Nice
Mobius was talking about Loki being very good at making TVA tech like OB. Not ob being the one to make the TVA.
Jesus isn't mythology he was a real person
May I point out that there is another trickster god named Anansi who becomes a god of stories (and is also a spider commonly using webs or string)
When Loki first appeared in Avengers 1, he commanded that everyone should abandon their free will and kneel before him. Loki’s last appearance was him abandoning his freedom in order to give the multiverse free will… That’s a character arc!!!
That wasn't the first movie of loki but, other than that, you are absolutely right.
Loki's first movie was Thor 1
@@TON__618.that’s not what the comment says 😂 he said when Loki first appeared in Avengers 1, not that avengers was the first appearance of Loki. But, that is also wrong because the first scene in avengers is not Loki making humans bow before him, it was him arriving on earth and killing propel followed by him saying he has Glorious Purpose.
@@JosePineda-jn8jk Yeah, that's right, thanks for correcting me.
Indeed, great story arc!
Loki and Rocket Raccoon have had some of the best character arcs in the MCU.
Truly one of the best 👏👍
Yes
I mean who else would there be
@@mexicanriceNebula also has had a significant arc as well.
@mexicanrice why does everyone keep forgetting about Tony Stark's whole Story Arc. His death was shocking af lol
Loki is quite literally *holding the MCU together…*
Love it. 😂
😮😮😮😂
facts
Recently
@@zeronime284Yep, and it's been needed a LOT recently.
It's understated just how depressing it is that Loki spends centuries reliving the end of the TVA just for his solution to not work.
sometimes you just need a long time to accept the decision you have to take 🥲
@@thomasbernhardqedgreat words
No fr that shit HIT ME especially since they just threw "centuries later" on the screen then cut right back to him trying to figure out the same exact problem like nothing happened. I actually had to pause it cause I was like wait WHAT!? U CANT JUST BREEZE PAST THAT SHIT
But he now knows physics and quantum mechanics
that part got me lmao, when Timely said it would take centuries, he actually took the time to review everything before attempting another Timely timeline fix just for it not to work out like he expected. Loki’s patience there must’ve been, impossible
This finale was the first thing marvel has done in years that actually gripped my full attention. No phone in hand, no doing other stuff while it’s on in the background. Simply locked in and watching intently.
Definitely
same
I was on the edge on my seat the whole time
Facts every episode too
Maybe that's a you problem 😂😂
This episode might’ve solidified Loki as one of, if not my favorite MCU product.
easily the best MCU content ever
Same
This is exactly how i wanted to see Loki
Agreed 👍🏼 ❤
but saying that... it DOES make sense considering with wanda... where strange is probably heading in power.. LOVE... and now how insanely powerful loki is since god of stories IS the most powerful version of loki... they are setting up some SERIOUSLY op characters... and that ALSO really excites me for the future... to the point that JUST MAYBE we might ACTUALLY see a "beyonder" or someone at least at that level to have a purpose for all this growing broken characters
If they don't give us season 3 it's okay. Season 2 really surpassed my expectations. The best ending in Marvel universe.
i hope they leave it this was the perfect ending
Endgame was the best ending until it ended up not being an ending
Spiderman no way home ending is very good too. Ending with what defines a hero is lacking in most of MCU movies, Thor 4 for example...
@@vi5ionnono507I feel like this is still a better ending than endgame because it focused on one character rather than multiple characters who hadn't met each other 1 movie ago... Yeah andgame was a better spectacle but this imo was the better ending to a character who was there from the start
@@JohnMarston-sf1vk yeah before marvel started kind of going down the drain I thought it was Endgame but I agree with you now.
6:29 I also like how the "NOT TO SCALE" sign foreshadows that the loom can't scale
That's an impressive find!
Good catch!
wow nice!
Wow, what a sharp eye, nice
Isn't that just saying that it isn't to actual scale?
I'm not gonna lie, I balled my eyes out at the end of this episode. Imprisoning himself on a throne, sacrificing himself on the altar of loneliness to fulfill his glorious purpose and protect his friends is the ultimate character arc. I felt utterly devastated and proud of his growth and evolution. And in the end embracing his "losing" destiny so that those he cared about could win. Brilliant conclusion.
💀💀💀
Made me cry too
I'm OK with it. He had centuries learning physics. I'm sure he'd lived enough multiple lifetimes. 😅
@@TheShumoby he lived in a loop...
in the same loop for centuries@@lastsaviour4916
The amount of character development for Loki since the first Thor to now is incredible.
