When Victor started saying "Time to be brave. Time to be brave," and he wasn't stuttering, I got chills and thought "My goodness they're going to make him into a hero!" And then ..... Wow. Just wow. My jaw was on the floor in shock.
_Especially_ given how much the He Who Remains at "Wipe all their memories" was more like Timely (giving it actual thought & almost seeming to do so regrettably). 👨🏻🍳😙👌🏻
I'm glad they didn't show them getting crushed. That was Saw level dark. Also, Victor didn't time slip, he turned in spaghetti. OB mentioned that a few eps back.
In the scene with the telephone, the lights for all of the lines are lit, indicating that O.B. was calling every hardwired telephone in the TVA in hopes that Loki/Sylvie would be close enough to hear one of them ringing.
"I really really really like Victor..." That reaction was priceless. Totally worth the price of admission. I haven't laughed that hard in a long time. haha!
OB's comments about his model "not being to scale, not finished painting" has GOT to be a reference to Back to the Future (in which Doc Brown frequently made similar comments)
@@JiReyAnimation I'm a huge BTTF fan, and noticed the similarity immediately. Appropriate to use a quote from a timetravel franchise, in a tv-show heavily involving timetravel 🙂
They really couldn't have baited us any harder with that ending, oh my gosh. From the music, to the pacing, I was *fully* in and prepared for Victor to have a heroic moment, while potentially inadvertently "splitting" himself. Nope! I *screamed* when that happened hahaha, so good! They never fail to surprise with Loki. Truly some of Marvel's best.
This series probably has the most "headcount" of deaths of any MCU (or maybe any??) series or movie, not even close to Dr. Strange's incursion, even Thanos' snap. And this is not just the unseen timelines but even the up and close pruning and now getting "boxed!" Wow! This series is amazing, I might have to marathon run through the Season 1 & 2 to see the continuity! Also I believe Timely or at least that variant, is truly dead. He was "spaghetified," we even saw his rib cage and skull..
Yeah. The closest thing I can think of other than Dr. Strange and this, is Endgame and bringing people back from being snapped out of existence. Mind you, as we seen in Far From Home, people resumed what they were doing at the exact moment. Possibly giving The Avengers (mainly Hulk) one of the largest body counts known to man.
What’s interesting is that the spaghettification that OB warned about which happened to timely so closely resembles what Scarlet Witch did to Reed Richards in Multiverse of Madness. Makes you wonder how they’re connected.
I know they hinted at it, but I just didn’t think they would actually do it. And I’m not even mad. I think it was an awesome effect, it shocked the hell out of me.
12:30 I can't be the only one who noticed the "Back to the Future" reference by OB when he's talking about his model not being to scale. Too hilarious!
It kinda makes me feel old that none of these (younger) people seem to see BTTF as a cultural touchstone in the same way as I do. I personally thought the reference was VERY obvious - if anything a little too on the nose - and it staggers me that so many people didn’t get it at all! 😮
My thought is that now that the loom has disappeared, all possibilities exist in their own timeline, adjacent to each other or even intersecting. Victor spaghettifying I think signifies the creation of all the Kang variants.
This was exactly my thought too. My very first thought on watching it was that he was being unraveled into countless diverging threads just like the time stream. I don't think that the way they portrayed the effects of the radiation was a coincidence. I also think we just witnessed the creation of all the Kang variants.
It's interesting that at least 3 different reactors have had that EXACT same progression of "I like Victor" to abject horror as he spaghettied to being stunned to cursing that the ep was over. :)
As far as Timely's fate is concerned, I'm afraid that looked a lot more like the forewarned 'spaghetification' rather than the Time Slip we've seen before with Loki. That said, I hope they do manage to find a way to keep this version of Timely. I really liked him!
Interesting that was brought up in reference of black holes, unsure how they work irl but maybe what happens at the end is adapted from how travelling through a blackhole would do.
@@Aussie27Legend Some scientists theorize that black holes just spit the material out into another, new, fresh universe. For all we know dude got spaghettified, and is totally fine in some other Multiverse haha.
