"There was one time when we were children, he transformed himself into a snake, and he knows that I love snakes. So I went to pick up the snake to admire it and he transformed back into himself and he was like, "Blaah, it's me!" and he stabbed me. We were eight at the time." *pans to Loki smirking*. This story is exactly why I named my snake Loki.
The scene with Classic Loki vs Alioth is probably also the reason why there was so little CGI in the fights earlier on in the series, they blew their entire CGI budget on this fight instead to make it look epic.
That is every Loki's glorious purpose, to be a stepping stone for other's greatness. Never thought it would be for a version of himself. He was an awesome character and will be missed.
Kinda difficult to believe that Loki - who is over a thousand years old and obsessed with obtaining power - never pushed and explored the limits of his own power.
You can hear Throg groaning while he tries to break through the jar. Its only for a second but you can hear it. Richard E. Grant portrayed classic Loki perfectly. I was blown away with his scenes.
you forgot to mentioned the Old Loki's story regarding how he deceived Thanos from killing him in the Infinity War with current Loki listening intrigued-ly. Hence we can say Loki actually still lives after Infinity War
Was it his Last Stand? He explained earlier he could make a super realistic version of himself - did you notice the floating debris when Loki and Sylvie enchanted Alioth?
It takes an actor of real quality to pull off that Old Loki performance in that outfit. Richard E Grant was a real scene-stealer in this one. I spotted the USS Eldridge, and I was quite pleased that in their final moments the crew managed to get off one last salvo.

Classic Loki's death and scene could be my all time favorite in the MCU, definitely poetic and "heroic" which we don't really describe Loki as normally.
@@ethanrichards it’s sad because he says how he escaped his death, of sacrificing himself to save Thor, but then fulfills his true glorious purpose by sacrificing himself to save them.

I love that Marvel paid tribute to the classic Loki in this way instead of making him appear dated or inferior. That means a lot to the creators, artists and fans of that character.
@@nikhilmhatre3473 he still is kind of joke until the end when he sacrifices himself. Even when he’s telling his “tragic backstory” it’s not like it’s done in any kind of serious or sad way he tells it as in a comedic way
I don't think so. Noticed how when Alioth tries to eat his illusions, they erase themselves in a green light ? His rusted helmet after Alioth ate him was very much physically real...
Did anyone point out how Old Loki, when sacrificing himself, helped send a surge to Sylvie and Loki to enchant the beast? You can see the green blast come from within Alioth.
I love they showed the Thanos-copter and the more I think about it, the more it makes sense to me that they did it not just as a funny homage or detail for the fans. They are clearly telling us that every single thing of the comics, no matter how crazy or bizarre it might be, it's a reality, it's a timeline that is pretty much real for those inside it
I think there was an important Miss Minutes moment you didn't mention, when Sylvie and Ravonna are talking about going to the end of time, Miss Minutes brings up the time ship seemingly to buy time for the guards to get there, Renslayer runs with it but there's an initial shock to her intonation when Miss Minutes mentions it, suggesting it was either something she wasn't aware of and is just running with the idea to buy time, or it was something she was keeping secret. Either way it shows Miss Minutes has more agency than being a pre-recorded computer interface and some intelligence to it.
Even if MissMinutes is a legit system for the TVA that means she's an avatar for the guy in charge. So what you said would basically be about the show's villain, you'll be right whatever the big reveal is xD
Nah that wouldn't cause a nexus event because Loki had done shit like this before, new rockstars were saying it could have been when Loki turned into a snake and stabbed Thor when they were 8
I think the relationship between Loki and Sylvie is everything all rolled into one: love, friendship, kinship…the whole ball of wax. He’s never, ever experienced anything like it before, and I think that’s why he’s acting so awkward, and dazed and dazzled by Silvie. It’s not that he’s in love, per se. He’s totally overwhelmed by all of these new to him feelings.
When Kid Loki says he killed Thor, I Immediately thought of Thor’s story from Ragnarok about him and Loki as kids, when Loki turned into a snake so Thor could admire him, and then turned back into Loki and stabbed Thor. Maybe the Kid Loki variant killed Thor in that timeline instead of injuring him. Also, the site of the huge Yellow Jacket helmet made me think of Giant Man’s skeleton from old man Logan. I doubt that was their intention, but you never know.
