remember, since loki is a ice giant, unlike Asgardians, ice giants are immortal, which is why he is unaffected by the time radiation. he literally can not die of old age, and because of his Asgardian magic, he will only get stronger as he gets older.
Dude can stop time, pause time, rewind time, go to the beginning of time and the end of time. Dude had absolute control of time yet chose to be selfless and protect the timelines. Best character development. Odin, Frigga, and Thor would be proud if they ever saw him.
Yeah. If he wanted to, he could've went back in time killed the avengers and killed Thanos then taken the infinity gauntlet for himself but instead he chose to save all the timelines at the cost of being alone forever. He literally gave up nearly infinite power to save everybody. You don't get a better redemption story than that.
He sacrificed everything. He previously said that his biggest fear was to remain alone. And then he chose to remain alone forever in order to save his friends and the multiverse's free will. He definitely redeemed himself
@@santimiranda9713 well other loki yes but this loki ? probably we will see him like 30 movies later until the new new new avenger have reach enough power to meet these enitities
@@santimiranda9713Don't worry we will see him. For sure some of the variants of kang will know that there's a TVA and will try to claim the throne on loki. Because to win the Multiversal war is to make your universe ONLY 1 SACRED TIMELINE and killing the others.
The most heartbreaking part is that even after he said and meant that he didn't want the throne... He realizes that taking the throne is the only way to win... even if he sacrifices everything... This ending had me in tears
The thing is Loki always just wanted the throne, but he never wanted the responsibility that came with it. That's why he didn't really do anything as the King of Asgard. This time when he got the throne it was BECAUSE Loki took on that responsibility. This is the throne that he deserves, not because he took it or it was given to him, but because Loki chose to take on the responsibility.
😂 He's from Earth 616 the same earth that defeated Kang to Thor Thanos killed him but bro used the space stone to escape in Endgame so technically he never died he just evaded he's death in infinity war.
Seeing how far Loki has come in the MCU, he is the perfect example of the line "You either die a villain or you live long enough to see yourself become the hero"
It's bigger sacrifice than tony stark Dying is better than acting as a temporal loop for endless time Loki is basically stuck there for eternity till he is replaced
@@ishanjaiswal9041 Tony Stark don't have the power like Loki to do this. If he had he would do the same thing. So the sacrifice of both Tony and Loki is equal.

No words for this series... Loki went from cliché villain to "owner of the multiverse". The greatest character development I've ever seen. Simply epic!
he doesn't own every timelines he has limited timelines haven't you paid attention to the aftermath? TVA were trying to not be found by Kang variants@@FindMeInsanity
I wanna say how ironic and narratively creative that Loki “rewove” the universe to resemble Yggdrasil, the Tree of Life in Norse Mythology. It is fitting given the nature of the tree which is said to embody the Norse view of the cosmos. Seeing as we never saw this tree in any of the Marvel movies and the fact that the 9 realms appear to be planets in the MCU, it only makes sense that the MCU multiverse is embodied by this tree.
Yeah I was watching this with my sister cause she was just in the kitchen across the living room washing dishes and she does know a little bit about Norse mythology and when we saw the tree I was "oh lol Yggdrasil". And she was like; "oh yeah that's cool cause tree of life and something like that huh?"
This tree was actually mentioned multiple times it’s pretty easy to forget, but the tree was in spiderverse as well as mentioned in thor by thor in explaining drawings to jane foster and also a depiction in dark world. Very small, however, glad to see it’s taking a bigger role in the MCU
Loki is now the protector of the multiverse. And with a phrase that defines the last episode said by Thanos. Once it was: ''Difficult decisions require strong wills''.
Maybe. But I don’t know. God of Stories is just way to overpowered for the MCU. There would be no stakes at all. He would just be able to do anything at will making it pointless to do Kang Dynasty. I believe he’s just hiding the timelines using his magic.