@@Aussie27Legend A black hole isn't a passage way, they are objects. You can no more travel through a black hole than you could travel through a planet, actually, less so since anything that passes a black hole's event horizon becomes part of the black hole for all eternity (well, until the black hole evaporates, but then it just comes back out as undifferentiated energy, not whatever it was when it went in). Spaghettification is caused by tidal forces which are when part of an object experiences greater gravity than another part. Tidal forces are, as the name suggests, what causes tides in the ocean and what causes one side of the moon to always face Earth (the near side of the Moon is closer to the Earth is heavier than the far side because it's closer and, therefore, experiences more gravity). Near a black hole, though, the tidal forces are so enormous, even on the scale of a person, that the part closer to the black hole will be pulled away from the farther part, stretching it out.
@@qrowingby “scientists” you meant “movie writers”, im sure. Hawkings radiation says absolutely nothing about random stuff just coming out of a black holes butt hole nor has it been theorized by anyone in the scientific community…
He Who (no longer) Remains did not say "Always," what he said to Miss Minutes was "All of them." Not just Renslayer but everyone who was part of the victory.
I think Victor's "death" was the origin of the Kangs in the MCU.. He got shredded into infinite numbers of himself, who got scattered across all of time and space. It's a feedback loop, a snake eating its own tail, an Ouroboros.
I feel like this is kinda of similar to Adventure Time’s lich where Victor Timely got split into every universe/dimension. I think this leads into there being a version of Kang everywhere/everytime
The way I think about it. It was O.B. He said himself from previous episodes, that he created that... he wrote a "book" on it. Since Victor got a copy of that book. Went back in his "time". As time passes on. O.B. was influence by Victor. Unknowingly it was himself!! B.O. was influence by Kinda like the second The Terminator film
that's true...but did you notice that Victor and Ouroborus shook hands? that's probably the closest that Kang/HWR ever got to doing a partnership. and look where that got them. 😐
Reminder that not all versions are evil as He Who Remains very heavily implied in s1e6 with "Not all versions of me were so....good" or something similar. Timely was 100% a hero, or else pretended to be scared when no one was watching, in that room before going into the radiation. Like, there's no way he knew he would be turned into spaghetti like that, even if that somehow spread himself across the multiverse (as people have theorized).
Another great episode and so completely unexpected what a gut punch, i cant wait to see next weeks reboot of the universe... i guess lol or is it a reboot of the TVA im not quite sure ahh, the series is so so good, thanks for the reaction.
Did anyone notice that when victor put his head in the machine it made the same sounds/words as in when the president in Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy had to use his id to activate the Infinite Probability Drive.
24:30 - “I really really really like Victor, I really want him to be good and on our side and make it out of this.” Me watching this after seeing the episode; 😳😬😑 That was awesome watching your reaction/emotional shift.
0:52 "She was really quick to tell Victor Timely she loved him." Miss Minutes is like a self-aware Replika AI. She'd say the L word to anyone that smiles in her direction.
Also, she can't tell Victor Timely and He Who Remains apart, the same way, that real life crazy fans can't tell a real actor apart from a fictional villain character they play on screen.
I love the way your brain works, when you recapped Victors death and just said "squiggles" I couldn't help but laugh. So for his death if you follow the same logic as doctor who when stepping into your own time stream you end up at all the key moments of your existence. Although O.B. mentioned spaghettification in an earlier episode, I think referring to the effect of a black hole on the body. I'll have to ho back and watch that episode.
This variant of Loki almost feels like he's in his afterlife, but in purgatory, working on himself so that one day he'll be worthy of reuniting with his family and friends in Valhalla.
In the mass murder scene, there is no reason to pan over because a person's imagination will provide a more gruesome outcome than anything that the set crew could provide. Thanks, Alfred Hitchcock.
I think Victor spaghettification is really him being send in all of the timelines creating all the kang variants. After all this is he who remains back up plan, so I doubt his plan just failed.
Do you remember in episode one when O.B. asked Mobius if he knew about being turned into spaghetti by a black hole? That was the setup for this payoff.