Technically we've seen two characters worth of development. Pretty trippy.
@@richg9578 Two characters, two destinies, both grow in they on way! Both ends are perfect!!!!
Yes, but it’s still ego driven.
Not everyone validates themselves via the Internet, my good spunkbubble.
Its incredible and a poetic way to end his story.
Loki is the best bit of storytelling the MCU has had to offer yet.
Honestly, yes, 2×06 was some of the greatest storytelling and looks I've seen from anything
Reminds me of the strength of the Andor series.
yeah true. its an eye opening for me
That and endgame are the best marvel projects ever just cuz they concluded literally decades of films
Yes, but nobody has really explained to me what the god of storytelling is or where that character even came from lol. I guess I will have to do my own research on that.
Loki's writers SHOULD be heavily involve in the secret wars
I haven't seen such good writing for a while, they definitely must work on more stuff !
they have to be involved in all projects moving forward
They really nailed this finale
The finale was epic. Everyone who took part in this series should be proud of themselves.
@@pooloftim8263 That's just incorrect
@@pooloftim8263just factually wrong
@@pooloftim8263that is false
@@pooloftim8263 u prolly find paint drying entertaining then
I got game of thrones vibes! Well done disney
Loki transforming into the world tree might be the most powerful emotional scene in the entire MCU. I could not have asked for a better ending.
Cried bruh, imagery was too beautiful
Idts I think he should have died
@@udulapathirathna8969He fulfilled his glorious purpose. A purpose that his 2012 version could not have even imagined. That is an ending far more beautiful than his dying.
Well he didn’t become the world tree
He didn't transform though. He's just sitting and holding them lol
The foreshadowing in the episode where Loki is trying to get Mobius to focus on HWR, and he says, “yeah but in order to do that, I need a Loki who remains”. This series is incredible. Loki’s transformation down the gangway is officially my favorite transformation of any character in any movie/series.
Gotta agree, it looked cool, slick and was a tually super meaningful and impactful
The take away I got from this was that Loki ISN'T alone. He see and hears any of his friends that he wants to. Loki is the God of Stories and Master of Time. Fantastic series and thoroughly enjoyed it. Odin and Thor would be so proud. Fantastic journey, thank you.
This is by far the best take
@@someweirdhermit so maybe like the Watcher too, he can only see and hear all the multiverse if he want to.
@@MrHanokodokhe did have clone illusion. so technically he can still engage in multiverse.
@@rookieboy4957If there is a season 3, I want loki to do that. He can be anywhere he wants to be as his clone. I think he can do so much more if he wants it. Like how he learned engineering and physics for a century just to help the tva. He’s got all the time he can get. I feel like he’s going to be Marvel’s strongest character but and I hope we can see him get to that point
Sadly, after being Waititi-ed, Thor does not have the cognitive capacity to know whether to be proud or not. His main interest is doofus-ery.
After watching this I can say with absolute certainty that Loki was the best thing Marvel has done since Endgame. It was a work of art. I wouldve paid to see it over and over in theaters.
From a technical standpoint? Yes. The story, the visuals, the narrative repercussions, all that good jazz. Definitely. But in terms of entertainment and fun, which to me are the most important aspects of media, no. Shang-Chi is still top for me. I'd say Loki S2 gets an 8, and when combined with S1 an 8.75.
Endgame wasn’t all that …
Most of the season was fuller but they knocked the last episode out of the park.
@@grandpagohan1 judging by your logic, interstellar is just average? I can't believe you think shang chi is better than Loki lmao
@@grandpagohan1 shang chi is mid
That moment Loki opened the doors and heading towards the loom. Best scene ever. I never saw this version of Loki coming, its one of the best portrayed character ever.
For real I loved this episode so much
Loki’s character growth these last 14 years has truly been GLORIOUS!!!
jeezus! 14 years of marvel movies. no wonder there has been a decline. maybe they’ll be able to turn things around
The fact that he couldn’t ever kill Silvie speaks volume of him wanting their future 😢
He is sylvie. I mean I'd definitely fall for the female variant of myself. Besides sylvie is hot af
@@aengtechayo wtf
if he did that that wouldnt solve anything countless lives would be loss because of kang anyways.
The ending was nothing less than perfection. I was in shock for like ten minutes after it ended. Glorious burden. Odin would be so proud of Loki.