@@OutsideTheRopeshe's not editing anything though, he's simply keeping the timelines from collapsing. He's given everyone free will and allowed for chaos, regardless of what happens.
@@christiancarlbaugbog7744 At the end of episode in the TVA they say that they are hunting Kang Variants. They even ask if the variants know of them. Which is why I believe he’s hiding the sacred timeline away from the multiverse. In his last conversation with Silvie she convinced Loki to give them a chance to fight, then after he destroyed the loom she says, he’s giving us a chance. It’s definitely not over.
Never in the history of my life would I expect Loki to do something so incredibly selfless and heroic, but here we are. This just proves the positive impact that the humanity of his friends had on him. He knew he would outlive most of them anyway, so if there was one way to ensure they lived a fulfilling life protected from the Kangs, he would do it. It's absolutely mindblowing how far Loki as a character has come within just 2 seasons of TV. He has truly found his glorious purpose.
This Loki is insanely old, right? Like he’s spent an unknown amount of time in the TVA not counting the centuries he spent mastering OB’s tech. He might even be older than Stephen Strange at this point, who spent thousands of years bargaining with Dormammu.
He also spent an unknown amount of time trying to reason with Sylvie at the end of time. Long enough where he mastered time, like being able to stop time. That could have been a thousand years for all we know
Aw man, I wouldn’t say Infinity War but definitely better than Endgame. I’d say it’s really in-between the two it was that good at least for me generally speaking.
Someone floated a theory that because Loki sits as a kind of custodian of time the Time Stone gets it's green color and that blew my mind. Any time someone uses the Time Stone they are literally tapping into Loki's power.
This is quite possibly the single greatest anything the MCU has ever produced, I seriously believe these two seasons are better than both Infinity War and Endgame. Tom Hiddleston’s Loki has grown into one of the greatest characters and performances in the whole of the MCU, right up there shoulder to shoulder with RDJ’s Tony Stark.
I haven't felt so emotional about an MCU project in freaking years, this is the real MARVEL, beautifully written stories about characters that we can relate to done by talented people who are actually PASSIONATE about it.
The fact the CGI in this show is way better than the Marvels shocks me honestly. Like the shot with him walking up to his throne while pulling the branch timelines is one of the most epic and awesome scenes in Marvel I have seen.
The Marvels had a song and dance segment. No amount of storytelling can justify that stupidity. Bottom line is that not a lot effort was made to make it a legitimately good movie, whereas a lot of thought went into making this series both logical and impactful.
The Marvels was ment to be stupid,they need those type of movies to have their stupid crowd remember their name so when they actually put money on a proper film they will get their butts on the cinema
This has become one of my favorite scenes in the MCU. Everything that Loki standed for, everything he once desired and further what he wanted to redeem came to this inevitable fate. He finally fullfilled his glorious purpose.
The fact that he originally auditioned for thor makes this scene so much more impactful. He was meant for this role as he's carrying the mcu on his shoulders.
Loki has been both literally and figuratively carrying the MCU for the past few years, with the obvious help from GotG Vol. 3, Moonknight, and Spider-Man No Way Home. Now we got Deadpool and Wolverine who will fix the MCU
@@RitheeshJegadeeshyes but what Yggdrasil represents in this continuity is the a branchable multiverse. It’s not like kang multiverse, it’s a multiverse of free will that can branch.
He's not Kang, he's not a god, he's not He Who Remains. He's who we need, who we deserve. He will sit upon his throne forever for his glorious purpose of allowing our stories to exist.
Just watched the last episode with my parents. I was NOT expecting the ending to play out the way it did. My jaw was dropped and I had tears streaming down my face. What an incredible show this turned out to be.
Love the Ygdrassil reference in MCU with Thor and Loki. Thor in Love and Thunder passed his powers to those kids visualizing the Ygdrassil glowing in lightning, and here Loki pulls the universe branches to create a mutliversal Ygdrassil. Now if they conclude Thor's arc in the MCU with the RUNE KING storyline then I will be a happy man. They both deserve their send off as Gods!