I don't think its an 8 years old story Maybe you are correct but I think they kept this to show hes powerful so we can understand hes powerful too He is going to be in young avengers team
I dont think that would be the occasion because the story of loki transforming sounded alot more like a loki prank but kid loki said "i killed thor" with some serious intensity. I think he intentionally did it
@@colton8171 maybe he realized that saying it that way would get him more respect among the other Lokis, I mean he is the only kid there so saying it as harshly as possible would be a good survival method... make them respect you even if you're just a kid
I really appreciate how quickly you get these videos out. They’re always timely, but still well thought out and very well edited. You never ramble. And somehow you still manage to get all those little clips and images in. Amazing. Thanks for all you do.

As a commentator that hunts for Easter Eggs, I'm astounded that you failed to mention that when Silvie woke up in the school bus at the end of time, she was literally surrounded by HUGE EASTER EGGS! (Actual colored eggs)
The piece of history that really got me smiling was when I saw the classic BURGER CHEF sign. For those born after 1996, Burger Chef was one of big burger chains, before it was sold to Hardee's.
I thought aside from all the points you made about the opening scene's cinematography, i immediately associated the shot of the inversion to mimic the flipping of an hourglass to match the time motif and the visual imagery on the elevator simulataneously.
@@KNBhanushali I don't think mobius is a loki.. I think it was in the first episode they mentioned that lokis mind was too powerful to be wiped so it wouldn't make sense thag mobius is loki as he wouldn't have been able to have his mind wiped
2 things you didnt mention: 1. That first building the camera zooms by in the city shot is the Lighthouse of Alexandria. 2. The uplifting music that plays early in the final battle seems to be an homage to Wagners 'Ride of The Valkyries'. Could be relevant seeing as how Sylvie idolized the Valkyries in her childhood.
I was completely expecting Mobius to ask Sylvie to show him what his life was like before working at the TVA in which we would see that he really did use a jet ski. Also, at the end of the show during the credits, they added a brief scene of a lot of the “Lokis” pictures from their files.
Yup .. at the credits those pictures changes. It first showed loki in Episode 1, TVA version LOKI in Episode 2.. then In Episode 3 Sylive, Don't remember Episode 4..
Also end credits footage are subtle hints about what is going to happen in the next episodes. For example: LOKI pressing a bell happens in Episode 2 but that was already in the credits. Maybe there is more.. but I didn't catch much..
What if the person behind the TVA was just another Loki? It seems the entire TVA could all be Loki variants. Loki ruling the TVA would be his end goal even at the expense of other Loki.
@@koryhaggert2848 Except that none of the TVA are Loki variants, they're all variants of other people which Lady Loki confirmed when she enchanted the two agents.
Me too. Also when Loki hugs Mobius. I love how emotional marvel studios' shows are and how they take their time to focus on the characters. It's exactly the right way to go about it and what makes marvel stories so special imo.
I am literally blown away with how deep the lore of the MCU keeps going. Thank goodness for all the more dedicated fans helping fill us all in after every movie/episode!
That castle at the end of the episode looks a lot like Dr.Dooms castle in the comics and cartoons. I think introducing Dr.Doom in Loki would be a cool way to bring him into the MCU, and he could be working for Kang. It could also be another Loki variant that could work for Kang if it isn't Dr.Doom
Excellent theory! do you think Doom would actually work with or for Kang? It totally looks like Latveria, and Doom does make a time machine ala Avengers tv series.
12:25 I had thought that of all the Wizard of Oz references, that the classic Loki making Asgard looked the most like the Emerald City with all of his green magic.
Considering we haven’t seen the scene where Loki is standing in front of a throne in his suit, I think it’s going to be a Loki variant that is on the rock in the middle of space. The Loki that ruled them all
I'm betting for Superior Loki. Then, as a post cresit scene, we'll see a menacing silhouette from the back, with a laquais announcing him that "Loki has failed", and the dark figure would turn back with a smile, close up, it's Kang. BOOM ! There we go, 10 more years of MCU content to come.
I finally remember where I remember Richard E. Grant from! He was Bob Cratchit in the Patrick Stewart 'A Christmas Carol'! I woke up this morning and suddenly remembered. Nice!
i think Croki biting off President Loki's hand is also a homage to Captain Hook- in one of the Tinker Bell movies- i think it was Pirate Fairy, Tim Hiddleston voices Hook. and as that's a prequel series, this is before he actually got the hook- even before he met Smee

@@6dragondaddy913 Of course by 3/4th barley corn in size. or a size that is soo small that it would not even be a Visual difference Like who sees that size and thinks Yeah its smaller
I really hoped Sylvie was gonna she Mobius his past before he left. I’m still holding out for hope. I wanna see him on a jet ski in the ‘90s living his best life.
A correction, it is not the "Ride of the Valkyries". Its from the same Wagner Opera but its another piece by the name of "Entry of the Gods into Valhalla".
