This was tragically uplifting, satisfyingly tragic, and really felt as much like a Benson and Moorhead movie as it did a Marvel series. Loved that little taste of dread that came with the noble sacrifice to an eternity of glorious purpose!
I understand that the TVA is out there hunting Kang variants now to stop them fucking up the multiverse, while Loki stops the branches from dying by keeping other things in check with his magic.
I’m guessing Loki is able to beat the scaling issue of infinite number of universes through infinite magic the multiverse contains. Just a bunch of speculation here.
I loved how they merged Loki/Yggdrasil and the Merlin mythology all together.
Merlin, the legend goes, is imprisoned in an oak tree, tortured for eternity by thousands of needles piercing his flesh.
So towards the end the time travel aspects of all this made less and less sense, but hey, its a show, I honestly do not mind that. Time travel is always a bit like that. And maybe my brain is a bit slow today since I am home with Covid.
Overall I think really nice season. From what I remember I was more impressed with the first one, but Season 2 was good. I guess no Season 03 then, unless its about how Loki gets out of this again, ever? Hows that working in the comics?
It was entertaining and I enjoyed watching the characters. But all time related stuff seemed to not follow any logic and just do whatever was needed. I would have liked if it was more coherent.
The way I look at it, Time works in the TVA the same way as it does in Back to the Future, which Ant-Man was surprised to find out was bull shit in Endgame. It can do this because it exists outside of time.
They say there’s no time in the TVA and people don’t age there, but events still need to have a sequence and there are no alternate TVAs out there.
Now Loki is sitting in the position of He Who Remains and is acting as the temporal loom himself.
This is interesting because if Marvel ends up dropping Jonathan Majors, The Kang Dynasty could become The Loki Dynasty and I don’t think anyone would have a problem with that.
Great, now I want green spaghetti.
You will like pesto!
I do like it :)
this was just so good, made up for the very weird start imo
So we have Loki replacing He Who Remains
