Glorious Purpose indeed!
Why is there a TVA now tho? no need to prune right? Or is the future.. tech that allows you to jump etc and the tva will be policing ppl like Cable?
Holy shit! I just got done watching Loki finale. That is by far the most brilliant piece of television Marvel has ever made. 👨🍳
Interesting Idea Cory has about the God of Ideas..But hes wrong..hear me out IF LOKI was the God of ideas he would sit at THE START NOT In the MIDDLE of TIME ..he seems to be more of a Filter and Stabilizer then Creating any of it himself. he the New Temporal LOOM keeping things together and NOT erasing all timeline that aren't the Scared Timeline.
He should have a someone with his to his as a companion. Maybe this is what's happening to the real God? Created the universe put a lot of laws to make it run but unable to get out of his throne because to do so would be to undo what he created.
If Marvel is still planning on going through with the Kang storyline for the Avengers movies they need to get the writers from this show. They have proven that they are the ones that need to steer this storyline going forward.
Exactly. They did a wonderful job with this show.
They are rewriting Daredevil´s Born Again
It's better with Directors Justin Benson and Aaron Moorhead
Eric Martin better write The Kang Dynasty and Secret Wars
Would revive marvel for sure
IDK if you guys noticed, but the "For you. For all of us." line from Loki to Mobius and Sylvie is directly from the first Thor film at the end with Odin and Loki before Loki falls into space. Absolutely beautiful writing.
Thanks I'm gonna go cry now
IFKR 😢😭😭
I'm glad someone else noticed that.
I wrote this on Reddit, but it's even more of a direct reference.
Instead of Loki falling from a broken bridge, he ascended the one here to his throne.
It's just a call back to it
24:48 “It’s what he’s always wanted”
But it isn’t, though. “I never wanted the throne.” “I’m afraid of being alone.” “I don’t want to be alone.” His whole villain arc was based on his perception that he was alone and had no one who cared about him, so he lashed out. He thought he could use fear to get the throne, which would grant him respect and adoration. But now here he is, sacrificing the one thing he wanted in order to save multiverse and everyone in it because he finally realized he has people who care about him, that he’s not alone, and he has to protect them. “Most purpose is more burden than glory.” By taking the throne, he has to be alone, which was the thing he’s always been most afraid of. That’s what makes it a burden - because he DIDN’T want it.
THIS 🤌 That's so beautifully written. You should write reviews for stuff like this. Make it a part time job
😢
That's exactly what I was saying too. Loki has been repeating he doesn't want the throne since first Thor movie. Imagine scenario with Thor in this episode. Thor has always wanted a throne to serve people. He stepped down, only because he didn't believe in his competence as a king. So finally taking a throne would have been a moment of thriumph for Thor. But it isn't for Loki.
Loki couldn't ascend to the throne until it was no longer what he desired. Hence the whole "Most purpose is more burden than glory".
@@MinecraftGuy07928 In the words of Dumbledore: “It is a curious thing, Harry, but perhaps those who are best suited to power are those who have never sought it. Those who, like you, have leadership thrust upon them, and take up the mantle because they must, and find to their own surprise that they wear it well.”
I’m so conflicted, because on the one hand I don’t want Loki to be gone just yet, but on the other hand this is the most poetically cruel ending that’s perfect for Loki and I don’t want them to potentially ruin it
He’s not gonna be gone
I think hes gone in the sense that we will never see him in his physical form again we will only get astral loki where he goes through time to assemble a multiverse avengers to fight the Kangs but hes forever anchoring the multiverse at the end of time
Same. It’s going to take me awhile to process everything I just watched. I really hope this isn’t the end, but if it is, I truly wouldn’t want anyone else playing the role of this version of him and I’d judge anyone given the role in the future HARD. Unnecessarily hard. In my perfect world Tom would still be playing Loki into his 80s lol. 😂
He's been a massive part of the MCU for the last 14 years. That should be enough.
I just watched an interview of him on the Jimmy Fallon show. And while he seems to be done with Loki, he did give a hint that because of how Loki’s story ended in the show that he might be back for Kang Dynasty or Secret Wars.
THIS WAS INCREDIBLE. I love how the timeline became Yggdrasil. And Miss Minutes wasn't the big bad. There was no big bad. I also love how Loki was in this episode. Honestly he has become one of the best Marvel characters to ever exist.
EXACTLY! Just Loki coming to terms with what he wants and what he has to do. He is truly burdened with glorious purpose 😭
Breath taking
Thank you!!! You recognized the tree. Seeing too many reactors not recognizing it.
Have they not played God of War? We’re dealing with Norse mythology here!!
Good on ya!! 🎉🎉
why would he not be in this episode
Loki is the G.O.A.T 🐐
Its poetic that the color used for the branches of time is Loki's trademark green which also happens to coincide with the color of the GREEN Time Stone. So good.
Green like a tree too
Loki is, in my opinion, the God and Guardian, of the beginning of time and timelines now.
c'mon don't push it. It's not the same green at all, the ending was already beatiful, no need for obtuse "connections"
@ricardomiles2957 The color green isn't mutually exclusive. All I was saying is that the green happens to match the time stone as a coincidence. I never said they did this on purpose, you're the one being unnecessary.
He is like a living time stone.
Can we also talk about how genius it is that the first episode of season 1 and the last episode of season 2 are both titled “Glorious Purpose”? What a beautiful ouroboros.
