When Loki first appeared in Avengers 1, he commanded that everyone should abandon their free will and kneel before him. Loki’s last appearance was him abandoning his freedom in order to give the multiverse free will… That’s a character arc!!!
@@TON__618.that’s not what the comment says 😂 he said when Loki first appeared in Avengers 1, not that avengers was the first appearance of Loki. But, that is also wrong because the first scene in avengers is not Loki making humans bow before him, it was him arriving on earth and killing propel followed by him saying he has Glorious Purpose.
This finale was the first thing marvel has done in years that actually gripped my full attention. No phone in hand, no doing other stuff while it’s on in the background. Simply locked in and watching intently.
I'm not gonna lie, I balled my eyes out at the end of this episode. Imprisoning himself on a throne, sacrificing himself on the altar of loneliness to fulfill his glorious purpose and protect his friends is the ultimate character arc. I felt utterly devastated and proud of his growth and evolution. And in the end embracing his "losing" destiny so that those he cared about could win. Brilliant conclusion.
but saying that... it DOES make sense considering with wanda... where strange is probably heading in power.. LOVE... and now how insanely powerful loki is since god of stories IS the most powerful version of loki... they are setting up some SERIOUSLY op characters... and that ALSO really excites me for the future... to the point that JUST MAYBE we might ACTUALLY see a "beyonder" or someone at least at that level to have a purpose for all this growing broken characters
If anything a ending with Sylvie eventually joining him by the tree so he doesn't have to sit alone and dwelling in a world of their illusions viewing the timelines of the multiverse like endless movienight. This ending was great too though. He is preventing future incursion events as the branches of the multiverse spread out.... infinitely.
That moment Loki opened the doors and heading towards the loom. Best scene ever. I never saw this version of Loki coming, its one of the best portrayed character ever.
@@udulapathirathna8969He fulfilled his glorious purpose. A purpose that his 2012 version could not have even imagined. That is an ending far more beautiful than his dying.
But - remember - this was a variant. However, the Loki that died in Infinity War being the true Loki would have made Odin no Less Proud, as he did try to play to his Strength to save his Brother. Loki could have given Thanos the Tesseract and washed his hands of it, saving himself. But instead, he stood up to Thanos and died for it. That is the mark of a warrior - to face impossible odds and still press on in spite of it. Loki would have been primed for Valhalla, and given the end of Love and Thunder - because of his actions - we may see Loki Prime return again! After all, Heimdall was also there, who died before him, so ... when they inevitably return, we shouldn't be surprised if Loki Prime returns as well, which could be influenced by Storyteller Loki if we want to keep his current persona, only still Prime Loki in most ways. Not only this, but his other honorable acts include - him resurecting Surtur to help with Thor's plan to push forward with Ragnarok - him helping the Revengers against Hela during Ragnarok - him actually being on the ship at the end of Ragnarok, unlike him projecting in the circular prison in Saccar to save his skin Death could change him the way it did Variant (Storyteller) Loki... and then again... slightly another version - We may see him resurrect as Kid-Loki and Storyteller may appear as Ikol for the Young Avengers version, advising the team that will defeat Kang! After All, Storyteller Loki can write his story now, which may mean he can affect things in the Prime storyline. Remember that Kid-Loki was a Hero in the comics. Also in the comics, being worthy of Mjolnir once fell to Loki when Thor was deemed not worthy.
I think it’s the same original Loki from endgame because when they went back in time for the affinity stones they messed up and Loki escaped so essentially he never made it to the point thanks killed him in turn changing the course of history
The foreshadowing in the episode where Loki is trying to get Mobius to focus on HWR, and he says, “yeah but in order to do that, I need a Loki who remains”. This series is incredible. Loki’s transformation down the gangway is officially my favorite transformation of any character in any movie/series.
After watching this I can say with absolute certainty that Loki was the best thing Marvel has done since Endgame. It was a work of art. I wouldve paid to see it over and over in theaters.
From a technical standpoint? Yes. The story, the visuals, the narrative repercussions, all that good jazz. Definitely. But in terms of entertainment and fun, which to me are the most important aspects of media, no. Shang-Chi is still top for me. I'd say Loki S2 gets an 8, and when combined with S1 an 8.75.
When Thanos said “ the hardest choices require the strongest will” I felt that in this episode. This finale was absolutely heartbreaking and so incredible at the same time. Loki did really fulfill his glorious purpose. And this quote from thanos just sum it up for me
@@zimknxckb4ckprobably returned him back to his timeline because him with the handbook is on a branch timeline and normal victor the candle maker is on the sacred timeline
No fr that shit HIT ME especially since they just threw "centuries later" on the screen then cut right back to him trying to figure out the same exact problem like nothing happened. I actually had to pause it cause I was like wait WHAT!? U CANT JUST BREEZE PAST THAT SHIT
that part got me lmao, when Timely said it would take centuries, he actually took the time to review everything before attempting another Timely timeline fix just for it not to work out like he expected. Loki’s patience there must’ve been, impossible
Loki’s selfish want is to not be alone and the last thing he wants is a throne. However, his sacrifice to fulfil his glorious purpose was to sit all alone in a throne to protect the multiverse. I love this series.
one thing i really like about Loki's God of Stories appearance is that it has none of the usual pomposity his usual godly outfits have. it's not a finely stitched piece meant to make him look wealthy and important with lots of gold bits in it; it's fairly simple and humble, reflecting his growth as a character; a green cloak, muted colours and simple practical shoes. the garb of a simple storyteller, and not an arrogant godling
After all sitting alone for all eternity you would want to be comfortable. Despite the character growth I think the clothes also represent that of comfort, in himself and the choice he has made.
If you go to comics explained he says that it's not actually Loki god of stories but a character known as the Custodian something where he sits on his throne and holds the multiverse together and that someone always has to be at the helm I know I'm A little off with the name of the character but that's the name more or less
@SirAdamusGames Yep, comfortable clothes, no ostentatiousness--yes true, except that he has a huge crown with big ol' horns! I guess he still just had to let some of his inner Loki out. Lol
I just have to throw props to Owen Wilson as Mobius along with my 1000% agreement to everyone's comments about Tom's performance, and every minute of both seasons. Owen was perfect as Loki's first friend, and partner, and his serious and comedic moments. I sure we could see him again with Loki.😢
The take away I got from this was that Loki ISN'T alone. He see and hears any of his friends that he wants to. Loki is the God of Stories and Master of Time. Fantastic series and thoroughly enjoyed it. Odin and Thor would be so proud. Fantastic journey, thank you.
@@rookieboy4957If there is a season 3, I want loki to do that. He can be anywhere he wants to be as his clone. I think he can do so much more if he wants it. Like how he learned engineering and physics for a century just to help the tva. He’s got all the time he can get. I feel like he’s going to be Marvel’s strongest character but and I hope we can see him get to that point
"You know you can't get to the end until you've been changed by the journey" Loki was always destined to do this. What an arch this character has, truly amazing story telling.
The beauty of *Loki* spending centuries learning the physics and science is that it also prepared his mind to cast the correct magic he needed to survive the loom and seize the branches.
@@MrTimboman14imagine being optimistic after literally centuries of the hardest physics and engineering classes that have ever existed. Shit, imagine being optimistic in that situation after midterms