I hope that once Thor is pulled into multiversal war with Kangs, someone from TVA takes him to Loki so that they can be reunited once more. Even creators of the show wanted this reunion to happen, although not here yet.
Not only did Loki learn all that quantum physics from Ob, he saw Kang equations. Plus Asguardian magic gets greater as they age, and Loki spent centuries practicing temporal manipulation. Every step of the road made him able to do this.
After seeing this epic masterpiece, i believe it's time for Chris Hemsworth's Thor to get a proper great character development and truly shine just as much as Loki did before he stops playing the role. He has to become the worthy mature Thor we all know and love, once and for all permanently, no more character regression and assassination. He should become *the Rune King Thor.*
If that’s going to happen, Taika Waititi CANNOT be anywhere near Thor. Taika is one of the most juvenile (and low key grimy) directors in all of Hollywood. He would NEVER allow Thor to have a dramatic, respectful, emotional, and serious send off like Loki. I honestly partially blame Taika for making the MCU as juvenile as it has been for the last half decade. After Ragnarok did well (which I honestly have no clue why), Marvel Studios created a formula that would mimic Taika’s constant in your face slapstick comedy, bright colors, and grand cgi spectacle. In Taika’s movies, mostly nothing matters and it’s all done for mindless entertainment… which is now exactly what the MCU has become. Thankfully they’re seemingly trying to get back on a more focused and dramatic path. Hopefully that means Taika won’t be invited back. If there was ever a time to send Chris Hemsworth’s Thor off as Rune King Thor, it’s now! I think it would be very poetic and a fitting end for Chris’ legacy.
@@buccaneercatI know MCU Thor has probably suffered enough loss but I’d love an Old King Thor film in the style of Logan. I honestly wish they would’ve saved The God Butcher arc for that & just went R-rated by using with the comic storyline, rather than wasting 616 Gorr like they did.
Why does this show look so good? I'm not just talking about CGI, I mean lighting, cinematography, editing. It's so insanely better than rest of MCU projects (non-Netflix related) because even their best movies look like asphalt.
because Waldron wrote a series that had a concrete plan and a cohesive vision that everyone on the production understood. It's essentially an entire series dedicated to fleshing out Loki and psychoanalyzing him
@@theutheone Good summary. It's like, writing a whole book from beginning to end. You have a vision and you need to see it through. Rule by committee, twitter feuding, and corporate kneejerk interference ruin a lot of good series.
@@theutheone The credit goes to Eric Martin actually. Waldron actually messed up Season 1, made Loki Sylvie's sidekick. In season 2 Eric Martin made sure that the spotlight was on Loki the entire time and he had authority.
I had nothing but goosebumps the whole way through this episode. I can honestly say it’s the best thing Marvel has put out to date. Loki finally found his glorious purpose and my goodness, it’s beautiful.
To think, until just "recently" this Loki was about to destroy NYC and lead an invasion. Wild how 2 versions of Loki ended up having AMAZING character development.
This is still the original Loki but from a different point in time. Not a separate timeline. He remodeled the tva and saw his future in the sacred timeline, but then rewrote the entire thing by becoming the god of the multiverse.
@@funnykitten2927basically time manipulation, I believe he can also do what He who Remains did, which is control the multiverses narratives to extent and Time slipping. Not sure what else he can do now but I'm sure he's acquired more power we haven't seen.
@@justadude7018 he's not the fking god of stories. Can y'all stop saying that? These are 2 different versions of him, but of course they have similarities. God of time suits him more, but even so, it's probably not it
Loki becomes a true hero. Saving the universe and timelines from destruction, by holding them together and created the new world tree. After all the years of being a villain, he has found his purpose.
the moment when he stopped Sylvie in time without any device like he who remains, I was damn impressed, but the ending was far more greater than that...goosebumps.