Ya and between those two episodes the meaning of the title completely changes!!!!
😳How is this show even this brilliant though actually what the heck. It was too good.
I love how Loki was basically made the main character of the MCU. And I don't mean metaphorically, I mean literally.
Fr though. It's now his job to watch everyone and everything him being the main thing makes sense. He better be one of the main focuses in Kang dynasty
yeah
hmm interesting@@Audio_Snap816
Ouroboros, Loki is the end and the beginning.
Next we need Ruin king Thor if they had the balls to do this with Loki
Loki is a reminder of how insanely phenomenal the MCU can STILL get.
This is just masterful television in every way. The directing, the writing, production, the acting, THE SCORE.
They need this level of quality for every single upcoming MCU project, and i think we'll get there :)
Exactly this. I honestly believe if they spaced things out more, cut out some of the unimportant projects and have the same director rather than 20 different ones all trying to do something different then phase four/five could've been as amazing as this rather than the disjointed mess we've got at times. Apparently the loki director is going to be heavily involved in the avengers movies so there's still hope.
Felt so relieved when they had Timely actually make it to the machine. Also my mouth dropped when they showed He Who Remains tell Loki he knew what was happening
he ain't Loki no more, he's Woki now 🔥🔥🔥
you really didnt see he who remains being in control coming?
@@kevthepoetyou can expect something and still be shocked by th execution
@@accountnew7030stop spamming btw There is no such a great tv series like Loki in the world
@@accountnew7030 You sound like you're 12 years old.
I like to think Mobius wanted to 'let time pass', not only because he was never able to, but because Loki holds time together and it makes him feel closer to Loki in a way.
Huge fan of this
I really like this thought, ya its just like.... a very literal friend is beside you, in spirit. :)
This comment 🥹😢💚💚
This is so sweet!
in the last scene mobius is lit in green and golden light, loki's colors. and then loki hears his voice and smiles. their connection is so strong
12:09 I love how Loki is just so over it at that point after fighting Sylvie and losing so many times he’s like “Do you ever defend yourself?!”
And considering we learn that he put through making HWR act enough time to let him learn timestopping, you can understand why hes done.
PERFECTION! Loki pulling an Ultron infinity by staring the Watcher down as he himself now transcends into a multiversal God, The God of Stories was incredibly satisfying 😌 ❤️
He did the same sacrifice as strange supreme at the end of animated series
Imagine if we get God of Stories Loki showing up in What If Season 2.
@@TheGohanSkywalker it is a must have now😊 I’m excited for the next era of Marvel
@@TheGohanSkywalkerOh shit, even better, what if God of Stories Loki becomes the new narrator?
he ain't Loki no more. he's Woki now 🔥🔥🔥
“Is it mercy for me, or mercy for you?”
Love how even though HWR is trying to play it cool, he REALLY does want Loki to take the burden of being in the center of time away from him. To quote himself from the last episode of season 1, “I’m tired.”
He Who Remains probably saw this possibility as well but was so tired, at that point, why come up with a plan to stop Loki, a literal God? I think he genuinely wanted to pass the torch, but his other iterations won't be so relieved.... how fun!
He also is blinded by the narrow view science gives you. He controlled fine through technology, technology has limits no matter how advanced it is, magic on the other hand is limitless
I think you’re wrong. Kang wants him there so he can be free. He doesn’t have to be there to maintain it. He needed a loki willing to do that and he finally found one.
@@DaDon357created*
@@DaDon357 But how would Kang be free? When Loki does ascend, it's at a point in time where HWR Kang is already dead. Loki's move isn't just about replacing HWR Kang, but turning the entire infinite Kang scenario on it's head, since the TVA starts dealing with HWR Variants INSTEAD of variants of anyone else. His so called Army that helped him win the War in the first place, is now turned against all Kangs, by somebody who isn't Kang.
Adding a point in here for discussion. Loki admitted last episode that he was afraid of being alone. He wanted to be with his friends, dare I say family. So to have the ultimate sacrifice and be alone for the rest of time so his friends can live on is just beautiful to me. What an ending. I had to rewatch this twice just to catch all the small bits of dialog. It was so good
They really made you understand the "BURDEN" in his "Burdened by glorious purpose"-motto. The more glorious the purpose, the greater the burden. This show did a really good job of selling that point.
Astounding series all around
I don't think He Who Remains is there at the end of time. We saw his mansion decay and blow away as Loki took the throne. Because Loki refused to kill Sylvie, HWR's death was made permanent.
But there will now be a development of infinite Kangs (as we saw at the end of Quantumania) because Loki is enabling infinite timelines to grow. Loki is giving existence a chance to fight against the rise of Kangs. It doesn't have to be inevitable that the mutliversal war wipes out existence as HWR claimed.
Or is it permanent tho? We saw a glimpse at the end of Timely that is never given the TVA book. He might become HWR just as in the OG timeline without the influences from Loki's group.
@@blackjk1234 we still don't know if victor was he who remains
It's more like he was the only variant who would help Loki without trying to take over time
You do know he told half truths to manipulate Loki into that position of taking over the throne
@@blackjk1234he who remains planned to give Timely the book so he would understand how the big machine works (don't know how you spell it in English), so then he would be taken to the TVA and yada yada. So without the book, he will grow to become a different person who doesn't know a thing about the TVA.