But - remember - this was a variant. However, the Loki that died in Infinity War being the true Loki would have made Odin no Less Proud, as he did try to play to his Strength to save his Brother.
Loki could have given Thanos the Tesseract and washed his hands of it, saving himself. But instead, he stood up to Thanos and died for it. That is the mark of a warrior - to face impossible odds and still press on in spite of it. Loki would have been primed for Valhalla, and given the end of Love and Thunder - because of his actions - we may see Loki Prime return again! After all, Heimdall was also there, who died before him, so ... when they inevitably return, we shouldn't be surprised if Loki Prime returns as well, which could be influenced by Storyteller Loki if we want to keep his current persona, only still Prime Loki in most ways. Not only this, but his other honorable acts include
- him resurecting Surtur to help with Thor's plan to push forward with Ragnarok
- him helping the Revengers against Hela during Ragnarok
- him actually being on the ship at the end of Ragnarok, unlike him projecting in the circular prison in Saccar to save his skin
Death could change him the way it did Variant (Storyteller) Loki... and then again... slightly another version - We may see him resurrect as Kid-Loki and Storyteller may appear as Ikol for the Young Avengers version, advising the team that will defeat Kang! After All, Storyteller Loki can write his story now, which may mean he can affect things in the Prime storyline. Remember that Kid-Loki was a Hero in the comics.
Also in the comics, being worthy of Mjolnir once fell to Loki when Thor was deemed not worthy.
@@wolfthunderspirit2709arent they all variants?
@@wolfthunderspirit2709all variants are the same as they follow the sacred timeline
I think it’s the same original Loki from endgame because when they went back in time for the affinity stones they messed up and Loki escaped so essentially he never made it to the point thanks killed him in turn changing the course of history
@@nathanberthiaume1317 but that's the confusing part, isn't it? It gets into retrocausality and all sorts of paradoxes.
The beauty of *Loki* spending centuries learning the physics and science is that it also prepared his mind to cast the correct magic he needed to survive the loom and seize the branches.
That doesn't even make sense
@@CriminalFunksterWhen I finish the sentence, the sense went completely out of window, just like you thought too, lol!
I think He Who Remains set Loki up so that he COULD do that, it was his plan all along!
@@Help867me to Sadly.
That and mastering the time magic required to also do those things.
He who remains said “I know Champ” endearingly. Like him and Loki had more history than the audience or Loki had seen yet.
I'd kinda thought after HWR telling Loki that, it indicated that he knew Loki was going to find a way to take over time like HWR initially wanted.
@@christopherquintana2967Idk if it's the way HWR wanted, because he showed his true colors when he indicated he didn't actually want to die. HWR even made it so that if he did die there would be consequences. So... Like Loki said, he changed the equation to his liking.
No one mentioning that this was an option He Who Remains gave in the season 1 finale is surprising. He told them they could take over and run it which is essentially what Loki did in the end. It probably wasn’t in the way people expected, but it still happened.
But He Who Remains wanted them to take over the loom and not the tree of life
@@aritramondal6942 loki replaced the look with himself. The loom can only weave one thread of time but loki being the look beats all mechanical disadvantage the loom had
@@aritramondal6942 He Who Remains never said or implied a specific way for them to do it though, so he left it up to them
@pilot8220 He wanted them to keep the loom. The reason he created it was to prevent the multiversal war. So it is pretty clear what he wanted - not infinite branches.
Props to Loki for spending centuries, stuck in a loop of time, just learning how the loom works, and all the physics required for it.
He can also randomly timeslips to the Stark Tower with Tony and asked a random question suddenly about quantum physics.... rather than on the same room with Victor and OB or at least I imagined it to be I mean getting stuck in the same room at the same moment is insanity
@@carcas3d true, it would make sense to not go back to the EXACT same place for centuries.
I hope in what if season 2, we can get a loki story on what he did with that “century later” imagine 100 years understanding physic and science im sure he did meet a lot because of that
I would have like to see more of a montage of him learning throughout the sacred timeline multiverse, with many variant teachers, such as Stark, Pym, B
@@carcas3dI said loki went and slipped to his mom and asked a magic question to help control time and break the loom.
Watching Loki transition from the God of Mischief to the God of Stories was beautiful to witness!! Marvel has outdone themselves with this series!
He transitioned from the God of Mischief to the Custodian of the Multiverse, not the God of Stories.
