@@asrafulnazrin4943jk Loki let Sylvia kill him like she always has and then he finds a way to break the cycle by letting Sylvia do her thing and for him to be the one to control the timeline
This finale left me flabergasted and amazed and devastated. He found a way to let Sylvie kill Kang to allow for free will while shouldering the burden of the consequences. He couldn't kill her, but he couldn't let the branches die. Knowing that there's at least a task force keeping an eye out for Kang variants is really comforting, but we'll see how things go as we get closer to Kang Dynasty.
The TVA is a very strong and I mean very strong bandaid the real task force will gather as we get closer to the saga finale and leading that task force will be marvels first family.
Kang's version of the multiverse has 99.999999999% less life than Loki's. Remember, every single branch of a timeline has trillions of people living on it. Loki's existence will be miserable, but what he has done is the single most heroic act in quite possibly any superhero story ever. Agree though that the story is wrapped up. IMO there shouldn't be a Season 3.
Agreed. At this point I like the idea of "ok, let's give this free will thing a try. If it means everything ends anyways. It's in the hands of literal time."
I was rewatching Thor Ragnarok yesterday. And at some point Thor tells Loki, "You are the God of mischief. But you could be so much more." Now, I am just sitting with a heavy heart, thinking about the fact that how Thor doesn’t know how much more than just a trickster, Loki became a literal guardian, a watcher. And above all, how did he sacrifice himself❤
I love Sylvie’s line “Who are you to say we can’t die trying? Who are you to decide we can’t die fighting?” That’s the free will she keeps fighting for, and the conclusion Loki arrived at in that moment. He’s giving them a chance. The chance to fight for a better future than what He Who Remains decided for them.
U r right -that was beautiful! He knows it won't fix/hold forever but he's giving humanity (and probably Avengers to come) a chance. Great point, I think some missed that.
Loki sitting there at the end of time holding all the timelines together BY HAND. Absolutely insane way to end this season. Excited to see how Kang Dynasty plays into this.

"burdened with glorious purpose", love how Loki realises that purpose is more burden than glory and he accepts his true purpose at the end, ultimately he is the God of the story
I think that Loki's reaction at the end of the episode, the knowing, loving smile, was him seeing Mobius. I think Loki is the opposite of alone. I think he is now in relationship to everything and everyone in every time line that goes through him. So I feel that he got exactly what he was looking for.
The show ended with Loki's fate quite enigmatically mysterious and open to interpretation. But yeah, my idea is that he must find himself at peace with this new state of being, for the sake of life itself.

I think at this point I can officially say Loki has passed Daredevil as my favorite Marvel show ever. It might be the best production overall, movies included. This is now two finales that I’d argue are the two greatest hours in the mcu.
Loki grabbing the "threads" of the timelines, it was practically metaphorical of Loki finally taking control of his own fate but also not seeming to interfere with the fates of others. With such control over the timelines, you got to imagine that he can probably try to pull a Luke Skywalker and astral project himself into any and all timelines, wherever/whenever, he desires.
The difference is Selflessness vs. Selfishness. Kang was HWR to further his desire to WIN over all the other Kangs. He prune to remain in power. Whereas Loki sacrificed himself through the biggest selfless act to allow his friends to live and have free will. It's so heartbreaking. All he wanted was to not be alone, and now he is eternally alone. Every time I think about it I get teary-eyed.
Well, not really. He can see into the timelines, so he's probably "with" his friends in spirit, at least the ones that are in timelines. He can't see into the TVA I don't think.
My takeaways: -Loki and Time Stone both share a similar shade of green seems oddly appropriate now -Odin served a period of purgatory within Yggdrasil, so Loki is on a similar but more selfless path now -The void seemed much more empty now, pyramid being a likely attempt to end Ramatut Kang, but the rest of the void being empty either indicates that Smokedog has been eating well or that this is a new Void due to time has been reorganized. I think Renslayer now tames her smokedemon/langoleir and becomes the proper midboss of Kang Dynasty or twist of Battleworld.
Loki is LITERALLY holding the MCU together now 😅… and YES, it’s free will bc it’s a TREE with living, growing branches. 10/10 and beyond. Blew me away. (The music OMGGG)
I love that everyone’s tone in this episode is super bummed. Because I felt like all was lost when the show ended. It sticks with you. There’s something beautiful about Loki learning he didn’t want to be alone and then sacrificing it for the greater good of free will, because Sylive kept pushing him to be better and find the harder solution.