@@blackjk1234no because HWR was from 31st century... He said that in s1 finale. He gave the handbook to his 19th century variant just to make the events of this season possoble so it would lead loki back to the events of s1 finale so ge could kill slyvie rather he destroyed the loom and took over to give the timelines a fighting chance
The way I felt so empty after that ending and the realisation that Loki DID get what he wanted, but that was a long ago when he wanted to rule/ sit on a throne but now that his focus has shifted and had a major character development, he fears of being alone and wants to be with his friends so him sitting by himself at the throne alone forever is just so tragic to me😭he sacrificed himself just so his friends and other timelines could continue living
U have same mind as me, its so sad and lonely it wasnot same as what i hope like in comic atleast he can be wvrrywhere he want, i hope is not the end
True dat,It was a bittersweet ending and i am feeling really sad about the ending and the fact that loki's last words to mobius and sylvie were the exact same words that he said to thor and odin before jumping off the bifrost at the end of thor 1 and this shit is killing me fr.
Atleast he should have gotten a moment with sylvie to reconcile and a moment with mobius to say a goodbye, but noooo😭😭😭😭😭
@@anushajain8198 im crying with you, i feel this unfair for him really unfair i was crying for him for hour now
@@anushajain8198he got one with Mobius in the theatre, one with Sylvie in the jump to s5 ending, but yeah he should have had more emotional interactions with them before the ending.
My hot take: Within the MCU, Loki has a better quality of work and a richer arc than Thor (standalone-wise). Granted, it’s an episodic show, however, they could’ve easily tanked this season as well. Fortunately, that wasn’t the case. Tom Hiddleston truly deserved this. If they decide to revisit Thor, I hope Chris Hemsworth gets much better material to work with. This show has the kind of quality, writing, and themes I want in a Thor movie.
they both had good character progression but a movie, specially a mcu movie, can't get that same focus and time a show can. Despite the fact there already were moments that were clearly rushed and carried only by the actors and their skills, if Loki s1 and s2 were movies with the same plot and events it wouldn't hit nearly as hard
@@ricardomiles2957 the thing is, they really gave Thor development that was near the same level as Loki. The only thing was that they threw that all out the window with Thor 4.
Loki got two seasons with 12 episodes with each episode of being around an hour. Thor got 4 movies with each movie around 2 hr time which also had loki in first three movies
I'd like this quality in all of the MCU
Thor is a boring character
The fact that Loki turns it into the Yggdrasill tree is such poetic beauty that I can't even handle it. In Norse mythology, Yggdrasill is the world tree, a giant ash supporting the universe. It is closely related to the tree of life, a motif found across many cultures, and the tree of knowledge, which was said to grow in the Garden of Eden in Abrahamic religions (Judaism, Christianity, and Islam). In Norse mythology, Yggdrasill is an enormous ash tree that connects the nine worlds, including the underworld (Niflheim), the earth (Midgard), and the realm of the gods (Asgard). Yggdrasill is associated with both life and death: it acts as a gallows that the god Odin hangs himself from in order to gain mystical knowledge, and it is said to be the source of new life after Ragnarök (Doomsday), the catastrophic final war of the gods. He literally came full circle and became the protector of the world. Talk about Glorious Purpose. He had the biggest character development of everyone in the MCU and I am so proud of him, I just wish he can gotten a reunion with Thor :')
Here is the thing. He can reunite with Thor anytime he wants, but he knows that wont last forever. He has now risen to the level of the Watcher, where he can now get to watch not just his own variants but the variant of every character in the Marvel universe. That includes variations of Thor.
@@crimsonghoul8983 Yes. But I still want to see a reunion 🫂 😫
I also want him to reunite with Thor!
If only thor can see what Loki has became, thor would be proud of his brother truly
Yeah, he would be very proud for what kind of man Loki have become
Not because of the amount of power he obtained, but because he decided to use it for the good of everyone
@@doctornobody0 of course
I didn't say cause of the power he has now. But the person he became, but Loki season 2 finale seems like they are waiting to see what happens with Jonathan Majors in his court stuff to continue with him. Respectfully Kang is the most unique character ever introduced in Marvel each variant is completely different and there is so many layers to his character. Disney learned their lesson with Depp. So they didn't fire majors they're taking their time with him. But either way if we now skip Kang that means secret wars comes faster
He would be so proud
I don't think Loki is at the beginning of time. He's still at the end of time. He is replacing HWR on the throne. The only difference is, HWR built the TVA to destroy all branches and keep his timeline safe. Loki is doing something better by holding all the timelines together himself and using his powers to keep them all alive simultaneously. Hence, the birth of a stable Multiverse. So as long as he is there at his throne, the multiverse will exist. He is not creating stories. He is recreating the story of the timelines by letting all timelines exist together in the multiverse. Just like how Loki reached HWR in season 1, I think the rest of the heroes will have to reach him in Secret Wars to stop the multiversal war.
I think he is neither at end nor ar beginning, he is "THE CENTER OF TIME" who is holding all the timelines together
THIS is the answer. The infinite branches and stories couldn't exist on their own, they needed someone to give them life. Loki has taken that burden. He is the king that those lives need.
If they reach him in Secret Wars, the audience who didn’t watch the Loki series will be so fucking confused lol
@CruzaderKnight thats their fault tho 😂
👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 this
It's peak writing. This genuinely feels like a comic book, the stakes are high and you can believe them.