@@Corvid76he literally said that he became the God of Stories at least twice and also stated that in the comics this scene was kinda based off that he became the God of Stories. He never said the custodian of the multiverse
@@richardfrey3075the custodian of the multiverse is literally the same role that was depicted in the season finale how could he be the god of stories when he’s doing nothing that the Loki GOS does in the comics?
Yes, but nobody has really explained to me what the god of storytelling is or where that character even came from lol. I guess I will have to do my own research on that.
I don't know if it was coincidence or all planned out but the fact that the time stone is green, the same green as Loki's magic, he was always meant to be where he ends up.
That's an interesting concept, then when you say something like.. "Father time holding together all the strands of time and existence " green, time stone, father time, strands, time, existence...😮🤔🤫🤷♂️
Loki has the most INSANE arc compared to the other characters in the entire MCU. And I can argue about it! 🐊From the "God of Mischief" to the "God of Stories"💚 WHAT A BEAUTIFUL ENDING!
@@lil_cali714___Yeah, he does. His first arc ends with Thanos killing him, and then the one from "2012" that ends here. I know. Different Lokis, but still.
In terms of the fear of being alone, I kind of got the feeling that at the end of it all he wasn’t alone. He could hear Mobius’ voice through the branches, and doubtless every one of his friends clearing their path on the timeline. I think now he is content to watch the stories of his friends, and those stories help him to not be alone.
I kinda disagree. You can see loki's eyes weeping as he hears those words from mobius. He didn't overcome his fear of being alone and he's definetely isn't happy. This isn't a happy ending for loki like most of other marvel movies, he accepted his burden because he knew only he can face the challenge of holding the multiverse together, therefore giving his friends a chance at happiness. At last he got his glourious purpose, and now he is cursed for all of eternity.
I actually think you both are right. Why can't it be both? He may not have overcame his fear of being alone, but him being able to watch or monitor his friends on their timeline may provide him some solace. Both opinions can be right in the end.
He can also randomly timeslips to the Stark Tower with Tony and asked a random question suddenly about quantum physics.... rather than on the same room with Victor and OB or at least I imagined it to be I mean getting stuck in the same room at the same moment is insanity
I hope in what if season 2, we can get a loki story on what he did with that “century later” imagine 100 years understanding physic and science im sure he did meet a lot because of that
I would have like to see more of a montage of him learning throughout the sacred timeline multiverse, with many variant teachers, such as Stark, Pym, B
No one mentioning that this was an option He Who Remains gave in the season 1 finale is surprising. He told them they could take over and run it which is essentially what Loki did in the end. It probably wasn’t in the way people expected, but it still happened.
@@aritramondal6942 loki replaced the look with himself. The loom can only weave one thread of time but loki being the look beats all mechanical disadvantage the loom had
@pilot8220 He wanted them to keep the loom. The reason he created it was to prevent the multiversal war. So it is pretty clear what he wanted - not infinite branches.
I'm impressed at the character development of Loki, from seeking power and dominion by any means, to selfless sacrifice at the cost of himself, for others. He went from troublesome villain to one of the most important heroes in the MCU. Way to keep the MCU alive production team.
Yes! His character development was so throughly thought through. From villain to mercurial anti-hero to the most important hero of timelines, of stories. Everything we love about him and all knew he was capable of was played out perfectly. 💚
Hiddleston’s performance as Loki may be some of the most beautiful and immersive acting. For someone who was always a big Loki fan, I can’t imagine a better actor for the role.
"Time is an illusion." and it's beautiful to see that the character who creates illusions now controls time. So that was character development at its finest. And I found it funny that he always wanted the throne and now he's firmly attached to one. It's interesting to see his wish come true, but it comes with enormous responsibility. Sensational series finale. I hope Marvel continues to build their movies so well after the low point of the last few years.
@@christopherquintana2967Idk if it's the way HWR wanted, because he showed his true colors when he indicated he didn't actually want to die. HWR even made it so that if he did die there would be consequences. So... Like Loki said, he changed the equation to his liking.
@@proximashining776i’m a little confused too, so like does this mean that on the sacred timeline kang is defeated? is there a timeline where loki doesn’t win and he who remains still exists somewhere in time? i mean technically he does right? because there is a point in the past that he is there so what if allll of this is his plan?
Not sure if it was mentioned but Loki got pruned because of the Tesseract/Space stone usage and the first time we see the Tesseract is in Captain America: The First Avenger where it was hidden in a relief carving of Yggdrasil where Red Skull found it. Loki is now the center of Yggdrasil.
Wife and I legit had our jaws drop at that ending. I was expecting him to try and fix it himself but not in that way! Truly a masterpiece.. I really don't want this to be the last time we see Loki but dam that ending was perfect..
One of the best things the mcu has ever done. I can't stop thinking about this episode! Felt so sad when it didn't say Loki will return in the credits. 😔
@chelsearunyan Well with Hemsworth allegedly taking an extended hiatus from acting, and with the ending and the lack of future teases in this episode, I'm honestly under the impression that they're done. At least for the foreseeable future. 😔
Loki has genuinely been the best thing marvel has come out with since endgame, if not ever. This production team needs to be in charge of more content in the future, because they definitely have the right idea, especially considering their standpoint, with the "nuking and episode" and moving past it to make an amazing story.
Anyone else notice how when the timeline was based on Kang’s time loom the TVA members were told to prune. Which in botany means the process of selectively removing certain parts of a plant. It’s cool how Loki’s remaking of the timeline to resemble Yggdrasil (a tree) and TVA members are instead told to essentially water the tree, and let it grow.
When Loki Season 2 started, Mobius literally guessed the solution which we've got in the end. Instead of focusing on He Who Remains, Mobius says "I need Loki who remains". This is some kind of replacement of one person with another and now I realize that entire season was Loki replacing Kang step by step. Epic Series! Beautiful ending scene and Glorious conclusion! And the proof that MCU can have some good and emotionally fulfilled stories after Endgame!
Something that I thought about as soon as I saw Loki sit down on the throne was the scene with Sif in S1xE1. Loki saw being (physically) alone as a form of torture, but now that he has realized his true glorious purpose (protecting his friends), being physically alone no longer matters because he will always have the memories of his loved ones. I think this series did an excellent job in showing loneliness does not come from the amount of people you are physically around, but more so the amount of people that you have connected with.
Can’t stop thinking about Odin’s quote, “All this because Loki desires a throne.” And then to see such bold rejection of that idea from Loki in the citadel, only for him to end up there anyway? Excellent poetic writing. Especially because that version of Loki would discover that what he thought of as his glorious purpose would become his greatest burden.
My biggest hope is that this Loki can be seen and acknowledged by the OG super heroes somehow - so they know, and more importantly, he knows they know, that he is accepted as a hero and not just a villian.
Don't think they would do that. Besides loki does not need recognition from the heroes in the first place. It's his friends that he cares about and they all witness the event unfold in front of their eyes. That's what matter though
