I like owen wilson in this. I haven't seen him in a couple of years. In this he is silly enough to be entertaining and restrained enough to seem elusive.
It's also been long enough that he disappears into the role more than he might have when he was younger and we all knew his face. Or it's just the mustache, who knows
I think the sacred timeline is the MCU as we knew it and with the sacred timeline destroyed, we can now have a multiverse. It would explain why no one crossed universes before
But Doc Strange visited the dark dimension and how about the comic verse. The movies all have a multiverse number in the comics. Maybe these timekeepers just want to simplify the timeline but the multiverse still exists.
I think there already are other universes, I mean we know there are, all the other movies and comics and cartoons and video games are in their own universes within the multiverse. But the TVA's job is to prevent the creation of new ones through the branching of timelines
time doesnt have a beginning or end. it's and endless loop. if multiverses caused by time travel will be possible later, they also mustve been possible before.
I loved that Loki's idea of candy is nuts and grapes. I love the gaps of knowledge that Asgard has. They can wrap their mind around GUIs and complex control surfaces, but not email.
That's why racoons aren't going through their trash - no candy. So Thor calls Rocket a rabbit because it turns out that racoons are exclusive to the Americas (like turkeys, cocoa and tobacco) and his visits to Midgard in the distant past didn't include the new world...
They can't use range weapons because if they miss, whatever they hit will be deleted from the timeline. They don't want to be changing things more than what was already changed.

I think it is not female Loki and it is Enchantress because Loki specifically says his powers in this episode and body swapping is not one of them. As the boys say she doesn’t want to be called Loki. When Loki is being thrown around he says ‘I would never treat myself like this’. Also her magic just looks exactly like Scarlet Witch’s and Agatha’s. Just thoughts though...

Agents of SHIELD did go to the future, but in the same way as Dr Strange. They saw a possible future and when they went back to their time they made sure that future doesn't happen. And there's a line in Loki ep2 about the Timekeepers still figuring out which future to go with, it's still consistent with Dr Strange and AoS. There's multiple possible futures until one is decided.
My theory is, past the red line, are other timelines that still exist. Because they have to, right? Otherwise a lot of other things technically can't exist? Or I guess they could because a movie universe isn't the same as a multiverse and the multiverse isn't a real thing that exists, but whatever. Either way, that's my theory is the time keepers are controlling this timeline and don't want anything touching that red line because then that timeline might find out about other timelines. And they're not actually interested in saving this timeline, but just controlling it to, perhaps, some particular end.
you’re thinking of the red line as something like a measure of distance - like if you keep moving towards it and cross it you’re at a new location where there may be other timelines - i don’t think that’s quite right. that graph seems to show divergence. a nexus event sets off a cascade of butterfly effects, making events more and more different from what they’re supposed to be until they snowball out of control and split off into a parallel continuum. it’s more like a family tree than a map. it’s not so much that there’s nothing “outside” the one set of branching nodes as that the diagram and its red line aren’t meaningful beyond it.
Well that would make sense. After all, doctor strange looke at thousands of othdr timelines and found 1 where they completely win, in order for him to not just see the one possibility there must have been others right?
@@jacobhargiss3839, i think Strange was doing something like what the Time-keepers are up to as they “untangle the epilogue from its infinite branches” - i.e., looking at different **possible** futures to decide which one to try to actualize, rather than hopping from one timeline to another and interacting with doppelgängers, etc.. alternate explanation: we already know the Time-keepers permit some closed-loop branching, like the Avengers borrowing and returning the Infinity Stones, so maybe the 14,000,000 alternate realities that Strange visited and pruned by acting out the one where Thanos is defeated were all “supposed to happen” that way.
What kinda confuses me tho is that if the reset device does not destroy a messed up timeline how would they solve the problem of Loki going missing in the 2012 timeline? Like using a reset device there would be pointless and the only way to fix it would be to return Loki right? Idk kinda confusing shit here lmao
wait, didn't they confirm that's exactly what it was? When Loki was entering the tent in the renaissance dress-up party he says it's basically total annihilation for everything in the branched timeline, right?
That's exactly what their devices do. But I think divergent timelines only exist in the radius of the nexus point for a short time. Until they grow enough to become a stable timeline. Which is why they have a "red line" until they can no longer "prune" the affected branch.
I saw someone comment that the sacred timeline being destroyed is going to lead into the multiverse which will explain how there were characters we never seen before. If this is true, Kevin Feige and the writing team are so incredibly smart to incorporate a time table that Disney would be able to eventually acquire characters, to their overall plot. It’s like as if years ago they guessed Marvel/Disney would be able to get the rights back to these characters, this is how long it’s gonna take, and this is how we’re gonna bring it together when we get there.