@@Corvid76he literally said that he became the God of Stories at least twice and also stated that in the comics this scene was kinda based off that he became the God of Stories. He never said the custodian of the multiverse
Loki is literally the G.O.A.T, God Of All Time.
@@Gamercatosyou are absolutely right
@@richardfrey3075the custodian of the multiverse is literally the same role that was depicted in the season finale how could he be the god of stories when he’s doing nothing that the Loki GOS does in the comics?
My biggest hope is that this Loki can be seen and acknowledged by the OG super heroes somehow - so they know, and more importantly, he knows they know, that he is accepted as a hero and not just a villian.
Don't think they would do that. Besides loki does not need recognition from the heroes in the first place. It's his friends that he cares about and they all witness the event unfold in front of their eyes. That's what matter though
@@zulhilmi5787Nah they for sure want the audience to see a moment of Thor and Loki
Not sure if it was mentioned but Loki got pruned because of the Tesseract/Space stone usage and the first time we see the Tesseract is in Captain America: The First Avenger where it was hidden in a relief carving of Yggdrasil where Red Skull found it. Loki is now the center of Yggdrasil.
Ooooh nice attention to detail!
I was blown away when they tied in Yggdrasil. Makes me wonder how much Odin knew about the future when he adopted Loki.
You mean Clearasil?
@@ambermiyuki7476what?
@@jacobwillard3530I think he was implying a pun because they kinda rythme.
Did Odin have “see into the future” powers?
@@elevatedreamnot sure but his mom kind of did
This is one of the biggest and best character developments in the entire mcu, marvel actually cooked with this series
High key Cooked
@@claudedottin1312More like Loki cooked
I'll see my way out
@@ElectroKing77 😂 👏🏾 Hold my Spaghetti
@@claudedottin1312i see what you did their
@@ElectroKing77Please do 😂😂😂
Something that I thought about as soon as I saw Loki sit down on the throne was the scene with Sif in S1xE1. Loki saw being (physically) alone as a form of torture, but now that he has realized his true glorious purpose (protecting his friends), being physically alone no longer matters because he will always have the memories of his loved ones. I think this series did an excellent job in showing loneliness does not come from the amount of people you are physically around, but more so the amount of people that you have connected with.
This is one of my favourite comments
"I might just wait here for a little bit, let time pass."
Perhaps the best words to conclude Loki's journey.
made me cry when Mobius said this
How he stayed steadfast after centuries towards his glorious purpose was outfuckingstanding. Consistently optimistic in his resolve.
Right!! Love it!
I don't think he had a choice😅
@@MrTimboman14imagine being optimistic after literally centuries of the hardest physics and engineering classes that have ever existed. Shit, imagine being optimistic in that situation after midterms
@@MrTimboman14he was doing it for the sake of his friends…. Def had a choice. Didn’t even wanna kill Silvie
@gotone2513 if he killed sylvie the war still would have happened. Kang would still win.
When Thanos said “ the hardest choices require the strongest will” I felt that in this episode. This finale was absolutely heartbreaking and so incredible at the same time. Loki did really fulfill his glorious purpose. And this quote from thanos just sum it up for me
Also we saw that they didnt give the handbook to victor. But what happened to current one that helping them? They killed him?
31:46
@@zimknxckb4ckprobably returned him back to his timeline because him with the handbook is on a branch timeline and normal victor the candle maker is on the sacred timeline
@@giovannicuriel5885I don't think there's a "sacred" timeline anymore. Just numerous ones living happily (more or less).
@@DamianCRWDctrlthere is, just one closer to the center
@@giovannicuriel5885 that is the original victor timely on the sacred timeline
I laughed uncontrollably when Loki started trying to speed up the process. It made me feel like someone who has to control every situation instead of letting things unfold as they should. It's not the message at all. It's actually one of mastery. He does a surprisingly good job at getting people to go along with his convoluted plan.
"Scan your temporal aura in this fine Machine. It looks... Lethal. It is absolutely safe"
I loved how he tried everything
With Loki being connected in all multiverses, he can create a copy of himself and travel in all the universes, moving back and forth in time because of his control of time slipping.
Something I’ve noted is that when Loki makes his final time slip back to the TVA, he is greeted by the announcement, “Welcome, He Who Remains.”
That was because Timely had put his head into the temporal aura machine right before though
@@elieaxelrad8464 I understand that, I’m just remarking that symbolically it signals what he’s about to become.