so true like I had chills watching the ending, I reaaly hope they oush themselves and allow time for good work like this to be made (and pay their VFX teams!)
Ok, hear me out... If Loki is holding every strand of the Multiverse together, wouldn't he be able to project his consciousness into any of those strands at any point in time? His physical body would still be holding the multiverse together but his consciousness could be anywhere it wants to be therefore he could still be active every now and then in the MCU without messing up this perfect character arc. Maybe a reunion with Thor?
I 100% think they will utilize that idea, have him become somewhat of a mentor figure/advice giver. Everyone once in a while, the next to all knowing Loki God of Stories drops in the help get characters out of one line of thinking and into another to solve their problems.
"Do not put the multiplier down. It will roll off the gangway." Love it! The tone in Loki's voice says it all. In my mind I imagine Victor messing that that up hundreds of times... or maybe just a single frustrating time when they were OH SO CLOSE!
Loki is my favorite character ever, that ending was so beautiful. I like to think that with loki's magic he could project himself down to other people, so he could see Thor again and let him know he's okay. That honestly the only thing I wish we got was the emotional reunion of them
I was so choked up by the end of the episode and I nearly cried when I saw the tree of life. It was so beautiful. Loki has been my favorite character in the MCU and I'm so glad his character ended up the way it did🥲 Thank you to every single writer who contributed to Loki's story and character development.
This is fictional buddy. They are just characters. U acting like Thor who is a fictional character actually cares about Loki another fictional character 🤣. Ur living in fantasy land
@@raymondqiu8202well Thor and Loki are brothers in the MCU and comics. I think this person just wants to see how Loki has changed, yes Thor might not like what his brother does , but still loves him and wants the best for him. We saw that at the end of Thor 2, when he faked his death and saw that when he died in Infinity War that he loved his brother and just wanted to have a story arc.
Given all the Norse mythology in this series, I can’t believe none of us saw Yggdrasil coming. It’s a perfect finale for all of the “BRANCH” timelines.
I loved the finale and series as a whole. One thing I loved is around 34 minutes: Timely’s head is in the temporal aura scanner and right when the computer says “Welcome, He Who Remains” Loki timeslips in. It’s perfect because now he is the He Who Remains. Another bit I loved was the end from ep 5 was when Loki says “it’s not about where, when, or why… it’s about who.” Which I thought was a cheeky reference to Doctor Who, because Loki’s essentially a Timelord now.
Related to this, in the first episode of the season they foreshadow the ending when Mobius tells Loki, who's still timeslipping uncontrollably, that they first "need a Loki who remains." before they can worry about He Who Remains.
Majors dropping all the acts, season 1 Kang, making fun of Timely, and just talking to him like anyone you'd meet on the street was a stroke of genius.
@lastsaviour4916 I don't think he saw him as equal. I'm pretty sure he SET him on this path. Constructed all of this in a way for Loki to gain these abilities and made him sacrifice himself for the hard choices cuz he was tired of doing it. In a way Loki is somewhat an equal now. But HWR forced it upon him.
I laughed uncontrollably when Loki started trying to speed up the process. It made me feel like someone who has to control every situation instead of letting things unfold as they should. It's not the message at all. It's actually one of mastery. He does a surprisingly good job at getting people to go along with his convoluted plan.
That didn’t happen, Kang did the impression of a variant (Victor). You’re incorporating Jonathan Majors but it’s still dumb- Majors was impersonating Kang who impersonated Timely who was impersonated by Majors, but that’s just dumb.
Thinking of the personal hell purgatory Loki was in is still sticking with me. When the title card of “centuries later” came up I almost felt sucked into the purgaotory with him. Still in shock best show to date from Marvel
With Loki being connected in all multiverses, he can create a copy of himself and travel in all the universes, moving back and forth in time because of his control of time slipping.
A shower thought I just had: Loki was confronted with the What, How, Why and Who and needed to understand them to fully understand the whole story, the big picture. When Loki went ahead and learnt everything about time and physics, he understood the What and How. When he finally confronted Kang, he understood the Why; it was all planned by Kang all along. And when he finally talked to Mobius and Silvie, he finally understood Who he needed to be. Thus he understood the whole story, he could rewrite it. He became the God of Stories.
I think he was great in Season 2. Too bad he is mired in all that lawsuit. It would be a waste of his talents if he was found guilty. I just hope that he didn't do it.
Loki who remains will assemble Avengers from every Branch As he is now the watcher (What If..? Uatu or create assistant like Uatu who will help him assemble) for Avengers Secret Wars. So now there will be more like his voice presence rather his appearance in the upcoming.
@@Uouttoooi think he’s innocent.. if there was compelling evidence showing guilt im sure he wouldve just taken the plea that was offered to him instead of wanting to go to trial. I just hope the jury gets it right. Ive been disappointed in jurors before i.e. Casey Anthony and Trayvon Martin.. innocent until proven guilty.. the burden of guilt is on the prosecution and they just lost their last case that was about r**e.. who knows what will happen this time though.. hoping for the best though
He's absolutely not the God of Stories. That appears to be common misinformation that people keep parroting. But people that actually read the comics, understand this not to be the case at all.
I absolutely loved this series so much. This season finale concluded Loki's story so beautifully with such a strong ending. The only thing I really hope for, is to see in some way Thor’s reaction to Loki and his characters change/development. 💚
It was crazy to see Loki agonizing, thinking he might have to kill Sylvie to realizing that he would have to sacrifice himself. This was an awesome series. Probably some of the best work In the MCU.
What’s so fantastic is that it completely reshapes my view of Loki from his very first appearance. See him seek that “glorious purpose” in Avengers when I thought of him as a villain only to achieve that purpose he always knew he was destined for is stellar writing.
Loki's arc was so well executed by Hiddleston, but it was only because writers did such an incredible job putting together such an engaging story. So many great stories begin with the question,"Who am I?" This series answered that in such a magnificent fashion for our beloved Loki
That final scene with Loki in the tree... I can't believe I'm crying again. The first season was awesome, and the second season blew the first one off the map.
I also like how Loki becomes the director of the crew, early in this episode and then climbed up to be the 'company head' in the end. 100/10 Greatest series on D+
One of my favourite details from this episode is that when Loki returns to the Loom for the final time, there's a shot where we focus on Loki and we can hear the "Welcome, He Who Remains" line from the Temporal Aura Scan and it's just a pretty beautiful way of foreshadowing how Loki will take over HWR's role.
This was amazing. The sad contentment on Loki's face, sacrificing himself to literally hold life together. It was fantastic, and the best thing Marvel have done since Endgame. What a character arc!
That scene where Loki turn into Yygdrassil was absolutely beautiful and chilling!! Just thinking about everything that Loki went through after all these years and ending it like that. He became one of the most iconic and important things in Nordic history. what a beautiful story they gave Loki, it was perfect!!!
I saw the ending differently, not that he over came his fear of loneliness but that he realized hes not alone, theyre always w him by him holding the branches and experiencing their lives in smart spurts he know hes w them and theyre w him.
@@tommyvercetti891 Oh. Stop with this inane hyperbole and slavish fanboying. Every time there is some thing good, a clown will always appear with some unnecessary hyperbole to prop it up while putting down the other.
@@eddiek8179 I'm fanboying just because IN MY OPINION it's the best thing mcu ever did?