Maude missed it - he was given the trolley problem: kill silvie to let HWR live and preserve the sacred timeline, or keep Sylvie alive but that always ends with the entire universe crumbling. HWR was sure he'd eventually kill Sylvie. But instead he found a third way which was to let Sylvie kill HWR but then take over himselve as the one to allow all of the infinite timelines (free will) to exist
@franjaime200 I don't get how she couldn't understand the importance or point of Loki's choice. He who remains wanted 1 timeline and pruned all the others while loki isn't doing that. He's giving everyone a choice to live freely so yeah its worth it. She's annoying
I was thinking of how OP Loki was in the last episode when he could finally control his time-slipping. And I wondered how Marvel would deal with having a character with such godly powers. This finale answered it really brilliantly. What an episode, what a season, what a character. 100% best MCU show on Disney+!
@@aenimtz47he chose to be alone though, so they can all live and that is his big character development. He stops being greedy and self fulfilling, and instead burdens and sacrifices his freedom so there can be free will and he can see and know all his friends live and are okay making him self less. He was more depressed and devastated knowing they would be wiped out of time and reality eventually. Atleast now he embraces being alone because he chose his burden as his glorious purpose as the god of life and stories! Amazing ending
it actually made me incredibly sad. I sat here thinking about it for a good 45 min. and I just started crying from how he is alone able to touch and hear them but not really be there with them only in thought of others wanting him to be there. I am left feeling nothing but deep deep sadness like we just lost Loki again. only to know hes alive but hes alone.
@ZyliceLiddell what about thor. He literally has friends and can hangout wit them but loki can only hear them but cant interact with them as he's the loom holding out the branches
I think Tom Hiddleston's input to the show (not just his acting) made all the difference. He knows his character and backstory and he is also a big Marvel fan. In fact, come to think of it, he would be the logical replacement for Kevin Feige!
Toms Dedication and Passion to Marvel and Loki Not to mention he’s basically a walking encyclopaedia for Marvel who explained the *ENTIRE* Marvel universe to the cast and crew and even went to Owen’s house to show him power point presentations not to mentioned that he also had input as to which music tracks were in each scenes! He *DEFINITELY* deserves it! He is one of Marvel’s ‘Fathers’ at this point! And since Kevin Feige likes him so much he’d probably gladly hand the mantle over to him! 🥹💚🙌 - He watched the movies since the beginning and loved them. - He read all the comics as he was growing up. - He held multi-day long ‘Loki’ & ‘Marvel’ lectures for the entire cast and crew even going to Owen’s house several days in a row to help him prepare for his role as ‘Mobius.’ - He learnt Norwegian and sang in it as well as study Norse lore to prepare for his role in the first Thor movie. - He asked the composer, Natalie Holt to put certain music tracks into particular scenes - The President of Marvel Kevin Feige let him take over from Michael Waldron as ‘special executive producer’ since he has such passion and knowledge of Marvel!
@@ZyliceLiddell This makes sense now. Kevin Feige recently got the promotion where he controls not only the movies and shows, but also the written comics! Allegedly, one of the recent comics teased a bit about Loki being in control. I'm excited for the future of the MCU.
Omg that ending makes so. Much. Sense. His glorious purpose is to lose for the greater good. I mean he did finally get to ascend to a throne but he also had to be alone. In episode 5 he learned that it's not "what", it's "who". In that episode, it meant, he realized what he wanted was friends. In episode 6, that took on a whole new meaning in that its not the loom (the what) that will save everything, its Loki (the who)
I would add that episode 6 also shows what it means for Loki to be the god of mischief. He rebels relentlessly against giving He who Remains what he wants and ends up destroying the loom, which wrecks his plan completely. All of which could only been done because of the power he wielded.
616 adjacent realm. The Quantum Realm. Which I thought “Realm” meant only 1 existed throughout all the multiverse. But this proves not. So there ARE multiple Val Hala, Dark Dimension, etc. so that’s cool. Also, now I’m leaning into that Kang being “pruned” as we saw Renslayer was pruned and we know she and A variant ended up controling Alioth to win the war
I find it interesting that Mobius told Loki the answer to saving everything by telling him, "I need a Loki who Remains." Ironically, Loki realized that was the answer and had to choose this burden.
This episode brings so much pain to me. That ending is painful, but I love it and I hate it. I literally cried. BEST MCU SHOW SO FAR. I believe for the Season 3. Manifesting.
It's sad... especially after Loki said he didn't want to be alone. It probably won't happen cause he's holding the timelines together, but I'm still hoping for a Thor & Loki reunion... or at the very least I hope Thor finds out about Loki's sacrifice.
Well put. Came to say exactly that when they say they would have killed Sylvie in a heartbeat. And that no season 3. Bruh season 3 is TVA hunting down dangerous Kang variants, maybe enlist another Loki.
@@sololay3861 My guess is Kid Loki since his Nexus was Killing Thor, maybe he would have the knowhow with Killing Kangs. Then him and Nate Richards join the Young Avengers against the Kangs they couldn't kill. The Dynasty of Kangs
The more I think about it, the more it's shown to me that loki has the most poetic and deep story out of anyone in the mcu or its multiverse. The fact that we got to watch 2 different stories of loki growing as a character in completely different scenarios is amazing because they really nailed the character progression in both. That is true creative talent in my opinion. This type of storytelling and how poetic it is reminds me of the depth that a lot of classic literature has. I really enjoyed this show.