@@elieaxelrad8464you're an absolute genius 😂
Interesting
You know the time stone is colored green?! 😭🥺
This episode should be up for an Emmy. It was so good.
I agree! I'm going to be watching the Emmys with intense attention this year.
Anyone else notice how when the timeline was based on Kang’s time loom the TVA members were told to prune. Which in botany means the process of selectively removing certain parts of a plant. It’s cool how Loki’s remaking of the timeline to resemble Yggdrasil (a tree) and TVA members are instead told to essentially water the tree, and let it grow.
I loved it when He Who Remains did the whole "you haven't learned to pause.time.yet." bit. That was everything.
Me too 😂
one thing i really like about Loki's God of Stories appearance is that it has none of the usual pomposity his usual godly outfits have. it's not a finely stitched piece meant to make him look wealthy and important with lots of gold bits in it; it's fairly simple and humble, reflecting his growth as a character; a green cloak, muted colours and simple practical shoes. the garb of a simple storyteller, and not an arrogant godling
Comfortable clothes ideal for sitting on the throne.
Doesn't that make him one above all
After all sitting alone for all eternity you would want to be comfortable. Despite the character growth I think the clothes also represent that of comfort, in himself and the choice he has made.
If you go to comics explained he says that it's not actually Loki god of stories but a character known as the Custodian something where he sits on his throne and holds the multiverse together and that someone always has to be at the helm I know I'm A little off with the name of the character but that's the name more or less
@SirAdamusGames Yep, comfortable clothes, no ostentatiousness--yes true, except that he has a huge crown with big ol' horns! I guess he still just had to let some of his inner Loki out. Lol
I don't know if it was coincidence or all planned out but the fact that the time stone is green, the same green as Loki's magic, he was always meant to be where he ends up.
Always…
Thats a good take
The fact That the ETHER Is red has always meant that ANAKIN WAS MEANT TO BE DARTH VADER
@@brianlopez8986The Prophecy
That's an interesting concept, then when you say something like.. "Father time holding together all the strands of time and existence " green, time stone, father time, strands, time, existence...😮🤔🤫🤷♂️
Loki is my favorite character ever, that ending was so beautiful. I like to think that with loki's magic he could project himself down to other people, so he could see Thor again and let him know he's okay. That honestly the only thing I wish we got was the emotional reunion of them
This felt like a series finale, was amazing and I'm sad if it's done. 😢 best thing in the mcu since endgame

@@theworm7156seriously, it was whatever. Lmao.
Loki walking up the gangway and transforming was so badass. This is top tier Marvel.
After seeing the first few failures of loops, I knew somehow in the end Loki would have to be the one that walked out to the loom. Didn’t think it would end the way it did though lol
I really can’t think of another actor that could portray Kang/HWR/all the variants. Majors is amazing. None of the variants have felt the same.
Loki’s selfish want is to not be alone and the last thing he wants is a throne. However, his sacrifice to fulfil his glorious purpose was to sit all alone in a throne to protect the multiverse. I love this series.
Loki becoming Yggdrasil & replacing He Who Remains, replacing him with something better, was pure poetry. Beautiful finale and entire season.
Absolutely beautiful, I agree. He became an asgardian protector of the entire multiverse

One thing I am very curious about this finale… B15 asked Mobius, ”Do any of them know that we exist yet?”
This is something…. a big something, because Immortus said that “they are beginning to touch the Multiverse”… so maybe it was not the death of Kang at Quantumania that triggered the Kang Council… but Loki changing the equation.
Season 2, literally a master class on what we need again.
When Loki said , " the last thing thing i want is the throne"
I felt it.
Coz he really meant it when he said it.
When Loki Loki became the hero of the MCU, I felt it.
@@swah47the first time he said it and meant it. shit was beautiful
The moment he said that, he was ready for a throne.
And it was deep that the throne he got was a selfless one of amence importance, that hardly anyone knows about 😢
I just have to throw props to Owen Wilson as Mobius along with my 1000% agreement to everyone's comments about Tom's performance, and every minute of both seasons. Owen was perfect as Loki's first friend, and partner, and his serious and comedic moments. I sure we could see him again with Loki.😢
Yes people do not mention this enough. Saw him at a club once funny imagining him being in London acting on seados
Owen did such a great job portraying mobius sadness after Loki left. "Let time pass" 😢😢
I so hope that Loki & Morbius meet again 😭
Yess exactlyyy!!! Owen Wilson was amazing as Mobius!! I hope he and Loki reunite again!!!
