Loki (D+) - June 9, 2021

Spoiler: show

I do hope we get an explanation on how the original Victor Timely came to be a Kang/He Who Remains. I get that the one we see in the show in the sacred timeline could indeed happen because of time travel shenanigans, because the sacred timeline isn’t “the original timeline” it’s just the timeline that allows He Who Remains to stay in control and keep the other Kangs in check, but obviously somehow a Victor from the late 1800s managed to create some crazy future tech.

Spoiler: show

I mean dude did get turned into a bunch of strands in front of the temporal loom, it could be some timey wimey handwave of his pattern being woven into the very fabric of time or some shit

I checked stuff where people reacted to it or w/e, and it seemed like each and every reaction was complete shock to that whole moment + how disturbing the whole crew getting squished was. such an amazing episode.

[Vagrant]

Just watched eps 1-4.

Spoiler: show

loki pruning himself seemed pretty obvious, but everything involving Victor Timely was a surprise.

I wonder if Balder’s going to be making an MCU appearance now that’ll they’ve teased him.

I feel like with how many Kangs there are now that we’ve seen, there’s no way the TVA will exist by the end of series.

Spoiler: show

I'm kind of at the point where I'm expecting Mobius to be revealed as a Balder variant. He seems to unusually connected to Loki for that to not play a part in his history.

This latest episode is just another reminder for me why Loki is my favourite Marvel series

[Tyrath]

So I went back to check out episode 1 of season 2 because I thought the ringing phone was different in the first episode and the camera shot lingering on it was supposed to be some kind of clue. Turns out it was the same actually, but I found something neat. If you look closely you can actually see Loki (from ep 4) in the background just before he prunes Loki (from ep 1). He was there the whole time in episode one and most people, myself included, totally missed it.

I didn't notice him in the episode but it seemed like a very obvious thing that it was himself who did it based on how Sylvie reacted

Was there supposed to be something significant about Timely and the hot cocoa machine? His reaction to it seemed to be weirdly emphasized.

Spoiler: show

just a joke. He’s surrounded by magic and time travel and he’s impressed by hot cocoa machine. And script-writing wise, they had to sell why he would want to leave the room so he could get kidnapped. They did a better job of it there than his Audi courageous turn at the end when we volunteered to go out and get turned into spaghetti- that just seemed super out of character there for me, but it was written in the script, so he had to do it.

Spoiler: show

This is my assumption. Timely getting involved is part of HWR's plan anyways, so it's likely he knew all this would happen and it'll lead to some conclusion that he wanted all along.

Fantastic episode, can't wait to see the last 2 to see where they go. Please please please don't pull a Secret Invasion and be terrible. XD

Oh okay. Wanted to make sure I wasn’t missing some kind of nod to the comics.

Sylvie and Loki have a kid together who they name "Loki" and they both vanish into a wormhole as Magik steps out with America Chavez and says "Our turn."

In the distance, Hulk can be seen training with Deadpool and Colossus, as he says "My rematch is coming, I can feel it."

ALERT ALERT ALERT

This is the familiar point during an MCU show where people get excited with speculation and theories and ultimately end up let down when the ending doesn't turn out the way they wanted, do not fall in to this trap again

ALERT ALERT ALERT

[Tyrath]

Sorry, too late. I am already hype to see Mephisto next episode.

[Ratatapa]

Sorry, too late. I am already hype to see Mephisto next episode.

I was hoping Thor to appear and tell Loki. I AM YOUR FATHER

Would be such disneyesque

[Cail]

i just realized

Spoiler: show

we've seen someone spaghetti like that before. One of the Ant-Man's did that in Quantumania when they were going after the power device for Kang

[kuronosan]

That was what, a probability storm? I think that's what it was called.

[Tyrath]

Probably.

[Kaslo]

That was what, a probability storm? I think that's what it was called.

But it was caused by Kang's device, which is very similar to the device designed by Victor Timely.

[kuronosan]

Right, I think it's definitely connected.

ALERT ALERT ALERT

there's a rumor going around that will almost certainly be setting people up for disappointment

Spoiler: show

potential spoilers regarding Loki tying into an unreleased film

Spoiler: show

per the rumor the TVA (possibly in finale/post credits) starts to assemble a multiversal army of 'prime' versions of heroes, e.g. Hugh Jackman as Wolverine to fight the Kangs. Deadpool has been in TVA custody, somehow hears about this and breaks out . Could be legit but sounds like an asspull.

[Anoat]

I’m not even getting excited for that because it sounds too incredibly far fetched lol