Maude's face at the opening of the video says everything you need to know about this finale. Thank you all so much for the amazing coverage and content!
This was an amazing finale. I like when he explained to Sylvie that the loom was a failsafe and she's like "of course" because in hindsight it makes perfect sense. I was thinking the same thing. And of course he had to break the loom, because there needs to be a multiversal war. I think the TVA's job now is generally "Time Cops" - policing people who would mess with the timelines - For example, causing incursions to kill off branches. And anything that any Kang is doing likely falls under that jurisdiction. It would be great if they could end up coordinating with What If's Multiversal Avengers (basically the SHIELD of the multiverse?)
Agreed! What makes this exciting is that the TVA might have a warrant for another/a new targets... Dr. Strange, report to the principal's office. Bring Wanda, Cable, and Ultron Prime with you.
I loved this episode. Devastating, but brilliant. I hope we get another season. Agreed though that if we don’t we probably won’t see Loki again until the next two Avengers movies. I’m gunna miss him, by far the best character in the MCU. 😭💚
This is the best fiction ever created! The feeling I felt watching this series is something I have never felt before, It unlocked a whole new feeling in me and I can now see the ultimate purpose in a whole new way that I never thought was possible before. Thank you Marvel.
I just don't understand Maude's logic about keeping the Sacred Timeline. The show made it very clear that pruning timelines is killing all those people and beings that could have existed throughout all of time. Pruning those timelines is essentially genocide. And she's ok with that? He sacrificed himself so that others may live. He also wanted to give the multiverse a chance to defeat Kang in the forseen Multiversal War. Saving everyone through all of time is pretty damn worth it to me.
The idea is to prune them before they develop into full branches, which is why the red lines were on the monitor. So if pruned in time those people never existed.
I'm sure live-chat covered this but Loki turned into both the God of Stories and Yggdrasil (The World Tree). Yggdrasil's branches and roots connect to every plane or in this instance, the multiverse.multivariate. Also loved this season and think Loki Season 1 & 2 is my favorite MCU content over everything else.
I just saw the marvels and came home to watch the finale, what an amazing hour of film. Truly historical. F**king perfect. The marvels was a lot of fun too!!!
Just a thought for Maude. Just cause you saw Loki holding the tree, doesn't mean he needs to be there all the time. Kang could move around, Loki is a god, so maybe the just represented his burden. Not his existence.
He is literally the loom holding it together, if he let goes, all the timelines will die, although... He could project himself, as he did in the mcu but his physical body is stuck there for the foreseeable future
It is possible. That Loki in being the timekeeper is now kind of a narrator. Keeper of all the stories on all the timelines. And it may be Loki's mind/presence is seeing or living through every branch. Not alone. But omnipresent.
I can’t possibly understand how you could think Kang was doing a good job by actively pruning and destroying universes. Like, this entire season was about how pruning and murdering these timelines was objectively a terrible thing to do lmfao. And one of the writers of the show stated that they don’t have any plans to do a season 3, which makes absolute sense
The finale was amazing. It's a tearjerker honestly. It starts fast but slows down with some heartfelt scenes. It looks to bring Rama-Tut as that looks to be where young Nathaniel Richards could have lead himself evading Loki who is becoming God of stories right before our eyes as I'm quite aware that Loki knows that throne he has is just for moments so He Who Remains can devise a plain as the throne sit in the slash that He Who Remains seemed to have created in their conversation at the end of time a huge war is about to begin between the two
It's amazing how 1 episode can change an opinion about an entire broadcast station Disney is a children's channel but children do grow and mature and that's what I seen in the Loki character even if he returns to being mischievous because who would really say that he saved every life that exist at one time. I give it a 10 of 10 Such an emotional character Loki his propensity to experience and express those feelings that create connection in MCU's dire time of that need viewers connection Bravo! To everyone involved with Marvel it all ties in.
What a finale! The tree 💚 !! I still need more Loki! I’d absolutely want a season 3. Still more to explore. Mobius may go back to the TVA after seeing his other self. Where would he start over? What’s Sylvie really going to do? Ravonna and her backstory of being used by Kang, then ending up in the void. If she helped Kang, She might know how to tame alioth from her temporal aura/subconscious memories (although wiped). And Loki all alone - my heart hurt seeing that! Gimme a three!
Loki got the depth and epic journey that I wish they would have given to the Wanda. Imagine Wanda travelling to her roots to meet Cython and realise why she was destined to rule everything, instead she turned into a surface level villain used for shock factor in MoM. Well done to the Loki writers for this phenomenal story!
I can assume this is Tom's exit. The way Endgame was for RDJr, Evans and Scarlett. Brilliant episode. Liked the new theme song. Marvel will need these writers for future projects.