Did he catch the props or did you throw them over his head?
I feel like the version of HWR we get in the end here is a TOTALLY different Kang than the HWR we got at the end of Season One. Different speech patterns. Different mannerisms. Perhaps it's just him letting the mask slip. But the variety of different performances Majors is coming with as this character is remarkable.
It felt like he was showing his true self without all the extra theatrics. He was remarkable indeed
Unfortunately or rather fortunately since he got arrested his whole sage has been shoved into the trashbin.
@@nguyentandung42 No it hasnt been, theyre still keeping it going, youre ignorant
This was amazing. The sad contentment on Loki's face, sacrificing himself to literally hold life together. It was fantastic, and the best thing Marvel have done since Endgame. What a character arc!
Loki has the most INSANE arc compared to the other characters in the entire MCU. And I can argue about it!
🐊From the "God of Mischief" to the "God of Stories"💚
WHAT A BEAUTIFUL ENDING!
Him & Rocket…
Tony stark's arc is also great.
I Am IRONMAN!🫰
He has 2 arcs if you think about it
@@lil_cali714___Yeah, he does. His first arc ends with Thanos killing him, and then the one from "2012" that ends here. I know. Different Lokis, but still.
In terms of the fear of being alone, I kind of got the feeling that at the end of it all he wasn’t alone. He could hear Mobius’ voice through the branches, and doubtless every one of his friends clearing their path on the timeline. I think now he is content to watch the stories of his friends, and those stories help him to not be alone.
Loki, the God of Stories.
I kinda disagree. You can see loki's eyes weeping as he hears those words from mobius. He didn't overcome his fear of being alone and he's definetely isn't happy. This isn't a happy ending for loki like most of other marvel movies, he accepted his burden because he knew only he can face the challenge of holding the multiverse together, therefore giving his friends a chance at happiness. At last he got his glourious purpose, and now he is cursed for all of eternity.
I completely disagree with this! But I do absolutely understand where you’re coming from ^^
I actually think you both are right. Why can't it be both? He may not have overcame his fear of being alone, but him being able to watch or monitor his friends on their timeline may provide him some solace. Both opinions can be right in the end.
@@marcusjackson4148agreed
I was gutted by that last scene of Loki alone, just when he had found a group of friends he could truly invest in.
I like to think that now Loki next arc will depict him in an ultra powerful way, and since he is holding onto every branch of time and sustaining the very life within, said branches, I feel as though he can project himself into anyone of those timelines at any given moment
does this make him the most powerful being in all the multiverse orr?
All I want is Atleast a reunion of Thor and Loki one more time so Thor can see how much he’s changed
Yes 😢 I also want Kid Loki...
This is fictional buddy. They are just characters. U acting like Thor who is a fictional character actually cares about Loki another fictional character 🤣. Ur living in fantasy land
@@raymondqiu8202what are you yappin about ☠️
@@raymondqiu8202well Thor and Loki are brothers in the MCU and comics. I think this person just wants to see how Loki has changed, yes Thor might not like what his brother does
, but still loves him and wants the best for him. We saw that at the end of Thor 2, when he faked his death and saw that when he died in Infinity War that he loved his brother and just wanted to have a story arc.
Yeah me too
They really gave him such a strong redemption arc it’s crazy if only Thor could see his brother now he would be so proud
So would, Odin and Frigga! 😊
I like to think he’s still able to experience his whole life because he’s mastered time. So he’s never alone.
Loki choosing his burden to exist outside of time so Sylvie, his friends and everyone in every timeline can have a choice and live freely at the risk of causing a multiversal war is tragically beautiful 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
When Loki Season 2 started, Mobius literally guessed the solution which we've got in the end. Instead of focusing on He Who Remains, Mobius says "I need Loki who remains". This is some kind of replacement of one person with another and now I realize that entire season was Loki replacing Kang step by step.
Epic Series! Beautiful ending scene and Glorious conclusion! And the proof that MCU can have some good and emotionally fulfilled stories after Endgame!
Great catch!
Ok, hear me out...
If Loki is holding every strand of the Multiverse together, wouldn't he be able to project his consciousness into any of those strands at any point in time? His physical body would still be holding the multiverse together but his consciousness could be anywhere it wants to be therefore he could still be active every now and then in the MCU without messing up this perfect character arc. Maybe a reunion with Thor?