Godhood is making self sacrifice. It funny how it use be the other way around. Look at past how Gods use act. Odin did, and his Father before him and his father etc.
Itll be strange now rewatching the older movies where he is an antagonist, knowing that he will become a hero with more impact on the universe than any other character. I love it.
the vigilante lost to ultron with the gems the tva already collected this as a clipboard and loki is superior Arishem is only a type capable of creating the universe, the same with eternity, he has not been shown capable of being beyond the multiverse.
Only way I can describe this ending is absolutely beautiful. I simply could not imagine a more perfect ending and story arc to a character I otherwise didn’t care about. Loki is now easily one of my favorites
Aunt may: I believe there's a hero in all of us gives us strength makes us Noble and finally allows us to died even though sometimes we have to be steady and give up the things we the most even our dreams
Loki weaving time itself into a new system and becoming like a God of all these peoples stories has to be one of the most epic things Ive seen in all of Marvel
tom is an amazing actor ..he's efforts playing loki is truly outstanding no one but him could have done any better...im glad people are recognizing him...cant let thor have all the glory after all ;)
What I like about the time slipping scenes and him learning about physics from OB is the fact that they make a great excuse for Tom's irl aging. He didn't change THAT MUCH since Avengers, but just enough for you to start noticing the wrinkles, more tired eyes, and overall rough face compared to how he should look between Avengers and Season 1 of his show. It is especially noticable once he finally wears the crown again and screams. Now it makes sense. He was similarly as old as Thor, who said he was 1 500 years old in IW. Give it few centuries here, few centuries there, and Loki could be 2-3 000 years old. When arguing with Odin in The Dark World about being gods, Loki says that Asgardians live for "give or take 5000 years" compared to humans, so when you do the math, Loki should be in his PRIME age by now compared to being a young adult in Thor. Loki is basically in the best shape he's ever been, at peak of his life with insane powers and knowledge, even wisdom thanks to his character arc. He is the most mature god of his entire pantheon, I bet he even surpassed Odin. Far from the young boy and resentful schemer.
i like to theorise that since now he exists completely out of any sense of time (or at the end of it), he no longer ages. a grim fate but it would be weird if this kind of role required successors...
He's not really an asgardian though, he's a frost giant and we don't know how long they live in the mcu (although maybe we can assume the same kind of lifespan)
Surprised so many fan girls are still watching MCU after endgame. Since thats when MCU died according to all the lil girls saying Loki is carrying the MCU hahaha sorry not sorry
This was by far Marvel's best storyline and redemption arc. This series was phenomenal and godly in it's truest nature. From Loki saying - "You're all Beneath me" in Avengers to "The sun will shine again on us brother" in Infinity war to Loki implying - "You're all with me ❤️" in this series finale, what a great character development! Hats off to the years of work done by the writers. I wonder what Hulk would say when he watches this season finale - Puny god no more 😅
Crazy how Loki went from being a villain the big bad of phase 1 to now being a hero and protector of the multiverse in the multiverse saga. Better hero and character development then any avenger in my opinion.
If you notice they are turning characters into the manifestation of the infinity stones. Loki is time, Wanda is reality, and with vision returning in a upcoming show that would fill in mind.
This is the perfect ending for the Loki character as a whole he finally after a thousand years gets to have a throne and he’s regretting every minute of it
Loki always wanted the power that came with throne but before this, never the responsibility that came with it. That's why Loki just goofed off before Thor came back to expose him in Thor Ragnarok.

Loki is the only thing that hold MCU together. Have you seen other MCU movies and shows? Its worse.
Aw man, I wouldn’t say Infinity War but definitely better than Endgame. I’d say it’s really in-between the two it was that good at least for me generally speaking.
I agree with you bro.Actually I’m not marvel fan but I freaking love this Loki show.
Someone floated a theory that because Loki sits as a kind of custodian of time the Time Stone gets it's green color and that blew my mind. Any time someone uses the Time Stone they are literally tapping into Loki's power.