The last shot of the Lokis approaching the castle gave me serious Paradise Lost vibes: "Some natural tears they dropp'd, but wip'd them soon; The world was all before them, where to choose Their place of rest, and Providence their guide: They hand in hand with wand'ring steps and slow Through Eden took their solitary way. "
Thoughts: Did Classic Loki fake his death? He mentioned his ability to cast illusions so realistic. I wonder if he faked his death as part of the illusion.
That's Marvel making fun for all theorists, just like in WandaVision when Agent Woo writing all the questions on the board. And yeah, he did faked his death on that reality. What Thanos killed is an illusion that he was convinced it was real.
little theory: what if future loki didn't die but it was another illusion and thats why he was so happy or i just want him to come back to reunite with his brother
@@anthonybasciano6551 it won't matter, because this Loki is not from that timeline, the moment he escaped using the space stone he created another timeline, which was then erased by the TVA the person who deviated (Loki) is the one we see now, so everything that we've seen in the movies has happened and this doesn't affect it
@@arijeetbhattacharya9787 but he IS from that timeline, because he wasn’t born nor grow up in any other reality. Just because he deviated from that timeline doesn’t mean he’s automatically different.
the score in the climax really gave me "Ride Of The Valkyries" from Richard Wagner vibes! I was on the edge of my seat the whole sequence! Second best Marvel orchestrated score, only behind the Avengers Endgame main theme! And Richard E. Grant was the real MVP of the episode: "glorious purpose" was fabulous! Best episode of the whole MTU so far!!!
Classic Loki dying made me cry. Of all the things he decided to conjure was his HOME that he hadn't seen for a good long while. The Lokis scoffing about glorious purpose but he ended his life saying the same thing. He also talks about surviving being the only thing... Then there was the "Everywhere I went, only pain followed" line. Then his reaction to Mobius' "It's never too late to change." Also there was a tear coming down his left eye as he started laughing. On another note why does Kid Loki have a shiny toaster? EDIT: After giving myself time to contemplate. If Old Loki ends up being the big baddie tho~ xD

Well it fits. Marvel in ALL these shows never introduces a new character in last episode but maybe they switch it up its Kang. I.m.o. its a loki
What if the person behind the TVA was just another Loki? It seems the entire TVA could all be Loki variants. Loki ruling the TVA would be his end goal even at the expense of other Loki.
@@koryhaggert2848 Except that none of the TVA are Loki variants, they're all variants of other people which Lady Loki confirmed when she enchanted the two agents.
Yo, you’ve got a weird echo going on about 5.5 minutes in, right after the ad.
It's the variants speaking
@@SingTingz31 Nah, it's your mom.
Classic loki sacrificing himself actually made me tear up that was a great moment.
Me too. Also when Loki hugs Mobius.
I love how emotional marvel studios' shows are and how they take their time to focus on the characters. It's exactly the right way to go about it and what makes marvel stories so special imo.
Just solidifies the fact when Mobius said that Loki's die/fail to show others their true potential
Theory: The Person behind The TVA Is Howard the Duck
That would be some shit
I would be sooo ...😑 🤬
I’ll PayPal $20 if it’s Howard the duck
@@Mikedrop1 AYO if it’s Kahn the conquerer and I’m right PayPal me
Dope
I've come to look forward to these breakdown videos as much as the episodes themselves
When Kid Loki said he killed Thor, Loki looks like he just remembered the moment he could have, and realized what would have happened if he did.
I am literally blown away with how deep the lore of the MCU keeps going. Thank goodness for all the more dedicated fans helping fill us all in after every movie/episode!
This episode should have just been titled:
Easter eggs
Waiting for a show to actually name this outright like this, whether it’s exact or similar
What if mobius is a loki variant
@@KNBhanushali what if your mom is a loki variant
Easter bunny loki variant.
@@hibuddy2768 maybe, dare I say, even your grandmother?
6:14 I know I'm high, but I can't be the only one hearing this. Trippy
thank god i'm not the only one
Same bruh, had me shook
Why does he sound like this
I'm so high literally nobody is mentioning this
I heard the weird echo, and I stopped the video to see if people addressed it in the comments. Yours is the first mention of it that I have seen.
The actual villain here has got to be a Loki making sure he is the only Loki in the entire multiverse.
That castle at the end of the episode looks a lot like Dr.Dooms castle in the comics and cartoons. I think introducing Dr.Doom in Loki would be a cool way to bring him into the MCU, and he could be working for Kang. It could also be another Loki variant that could work for Kang if it isn't Dr.Doom
Exactly what I thought, very similar look but then it doesn’t feel right and wouldn’t make sense for him to appear, Kang seems much more fitting
Excellent theory! do you think Doom would actually work with or for Kang?