Just like Wanda did in Doctor strange 2. 💀
I 100% think they will utilize that idea, have him become somewhat of a mentor figure/advice giver. Everyone once in a while, the next to all knowing Loki God of Stories drops in the help get characters out of one line of thinking and into another to solve their problems.
He's the Third eye of the Raven Hunnin (or Munnin)
@@BodhiChimpyess pleasee
Kinda like joy from Eeaao 🤔
12:42 Jonathan Majors had me hysterically laughing exactly like he was 😂 especially when he mimicked Timely's stutter (18:03 thank you 😂) he killed me with such a good performance so I hope he is able to continue as Kang, even though I still want Doom as secret wars' villain
When i truly feel sad saying goodbye to characters, thats how i know its a good story. Thanks loki
Majors dropping all the acts, season 1 Kang, making fun of Timely, and just talking to him like anyone you'd meet on the street was a stroke of genius.
That's the point where he starting to see Loki as his equal.
@lastsaviour4916 I don't think he saw him as equal. I'm pretty sure he SET him on this path. Constructed all of this in a way for Loki to gain these abilities and made him sacrifice himself for the hard choices cuz he was tired of doing it. In a way Loki is somewhat an equal now. But HWR forced it upon him.
Loki was an absolute gem. Really hope we see more Loki in the MCU in the future.
They said this was his last mcu project
I don't. This is the perfect ending for his character. I want other MCU heroes to be developed
@@saavikabramov4230agreed
28:01 it gives us one of the very best shots and uses of imagery from the entire MCU, loveddd the extra touch with the branches of the tree being the literal branches of time
That final scene with Loki in the tree... I can't believe I'm crying again. The first season was awesome, and the second season blew the first one off the map.
Honestly props to kang doing an impression of someone doing an impression of a variant of himself
Hahahaha that is really good
That didn’t happen, Kang did the impression of a variant (Victor).
You’re incorporating Jonathan Majors but it’s still dumb- Majors was impersonating Kang who impersonated Timely who was impersonated by Majors, but that’s just dumb.
@@pooloftim8263 bad day today?
@@pooloftim8263 dang who hurt u
i’m sure Odin would be proud of seeing both his boys like this now.
they both finally understand what it means to have purpose.
Frigga too!
Also we saw that they didnt give the handbook to victor. But what happened to current one that helping them? They killed him?
31:46
@@zimknxckb4ck Exactly. That timeline should still be intact, so the Victor Timely we know should still exist.
@@proximashining776i’m a little confused too, so like does this mean that on the sacred timeline kang is defeated? is there a timeline where loki doesn’t win and he who remains still exists somewhere in time? i mean technically he does right? because there is a point in the past that he is there so what if allll of this is his plan?
The directors for this series deserves a raise🎉!
The reason that Loki can stop time is because his stand is the same type of stand as He who remains.
good one
I'm impressed at the character development of Loki, from seeking power and dominion by any means, to selfless sacrifice at the cost of himself, for others. He went from troublesome villain to one of the most important heroes in the MCU. Way to keep the MCU alive production team.
Yes! His character development was so throughly thought through. From villain to mercurial anti-hero to the most important hero of timelines, of stories. Everything we love about him and all knew he was capable of was played out perfectly. 💚
Can’t stop thinking about Odin’s quote, “All this because Loki desires a throne.” And then to see such bold rejection of that idea from Loki in the citadel, only for him to end up there anyway? Excellent poetic writing. Especially because that version of Loki would discover that what he thought of as his glorious purpose would become his greatest burden.
Reminds me of something one of my best friends told me a few years ago: When you no longer want something you desired is when you most deserve it.
Its only a small detail, but has anyone else noticed that at the end Mobius is sat in the booth at the TVA literally frozen when he's in the background. I enjoyed that detail. Literally showing us how whilst he's at the TVA he's frozen in time as a person, it looks unnatural and is a nice way of showing us he's ready to move on.
25:27 him literally creating his own path 👏🏾 this series, Loki's character and his arc honestly reflected my own life atm so I really felt a lot from it, I thank the whole team for such an amazing job
He deserves an Emmy for this
A shower thought I just had: Loki was confronted with the What, How, Why and Who and needed to understand them to fully understand the whole story, the big picture.
When Loki went ahead and learnt everything about time and physics, he understood the What and How.
When he finally confronted Kang, he understood the Why; it was all planned by Kang all along.