I don't think the Rennslayer scene was setting up any sort of comeback for her. If anything, I think we were being shown her demise. It looked and sounded like Alioth was approaching her to devour her and fully erase her from existence.
Nah, I think she landed in timeline in Ancient Egypt with Pharaoh Kang cuz of the pyramid in the background. Cuz it seemed to me that there were no more pruned timelines and that all the timelines had been rejuvenated.
@@struggleskywalker1025nah, I doubt it. There was a pyramid (or a sphinx at least) in the void in season 1, and there was also that tablet in the grass that looks like the TVA. I think if there's going to be a season 3, it'll be another loki (Kid Loki?) and Renslayer perhaps teaming up to get up to mischief in the void (kid loki was king of the void afterall). It'd be an interesting spin off!
I like the idea of them making Loki a mixture of Loki Prime and the God of stories like this. That also leaves it open for them to use a season 3 to build up the Avenger tower at the end of time to be ready for the final battle in Secret Wars. They could also use it to set up Loki grabbing the frozen moments in time to preserve like they did in the comics. Running with that could go either really or incredibly badly but does allow for the individual story moments that can link all the MCU through Loki.
Something to recall, Loki took responsibility to act like a real god. And being the master of time finally, every time you saw him put his green energy into a timeline, he was actually diving into that timeline and interacting with it to nurture the timeline. Then upon return, he moved on to the next strand. So you'll see him pop into stories in the future in some way. And of course, even though he's popped in and out of the branches, he's always in the overworld, he's "always there for all time" but also in every timeline as well.
I want to believe after Loki turned into a tree of life he sent Jane foster to Valhalla so when Thor dies he will get everything back and won’t be alone after death
I think I agree with Maud that there isn't much room for a season 3. They have put these characters in the PERFECT position to be picked back up with in future movies, like Kang Dynasty etc. I mean if anyone should show up It's obviously Loki. Our heroes will have to find him as part of their quest in the big final battle. But, sad as it makes me, this does feel like excellent end of this specific story. MCU narrative logic hopefully means their stories will pick up in other movies, but a season 3 might be a drag. This is a set up for more than a TV show, if that makes sense.
Agreed on her for that part too. This season put Loki on his Prime no more development there, he was on his peak now if they make a season 3 they will destroy what they build here. But for the continuation of the story of the other character probably will be on another show maybe TVA own series or something.
They could go real crazy and bring it full circle. The murals at the TVA showed the time keepers trimming a tree. Season one was the end and season 2 was the beginning. Now comes the war with Renslayer and Kang taking over again and the whole thing repeating over again.
What an episode. What a finale. What a character arc. MCU at its best.

With such control over the timelines, you got to imagine that he can probably try to pull a Luke Skywalker and astral project himself into any and all timelines, wherever/whenever, he desires.
When Loki took the throne all I could see is him holding the world up like Atlas, burdened forever.
Because, in Loki's own words, he is burdened with glorious purpose. And it is indeed GLORIOUS, holding up and fostering the multiverse.
Better than Atlas though. And definitely glorious. He can hear and see through all timelines in his all and prime divine form.

Whereas Loki sacrificed himself through the biggest selfless act to allow his friends to live and have free will. It's so heartbreaking. All he wanted was to not be alone, and now he is eternally alone. Every time I think about it I get teary-eyed.
Well, not really. He can see into the timelines, so he's probably "with" his friends in spirit, at least the ones that are in timelines. He can't see into the TVA I don't think.
The imagery of Yggdrasil made me tear up, and the flashbacks to signs with the tree gave me chills. Truly beautiful work.
Same
He created the WORLD TREE that Thor showed to Jane! 😭
My takeaways:
-Loki and Time Stone both share a similar shade of green seems oddly appropriate now
-Odin served a period of purgatory within Yggdrasil, so Loki is on a similar but more selfless path now
-The void seemed much more empty now, pyramid being a likely attempt to end Ramatut Kang, but the rest of the void being empty either indicates that Smokedog has been eating well or that this is a new Void due to time has been reorganized. I think Renslayer now tames her smokedemon/langoleir and becomes the proper midboss of Kang Dynasty or twist of Battleworld.
@yoliza1212 yeah it was like 4am and memory was shot
Smokedog = Alioth btw
Loki is LITERALLY holding the MCU together now 😅…
and YES, it’s free will bc it’s a TREE with living, growing branches.
10/10 and beyond. Blew me away. (The music OMGGG)
The only sad things in this episode is there's no *“Loki will return”* in the post credit scene 💔
no mid and post credit scenes to be exact
I think he's gonna be in the up and coming two avengers films or one of the avengers at least
Loki gets his throne but as a Guardian, not a ruler....
Its a honoured sacrifice, not an entitlement...
From Thor (1) to this Finale...amazing arc!!!!