It totally looks like Latveria, and Doom does make a time machine ala Avengers tv series.
I know everyone is thinking it may be the house of ideas. Maybe introduce then and now, or maybe Loki, God of Stories?
yes it was more doom like than kang we shall see what is up soon
12:25 I had thought that of all the Wizard of Oz references, that the classic Loki making Asgard looked the most like the Emerald City with all of his green magic.
We better have more cameos of throg and gator loki or i will be pissed
Lol fr 💀
Gator Loki was SOOOOOOOO dope!🐊🤩
I would definitely pay to watch them fight in a standalone movie
@@Bijoyoo Omg that would be great
@@mksaber170 Fr
I want a side story about Alligator Loki.
Ok, so basically he’s a little gator. 🐊
The king of frost giants freak an aligator instead of his wife. The End.
Wouldn't it be weird if it was Alligator Loki all along who pulls the strings of TVA and was referred to as space lizard by our main Loki? 🤔
The question is, Loki is an alligator, Thor is...?
A series of Tom and Jerry style animated shorts featuring Alokitor and Throg.
Where ever that Thanoscopter came from, I want to go there.
Well, there's the "What If?" series coming, so we could still get to see that. :)
The “your mom” joke actually got me this time
I did a double-take and rewind it because I thought I misheard, and then I put on the caption just to make sure.
I was like damn wtf
Considering we haven’t seen the scene where Loki is standing in front of a throne in his suit, I think it’s going to be a Loki variant that is on the rock in the middle of space. The Loki that ruled them all
its Kang.....
@@Yosefu93 it's not
the villain is loki variant
@@KnightRaymund 🤡
I'm betting for Superior Loki.
Then, as a post cresit scene, we'll see a menacing silhouette from the back, with a laquais announcing him that "Loki has failed", and the dark figure would turn back with a smile, close up, it's Kang.
BOOM ! There we go, 10 more years of MCU content to come.
You miss one: the car that Mobius was driving it was a Wolkswagen Variant ;)
You mean the pizza plannet car?
@@ozzevans iep, it's a volkswagen variant 1.6 1970 or 1972 :)
@@ozzevans I thought it was a double nod for that and him voicing a car
Wow dude you truly scooped ScreenCrush on that one.
Classic Loki MVP of this episode
No one else is talking about the audio going all weird after the ad. I feel like I'm losing it. 😂
Theory: When Alioth eats a Void member it erases their memory and sends them to the TVA. Mobius will find Old Loki as a new recruit.
I like that theory.
A very noice theory
Lokis face when all the variants were fighting though
When Ryan says: Norse mythology is weirder than Marvel comics
Me after watching a Norse mythology video last week: You are so right about that…
I hope it was Jon Solo. He does his Norse mythology videos so well.
Most mythologies are bonkers. Norse mythology is at the top of that list.
Tom Hiddleston Is Such a brilliant Actor 🔥 He was Born to be Loki
Og Loki projected himself so well that even that titan thought it was real.. 🤔
I finally remember where I remember Richard E. Grant from! He was Bob Cratchit in the Patrick Stewart 'A Christmas Carol'! I woke up this morning and suddenly remembered. Nice!
i think Croki biting off President Loki's hand is also a homage to Captain Hook- in one of the Tinker Bell movies- i think it was Pirate Fairy, Tim Hiddleston voices Hook. and as that's a prequel series, this is before he actually got the hook- even before he met Smee
@ScreenCrush FYI the audio is doubled for almost the entire minute start @ 6:00 and ending at 6:55
you didn't just try to ping a person on TH-cam comments did you
@@gabrieljohnson6304 It's for easier visibility.
@@coryandrum what
@@gabrieljohnson6304 TH-cam deleted my comment and reply?. Why even use youtube...
Imagine building stonehenge just to be purged immediately after finishing it.
Hoax
Wouldnt the stones relocate also
Lead builder: OY cornel Did you Put rock C314 on location 555-2345
Cornel Nay sir i checked and its on location 555-2342>
Lead builder: ai well those " 3 Line" don't matter so keep building. {3 line= 3/4th barley corn}
TVA [after its completed]: WHO is the bloody idiot BUILD Stonehenge wrong!!!
@@darknessblades it was probably designed by a guy named Nigel... It's actually MUCH smaller than it appears...