And when he finally talked to Mobius and Silvie, he finally understood Who he needed to be. Thus he understood the whole story, he could rewrite it. He became the God of Stories.
I agreed until the very last part. He doesn't write the timelines, he just holds oversees them and keeps them together
More as a Keeper of the multiverse
@@hareendrangangadharan6974 Yes, he rewrote the story so he ended up being the Keeper of the Multiverse.
This episode made me cry my eyes out. The plot was absolutely amazing and I understood it because of these wonderful videos. I love you guys so much and I hope you continue your passion of breaking down all of these movies and episodes.❤
Im completely satisfied if I don’t get season 3. They wrapped this perfectly to build on for other projects.
Loki might be experiencing all of the timelines in some way. So he might not be alone at all, but instead - he is with everybody.
Iam pretty sure he can at least project a copy of him on 1 timeline if he master concentrating on holding the branches long enough
Love this!
Burdened with Glorious Purpose. Incredible!!
@@carcas3dMaybe he doesnt even project himself, but takes the consciousness of the Loki within that Timeline. Being able to view infinite timelines at all time always, but can put his focus within certain ones.
@@dippin4dots well generally we have the same idea in mind I just use the word project just so even without Loki he can still insert himself
Hiddleston’s performance as Loki may be some of the most beautiful and immersive acting. For someone who was always a big Loki fan, I can’t imagine a better actor for the role.
true, him and RDJ as Tony Stark as well
I am sort of surprised it was never mentioned that Loki sort of looked shackled by the branches much like he is supposed to be chained in the cave where he awaits Ragnarok. It is certainly different but the visual is there to me.
This has felt like the end of an amazing journey. Excited to see the future of Loki and the TVA, and where the story goes from here.
"Time is an illusion." and it's beautiful to see that the character who creates illusions now controls time. So that was character development at its finest. And I found it funny that he always wanted the throne and now he's firmly attached to one. It's interesting to see his wish come true, but it comes with enormous responsibility. Sensational series finale. I hope Marvel continues to build their movies so well after the low point of the last few years.
It’s very clear lokis makers and team are the ones to carry the MCU .
"Most purpose is more burden than glory"
As it has began, so too does it end.
Reborn, knowing his duty.
Lok, the god of Stories, and the heart of Yggdrasil.
Magnificent story
@@darkneon5637 Glorious, even.
Beautiful
He's absolutely not the God of Stories. That appears to be common misinformation that people keep parroting. But people that actually read the comics, understand this not to be the case at all.
Loki is literally holding the MCU together.
Loki has been by far my favorite character as time has passed and we got to know him. Just an incredible character and the depth of meaning in this series as commentary on life on this planet as we know it today is just brilliant.
"You know you can't get to the end until you've been changed by the journey"
Loki was always destined to do this. What an arch this character has, truly amazing story telling.
The MCU needs to do more of this. Great writing. Great acting and beautiful VFX.
Ya it was geat
Nah
One of the best multiverse stories in all of tv/movie history
the cinematography and scene composition is also from another whole world here
loki is now one of my fav characters from mcu ever... i cried at this finale i truly hope we'd see him again
At first, I thought this was a bit anticlimactic, but allowing it to stu a bit, I’ve found that this Loki’s arc throughout this season has been pretty crazy. He has went from a serious big bad to, at least arguably, the most important character in all of the MCU, and I think that is 100 percent appropriate, and pretty special. Now I would’ve liked a scene of Victor working within the TVA to make it a little more interesting, but regardless, this has been a seriously great ride. Color me impressed.
Given all the Norse mythology in this series, I can’t believe none of us saw Yggdrasil coming. It’s a perfect finale for all of the “BRANCH” timelines.
One of the best things the mcu has ever done. I can't stop thinking about this episode! Felt so sad when it didn't say Loki will return in the credits. 😔
Now how are Thor and Loki reunite? Please 🙏Marvel tell us that Loki will return.
@chelsearunyan Well with Hemsworth allegedly taking an extended hiatus from acting, and with the ending and the lack of future teases in this episode, I'm honestly under the impression that they're done. At least for the foreseeable future. 😔
A glorious way to go out, if it is.
Loki may not "be" everywhere, but he IS everywhere. Watching and listening to everything
Nice recap! One thing I wish the series would have done is further explored the powerful connection of Loki and Sylvie. They made a point of showing how good they were together; having Loki go off on his own and pushing Sylvie to the side leaves a compelling potential storyline of the power of partnership go unexplored.