I love that everyone’s tone in this episode is super bummed. Because I felt like all was lost when the show ended. It sticks with you. There’s something beautiful about Loki learning he didn’t want to be alone and then sacrificing it for the greater good of free will, because Sylive kept pushing him to be better and find the harder solution.
Maude missed it - he was given the trolley problem: kill silvie to let HWR live and preserve the sacred timeline, or keep Sylvie alive but that always ends with the entire universe crumbling. HWR was sure he'd eventually kill Sylvie. But instead he found a third way which was to let Sylvie kill HWR but then take over himselve as the one to allow all of the infinite timelines (free will) to exist
Yeah she honestly made this video hard to watch, like what was the point of having her on?
@@dr.rockso2703 I can't stand her.
@@dr.rockso2703 I'd say if there's a Loki season 3, it would focus on Sylvie instead.
@franjaime200 I don't get how she couldn't understand the importance or point of Loki's choice. He who remains wanted 1 timeline and pruned all the others while loki isn't doing that. He's giving everyone a choice to live freely so yeah its worth it. She's annoying
@@relaxedclaw right? I was like, did you not watch all of season 1 and 2? How did you not understand his sacrifice and character growth?
I was thinking of how OP Loki was in the last episode when he could finally control his time-slipping. And I wondered how Marvel would deal with having a character with such godly powers. This finale answered it really brilliantly.
What an episode, what a season, what a character. 100% best MCU show on Disney+!
This doesn't need a season 3. It ended perfectly to fit the character. Tom Hiddleston and Johnathan Majors and the rest of the cast were incredible.
Agreed, no season 3 but maybe a stand alone movie. Hell, I’d settle for simple cameos from time to time
Yup this has IMO set up the multiverse saga perfectly. Now can see Reed Richards figuring out how to stabilize or create a loom and free Loki.
Yeah, agreed
Loki isn't alone he could hear Mobius. He can hear and see everything now.
But he’s not IN it. He’s alone…. Like we can watch the MCU, but we can’t be IN the MCU….
@@aenimtz47he chose to be alone though, so they can all live and that is his big character development. He stops being greedy and self fulfilling, and instead burdens and sacrifices his freedom so there can be free will and he can see and know all his friends live and are okay making him self less. He was more depressed and devastated knowing they would be wiped out of time and reality eventually. Atleast now he embraces being alone because he chose his burden as his glorious purpose as the god of life and stories! Amazing ending
The true He Who Remains
@@aenimtz47 He's only physically alone. Mentally, he's literally everywhere and anywhere he wants to be.
@@danielcancel2901 I didn’t say he didn’t choose to be alone… and that doesn’t change my point…
it actually made me incredibly sad. I sat here thinking about it for a good 45 min. and I just started crying from how he is alone able to touch and hear them but not really be there with them only in thought of others wanting him to be there. I am left feeling nothing but deep deep sadness like we just lost Loki again. only to know hes alive but hes alone.
SAME😭😭😭
Exactly my same feeling. At the end his look made me emotional and wanted me to cry
🥺🥺🥺😭😭😭😭😭
What about THOR?! 😭
@ZyliceLiddell what about thor. He literally has friends and can hangout wit them but loki can only hear them but cant interact with them as he's the loom holding out the branches
I literally CRIED when he finally found his glorious purpose
But doesn’t it the same as the movie of Stephen Chow’s A Chinese Odyssey Part Two: Cinderella?
I think Tom Hiddleston's input to the show (not just his acting) made all the difference.
He knows his character and backstory and he is also a big Marvel fan.
In fact, come to think of it, he would be the logical replacement for Kevin Feige!
He also coproduced it
Toms Dedication and Passion to Marvel and Loki
Not to mention he’s basically a walking encyclopaedia for Marvel who explained the *ENTIRE* Marvel universe to the cast and crew and even went to Owen’s house to show him power point presentations not to mentioned that he also had input as to which music tracks were in each scenes! He *DEFINITELY* deserves it! He is one of Marvel’s ‘Fathers’ at this point! And since Kevin Feige likes him so much he’d probably gladly hand the mantle over to him! 🥹💚🙌
- He watched the movies since the beginning and loved them.
- He read all the comics as he was growing up.
- He held multi-day long ‘Loki’ & ‘Marvel’ lectures for the entire cast and crew even going to Owen’s house several days in a row to help him prepare for his role as ‘Mobius.’
- He learnt Norwegian and sang in it as well as study Norse lore to prepare for his role in the first Thor movie.
- He asked the composer, Natalie Holt to put certain music tracks into particular scenes
- The President of Marvel Kevin Feige let him take over from Michael Waldron as ‘special executive producer’ since he has such passion and knowledge of Marvel!
@@ZyliceLiddell This makes sense now. Kevin Feige recently got the promotion where he controls not only the movies and shows, but also the written comics! Allegedly, one of the recent comics teased a bit about Loki being in control. I'm excited for the future of the MCU.