WHO KNEW PEOPLE COULD HAVE DIFFERING OPINIONS THATS SO CRAZY OMG!🤯😱😱...And point me to where the flip I put down any other thing Marvel did ? You're just projecting , son..
I would love to see Loki in other MCU projects but him ascending to the throne of the entire multiverse looked pretty final to me. He can't just leave his place because the multiverse would die if he stopped pouring his magic into it. Maybe if the multiverse war is somehow won, the multiverse will be able to sustain itself without him?
@@carcas3dMaybe he doesnt even project himself, but takes the consciousness of the Loki within that Timeline. Being able to view infinite timelines at all time always, but can put his focus within certain ones.

If they don't give us season 3 it's okay. Season 2 really surpassed my expectations. The best ending in Marvel universe.
i hope they leave it this was the perfect ending
Endgame was the best ending until it ended up not being an ending
Spiderman no way home ending is very good too. Ending with what defines a hero is lacking in most of MCU movies, Thor 4 for example...
@AarushKumar-sf1vk yeah before marvel started kind of going down the drain I thought it was Endgame but I agree with you now.
If anything a ending with Sylvie eventually joining him by the tree so he doesn't have to sit alone and dwelling in a world of their illusions viewing the timelines of the multiverse like endless movienight. This ending was great too though. He is preventing future incursion events as the branches of the multiverse spread out.... infinitely.
That moment Loki opened the doors and heading towards the loom. Best scene ever. I never saw this version of Loki coming, its one of the best portrayed character ever.
For real I loved this episode so much
Loki transforming into the world tree might be the most powerful emotional scene in the entire MCU. I could not have asked for a better ending.
Cried bruh, imagery was too beautiful
Idts I think he should have died
@@udulapathirathna8969He fulfilled his glorious purpose. A purpose that his 2012 version could not have even imagined. That is an ending far more beautiful than his dying.
Well he didn’t become the world tree
He didn't transform though. He's just sitting and holding them lol
The ending was nothing less than perfection. I was in shock for like ten minutes after it ended. Glorious burden. Odin would be so proud of Loki.
But - remember - this was a variant. However, the Loki that died in Infinity War being the true Loki would have made Odin no Less Proud, as he did try to play to his Strength to save his Brother.
Loki could have given Thanos the Tesseract and washed his hands of it, saving himself. But instead, he stood up to Thanos and died for it. That is the mark of a warrior - to face impossible odds and still press on in spite of it. Loki would have been primed for Valhalla, and given the end of Love and Thunder - because of his actions - we may see Loki Prime return again! After all, Heimdall was also there, who died before him, so ... when they inevitably return, we shouldn't be surprised if Loki Prime returns as well, which could be influenced by Storyteller Loki if we want to keep his current persona, only still Prime Loki in most ways. Not only this, but his other honorable acts include
- him resurecting Surtur to help with Thor's plan to push forward with Ragnarok
- him helping the Revengers against Hela during Ragnarok
- him actually being on the ship at the end of Ragnarok, unlike him projecting in the circular prison in Saccar to save his skin
Death could change him the way it did Variant (Storyteller) Loki... and then again... slightly another version - We may see him resurrect as Kid-Loki and Storyteller may appear as Ikol for the Young Avengers version, advising the team that will defeat Kang! After All, Storyteller Loki can write his story now, which may mean he can affect things in the Prime storyline. Remember that Kid-Loki was a Hero in the comics.