You could say that anyone using the power of time outside the TVA is essentially using the lokiforce..
This is quite possibly the single greatest anything the MCU has ever produced, I seriously believe these two seasons are better than both Infinity War and Endgame.
Tom Hiddleston’s Loki has grown into one of the greatest characters and performances in the whole of the MCU, right up there shoulder to shoulder with RDJ’s Tony Stark.
I haven't felt so emotional about an MCU project in freaking years, this is the real MARVEL, beautifully written stories about characters that we can relate to done by talented people who are actually PASSIONATE about it.
Loki achieved something many of his counterparts wanted. GLORIOUS PUPOSE!
The fact the CGI in this show is way better than the Marvels shocks me honestly. Like the shot with him walking up to his throne while pulling the branch timelines is one of the most epic and awesome scenes in Marvel I have seen.
The Marvels had a song and dance segment. No amount of storytelling can justify that stupidity. Bottom line is that not a lot effort was made to make it a legitimately good movie, whereas a lot of thought went into making this series both logical and impactful.
The Marvels was ment to be stupid,they need those type of movies to have their stupid crowd remember their name so when they actually put money on a proper film they will get their butts on the cinema
what's.. the marvels? i've never even heard of it.
Yes i agree it is amazing and the music goes with it so well. I wanted to cry lol it was so epic... Best ever!
And don't forget the cgi for the gold like substance,cherry on top
Haven’t had a character/redemption arc this good in Marvel since Tony. Absolutely brilliant storytelling that can only be told through years of films
This has become one of my favorite scenes in the MCU. Everything that Loki standed for, everything he once desired and further what he wanted to redeem came to this inevitable fate. He finally fullfilled his glorious purpose.
The fact that he originally auditioned for thor makes this scene so much more impactful. He was meant for this role as he's carrying the mcu on his shoulders.
Loki has been both literally and figuratively carrying the MCU for the past few years, with the obvious help from GotG Vol. 3, Moonknight, and Spider-Man No Way Home. Now we got Deadpool and Wolverine who will fix the MCU

Loki made the timlinea tree so it could grow as many branches as it needed to
It looks more like the tree that holds the nine realms in Norse Mythology
It's yggdrasil
@@RitheeshJegadeeshyes but what Yggdrasil represents in this continuity is the a branchable multiverse. It’s not like kang multiverse, it’s a multiverse of free will that can branch.
Something WHR paved the way for
@@bruhda7469 A tree can grow has many branches has it wants.
He's not Kang, he's not a god, he's not He Who Remains. He's who we need, who we deserve. He will sit upon his throne forever for his glorious purpose of allowing our stories to exist.
He is a God... but not god of mischief anymore. now he is the god of all times
god of story

Indeed and truly, The glorious purpose
Just watched the last episode with my parents. I was NOT expecting the ending to play out the way it did. My jaw was dropped and I had tears streaming down my face. What an incredible show this turned out to be.
Never imagined when watching avengers as a kid that Loki would sacrifice everything and become a hero what a amazing character he has become.
Love the Ygdrassil reference in MCU with Thor and Loki. Thor in Love and Thunder passed his powers to those kids visualizing the Ygdrassil glowing in lightning, and here Loki pulls the universe branches to create a mutliversal Ygdrassil. Now if they conclude Thor's arc in the MCU with the RUNE KING storyline then I will be a happy man. They both deserve their send off as Gods!
I hope that once Thor is pulled into multiversal war with Kangs, someone from TVA takes him to Loki so that they can be reunited once more. Even creators of the show wanted this reunion to happen, although not here yet.
From Marvel's greatest villain to perhaps its greatest hero. I salute thee, Tom. Your character was unparalleled 😊
Such a bittersweet ending for him.
@@mavvynne444 I think it's just sweet. He found his glorious purpose.
@@CramcrumBrewbringerBut he suffers for eternity...