Hiddelston's wife played Dara Ben in The Marvels.
Omg that ending makes so. Much. Sense. His glorious purpose is to lose for the greater good. I mean he did finally get to ascend to a throne but he also had to be alone.
In episode 5 he learned that it's not "what", it's "who". In that episode, it meant, he realized what he wanted was friends. In episode 6, that took on a whole new meaning in that its not the loom (the what) that will save everything, its Loki (the who)
I would add that episode 6 also shows what it means for Loki to be the god of mischief. He rebels relentlessly against giving He who Remains what he wants and ends up destroying the loom, which wrecks his plan completely. All of which could only been done because of the power he wielded.
B15 and Mobius mentioned Kang from Antman 3. They said a 616 adjacent Kang got destroyed.
"Was taken care of"
616 adjacent realm. The Quantum Realm. Which I thought “Realm” meant only 1 existed throughout all the multiverse. But this proves not. So there ARE multiple Val Hala, Dark Dimension, etc. so that’s cool.
Also, now I’m leaning into that Kang being “pruned” as we saw Renslayer was pruned and we know she and A variant ended up controling Alioth to win the war
Both S1E1 and S2E6 are titled "Glorious Purpose"... Ouroboros
when loki changed outta that suit i was freaking out, i forgot what he looked like with his horns.
I find it interesting that Mobius told Loki the answer to saving everything by telling him, "I need a Loki who Remains." Ironically, Loki realized that was the answer and had to choose this burden.
I loved the symbolism of Loki with the branches looking like Yggdrasil the great tree
This episode brings so much pain to me. That ending is painful, but I love it and I hate it. I literally cried. BEST MCU SHOW SO FAR. I believe for the Season 3. Manifesting.
I’ve been an hour since I watched it and my mouth is still wide open
Dude.. same here. I’m still having a hard time absorbing it all.
It's sad... especially after Loki said he didn't want to be alone. It probably won't happen cause he's holding the timelines together, but I'm still hoping for a Thor & Loki reunion... or at the very least I hope Thor finds out about Loki's sacrifice.
Or Loki hears Thor! 😭
Instead of having the TVA prune billions in each timeline to let one Kang live, Loki chose to have the TVA prune Kangs to let Sylvie live.
Setting up Secret wars, absolutely brilliant show. Marvel back on form
Well put. Came to say exactly that when they say they would have killed Sylvie in a heartbeat. And that no season 3. Bruh season 3 is TVA hunting down dangerous Kang variants, maybe enlist another Loki.
@@sololay3861 My guess is Kid Loki since his Nexus was Killing Thor, maybe he would have the knowhow with Killing Kangs. Then him and Nate Richards join the Young Avengers against the Kangs they couldn't kill. The Dynasty of Kangs
Ohhhh woooow ! This is incredible. You are a genius my friend, what a thought! I didn't realize that :D
The more I think about it, the more it's shown to me that loki has the most poetic and deep story out of anyone in the mcu or its multiverse. The fact that we got to watch 2 different stories of loki growing as a character in completely different scenarios is amazing because they really nailed the character progression in both. That is true creative talent in my opinion. This type of storytelling and how poetic it is reminds me of the depth that a lot of classic literature has. I really enjoyed this show.
His cape being stranded timelines was a cool design
I hope one day we get to see our Thor meet this Loki. He’d be proud.
And jealous 😂😂
Maude's face at the opening of the video says everything you need to know about this finale. Thank you all so much for the amazing coverage and content!
This was an amazing finale.
I like when he explained to Sylvie that the loom was a failsafe and she's like "of course" because in hindsight it makes perfect sense. I was thinking the same thing.
And of course he had to break the loom, because there needs to be a multiversal war.
I think the TVA's job now is generally "Time Cops" - policing people who would mess with the timelines - For example, causing incursions to kill off branches. And anything that any Kang is doing likely falls under that jurisdiction.
It would be great if they could end up coordinating with What If's Multiversal Avengers (basically the SHIELD of the multiverse?)
Agreed! What makes this exciting is that the TVA might have a warrant for another/a new targets... Dr. Strange, report to the principal's office. Bring Wanda, Cable, and Ultron Prime with you.
Just awesome, loki matching wits with kang scene was perfection
I loved this episode. Devastating, but brilliant. I hope we get another season. Agreed though that if we don’t we probably won’t see Loki again until the next two Avengers movies. I’m gunna miss him, by far the best character in the MCU. 😭💚
Fully agree with Erik. Renslayer seeing Alioth was not her end. Maybe her seeing the animal she maybe tamed for He Who Remains or something....
If the TVA starts pruning Kangs, she may find a new variant too team with 👀
I loved that they made Loki spend a century to become an expert on the loom cuz he was tired of repeating his process 😂😂😂
Loki God of mechanics physics and engineering
Kang and Loki. Science and Fiction. Loki is now able to do everything Kang can do without the science.