I think it’s the same original Loki from endgame because when they went back in time for the affinity stones they messed up and Loki escaped so essentially he never made it to the point thanks killed him in turn changing the course of history
@@nathanberthiaume1317 but that's the confusing part, isn't it? It gets into retrocausality and all sorts of paradoxes.
The foreshadowing in the episode where Loki is trying to get Mobius to focus on HWR, and he says, “yeah but in order to do that, I need a Loki who remains”. This series is incredible. Loki’s transformation down the gangway is officially my favorite transformation of any character in any movie/series.
Gotta agree, it looked cool, slick and was a tually super meaningful and impactful
After watching this I can say with absolute certainty that Loki was the best thing Marvel has done since Endgame. It was a work of art. I wouldve paid to see it over and over in theaters.
From a technical standpoint? Yes. The story, the visuals, the narrative repercussions, all that good jazz. Definitely. But in terms of entertainment and fun, which to me are the most important aspects of media, no. Shang-Chi is still top for me. I'd say Loki S2 gets an 8, and when combined with S1 an 8.75.
Endgame wasn’t all that …

But he now knows physics and quantum mechanics
that part got me lmao, when Timely said it would take centuries, he actually took the time to review everything before attempting another Timely timeline fix just for it not to work out like he expected. Loki’s patience there must’ve been, impossible
Loki’s selfish want is to not be alone and the last thing he wants is a throne. However, his sacrifice to fulfil his glorious purpose was to sit all alone in a throne to protect the multiverse. I love this series.
Loki walking up the gangway and transforming was so badass. This is top tier Marvel.
one thing i really like about Loki's God of Stories appearance is that it has none of the usual pomposity his usual godly outfits have. it's not a finely stitched piece meant to make him look wealthy and important with lots of gold bits in it; it's fairly simple and humble, reflecting his growth as a character; a green cloak, muted colours and simple practical shoes. the garb of a simple storyteller, and not an arrogant godling
Comfortable clothes ideal for sitting on the throne.
Doesn't that make him one above all
After all sitting alone for all eternity you would want to be comfortable. Despite the character growth I think the clothes also represent that of comfort, in himself and the choice he has made.
If you go to comics explained he says that it's not actually Loki god of stories but a character known as the Custodian something where he sits on his throne and holds the multiverse together and that someone always has to be at the helm I know I'm A little off with the name of the character but that's the name more or less
@SirAdamusGames Yep, comfortable clothes, no ostentatiousness--yes true, except that he has a huge crown with big ol' horns! I guess he still just had to let some of his inner Loki out. Lol
Loki’s character growth these last 14 years has truly been GLORIOUS!!!