That scene of Loki ascending to God-hood is one of the most powerful Marvel scenes! That and Iron Man sacrificing himself! 😭💚
OMG I just realised that this episode is called glorious purpose which is the exact same as S1 EP1 name glorious purpose because this episode circles back to that 1st episode and reflects on how Loki is burdened by glorious purpose which is just absolutely incredible absolutely love this show 🔥🔥
Sad for this series to end. I hope they use Loki in future MCU films.
Hopefully we'll see him in the next Avengers films
they will, they will
I’m sure they will. He’s got variants out there.
@@tylerpifer5966 he's not I guess, he might be the only Loki left
I mean even this one what better way to do a mutliversal war than having multiversal character. And the war is going to happen anyway so someone took him out or he had to leave.
Okay. I sobbed at the end of this. Did anyone else have this emotional reaction? I feel like my heart is dying. He is Loki. And he is alone… but he saved everyone he loves. Dang it. I’m so, so sad.
I cried my eyes out.
I cried my eyes out for hours. I always loved loki but for some reason this whole arc, when taking into account everything, is just insane. I'm still mourning him, especially because Tom said this is it.
I think I was too shocked to cry, and this is coming from someone who cries very easily watching films/tv. I’ve been wanting to reach the episode to let it fully sink in, but I’m not mentally ready.
I cried. Badly enough to need a tissue and keep wiping my eyes to see
It *REALLY* hit me in the feels after being a fan for so long!
19:53 To asnwer your question...as he made clear earlier, HWR's end goal was to not only maintain the Sacred Timeline but to stay alive. Yes, he originally offered Loki/Sylvie the chance to replace him but the idea of Loki destroying the Sacred Timeline was never an option. Either Loki replaces him in Season 1 or Loki ends up in a loop trying to save the TVA before inevitably killing Sylvie. That was the real "gambit" of HWR. He was so sure that Loki would kill Sylvie. Because he' a "villain". He couldn't possibly comprehend the level of self-sacrifice he would go to in order to protect his friends. So, in the end, HWR's hubris was the end of him. Also, sorry Coy but I think you misinterpreted the ending; this isn't Loki at the beginning of time (with HWR at the end) - Loki is at the END of time, bascially taking the place of HWR. They're not some kind of mythological creator/destroyer duo, it's just Loki now occupying the "Big Chair". Loki might symbolise more of a creator in how he "rules" this domain but nothing more than that. Your comment that this "always had to occur otherwise there is no creation" makes no sense - HWR never wanted this because he didn't want to die (Said so himself), he wanted Loki to accept defeat and allow him to live. But Kang and his variants, however dangerous, are only human and it was that very Loki-like arrogance that made him underestimate his opponent. And the reason it said "After" was just to show that the next scene took place at a later time period, because the TVA is outside of time so they couldn't really say "6 months/weeks later". It just means after, bud. Occam's razor - the simplest explaination is usually the correct one
Beautifully said
Except you factually don't know that.
You don't know if Kang saw this future or not. That's just an assumption.
Loki make a third option that he who remains didn't think was possible.
Correct. It is however the assumption that feels most satisfying narratively. As we are dealing with fiction there is no "truth" until a writer comes along and fucks things up by refusing to leave Loki's arc finished.@@BrandonWestfall
You mean to tell me… that something went over Coy’s head?? He’s acting like he knows more than he actually does? No way. That never happens.
When he started talking fast and pressing buttons after centuries of time-slipping all I was thinking was "He's the Doctor. He's literally just the Doctor now." ...and then he turned into a Norse God. lol
None of his journey was a waste of time, though. Learning all the science and physics of how the Temporal Loom works was necessary for him to understand how to do the same thing with magic.
I liked the part where Loki tells Sylvie not to trust him and then says, “Believe me!”
When Mobius said let time pass I just started crying I loved this series
I think it’s both heartbreaking and beautiful that it wasn’t until after Loki decided and declared that “the last thing he wants is a throne,” that he finally got his throne. Not to mention episode 5 when he accepted the fact that he’s afraid and does not want to be alone. This ending was so somber and poetic.
Here’s my question…
Do you think Loki can duplication cast himself onto timelines to visit people?
I’m hoping for that so much. We see he was able to project to Earth from Asgard. I’m imagining it wouldn’t be too difficult from his seat at the EOT to project an apparition into any time or place. Even if it’s completely intangible or he can only hold it for a short amount of time. They have an easy excuse to drop a Loki cameo whenever they want if the need arises.
I don't know about you guys but to me this is some of the best sci-fi of any medium ever, I'm not even joking. It's crazy to see where Thor is at this point compared to Loki...Thor needs some redemption so badly.
Maybe I was feeling sensitive this morning too but all the Mobius stuff at the end made me kinda teary. God bless that man.
no im done giving thor a million chances ,dude had 4 movies ,5 is way overkill ,loki alone with 2 seasons and a couple cameos in avengers movies had a way better story, time to explore other options imo
@@onyx3019that's cuz Tom didn't allow the execs and higher ups try to screw him. He had tons of input on the character the characterization and the storyline. He has a godly amountly of knowledge about Marvel Comics and his character in the comics and he and Kevin seem to be on the same wavelength when it comes to Loki and they have a good rapport with each other. Hell, once they reboot the MCU, if Kevin Feige ever wanted to retire I could even see Feige passing the torch to Tom to lead the new MCU
I think this falls into sci-fantasy. I've had better, there other stuffs that executed the ideas in the series better but I guess it's pretty nice.