This episode really was phenomenal. I watched it when it came out, so I was with you in that whole... "Wait... what happens now?" place. The... last three episodes of this show all have their own season finale energy, and each finale feels different from the others. It's such a strange sensation and not something that I've ever experienced in a show like this.
IDK what the last two episodes hold, but I will say this: episode 4 of season one had us thinking Loki and Mobius were dead, and they weren't. I'm pretty sure we're going through the same thing now, only without the post credit scene that let us know Loki was alive. Having said that, when it comes to Victor Timely, I got nothing. No theories. No ideas. Looks like he met an untimely death. See what I did there?
Victor ded, Renslayer is clearly not dead (people have bad memories) just sent to... forgot the name but where Alioth is and I imagine the main crew is now scattered across time, I... hope sylvie still has that super-TemPad.
when we left off the previews episode i some what knew the next episode will be intense but not like this also loki prune himself make sense and the present loki answering the phone and the caller was O.B. (ouroboros - a snake swallowing its tail, which never disappear but perpetually change form in an eternal cycle of destruction and re-creation.)
So... Victor Timely appeared to go through the spagettification talked about earlier in the series & what happened to Mr. Fantastic (Reed Richards) in Dr. Strange & the Multiverse of Madness not the taffy effect that happened to Loki when he Time Slipped, but I am glad I heard your thoughts on it, because I had it locked in my thoughts as what it appeared to me & didn't leave the door open to it being a Time Slip.
Here’s an i teresting thought… the loom created a user specific universe or specific universes (think of them as DC, Fox ,Sony, MCU… and with the loom no longer dictating separate narratives we will get a mixed narrative going forward. This event is what removes the walls between the different creative studios. The other universes were always out there but they were kept from interacting to to separate evil entities controlling their individual ‘golden timelines’.
One must remember that time has always been around, eternally before the TVA existed and before the Temporal Loom was created to bring order to it. The Loom may have overloaded now, but it doesn't mean the end of time. Rather, it just means that nothing is left to artificially control time and it's now returned to its primal natural state of chaos. My theory is that the cast has now been scattered across the timelines (there's no way they'd be 100% killed off). Additionally, it's possible that Victor Timely's merely been thrown into a timeline where he was able to continue his R&D, ultimately creating the knowledge which eventually passes to OB, closing the loop.
Remember that Victor Timely was telling everyone at the World's Fair that the Temporal Loom was designed to convert raw time into "power" sufficient to operate the entire TVA. And when a "powerplant" overloads, things get very bad.
Always enjoy rewatching Marvel with you. I agree, these actors have been phenomenal all season. I think this series is showing that He who remains is a narcissistic user who doesn't share power or praise. This con man wipes the memories of those who serve him faithfully. I wouldn't be surprised if next episode revealed that Ms. R tames Alioth. Anyway, thanks for sharing again, blessings 🌹🙏🏾
OB has a memory longer than 400 years, 400 was just the last time OB saw Mobius. I just figured they didn't wipe OB's memory cus hes the one who's in charge of the technology, especially the loom, and that's info he needs to keep, plus hes sectioned off in his own quarters.
Timely was spaghettified. On the floor in front of the blast doors is a warning that says "...avoid Spaghettification." OB asked Loki if he had heard how when you get too close to a black hole you turn into spaghetti, and the less he knew about that the better.
It’s so funny how much so many people in the series are striving to protect “The Sacred Timeline” when it’s sacred for exactly ONE reason, and it was for one very self-serving reason.
Considering they turned off the no magic security program, I wonder if Loki could grab a time stone infinity stone from a desk because they use them as paperweights. And then perhaps he could use the time stone to remind far enough back to where there is much less radiation and you won't turn into spaghetti
Think the one prob is there's a line in season one that states they only work in their original universes or something. I don't think we are going back to the infinity stone well at this point.
The Sacred Timeline: The only timeline He Who Remains allowed to persist, pruning every branch, in order to prevent any other Kang's from being brought into being. Branch timelines: any time someone chooses any action which deviates from the Sacred Timeline a branch is created, which then must be pruned. This season, without HWR to decide what needs pruning, things have gotten out of hand.