This episode should be up for an Emmy. It was so good.
I agree! I'm going to be watching the Emmys with intense attention this year.
The take away I got from this was that Loki ISN'T alone. He see and hears any of his friends that he wants to. Loki is the God of Stories and Master of Time. Fantastic series and thoroughly enjoyed it. Odin and Thor would be so proud. Fantastic journey, thank you.
This is by far the best take

In terms of the fear of being alone, I kind of got the feeling that at the end of it all he wasn’t alone. He could hear Mobius’ voice through the branches, and doubtless every one of his friends clearing their path on the timeline. I think now he is content to watch the stories of his friends, and those stories help him to not be alone.
Loki, the God of Stories.
I kinda disagree. You can see loki's eyes weeping as he hears those words from mobius. He didn't overcome his fear of being alone and he's definetely isn't happy. This isn't a happy ending for loki like most of other marvel movies, he accepted his burden because he knew only he can face the challenge of holding the multiverse together, therefore giving his friends a chance at happiness. At last he got his glourious purpose, and now he is cursed for all of eternity.
I completely disagree with this! But I do absolutely understand where you’re coming from ^^
I actually think you both are right. Why can't it be both? He may not have overcame his fear of being alone, but him being able to watch or monitor his friends on their timeline may provide him some solace. Both opinions can be right in the end.

Props to Loki for spending centuries, stuck in a loop of time, just learning how the loom works, and all the physics required for it.

@@carcas3dI said loki went and slipped to his mom and asked a magic question to help control time and break the loom.
No one mentioning that this was an option He Who Remains gave in the season 1 finale is surprising. He told them they could take over and run it which is essentially what Loki did in the end. It probably wasn’t in the way people expected, but it still happened.

@@aritramondal6942 He Who Remains never said or implied a specific way for them to do it though, so he left it up to them
@pilot8220 He wanted them to keep the loom. The reason he created it was to prevent the multiversal war. So it is pretty clear what he wanted - not infinite branches.
I'm impressed at the character development of Loki, from seeking power and dominion by any means, to selfless sacrifice at the cost of himself, for others. He went from troublesome villain to one of the most important heroes in the MCU. Way to keep the MCU alive production team.
Yes! His character development was so throughly thought through. From villain to mercurial anti-hero to the most important hero of timelines, of stories. Everything we love about him and all knew he was capable of was played out perfectly. 💚
Hiddleston’s performance as Loki may be some of the most beautiful and immersive acting. For someone who was always a big Loki fan, I can’t imagine a better actor for the role.
true, him and RDJ as Tony Stark as well
"Time is an illusion." and it's beautiful to see that the character who creates illusions now controls time. So that was character development at its finest. And I found it funny that he always wanted the throne and now he's firmly attached to one. It's interesting to see his wish come true, but it comes with enormous responsibility. Sensational series finale. I hope Marvel continues to build their movies so well after the low point of the last few years.
It’s very clear lokis makers and team are the ones to carry the MCU .
"Most purpose is more burden than glory"
He who remains said “I know Champ” endearingly. Like him and Loki had more history than the audience or Loki had seen yet.
I'd kinda thought after HWR telling Loki that, it indicated that he knew Loki was going to find a way to take over time like HWR initially wanted.
@@christopherquintana2967Idk if it's the way HWR wanted, because he showed his true colors when he indicated he didn't actually want to die. HWR even made it so that if he did die there would be consequences. So... Like Loki said, he changed the equation to his liking.
Something I’ve noted is that when Loki makes his final time slip back to the TVA, he is greeted by the announcement, “Welcome, He Who Remains.”