This is what a Glorious Purpose looks like
Not only did Loki learn all that quantum physics from Ob, he saw Kang equations. Plus Asguardian magic gets greater as they age, and Loki spent centuries practicing temporal manipulation. Every step of the road made him able to do this.
THIS
THIS right here is how you give a proper send off to a character that's been around since the beginning of the MCU
After seeing this epic masterpiece, i believe it's time for Chris Hemsworth's Thor to get a proper great character development and truly shine just as much as Loki did before he stops playing the role. He has to become the worthy mature Thor we all know and love, once and for all permanently, no more character regression and assassination. He should become *the Rune King Thor.*
If that’s going to happen, Taika Waititi CANNOT be anywhere near Thor. Taika is one of the most juvenile (and low key grimy) directors in all of Hollywood. He would NEVER allow Thor to have a dramatic, respectful, emotional, and serious send off like Loki.
I honestly partially blame Taika for making the MCU as juvenile as it has been for the last half decade. After Ragnarok did well (which I honestly have no clue why), Marvel Studios created a formula that would mimic Taika’s constant in your face slapstick comedy, bright colors, and grand cgi spectacle. In Taika’s movies, mostly nothing matters and it’s all done for mindless entertainment… which is now exactly what the MCU has become.
Thankfully they’re seemingly trying to get back on a more focused and dramatic path. Hopefully that means Taika won’t be invited back. If there was ever a time to send Chris Hemsworth’s Thor off as Rune King Thor, it’s now! I think it would be very poetic and a fitting end for Chris’ legacy.
@@buccaneercatI know MCU Thor has probably suffered enough loss but I’d love an Old King Thor film in the style of Logan. I honestly wish they would’ve saved The God Butcher arc for that & just went R-rated by using with the comic storyline, rather than wasting 616 Gorr like they did.
Why does this show look so good? I'm not just talking about CGI, I mean lighting, cinematography, editing. It's so insanely better than rest of MCU projects (non-Netflix related) because even their best movies look like asphalt.
because Waldron wrote a series that had a concrete plan and a cohesive vision that everyone on the production understood. It's essentially an entire series dedicated to fleshing out Loki and psychoanalyzing him
Its up there with the netflix shows
@@marvelousdceditsLoki is better than Netflix shows. Better than daredevil too
@@theutheone Good summary. It's like, writing a whole book from beginning to end. You have a vision and you need to see it through. Rule by committee, twitter feuding, and corporate kneejerk interference ruin a lot of good series.
@@theutheone The credit goes to Eric Martin actually. Waldron actually messed up Season 1, made Loki Sylvie's sidekick. In season 2 Eric Martin made sure that the spotlight was on Loki the entire time and he had authority.
Loki literally went "Fine, I'll do it myself"
Loki is now an entity multiversal being thanos is like an ant to loki
@@iamsadiq4343 how about hitle-r? can loki kill him too?
@@iamsadiq4343 he stuck in the chair can't even move what good is that then thanos.
His entire life he wanted a throne and power to rule. The minute he didn’t want it anymore and became selfless he got everything he ever dreamed of.
Yggdrasil, mother of forest, tree of life, yeaahh that was good Presentation for what loki become
I had nothing but goosebumps the whole way through this episode. I can honestly say it’s the best thing Marvel has put out to date. Loki finally found his glorious purpose and my goodness, it’s beautiful.
Iron Man Solution: Build another of these chairs
To think, until just "recently" this Loki was about to destroy NYC and lead an invasion.
Wild how 2 versions of Loki ended up having AMAZING character development.
This is still the original Loki but from a different point in time. Not a separate timeline. He remodeled the tva and saw his future in the sacred timeline, but then rewrote the entire thing by becoming the god of the multiverse.
Not only did Loki redeem himself, he became one of the strongest characters in the mcu
I hope we see him again.