It’s not necessarily about choosing what gets pruned. Everything gets pruned. Anything that isn’t the sacred timeline is pruned, now nothing is getting pruned
I loved the reaction. and It was a Great episode.... The Way i see it. Yea Victor was on the Sacred Timeline as a young Boy. Then as He had the TVA Manual dropped in his window. He became a Variant on a Branch. (So a Un-natural Event in time Will turn the Normal timeline into a Branch) And The TVA is in a Sort of Pocket Dimension out of the Normal Time stream. So OB Could have Learned (Many Temporal Mechanics from Studying Multiple Branch Timelines of ''Would be Geniuses '' Like a Branched '' Victor Timely'' (Who otherwise may have Just grown up as a highly intelligent Candlemaker? And may have Started an energy business in the early 20th century if not for the Cursed TVA Manual lol!) Its Possible that'' OB'' And ''He Who Remains/Kang'' Learned Many Principles Of Temporal Mechanics/Science From early Inventors. From Both Normal and Branched timelines. OB wont age at the TVA. And Kang Is from the 30th Century. So, they both can Look throughout the Past for what's come before. And Victor (I do not think he Time Slipped! At least not like Loki has. It seemed; He was Broken down With Temporal Radiation to just Billions of Particles....That Scattered into the Energy of raw time! But I am sure we will see him again or many other variants of Kang Very soon!)
It's not that multiple timelines are a problem. The problem is Victor Timely. He's the one who started a war between the timelines and he didn't want to share power, even with himself. So, as long as all the timelines are allowed to exist, Timely exists. And Timely starts a war that ends time.
I was just starting to like Brad, then he has to go and side with the evil, psychopathic AI. I think Victor knew whoever tried to fix the loom wasn't coming back and that's why he offered to go. He probably figured that, whatever happened next, Loki would be needed.
@21:49 @22:13 lol hahahahahahaha!!!!!! @23:26 in the words of CinemaWins, comeuppance. This is hands down the most satisfying moment in the entire show. She finally got a taste of her own medicine with a one-way ticket to the void.
When the group gets "cubed" it occurred to me that just hearing it but not seeing it was truly worse. Your own imagination filled in the blanks and depending on your imagination, how bad it was Mine was pretty grim
It will be interesting to see if Renslayer will be able to bypass the big monster in the Void that guards the entrance to the mansion. Or if she finds something else there to use. With so many timelines pruned nearly at the same time the void seems likely to be very full...
The problem with branched timelines is, according to Dr Strange etc, that incursions occur between timelines; they start to bleed into one another, creating chaos.
What if this sends him to the 31st century where Kang is from. Since he knows about timeslines now he reaches out to the other ones, but since they never explained the multiversal war it all starts back up.
you know, from OB's perspective, everyone's gonna die *right this instant* I mean, he's a bejillion years old.... "death in the next two hours" might as well be "right this instant"
Love how when Timeley is brought before Ravona and Mis Minutes You can see him go like "Oh Sh..... Okay, time to pivot and FAST!"
When Victor started saying "Time to be brave. Time to be brave," and he wasn't stuttering, I got chills and thought "My goodness they're going to make him into a hero!"
And then ..... Wow. Just wow. My jaw was on the floor in shock.
_Especially_ given how much the He Who Remains at "Wipe all their memories" was more like Timely (giving it actual thought & almost seeming to do so regrettably). 👨🏻🍳😙👌🏻
I wonder if Timely's "spaghettification" at the end was a nod to the Flash movie? Probably not, but you never know.
@kerouac.Jackson definitely not. I don't think they would gives nods to anything DC
@@kerouac.jackson no but i do think its a reference to episode 1 where O.B. talks about going through a black hole turns you into spaghetti
I'm glad they didn't show them getting crushed. That was Saw level dark.
Also, Victor didn't time slip, he turned in spaghetti. OB mentioned that a few eps back.
Seriously, this is arguably the darkest, bleakest thing Marvel has ever done. I absolutely *loved* this ep. What a swing
*Gamora getting thrown off a cliff to her death*

17:30 I can tell you what it looks like, they all look like Agent Strahm at the end of Saw 5 🤣
Here’s an i teresting thought… the loom created a user specific universe or specific universes (think of them as DC, Fox ,Sony, MCU… and with the loom no longer dictating separate narratives we will get a mixed narrative going forward. This event is what removes the walls between the different creative studios.