Loki needs his own movie! 3 hours of him i can watch !
Doing what? Sitting on his throne holding together the branches of Yggdrasil
Jesus 🤦♂️
This is the best fiction ever created! The feeling I felt watching this series is something I have never felt before, It unlocked a whole new feeling in me and I can now see the ultimate purpose in a whole new way that I never thought was possible before. Thank you Marvel.
Loki's character arc is the best in ALL of the MCU.
I am sad. There will never be a Season Finale that good ever again.
I just don't understand Maude's logic about keeping the Sacred Timeline. The show made it very clear that pruning timelines is killing all those people and beings that could have existed throughout all of time. Pruning those timelines is essentially genocide. And she's ok with that? He sacrificed himself so that others may live. He also wanted to give the multiverse a chance to defeat Kang in the forseen Multiversal War. Saving everyone through all of time is pretty damn worth it to me.
I had to keep skipping her. She’s so attached to her half thought out theory. It’s clear she couldn’t wrap her head around the story.
The idea is to prune them before they develop into full branches, which is why the red lines were on the monitor. So if pruned in time those people never existed.
The God of Stories. Such a magnificent ending. Took me completely by surprise and straight into mythology. Wonderfully perfect.
I'm sure live-chat covered this but Loki turned into both the God of Stories and Yggdrasil (The World Tree). Yggdrasil's branches and roots connect to every plane or in this instance, the multiverse.multivariate.
Also loved this season and think Loki Season 1 & 2 is my favorite MCU content over everything else.
ditto on the 'fav content above all' bit!
He is *EVERYTHING!* 🤯💚
It felt so cinematic on all levels, the story and the acting.
I just saw the marvels and came home to watch the finale, what an amazing hour of film. Truly historical. F**king perfect. The marvels was a lot of fun too!!!
Great night to be a Marvel fan!!!
Literally same man what a hell of a night lol
@impicklericcckthen why are you here💀
@impicklericcckusername checks out, this guy definitely has a lot of friends.
Why are you here?
@impicklericcck No, honey. You are and always will be.
31:46 he could hear Mobius and Sylvie speaking, kinda scary having Loki witnessing these glimpses of what’s happening in ALL THOSE TIMELINES 😂
He's become an ACTUAL God now. Omniscient and omnipresent.
Just a thought for Maude. Just cause you saw Loki holding the tree, doesn't mean he needs to be there all the time. Kang could move around, Loki is a god, so maybe the just represented his burden. Not his existence.
He is literally the loom holding it together, if he let goes, all the timelines will die, although... He could project himself, as he did in the mcu but his physical body is stuck there for the foreseeable future
I don't know about you guys but I had literal goosebumps at the ending of the episode. Just wow.
Best writing, character development, VFX... It felt amazing to watch... I could watch it 10 times... Loki deserves awards,this is the marvel i know
It is possible. That Loki in being the timekeeper is now kind of a narrator. Keeper of all the stories on all the timelines. And it may be Loki's mind/presence is seeing or living through every branch. Not alone. But omnipresent.
I can’t possibly understand how you could think Kang was doing a good job by actively pruning and destroying universes. Like, this entire season was about how pruning and murdering these timelines was objectively a terrible thing to do lmfao.
And one of the writers of the show stated that they don’t have any plans to do a season 3, which makes absolute sense
I would LOVE to see a Breakroom episode of just Maude and Eric having a philosophical debate about free will/chaos vs determinism/order!
Loki's horns colour/pattern resembled Kang's Time Device.
I miss Loki already.
feels like he (the character) died.
The finale was amazing. It's a tearjerker honestly. It starts fast but slows down with some heartfelt scenes. It looks to bring Rama-Tut as that looks to be where young Nathaniel Richards could have lead himself evading Loki who is becoming God of stories right before our eyes as I'm quite aware that Loki knows that throne he has is just for moments so He Who Remains can devise a plain as the throne sit in the slash that He Who Remains seemed to have created in their conversation at the end of time a huge war is about to begin between the two
It's amazing how 1 episode can change an opinion about an entire broadcast station Disney is a children's channel but children do grow and mature and that's what I seen in the Loki character even if he returns to being mischievous because who would really say that he saved every life that exist at one time.
I give it a 10 of 10
Such an emotional character Loki his propensity to experience and express those feelings that create connection in MCU's dire time of that need viewers connection
Bravo! To everyone involved with Marvel it all ties in.
I want to see a “blooper” cut if all the times the crew tried to reset the loom, see every little detail and funny moments we missed!
Loki doesn't know this is better choice or not but he's giving others a chance to fight and survive without being wiped off completely
The slow rotating shot to reveal Yggdrasil World tree is probably the most beautiful thing the MCU has produced.
What a finale! The tree 💚 !!