Wait what are his powers now
@@funnykitten2927he's the god of stories now
@@funnykitten2927basically time manipulation, I believe he can also do what He who Remains did, which is control the multiverses narratives to extent and Time slipping. Not sure what else he can do now but I'm sure he's acquired more power we haven't seen.
@@justadude7018 he's not the fking god of stories. Can y'all stop saying that? These are 2 different versions of him, but of course they have similarities. God of time suits him more, but even so, it's probably not it
The unprecedented extraordinary legendary scene ever. And the self-sacrificing is so touching.
Heartbreak of people in true love often leads them to such a point that makes them realise that they are meant for a greater cause.
Loki becomes a true hero. Saving the universe and timelines from destruction, by holding them together and created the new world tree. After all the years of being a villain, he has found his purpose.
the moment when he stopped Sylvie in time without any device like he who remains, I was damn impressed, but the ending was far more greater than that...goosebumps.
Loki went from viewing godhood as a right and privilege to a responsibility that requires a major self-sacrifice
Godhood is making self sacrifice. It funny how it use be the other way around. Look at past how Gods use act. Odin did, and his Father before him and his father etc.
‘You either die a Villain or live long enough to see yourself become the Hero…’
Itll be strange now rewatching the older movies where he is an antagonist, knowing that he will become a hero with more impact on the universe than any other character. I love it.
He’s literally the strongest being in the MCU now, at least that we know of.
Isn't the Watcher above him?
what about eternity and arishem
@@extremepower5765 Watcher watches the universes loki holds all of them together
calm down man
He Who Remains still the man with the best knowledge of time in the multiverse
only USA court can stop him
the vigilante lost to ultron with the gems the tva already collected this as a clipboard and loki is superior
Arishem is only a type capable of creating the universe, the same with eternity, he has not been shown capable of being beyond the multiverse.
For you, for all of us... yes, Loki! You did it!
Wow and to think this was a variant of 2012 Loki not too long ago, not the original MCU timeline one. He truly was burdened with glorious purpose. ❤️
Only way I can describe this ending is absolutely beautiful. I simply could not imagine a more perfect ending and story arc to a character I otherwise didn’t care about. Loki is now easily one of my favorites
I like how it looks like yggdrasil at the end there.
Looks like he made his own version of Yggdrasil.
2:08 Loki: The god of Stories, of universes, of realities.
Sylvie: You just want his throne
Loki: That is the last thing I want
*Gets the throne*
The way Loki just saved the multiverse, becoming himself the "Yggdrasil" of Marvel
Just... So epic
This series was written by people who love comics and it shows! Fantastic ending!
and dr who
Glorious ending
@@Yohan-yc2bv To a glorious purpose
He did what Gods are for
Are you sure about? Gods? Were unmerciful in the Past.
Aunt may: I believe there's a hero in all of us gives us strength makes us Noble and finally allows us to died even though sometimes we have to be steady and give up the things we the most even our dreams
He finally found his “GLORIOUS PURPOSE”
“I assure you brother.. the sun will shine on us again”
Loki weaving time itself into a new system and becoming like a God of all these peoples stories has to be one of the most epic things Ive seen in all of Marvel
The glorious sacrifice!!! This episode was Hands down the best thing I have ever seen!!!
I love how he doesn't just save the multiverse, but he forms it into Yggdrasil the World Tree.
All the years of leather and he finally pics some super comfy pj's to wear on his throne.
it made me cried ... so sad, the loneliness he'll bare for forever ... he doesnt want to be alone, he wants his friends, but what choice did he had
😭
tom is an amazing actor ..he's efforts playing loki is truly outstanding no one but him could have done any better...im glad people are recognizing him...cant let thor have all the glory after all ;)
He was 29 when casted, now at 43. Truly a Glorious Purpose!