The other universes were always out there but they were kept from interacting to to separate evil entities controlling their individual ‘golden timelines’.
One must remember that time has always been around, eternally before the TVA existed and before the Temporal Loom was created to bring order to it. The Loom may have overloaded now, but it doesn't mean the end of time. Rather, it just means that nothing is left to artificially control time and it's now returned to its primal natural state of chaos. My theory is that the cast has now been scattered across the timelines (there's no way they'd be 100% killed off).
Additionally, it's possible that Victor Timely's merely been thrown into a timeline where he was able to continue his R&D, ultimately creating the knowledge which eventually passes to OB, closing the loop.
"Had to be me. Someone else might've gotten it wrong."
Remember that Victor Timely was telling everyone at the World's Fair that the Temporal Loom was designed to convert raw time into "power" sufficient to operate the entire TVA. And when a "powerplant" overloads, things get very bad.
Always enjoy rewatching Marvel with you. I agree, these actors have been phenomenal all season. I think this series is showing that He who remains is a narcissistic user who doesn't share power or praise. This con man wipes the memories of those who serve him faithfully. I wouldn't be surprised if next episode revealed that Ms. R tames Alioth. Anyway, thanks for sharing again, blessings 🌹🙏🏾
I think when Loki is walking down the hallway, he sees a security camera on the wall. That is how someone could see he is near a particular phone.
OB has a memory longer than 400 years, 400 was just the last time OB saw Mobius. I just figured they didn't wipe OB's memory cus hes the one who's in charge of the technology, especially the loom, and that's info he needs to keep, plus hes sectioned off in his own quarters.
Timely was spaghettified. On the floor in front of the blast doors is a warning that says "...avoid Spaghettification." OB asked Loki if he had heard how when you get too close to a black hole you turn into spaghetti, and the less he knew about that the better.
It’s so funny how much so many people in the series are striving to protect “The Sacred Timeline” when it’s sacred for exactly ONE reason, and it was for one very self-serving reason.
The reason He Who Remains created the TVA to prune the timelines is to prevent the branch timelines that create the variant Kangs/He Who Remains.
Considering they turned off the no magic security program, I wonder if Loki could grab a time stone infinity stone from a desk because they use them as paperweights. And then perhaps he could use the time stone to remind far enough back to where there is much less radiation and you won't turn into spaghetti
My theory is that the temporal loom exploding is a massive pruning so now all of existence is in The Void. BUT I LIKE your idea!
I like this theory 👌
@@dresdenwarlock7978 not the MCU can't be destroyed maybe the tva will be destroyed and Loki and his squad will spawn on the timelines maybe!
What if Loki time slipped last second?
Think the one prob is there's a line in season one that states they only work in their original universes or something. I don't think we are going back to the infinity stone well at this point.
Loki and Mobius give us the laughs but OB is the heart of this show, protect him at all costs.
I do love when O.B. gives Miss Minutes the "HAL 9000 treatment."
Great reaction
New rockstar does easter eggs and predictions on loki plus starwars and he says the hot coco and key lime pie are made from the people crushed😳
Ouroborus checks in with Miss Minutes every 400 years or so.
He has also been there for eons like Ravona and He Who…
The Sacred Timeline:
The only timeline He Who Remains allowed to persist, pruning every branch, in order to prevent any other Kang's from being brought into being.
Branch timelines: any time someone chooses any action which deviates from the Sacred Timeline a branch is created, which then must be pruned.
This season, without HWR to decide what needs pruning, things have gotten out of hand.
It’s not necessarily about choosing what gets pruned. Everything gets pruned. Anything that isn’t the sacred timeline is pruned, now nothing is getting pruned
Oh the crazy is just beginning..just hold on
R.I.P Victor Timely. You will be missed and we are sorry that we didn’t get to know you more.
I loved the reaction. and It was a Great episode....
The Way i see it.