But it's more nice that you don't see the series as "superhero". That's another thing that's plaguing the MCU right now, fear of branching into other genres. They get trapped to the usual tropes cause Disney's too much of a chicken.
Look at the other high mark of MCU this year: GOTG 3. You CAN get away of calling this space opera, hard scifi and not superhero.
@@struggleskywalker1025 i would 100% be down for a hiddleston led MCU ,i just hope we dont get regurgitated storylines once they do reboot it
Absolutely . I think it's Tom involving in the production, loving and knowing the character, so we end up with that level of respect to the viewers and story . Absolutely happy for Loki . And feel bad for the other show and characters MCU has corrupted.
I have never said this, but loki season 2 episode 6, was just perfect. no second word needed.
It truly made me invested with my emotions like og marvel did.
Could not agree more,before this series i was feeling like my excitement and love for marvel is fading but this show got me excited like marvel always do. This was the best thing marvel has ever pit out after infinity war/endgame
Agreed. I have enjoyed most of what Marvel has put out recently, but I’ve never felt this excited for something until Loki season 2, and not since infinity war/endgame.
I’m so impressed with how they manage Loki’s character development. It’s actually incredible the writing of this show! 💚
my favourite thing about this episode was how much it feels like a comic, the pure visual storytelling of Loki stepping up to his role, the hopping around to different points in time, even some of the visuals looked like they could've come straight out of a comic
Loki sitting on his throne as the "Seed" within the Tree of Life was just perfection! Best MCU Show by far!!
Loki has literally become the god of the MCU. And frankly, I can't think of a single fan who'd object to that 😊
Let me intruduce you to :WANDA Fanatic Fans 😊
I love how there is no cameo no distraction its just loki and loki show love it. Best show ever
Right.
Um. Loki himself was like a cameo. He wasn’t needed much in this show at *ALL* until the final scene..
I wish Odin could see Loki now and see how far he's come, as cheesy as that sounds.
Also I love the flip where Thor was chosen but no longer rules Asgard and Loki wasnt but is now accepting the burden of his new throne and "glorious purpose" , but ultimately not wanting it.
Now thats character development 👏
Loki is Worthy now, no doubt.
@bable6314 That would be a really beautiful thing to see Loki lift Mjolnir and to have Thor witness it.
Loki just became the most powerful character in MCU in just 2 seasons.
Omg I know right
Man, Natalie Holt outdid herself with the music of this show, specially in this episode, truly masterful work
Omg yes, I adored the music!
YES!! Every episode had different flair but the finale was masterful!
She went crazy with the visuals that were literally out of this world for the scenes with Loki
No idea if this was coordinated but I like how Coy sit's in the pink chair next to Greg with the pink shirt who's sitting in a blue chair next to John with the blue shirt sitting on the red chair and on the other side there's Coy with the red shirt. It's like.... an Ouroboros....
They should pin this comment, good eye.
Orusborus
I like to think Loki can still send a projection through time/space so he can still enjoy himself.
If not, hopefully he can still watch over his friends and protect them.
Like Madame Web.
Hot take: I love Johnathan Majors as Kang. His acting is amazing.
Better hope he can convince that jury
@@roboninja3194 I hope so ngl lol ima b kinda disappointed
So where is the hot take in it? It is a popular opinion
@anushajain8198 true! I just know with everything around him these days, some might say otherwise. You know how cancel culture is.
The pause thing in the last episode was pretty nice to his character detail.
*”You are alone, and you always will be”* from season 1, god damn.
I like how they turned this show around, giving Loki the proper time and importance he deserved. In the end he was the one to save it all, to walk the walk, put in effort and stay true to his legend. Nice.
Well other than that, he was pretty useless and not needed.
“I might just wait here a little bit. Let time pass.” What a perfectly fitting line to end this show on. God I was not expecting this season to be as amazing as it was, especially with how let down I’ve been for the past couple of years.
Loki Who Remains. Loki - the God of Stories. GLORIOUS ending 💚. He Who Remains at the end knew that Loki will take the throne.
What a sacrifice. When World Tree Yggdrasil showed up I started screaming. Loki rewrote it that it was 9 realms tree, now its Multiversal tree. WOW.
I heard creators confirmed this makes Lokis story complete and theres no season 3 coming. Im glad.. I didnt know that before I watched the episode and still I knew that Toms stare means this may be the last moment we see him and he basically thanks everyone for this role. Teared me up so much instantly. I couldnt be happier. Loki may be possibly the best developed MCU character and I dont want anything else.
And btw I want Funko of Loki on that throne with branches 👀
A glorious observation! Not all heroes react…some comment.
👏👏👏👏👏👏💯💯💯💯
@@LordFrobozz Oh thank you very much ❤️
This felt so cosmic at the level we were all wishing to see in things like doctor strange 2. It's great to finally have this. It made me so sad because in the last episode Loki was basically crying over the fact that he didn't want to be alone and he wanted his friends back. Now to see it end with Loki making a sacrifice to be alone for all eternity to pretty much be the most powerful person in all of existence sitting upon his time throne. And does this mean they really are going away with kang and doing the doctor doom thing? Either way epic finale, very much worth the wait.