Not sure if it was mentioned but Loki got pruned because of the Tesseract/Space stone usage and the first time we see the Tesseract is in Captain America: The First Avenger where it was hidden in a relief carving of Yggdrasil where Red Skull found it. Loki is now the center of Yggdrasil.

@chelsearunyan Well with Hemsworth allegedly taking an extended hiatus from acting, and with the ending and the lack of future teases in this episode, I'm honestly under the impression that they're done. At least for the foreseeable future. 😔
A glorious way to go out, if it is.
Loki may not "be" everywhere, but he IS everywhere. Watching and listening to everything
Loki has genuinely been the best thing marvel has come out with since endgame, if not ever. This production team needs to be in charge of more content in the future, because they definitely have the right idea, especially considering their standpoint, with the "nuking and episode" and moving past it to make an amazing story.
Anyone else notice how when the timeline was based on Kang’s time loom the TVA members were told to prune. Which in botany means the process of selectively removing certain parts of a plant. It’s cool how Loki’s remaking of the timeline to resemble Yggdrasil (a tree) and TVA members are instead told to essentially water the tree, and let it grow.
When Loki Season 2 started, Mobius literally guessed the solution which we've got in the end. Instead of focusing on He Who Remains, Mobius says "I need Loki who remains". This is some kind of replacement of one person with another and now I realize that entire season was Loki replacing Kang step by step.
Epic Series! Beautiful ending scene and Glorious conclusion! And the proof that MCU can have some good and emotionally fulfilled stories after Endgame!
Great catch!
Loki series is written with love, heart and soul.
Jonathan Majors kills it with his acting as He who remains. Such a good actor
Something that I thought about as soon as I saw Loki sit down on the throne was the scene with Sif in S1xE1. Loki saw being (physically) alone as a form of torture, but now that he has realized his true glorious purpose (protecting his friends), being physically alone no longer matters because he will always have the memories of his loved ones. I think this series did an excellent job in showing loneliness does not come from the amount of people you are physically around, but more so the amount of people that you have connected with.
This is one of my favourite comments
When Loki said , " the last thing thing i want is the throne"
I felt it.
Coz he really meant it when he said it.
When Loki Loki became the hero of the MCU, I felt it.
@@swah47the first time he said it and meant it. shit was beautiful
The moment he said that, he was ready for a throne.
And it was deep that the throne he got was a selfless one of amence importance, that hardly anyone knows about 😢
Can’t stop thinking about Odin’s quote, “All this because Loki desires a throne.” And then to see such bold rejection of that idea from Loki in the citadel, only for him to end up there anyway? Excellent poetic writing. Especially because that version of Loki would discover that what he thought of as his glorious purpose would become his greatest burden.
Reminds me of something one of my best friends told me a few years ago: When you no longer want something you desired is when you most deserve it.
Loki is the MVP of the multiverse as large
Literally carrying the entire MCU
THE WHOLE BACKBONE
this series is phenomenal!!!
My biggest hope is that this Loki can be seen and acknowledged by the OG super heroes somehow - so they know, and more importantly, he knows they know, that he is accepted as a hero and not just a villian.
Don't think they would do that. Besides loki does not need recognition from the heroes in the first place. It's his friends that he cares about and they all witness the event unfold in front of their eyes. That's what matter though
@@zulhilmi5787Nah they for sure want the audience to see a moment of Thor and Loki

so true like I had chills watching the ending, I reaaly hope they oush themselves and allow time for good work like this to be made (and pay their VFX teams!)
Ok, hear me out...
If Loki is holding every strand of the Multiverse together, wouldn't he be able to project his consciousness into any of those strands at any point in time? His physical body would still be holding the multiverse together but his consciousness could be anywhere it wants to be therefore he could still be active every now and then in the MCU without messing up this perfect character arc. Maybe a reunion with Thor?
Just like Wanda did in Doctor strange 2. 💀
I 100% think they will utilize that idea, have him become somewhat of a mentor figure/advice giver. Everyone once in a while, the next to all knowing Loki God of Stories drops in the help get characters out of one line of thinking and into another to solve their problems.

I loved the finale and series as a whole. One thing I loved is around 34 minutes: Timely’s head is in the temporal aura scanner and right when the computer says “Welcome, He Who Remains” Loki timeslips in. It’s perfect because now he is the He Who Remains.
Another bit I loved was the end from ep 5 was when Loki says “it’s not about where, when, or why… it’s about who.” Which I thought was a cheeky reference to Doctor Who, because Loki’s essentially a Timelord now.
Related to this, in the first episode of the season they foreshadow the ending when Mobius tells Loki, who's still timeslipping uncontrollably, that they first "need a Loki who remains." before they can worry about He Who Remains.