Yea Victor was on the Sacred Timeline as a young Boy. Then as He had the TVA Manual dropped in his window. He became a Variant on a Branch. (So a Un-natural Event in time Will turn the Normal timeline into a Branch)
And The TVA is in a Sort of Pocket Dimension out of the Normal Time stream. So OB Could have Learned (Many Temporal Mechanics from Studying Multiple Branch Timelines of ''Would be Geniuses '' Like a Branched '' Victor Timely'' (Who otherwise may have Just grown up as a highly intelligent Candlemaker? And may have Started an energy business in the early 20th century if not for the Cursed TVA Manual lol!)
Its Possible that'' OB'' And ''He Who Remains/Kang'' Learned Many Principles Of Temporal Mechanics/Science From early Inventors. From Both Normal and Branched timelines.
OB wont age at the TVA.
And Kang Is from the 30th Century. So, they both can Look throughout the Past for what's come before.
And Victor (I do not think he Time Slipped! At least not like Loki has. It seemed; He was Broken down With Temporal Radiation to just Billions of Particles....That Scattered into the Energy of raw time! But I am sure we will see him again or many other variants of Kang Very soon!)
Whole episode was awesome!!! That ending drove me mad
That wasn't a major time slippage. It was the spaghetti that Mobius was complaining about he didn't want to turn into.
It's not that multiple timelines are a problem. The problem is Victor Timely. He's the one who started a war between the timelines and he didn't want to share power, even with himself. So, as long as all the timelines are allowed to exist, Timely exists. And Timely starts a war that ends time.
I'm pretty sure everyone ends up in the void when they're pruned. Time-slipping Loki was an exception because they pulled him out with that device.
They just didn’t seem to be a lot of people there… Right? It seemed very empty.
@@funnylilgalreacts Alioth probably got a lot of them. 🤷♂️
Also it's probably just a huge or even infinite place. If it's big enough, even with billions people it will look empty
I was just starting to like Brad, then he has to go and side with the evil, psychopathic AI.
I think Victor knew whoever tried to fix the loom wasn't coming back and that's why he offered to go. He probably figured that, whatever happened next, Loki would be needed.
The answer to the universe is 42, and now we know why Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy said just that.
@21:49 @22:13 lol hahahahahahaha!!!!!!
@23:26 in the words of CinemaWins, comeuppance. This is hands down the most satisfying moment in the entire show. She finally got a taste of her own medicine with a one-way ticket to the void.
Hah! Who will save that bitch now?😈
Does anyone here want some spaghetti? Victor made a huge plate for us
When the group gets "cubed" it occurred to me that just hearing it but not seeing it was truly worse. Your own imagination filled in the blanks and depending on your imagination, how bad it was
Mine was pretty grim
Behold the MCU has been rebooted!
What if Victor getting Spaghettified in the presence of all of the branches is what places all the copies of Kang in every dimension/branch?
when you're pruned you go to the end of time. I suspect Renslayer will tell alioth to 'heel"
miss minutes is my favorite character of all time
Squiggles! 🤣
It will be interesting to see if Renslayer will be able to bypass the big monster in the Void that guards the entrance to the mansion. Or if she finds something else there to use. With so many timelines pruned nearly at the same time the void seems likely to be very full...
24:47 love it 🤠
Everyone goes to the end of time when pruned.
The problem with branched timelines is, according to Dr Strange etc, that incursions occur between timelines; they start to bleed into one another, creating chaos.
15:12 Mature Loki! 🥵🔥
Remember, the Victor Timely we saw is not the only one.
Spaghettification. That's what OB warned about in episode one.
Same thing happened to one of the Ant-Man variants in Quantummania.
17:46 Imagine a 1'x1'x1' cube of flesh.
What if this sends him to the 31st century where Kang is from. Since he knows about timeslines now he reaches out to the other ones, but since they never explained the multiversal war it all starts back up.
you know, from OB's perspective, everyone's gonna die *right this instant*
I mean, he's a bejillion years old.... "death in the next two hours" might as well be "right this instant"
It's been a long time since I've seen somebody's heart get ripped out so violently in real time.