I think they could keep Kang. Soon as Loki leaves that place or something happens to him Kang is back literally lol but definitely a way out the Kang narrative if that's what they doing
the cosmic level beings would still be far more stronger than him, like eternity
he ain't Loki no more, he's Woki now 🔥🔥🔥
Loki really had a hell of a character arc and the writing for this series is a bright spot in the MCU.
@@accountnew7030 Bro how many times are you going to leave this same comment? Are you 12 yrs old?
This was something else. The visuals, the story telling, the emotions and everything so well put together too. It was absolutely AMAZING Story writing. Just wow...
Loki is literally THE God of All time🤯
He became more of a God than Odin, Thor, Hela and any other God there is.
And it almost makes me wanna cry to see Loki claim the Throne he was born for.
He went from my favourite villain, to my favourite hero
So, after all, Loki was actually born to be king, not of Asgard, but of the Multiverse. And not just a king. Now Loki is the root and connecting link of all the worlds, their center and ruler.
Sorry for getting this up so late guys! Took me 6 friggin uploads but just relieved its finally done. No idea why it kept getting blocked.
3am upload that's dedication bro sheesh
Why yall's sound is soooooo low I gotta install a volume booster extension
Disney is mad at your The Marvels review
The marvels review💀
With glorious purpose you were dedicated to keep uploading the reaction. The community thanks you.
What's interesting is that the phrase "Glorious Purpose" focuses on the 'Glory' aspect in S1E1, while this episode shifts to emphasize "Purpose" alone lacking any desire for glory. Loki didn't want a throne anymore. He wanted for his friends TO LIVE. Even if it meant to live without him. It was the ultimate sacrifice. Such beautiful writing. This is one of the reasons I believe Loki won't have S3, and I don't think there needs to be one. p.s. I appreciate that writers are attentive and focus on telling a multilayered story as opposed to just making shit up for no reason to have a 'big bad' or 'strong' characters. This felt like old MCU. Hopefully it transcends to to the future bigscreen projects as well
Loving the visual pun when Loki creates the steps to walk up to the throne. He's literally making his own path.
They need to imply in the future movies to come - LOKI is the reason why the time stone was always green!
Sick lol
Then what about the colors of the other Stones ?
This was such a beautiful episode. Loki truly is burdened with glorious purpose. 💚
Now, his purpose is this glorious burden
Loki is now playing the role of Atlez from the comics.(NOT THE GOD OF STORIES, look him up ) Atlez was in charge of keeping the multiverse binded together through his own body
Benson & Moorhead shaped this season into a truly cosmic epic unlike anything else in the MCU, and I really hope they're given free reign to provide more breath-taking cosmic visuals and personal-scale storytelling.
10 minutes into episode 1 of season 2 and I already knew they cooked up a marvel studios classic. Watched something in the dirt a film by them and I fucking loved it so I knew they would bring serious creativity to Loki!!!! they will definitely be getting more marvel work in the future
@@Davefromdabend5 Justin & Aaron are seriously the current masters of cosmic horror, and after tapping it a wee in Moon Knight too, I really REALLY hope they get to make an original mid-budget cosmic horror film
Makes me more hyped for DDBA after this finale
@@korrainomad365 fuck yea
And let’s not forget how much Natalie Holt contributed with her breathtaking score. This is by far my favourite OST of any Marvel project, and probably of any TV show ever. Spectacular
Im glad you guys managed to work around the block 😊
The fact that the Sacred Timeline is now in the shape of Yggdrasil, the World Tree, is just amazing.
Loki was Godspeed a masterpiece , my mind is blown I can’t even comprehend how amazing this series was, this was ahead of everything is film , the emotions just crazy !
That finale was perfect 😭 the visuals and meaning of the last few seconds of Loki are beautiful
Crazy Loki learning what he has to do via Renslayers making a hard choice and it’s poetic because Victor Timely and HWR said “Make the HARD choice” this season .
Loki is easily the best written character in MCU and top 3 mcu projects and Loki is the new face of MCU now 🔥
Hey Greg and John. My name is Joey and I was the Post PA for Loki who met you at the Disney lot while you guys were waiting to see Avatar 2 screening. I remember telling you both that Loki season 2 was going to be something special! It has been awesome to see your reactions to my team’s hard work. Keep up the great work!!!
Showing Yggdrasil the World Tree from Norse mythology was such a nice touch.
I WILL MISS THE LOKI SERIES MAN😭😭😭🥹 everything was just perfection
The fact that "He Who Remains' foresaw the future into the Temporal Loom collapsing is brilliant checkmating Loki. He made Loki go through hundreds of years of hell to travel back to this specific moment. If this variant of Kang being this sinister, The main prime version will be diabolical. In the end Loki found his glorious purpose by becoming the "God of Stories" holding all the different realities together. They literally combined elements from Stargate SG-1's episode "Window of Opportunity" with little bit of Sherlock as Loki does his classic speed talking mixed Quantum leaping as he jumps into his past version self.
Exactly. HWR was playing 4D chess. But it’s boring playing alone. Loki was initially just a pawn. But then he got time slipping powers. HWR literally let his pawn get to the end and become Queened so that he would have someone to play against. He totally expected that once Loki understood how the game worked, he would sit down and play with him. But instead Loki did something he wasn’t expecting, he flipped the table and scattered all the pieces.
Both really well put
He Who Remains was the Prime Kang. Hello, why else would he protect the Sacred Timeline (MCU timeline)? Prime Kang ended the War & became the Man in the chair & then Sylvie killed him. However with Victor Timely at the TVA alive & well at the End of Loki season 2 is that Prime Kang.