@@6dragondaddy913 Of course by 3/4th barley corn in size.
or a size that is soo small that it would not even be a Visual difference Like who sees that size and thinks Yeah its smaller
I really like Alligator Loki and I hope he appears more often really soon.
I loved how Classic Loki explained how he escaped Thanos bc that was a very popular fan theory when Infinity War came out.
Classic Loki CARRIED
Perfect timing, just watched it.
FYI, the car Mobius drives is called Type 4 VARIANT. :)
Nice 😀
I really hoped Sylvie was gonna she Mobius his past before he left. I’m still holding out for hope. I wanna see him on a jet ski in the ‘90s living his best life.
Love the rendition of Wagner’s “Ride of The Valkyries” when Classic Loki makes his final stand by creating a mock-up of Asgard
A correction, it is not the "Ride of the Valkyries". Its from the same Wagner Opera but its another piece by the name of "Entry of the Gods into Valhalla".
It was beautiful
Did anyone notice the audio at 6:00
I need 5 more episodes of this series!
Theres gonna be a second season
@@TiberiusRex182 won’t be the same but still happy
It's called season 2, and is MORE than 5 episodes.
Love the level of detail the creators put into Loki.
Why is no one talking about how the way classic Loki survived was the theory that everyone was talking about when infinity war came out
THIS
@@Tito171091 is that a good this
@@connorgoodwin6875 it means they copy fan theories lol but i don't know if it really has a comic background or not
The last shot of the Lokis approaching the castle gave me serious Paradise Lost vibes:
"Some natural tears they dropp'd, but wip'd them soon;
The world was all before them, where to choose
Their place of rest, and Providence their guide:
They hand in hand with wand'ring steps and slow
Through Eden took their solitary way. "
I love seeing the Polybius arcade machine in the background, makes the Loki gang even more mysterious
Thoughts: Did Classic Loki fake his death? He mentioned his ability to cast illusions so realistic. I wonder if he faked his death as part of the illusion.
He is a loki after all so it’s possible
That's Marvel making fun for all theorists, just like in WandaVision when Agent Woo writing all the questions on the board. And yeah, he did faked his death on that reality. What Thanos killed is an illusion that he was convinced it was real.
I think he turned himself into that helmet which is an inanimate object as that is the same trick he did with thanos
it would undermine his sacrifice
Yes but that’s what Lokis do. They escape/survive
One dislike is from President Loki’s right hand.
He's gonna need a right-hand man.
little theory: what if future loki didn't die but it was another illusion and thats why he was so happy
or i just want him to come back to reunite with his brother
to be honest, the way this show is going it messes up the whole MCU.
So it has to end with Loki going back to 2012 and being taken prisoner
@@anthonybasciano6551 If it ends with the destruction of the TVA, then we'll have multiverses, which doesn't mess up the timeline
This is that Loki... So when he returns.. he will return knowing that thanos kills him
@@anthonybasciano6551 it won't matter, because this Loki is not from that timeline, the moment he escaped using the space stone he created another timeline, which was then erased by the TVA the person who deviated (Loki) is the one we see now, so everything that we've seen in the movies has happened and this doesn't affect it
@@arijeetbhattacharya9787 but he IS from that timeline, because he wasn’t born nor grow up in any other reality. Just because he deviated from that timeline doesn’t mean he’s automatically different.
the score in the climax really gave me "Ride Of The Valkyries" from Richard Wagner vibes! I was on the edge of my seat the whole sequence! Second best Marvel orchestrated score, only behind the Avengers Endgame main theme! And Richard E. Grant was the real MVP of the episode: "glorious purpose" was fabulous! Best episode of the whole MTU so far!!!
I love when you merged Loki's easter eggs with that hairloss product. It was smooth though.
Smoothest. Transitions. Ever.
Classic Loki dying made me cry. Of all the things he decided to conjure was his HOME that he hadn't seen for a good long while. The Lokis scoffing about glorious purpose but he ended his life saying the same thing. He also talks about surviving being the only thing... Then there was the "Everywhere I went, only pain followed" line. Then his reaction to Mobius' "It's never too late to change."
Also there was a tear coming down his left eye as he started laughing.
On another note why does Kid Loki have a shiny toaster?
EDIT: After giving myself time to contemplate. If Old Loki ends up being the big baddie tho~ xD
**Mobius is alive**
**Loki met Silvie**
Me : I couldn't have disappointments anymore
Classic Loki dying : *hold my illusion*..
Is the talking in the background during the sponsor ad part of a secret code we're supposed to figure out?
Every video on Loki I watch is 10,000 possibilities along with 10 facts and Easter eggs
I'm waiting for final episode where 7 mobius variants appear and say "wow"