What I like about the time slipping scenes and him learning about physics from OB is the fact that they make a great excuse for Tom's irl aging. He didn't change THAT MUCH since Avengers, but just enough for you to start noticing the wrinkles, more tired eyes, and overall rough face compared to how he should look between Avengers and Season 1 of his show. It is especially noticable once he finally wears the crown again and screams. Now it makes sense. He was similarly as old as Thor, who said he was 1 500 years old in IW. Give it few centuries here, few centuries there, and Loki could be 2-3 000 years old. When arguing with Odin in The Dark World about being gods, Loki says that Asgardians live for "give or take 5000 years" compared to humans, so when you do the math, Loki should be in his PRIME age by now compared to being a young adult in Thor.
Loki is basically in the best shape he's ever been, at peak of his life with insane powers and knowledge, even wisdom thanks to his character arc. He is the most mature god of his entire pantheon, I bet he even surpassed Odin. Far from the young boy and resentful schemer.
Would he still be physically aging if he’s time-slipping, though? Wouldn’t he be resetting to relatively younger versions of his body?
i like to theorise that since now he exists completely out of any sense of time (or at the end of it), he no longer ages. a grim fate but it would be weird if this kind of role required successors...
He's not really an asgardian though, he's a frost giant and we don't know how long they live in the mcu (although maybe we can assume the same kind of lifespan)
Show had me on the edge of my seat. So glad they went with a tragic ending. Really made Loki's story have a massive impact
Loki's arc was amazing in this show well written well executed story line
This scene is an allusion to loki literally carrying the MCU on his back
🤣🤣🤣
Surprised so many fan girls are still watching MCU after endgame. Since thats when MCU died according to all the lil girls saying Loki is carrying the MCU hahaha sorry not sorry
This was by far Marvel's best storyline and redemption arc. This series was phenomenal and godly in it's truest nature. From Loki saying - "You're all Beneath me" in Avengers to "The sun will shine again on us brother" in Infinity war to Loki implying - "You're all with me ❤️" in this series finale, what a great character development! Hats off to the years of work done by the writers.
I wonder what Hulk would say when he watches this season finale - Puny god no more 😅
After seeing Loki's current power, I think all other superheroes have very little power.
Yeah. He's basically He Who Remains with magic. He'd be able to beat Thanos 1v1.
What thanos 😂 he can eliminate infinite amount thanos from infinite amount branches
Only Arishem and Uatu can beat Timekeeper Loki
@@mauzumanu7755 boy oh boy i sure hope loki unalive hitle-r throughout the multiverse am i right
@@MCSPARTAN501 thanos is vulnerable to magic damage anyway,he is a melee type villain thats why scarlet witch was wrecking him
The fact that the threads of time become formed into yggdrasil the tree of life at the end is so very perfect.
The amazing thing is that Loki was able to achieve his dream without wars and without bloodshed 😊😊😊😢😢
This scene feels like those comically superhero upgrades and I actually like it. I hope this is what Kang Dynasty will fee like.
Crazy how Loki went from being a villain the big bad of phase 1 to now being a hero and protector of the multiverse in the multiverse saga. Better hero and character development then any avenger in my opinion.
If you notice they are turning characters into the manifestation of the infinity stones. Loki is time, Wanda is reality, and with vision returning in a upcoming show that would fill in mind.
This scene was so powerful and epic. I got chills as he ascended to his throne.
Omg this show changed my life seeing myself as villain the whole time ..
It gave me perspective that I could change
Thank you Loki thanks Marvel 😢
Loki is now have become one of the most powerful being in MCU
This is the perfect ending for the Loki character as a whole he finally after a thousand years gets to have a throne and he’s regretting every minute of it
Loki always wanted the power that came with throne but before this, never the responsibility that came with it. That's why Loki just goofed off before Thor came back to expose him in Thor Ragnarok.
His back must be hurting from carrying the entire MCU Phase 4
Meanwhile in Valhalla
Frigga: “I’m so proud.”
Odin: “yes, every version of us is proud.”
this is like watching the creation of some epic mythos
Man, this is the Marvel I miss. WE WANT MORE OF THIS!
Totally!!!