The best part for me is that we got Kangs backstory through Loki, Lokis conflict would of been the same as Kangs at first but they chose to achieve similar goals but in a entirely different way.
It's fantastic
The music, the story, everything about this show is AMAZING!!! I just can’t get over how PROUD Thor would be for Loki, he’s definitely came a long way from Thor (2011) can’t believe this was the Loki from The Avengers (2012)
20:21 - They did bring it back around
"Glorious Purpose" was the title of S1E1 & S2E6 -- a nice Ouroboros 🔥
Wow! Nicely worded 😭
'The last thing I want is a throne' Is a so simple but incredibly written line...
TRULY INCREDIBLE. This was one of those things where you go like "Will there ever be something this good again?". It's almost bittersweet watching the episode because it's so mind blowing, and you will never again watch it for the first time. The opening scene, the admiration of his friends, the finale of the second season being not just the obvious glorious purpose, but more amazingly, the burden... both emotionally with his friends, his respect for Mobius to go to him at the very end, but even carrying the timeline to the throne. Just amazing. The (somehow) even greater ominousness of HHR despite the same exact scene that was amazing to begin with. And the comic book like visuals, the opening scene, the ending scenes, his suit turning into Loki... so much respect for Disney and Marvel, Tom Hiddleston and everyone involved for this.
This episode was absolutely incredible! I loved this episode so much! It was honestly just a fantastic piece of television and in my opinion the best episode of the Loki series. It felt perfect! This entire episode was just beyond insane and every scene and moment was just so incredible! I thought that the writing was beyond incredible, the acting was fantastic, and the tone was amazing perfect. All throughout this episode I was on the edge of my seat filled with pure curiosity about what was going to happen next. This show’s story had me fully invested and interested within its first episode so I was super happy that it was able to perfectly stick the landing. I loved getting to watch a new episode of this show from week to week and getting to learn more about its story/plot as it unfolded. I’m just so glad that all the writers, directors and producers involved in this show were able to fully deliver on this series. And again I was amazed at just how incredible the music for this series was, I’m so glad that they brought Natalie Holt back to do this show’s score. The score for this episode in particular was incredible. Each scene sounded so intense and monumental, and I think each of the scores fit this season finale so well. And again, each actor gave a fantastic performance throughout the entirety of this show, I felt like they were all doing a fantastic job for these characters. They all felt like they were fully dedicated and invested to their character and their role. And with how great of a job each of them did I honestly can’t picture any other actor filling their roles. Also it was only a minor thing but I really liked seeing Marvel Studios into go in reverse, I just think it was a really fun and creative thing for them to do. I loved seeing Loki reliving the same moment at the Loom over and over trying to get a different outcome. I thought it was such a fun and entertaining scene and seeing how Loki got more exhausted and stressed with each time really made it seem like he had been at this for a countless number of times. But Loki’s final Time Slip to the Loom was amazing! Not only was this scene itself so momentous, but the visual effects of the Loom and detail of Victor Timely’s suit slowly wearing away were all so amazing looking. And Loki’s reaction to the Loom still not working was perfect, he gave off this great balance of being worried, tired and sad which just truly sold me on how devastated he was about this. Also Victor Timely saying he was sorry was so sad especially because of the tone of the voice and the look on his face. That moment fully convinced me that his character never was and never would have been evil. And then we see Loki go back to the Season One finale right before Sylvie kills He Who Remains, I loved this. Not only was this entire scene super great and really interesting, but getting to see Jonathan Majors do his He Who Remains performance again was so great. And I just really liked seeing Loki having to relive the fight with Sylvie and the way he became more and more tired and desensitized to the it after doing it so many times. I also loved Loki’s discussion with He Who Remains, not only was everything they were talking about really interesting and entertaining but seeing how desperate for a solution Loki became as they went on really made you feel his emotions in that moment. He has been trying for literally centuries to try and save the Timeline and his friends and now he’s lost, he feels like there’s nothing he can do and you can feel how scared and worried he is throughout this whole scene. I loved Loki’s discussions with both Mobius and Sylvie. Both of these talks were just really deep and super impactful on both the audience and Loki himself. And I really liked how they both gave him very different approaches to the problem and he used ideas from both to come up with his final plan. I also loved how Mobius and Sylvie mean so much to Loki now that they were the ones he went to when he needed help. Then we get the incredible scene where Loki says goodbye and goes out to the Loom and transforms into what I’m calling god of Time Loki. And before I get talking about how incredible this entire part of the episode was, I absolutely loved that Loki’s final line of the season was “For you. For all of us.” which was his final line in the first Thor movie. That is some excellent writing and I’m so happy they put that in there. But anyway, this scene was fantastic, this was the perfect payoff and it felt we had been building up to this moment the entire series. And as if to complement the impact of this incredible scene, the visuals in this scene were so amazing. Loki’s transformation, his destruction of the branches, his re configuration of them and the entire scene where he is weaving them together all looked incredible, the lighting, coloring, look, texture and detail of everything in that scene made it all look so real yet ethereal. And seeing Loki walking up to the throne while weaving all the different branches together was as amazing and such a beautiful shot. And then seeing the Timeline change into the form of the Norse Mythology World tree was so amazing and the visuals for it looked beautiful and awesome. Then we get to see how the stories for Sylvie, Mobius, B-15, O.B., Casey and even Ravonna are wrapped up which is really great to get to see, especially for Mobius who finally saw what his life on the Timeline was. I can’t wait to get to see one of these characters we’ve followed throughout this show pop back up again in another Marvel project. Although, that ending did bring up one pretty big question for me, what happened to Victor Timely? The last we saw him he was in the room with everyone else while Loki was reforming the branches of the timeline. But then in the ending of the episode, when it shows where everyone will be leaving the show off on, it shows him as the little kid in the 1800s except this time he didn’t receive the TVA Guidebook. So that shows how they stopped that boy from becoming a potential Kang Variant, but what exactly happened to the Victor Timely we had been watching throughout the majority of the show? But with that little critique aside, I can’t believe that this season is already over. That is just so crazy to me, I still feel like I’m really ready for this season to be over yet. But I will say, with this episodes ending I am super excited and curious to learn about where this story will lead and how it will impact the future of MCU and its story. I really loved everything about this new season and I’m so happy with how it ended and how all the storylines were able to be wrapped up by the end.