I still need more Loki! I’d absolutely want a season 3. Still more to explore. Mobius may go back to the TVA after seeing his other self. Where would he start over? What’s Sylvie really going to do? Ravonna and her backstory of being used by Kang, then ending up in the void. If she helped Kang, She might know how to tame alioth from her temporal aura/subconscious memories (although wiped). And Loki all alone - my heart hurt seeing that! Gimme a three!
I feel like this is a great ending for this story in particular. A season 3 will probably be named something else(if it happens).
What a fantastic conclusion to a greatly produced show!!!
It’s crazy to think that this whole show happened because Hulk was upset about taking the stairs at the end of Avengers 1
I’m with Maude, Loki better not just be stuck there forever
I mean that's the ultimate heroic sacrifice to forever be a god and king that keeps all life alive but forever trapped at the end of time
He is the ultimate hero.
What if Loki fell asleep?
Just wait for secret wars
I couldn’t listen to her, the story clearly went over her head
Loki got the depth and epic journey that I wish they would have given to the Wanda. Imagine Wanda travelling to her roots to meet Cython and realise why she was destined to rule everything, instead she turned into a surface level villain used for shock factor in MoM. Well done to the Loki writers for this phenomenal story!
JUST WOW❤ Although I would have loved to see a Loki God of Stories will return... I cant wait to see him again. I love this arch for him
I can assume this is Tom's exit. The way Endgame was for RDJr, Evans and Scarlett. Brilliant episode. Liked the new theme song. Marvel will need these writers for future projects.
The second the ep end, my whole brain just stop.. this is an amazing ep..
I don't think the Rennslayer scene was setting up any sort of comeback for her. If anything, I think we were being shown her demise. It looked and sounded like Alioth was approaching her to devour her and fully erase her from existence.
Nah, I think she landed in timeline in Ancient Egypt with Pharaoh Kang cuz of the pyramid in the background. Cuz it seemed to me that there were no more pruned timelines and that all the timelines had been rejuvenated.
But what about Brad?
She may appear in future movies.
@@struggleskywalker1025nah, I doubt it. There was a pyramid (or a sphinx at least) in the void in season 1, and there was also that tablet in the grass that looks like the TVA. I think if there's going to be a season 3, it'll be another loki (Kid Loki?) and Renslayer perhaps teaming up to get up to mischief in the void (kid loki was king of the void afterall). It'd be an interesting spin off!
I wonder if that’s the true end to Loki, I’m really torn about it. Loki is my favorite character😢
Nah, we'll more than likely gonna see him in the next two Avengers films
@@struggleskywalker1025And Deadpool 3 and Thor 5.
Am I the only one who would pay to watch this episode in the theater on the big screen? This was beautiful and compelling
I like the idea of them making Loki a mixture of Loki Prime and the God of stories like this. That also leaves it open for them to use a season 3 to build up the Avenger tower at the end of time to be ready for the final battle in Secret Wars. They could also use it to set up Loki grabbing the frozen moments in time to preserve like they did in the comics. Running with that could go either really or incredibly badly but does allow for the individual story moments that can link all the MCU through Loki.
Episode 5: Loki did not WANT to be alone.
Finale: Loki NEEDED to be alone.
Hence his growth, and the sacrifice.
Watching the season finale of Loki and then heading to the movies fright after or the marvels was such a symphany
Something to recall, Loki took responsibility to act like a real god. And being the master of time finally, every time you saw him put his green energy into a timeline, he was actually diving into that timeline and interacting with it to nurture the timeline. Then upon return, he moved on to the next strand. So you'll see him pop into stories in the future in some way. And of course, even though he's popped in and out of the branches, he's always in the overworld, he's "always there for all time" but also in every timeline as well.
I want to believe after Loki turned into a tree of life he sent Jane foster to Valhalla so when Thor dies he will get everything back and won’t be alone after death
This was season and the finale was a masterpiece! Also Maud is totally a Kang variant. Facts! 😂😂😂
I think I agree with Maud that there isn't much room for a season 3. They have put these characters in the PERFECT position to be picked back up with in future movies, like Kang Dynasty etc. I mean if anyone should show up It's obviously Loki. Our heroes will have to find him as part of their quest in the big final battle. But, sad as it makes me, this does feel like excellent end of this specific story. MCU narrative logic hopefully means their stories will pick up in other movies, but a season 3 might be a drag. This is a set up for more than a TV show, if that makes sense.
Agreed on her for that part too. This season put Loki on his Prime no more development there, he was on his peak now if they make a season 3 they will destroy what they build here. But for the continuation of the story of the other character probably will be on another show maybe TVA own series or something.
They could go real crazy and bring it full circle. The murals at the TVA showed the time keepers trimming a tree. Season one was the end and season 2 was the beginning. Now comes the war with Renslayer and Kang taking over again and the whole thing repeating over again.
I like the way you think!!!👏🏾💚