@lastsaviour4916 I don't think he saw him as equal. I'm pretty sure he SET him on this path. Constructed all of this in a way for Loki to gain these abilities and made him sacrifice himself for the hard choices cuz he was tired of doing it. In a way Loki is somewhat an equal now. But HWR forced it upon him.
He deserves an Emmy for this
I laughed uncontrollably when Loki started trying to speed up the process. It made me feel like someone who has to control every situation instead of letting things unfold as they should. It's not the message at all. It's actually one of mastery. He does a surprisingly good job at getting people to go along with his convoluted plan.
"Scan your temporal aura in this fine Machine. It looks... Lethal. It is absolutely safe"

For real, I was so freaking shocked. He spent so long trying to find a way
With Loki being connected in all multiverses, he can create a copy of himself and travel in all the universes, moving back and forth in time because of his control of time slipping.
A shower thought I just had: Loki was confronted with the What, How, Why and Who and needed to understand them to fully understand the whole story, the big picture.
When Loki went ahead and learnt everything about time and physics, he understood the What and How.
When he finally confronted Kang, he understood the Why; it was all planned by Kang all along.
And when he finally talked to Mobius and Silvie, he finally understood Who he needed to be. Thus he understood the whole story, he could rewrite it. He became the God of Stories.
I agreed until the very last part. He doesn't write the timelines, he just holds oversees them and keeps them together

It was crazy to see Loki agonizing, thinking he might have to kill Sylvie to realizing that he would have to sacrifice himself. This was an awesome series. Probably some of the best work In the MCU.
Imagine if Captain America found out what Loki did in the end. "Well, look at that, I never thought Loki would make the sacrificial play. "
Reminiscent of Clint and Nat rushing to the cliff ...
What’s so fantastic is that it completely reshapes my view of Loki from his very first appearance. See him seek that “glorious purpose” in Avengers when I thought of him as a villain only to achieve that purpose he always knew he was destined for is stellar writing.
Loki's arc was so well executed by Hiddleston, but it was only because writers did such an incredible job putting together such an engaging story.
So many great stories begin with the question,"Who am I?"
This series answered that in such a magnificent fashion for our beloved Loki
That final scene with Loki in the tree... I can't believe I'm crying again. The first season was awesome, and the second season blew the first one off the map.
I also like how Loki becomes the director of the crew, early in this episode and then climbed up to be the 'company head' in the end. 100/10 Greatest series on D+
One of my favourite details from this episode is that when Loki returns to the Loom for the final time, there's a shot where we focus on Loki and we can hear the "Welcome, He Who Remains" line from the Temporal Aura Scan and it's just a pretty beautiful way of foreshadowing how Loki will take over HWR's role.
I loved Tom's dry humor speech when he tells Timely he's so brave! 😆
This was amazing. The sad contentment on Loki's face, sacrificing himself to literally hold life together. It was fantastic, and the best thing Marvel have done since Endgame. What a character arc!
Best story I've seen in a long time. Animation, 10. Voice acting, 10. Emotional connection, 100.
That scene where Loki turn into Yygdrassil was absolutely beautiful and chilling!! Just thinking about everything that Loki went through after all these years and ending it like that. He became one of the most iconic and important things in Nordic history. what a beautiful story they gave Loki, it was perfect!!!
I saw the ending differently, not that he over came his fear of loneliness but that he realized hes not alone, theyre always w him by him holding the branches and experiencing their lives in smart spurts he know hes w them and theyre w him.
Great take and I 100% agree with it!
This felt like a series finale, was amazing and I'm sad if it's done. 😢 best thing in the mcu since endgame
Since endgame? No, since ever.
@@tommyvercetti891 Oh. Stop with this inane hyperbole and slavish fanboying. Every time there is some thing good, a clown will always appear with some unnecessary hyperbole to prop it up while putting down the other.
@@eddiek8179 I'm fanboying just because IN MY OPINION it's the best thing mcu ever did? A fun fact for you on that note: did you know that people have their own tastes, perspectives and opinions on things that may be different than those of others? OMG ISN'T THAT SO SURPRISING 🤯 🤯 🤯??!! WHO KNEW PEOPLE COULD HAVE DIFFERING OPINIONS THATS SO CRAZY OMG!🤯😱😱...And point me to where the flip I put down any other thing Marvel did ? You're just projecting , son..
@eddiek8179 nah😅 , This is the best marvel project ever
This episode isn’t just about Loki’s glorious purpose… it’s everyone’s 😭
I’m excited for the future of Loki in the MCU.
Seems Loki is past present and future of the MCU now.
The pasta, present and future.
@@griffgames9538BAHAHA
I really hope we see him again
I would love to see Loki in other MCU projects but him ascending to the throne of the entire multiverse looked pretty final to me. He can't just leave his place because the multiverse would die if he stopped pouring his magic into it. Maybe if the multiverse war is somehow won, the multiverse will be able to sustain itself without him?
Loki might be experiencing all of the timelines in some way. So he might not be alone at all, but instead - he is with everybody.
Iam pretty sure he can at least project a copy of him on 1 timeline if he master concentrating on holding the branches long enough
Love this!
Burdened with Glorious Purpose. Incredible!!
@@carcas3dMaybe he doesnt even project himself, but takes the consciousness of the Loki within that Timeline. Being able to view infinite timelines at all time always, but can put his focus within certain ones.
@@dippin4dots well generally we have the same idea in mind I just use the word project just so even without Loki he can still insert himself
