased. Then she ends up in the Void. Heavy Spoilers' theory is that's not Alioth that she sees in the Void but a Kang variant (likely Rama-Tut as we see a pyramid) where you see the purple color reflecting on her clothes. I was rewatching Loki Ep 3-5 yesterday. So here's the thing. When we first see Mobius (or Don) in 2x5, it's only 2022. So I guess he wasn't gone that long then? Writers didn't want him to look like a deadbeat dad who doesn't care about his sons. Owow "Just Add Water" Wilson the GOAT wingman actor and first billing enhancer. Owen gets second billing to a project but he can always enhance the actor receiving first billing in whatever Frat Pack or Jackie Chan movie he's in. Just add water and stir! He's that guy. Owen Wilson had already worked with Tom Hiddleston in Midnight in Paris (2011). I'm hearing Mobius will appear in Deadpool 3, so everyone's favorite jet ski salesman who loves his key lime and McDonald's pies isn't going to be gone from us for very long. It's cool that Don/Mobius and Rebecca/Ravonna are both from Ohio. It makes me wonder if Mobius and Ravonna hooked up at some point like Cassian Andor and Bix Caleen? Again, I think Renslayer deserves better considering she worked as a TVA judge making all the tough decisions on variants when she happens to be a variant. She's been living a lie for EONS. True, she did kill C-20 who was finding out about her real origin from Sylvie, but it's not like Renslayer was operating at her own free will either. By 1893, she looked unhinged and lost her way. She was used, man! It's not like Renslayer is completely heartless. She did look torn and hurt when she pruned Mobius, someone she always looked out for. I would love to see her back in some way. For her to end up in the Void kinda sucks. She might have had it harder than Sylvie. That's who Sylvie would become if she was caught. Renslayer carrying the TVA on her back for eons after helping He Who Remains win the Multiversal War. Taken from her own timeline. I think she deserves a vacation with a free jet ski included. Maybe there is a happy ending for Rebecca/Ravonna next to single dad of two, Don, while living in Ohio somewhere? I guess the Mobius = Jack theory didn't come to be if Don was living in Cleveland and Jack was in Oklahoma. Sorry, Erik Voss. And well, Mobius' real name happens to be Don and not Jack. It's a nice read about Loki S2 on Wikipedia that Sophia Di Martino helped develop her character next to Kevin Wright and the McDonald's idea came up. I'm glad that this episode of Sneak Peek really puts emphasis on the writers. We must applaud Eric Martin who I plan to follow in whatever future projects he will be part of. Michael Waldron set such a great foundation with the TVA and all the rules and lingo in S1. Eric carried the baton well. Great projects will come down to great writing. If the writing sucks, the project sucks. It's that simple. Right, Zawe Ashton? Don't blame Tom Hiddleston's significant other for that character. So the theory is Loki will be Avengers Prime by Secret Wars. So this isn't the end for Loki. That's been out there for a while. I believe this is the happy ending we'll have when Loki reunites with Sylvie and Thor. Of course, when you leave a happy ending like that ala Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade (1989), it doesn't open the book to have more projects for them. And Disney plans to milk MCU forever and ever. So no happy ending is really a true ending with MCU. I thought Toy Story 3 would be the last Toy Story movie but Disney went out and did a Toy Story 4 and a Buzz Lightyear prequel which flopped. No IP is ever safe with Disney because they love money. Thank goodness Robert Zemickis and Bob Gale never fell into this sequel/prequel/reboot/remake/spinoff trap. Michael J. Fox has Parkinson's. Back to the Future Part III did say THE END at the end. Leave it as is. Speaking of BTTF, today is November 12. Save the clock tower! ⛈️ 8⃣8⃣

They actually used every time travel concepts in this show and its fun to watch

0:01 BRO I absolutely LOVE the pulp fiction add in right here man ❤

I like turtles.

If Marvel can keep putting out quality like season 2 Loki…… they’ll have my respect again.

can’t say how much i enjoyed the banter between he who remains and Loki. Chemistry was so important

I think Loki was the one to build the citadel in the first place and then Victor found it and used some parts to build the tempad. What if it's origin is Lokis crown and power? Then it goes around and around forever, Loki and Victor switching places.

I think loki is only a couple hundred years old at that point because every time he time slips he goes back to his original body. Even with the time slipping added, hes maybe in the thousands. The main thing thing making him "old" is all that temporal radiation he experienced before he takes his throne. Im pretty sure it is said at one point that it makes time pass through you very fast. This also explains how he just walks out there with no suit; asgardians have a much higher lifespan.

Fun! Good video

My favorite part was when he time slipped back to when he was being interviewed by mobius. That was GOLD!!

the fact that his helmet is the timepad lets me know a kang varient will catch up to him at some point and take it. when loki said he would find another way kang smiled...when loki quoted that poem, i think kang was merely pretending not to know what he was talking about...he wanted loki to believe he outsmarted him and have this epiphany..... kang wanted loki to take over not because he was tired...he had to find a suitable replacement, otherwise he'd end up there again. i think before kang, O.B. was he who remains and thats why the 3 of them seem to have all created the tva. like every couple of eons he who remains finds or paves a way for another to take their place. like maybe the original OB tricked kang into becoming he who remains to end the multiversal war, and he found a way to trick loki into taking his place while thinking he was the hero. the tva seems like it was specifically designed to drive loki insane.

I still haven't hear anyone mention it but check out the top of the building OB lives in on Earth in the opening scene from outside of it (aerial side view) the top part is obviously the head design of Arishem the Judge you won't be able to 'unsee' it- its really obvious

Well, if you pay attention during the conversation at the end of season one, he who remains tells both of them that there is only one alternate outcome, and it's if they take his place, so it would make sense that at the end, the only way to beat it is if he uses the Citadel and its power and his power and how much he's been through time now and aged. To take his place and be the guy. He thinks he should be as he says!!

I agree and like your interpretation. Great video

I totally agree 💯💯💯🔥🔥🔥🔥

As an illusionist who can see into the multiverse from his thrones and literally hold all wolrds in his hands and upon his shoulders, I don't see why he couldn't project illusions of himself into the universes without leaving his throne.

Season 2 of Loki was the best MCU content we’ve gotten in a while. 2nd only to the quality of the Marvels.

This guy just keeps reminding me of Tim Robbinson when he’s over explaining things in I Think You Should Leave 😂

6:00 Why Loki looks the way he does really could be even more simple... We never see his birth mother and he was very small for a Frostgiant baby but notice he looks an awful lot like Hela. I think MCU Loki is only half Frostgiant and his mother is Hela, so Odin didn't adopt a random Frostgiant baby, he adopted his grandson and he just tipped what genes showed through.

Watching Loki season 2 ending i sadly get this impression that, What Loki did would Only be temporary at the end because looking closer in season 2 of key parts of "He Who Remains" and a certain "Judge" added the fact that "she" wakes up towards in the end of the episode, Not really in fear but with a determined "not going to lose" look in her eyes.

Definitely thought of the connection to old Loki from S1

an idea i quite like as well is in season 1 Loki Mostly used a blade, only using his magic for special occasions. However, after meeting Classic Loki and hearing him say that "blades are worthless in the face of true loki sorcery", paired with seeing Classic Loki's massive display of power, Maybe made Loki realise he should rely on magic over blades. Due to this, in Season 2 we see a lot more of Loki's magic on display, only using blades occasionally.

Him learning to time slip told me when he sat on that throne he can sit there for millions of years or billions of years and he can always jump back into a younger variants body in any timeline/universe throughout time and space

I love how the first 4 episodes of season 2 was literally a time loop that we all new was going to happen because loki traveling to the future