By far one of the best finales of a MCU series! Kudos to the writers for sending their brains through the mental gymnastics of planning this out. I'm excited for the multiverse and what's to come going forward.
Loki once again have set the bar. This is perfection
This was by far and away the best season of TV Marvel have put out. The writting, the perofmances, the Cinematography, the set design. Everything was top quality. And what anamazunf two season ark for Loki! Loved it!!!
Crazy how after the whole season of Loki trying to keep his friends, he’s now alone. For all time. Always.
Well, thanks to Loki becoming the tree of life of the Multiverse now Sylvie can go anywhere and live the life that she always wanted
And I have the feel she later will help the avengers to make sure that this new oportunity give it from loki doesn't waste
@@nayelivalenciana2304 I hope so too
I think she understood that- like she said herself, Loki is giving them a chance to fight back. The war is inevitable, and the kang variants will come, so she might actually also try and find people to fight back
@@peppocket7683 maybe even with mobius, like a team 😅
She doesn't deserve it. She essentially destroyed the mutliverse for her "vengeance" and not once did she take responsibility, in fact she held Loki responsible and expected him to fix it. Terrible character.
Give Tom his Emmy!!!
Exactly 💯
21:09 omg LOL I was cheering with you. Man I keep watching that part over and over!!!
It immediately reminded me of Aunt May’s speech in SM2, where she says sometimes you have to be still and give up the thing you want the most; Loki finally had a group of friends and a place to belong and he gave it up for them to have a chance to live 😢
To quote the Collector:
"Magnificent. Magnificent. MAGNIFICENT!"
What an episode. Loki is some of the best stuff the mcu has ever put out
Tony and Loki's sacrifices... Made me cry.
masterpiece didn't expect seeing the tree of life perfectly done for the mcu
If you think back to last seasons finale he who remained offered his job to them and then by the end of this season you come to find out it was his plan all along for Loki to end up taking his place but disguised it in a way that it was a natural progression and decision Loki had to make
Best finale since Infinity War (we lose)/Endgame (we win but with burden). Tom Hiddlestone deserves an Emmy for this, what an actor! And Majors truly amazing in this one! Hope we will know more about this in Kang Dynasty/Secret Wars
What was the point of victor though?
@@LetsGetitBoah He is one of Kang´s variants, and the coauthor of the TVA´s guide, he will grow again and make his amazing discoveries but without the help of Ravonna or Miss Minutes
@@LetsGetitBoahwithout the factor of Victor Loki would’ve never figured out what he needed to do. HWR knew Victor was gonna fail and he needed him to so that Loki could take the offer he gave him in the first season and that’s being the one in control of the timelines.
Hiddleston has always been a treat as Loki, but he really elevated the character to insane heights here in Season 2. Absolutely amazing stuff.
Talk about redemption, Loki is literally holding all of time together, he is the God Who Remains, the living Loom, the greatest villain to hero arch ever put on screen.
They couldn’t have made a better finale
Best show in the entirety of the MCU. It’s shows how much potential this franchise has. It’s not fucking dead yet!!
Wow Loki is Marvel at its finest and what should have been all Disney + shows, it has its own style and exceeded all expectations. Its lowkey bittersweet seeing it end
Loki became a real God from the trials of humanity. Hell of a character arc.
Now I want a rematch!! This Loki vs the now Thor 😂 I need the reunion! They both have changed so much lol
That was a fantastic explanation of the God of Stories!! Thank you, Coy!! Great reaction y'all!!
hype hype hype, this finale was absolutely beautiful, the ending with the tree. Gorgeous. The choice to not do an end credit gives me so much respect to just let it focus on the story we just got taken on and let us sit with it, instead of trying to sell the next thing. It felt like they actually cared about the title character and gave him his time.
The tree was shown throughout the season. In the murals and on the posters. Weird that no one noticed it.
This was by far the one of the best series/stories of the MCU so far. I was blown away by the finale. WOW I didn’t think I could love Loki more & BAM 🌳
Facts
amazing episode and beautifully crafted. i love how much the music enhanced the emotions brought on by the acting. can't even think straight, right now. i'm thankful for the journey.
I like the touch that Loki took the advice of old Loki that blades are useless in the face of sorcery, he hardly uses his beloved daggers this season at all. And ends up using his sorcery to ascend to true godhood.