Even though they explained it away in the first episode, it definitely *feels* like Steve should get arrested for all the stuff he's done, and I personally would like to see him face justice for his crimes
So many theories from this episode, the TVA employees were people who in the sacred timeline went missing/died alone and were put in the TVA as it wouldn't effect the timeline. Also pretty sure it's going to be revealed that time keepers are Loki variants... They wear green and gold robes 🧐 and the show keeps reminding us Loki has blue skin sometimes.
The second Enchantress is the young Sylvie Lushton, who was given great mystic powers by Loki when he created her as a tool for chaos. She models herself after the original Enchantress, Amora.
Theory: the TVA has a 70s style because that decade was the first time-travel they picked up occuring on earth. The TVA agents may look different in other parts of the complex that deal with other civilizations, but this building is for earth. They chose human forms for their workforce because they're made in the image of the life forms that time travel.
But they also record time on different realms/planets? It was shown in both episodes. From Asgard to Titan to even Vormhir. oh wait want another example? Okay. Xandar, home of the Nova Corps.
@@nickgriffin661 oh god you just reminded me of every hurricane event i experienced when i was a kid. No milk, no bread, everyone going to the church basements. EVERY FUCKING TIME
I think that at the end of the serie Loki will destroy the sacred timeline. That is why Kang begins to rise with his ultimate goal to return back to one timeline, with him as the ultimate leader/timekeeper. As a big fan of this one timeline thing Ravonna Renslayer will join him and eventually fall in love with him.
I would not be suprised if Lady Loki is basically Agent of Asgard Loki and she is trying to restore the freewill in the universe by recreating or reconnectiong the sacred timeline to the rest of the multiverse. She also has the small horns head piece as the AoA Loki.
Praise to these boys for never making 7 minute videos with 27 ads, getting so burnt on the new 8-9 minute video with an ad at the beginning middle and end. The planet left/is leaving cable behind for a reason.
What if the TVA went to arrest Steve Rogers, and Steve fought them off. And they just let him be. Or they got him to do an impossible job hoping for him to die but he did it successfully and then they left him alone
i believe that second part is more likely. he probably pleaded to be able to live with peggy where they offered him a chance to do that by perhaps fixing another timeline problem
Does The Ancient One know about the time keepers? We learned about timelines splitting from her during Endgame. If she understands that then she must know of the TVA and then in turn the time keepers.
I studied Pompeii just under two years ago in year 12 and the teacher discussed the movie Pompeii with Kit Harrington so I know the movie you’re talking about James 👍🏼
Rampant Speculation: Mobius was speaking about himself when he mentioned wanting to try something new. He wants Loki to destroy the sacred timeline so he can zip around the multiverse on a time-hopping jet ski.
The Kid From Brooklyn… First thing I thought of when I saw FDR was the pen Tony showed Steve when offering an olive branch in Civil War and FDR High being in Brooklyn.
Yeah, but the one in Brooklyn stands for "Federeal Drug Reserve" as far as the natives are concerned...along with a less PC name that I wont leave here lol
This is one of Owen Wilson's best performances. He outshines Loki IMHO. Too bad the minor actors aren't better, which is a theme with these Marvel/Star Wars TV shows
My pet theory; the Time Keepers will accidentally get merged into one person, maybe by collapsing multiple timelines into one again, and this one person becomes Kang. I feel that their individual designs combined would look kinda... Kang-y.
That’s a great theory! Especially if they’re set on the elimination of chaos in the timeline, since I think obsessive maintenance of the timeline is a Kang trait
Kang is already multiple persons in one (not really, just the same Kang from different points in his life) to the point he created the Council of Kangs. So there is no need for the Time Keepers to merge. They can already be 3 different Kangs from 3 different timelines. In any case, these entities seem to be A LOT stronger than Kang, anyway.
@@92brunod To be honest, in ep 1 I thought that the TVA was secretly run by Kang, who had manipulated time in such a way that suited him best and he is now fiercely protecting his preferred timeline. I do like how the vertically chopped up statues of the time keeper faces we see in the background resemble the lines on Kang’s mask.
Heres an idea for a Caravan of Garbage....Do the film "The One" with Jet Li....multiverses...different versions of main character....and even a MVA Multiverse Authority Jason Statham...Directed by James Wong perfect for C.O.G.
I love the idea that 'stuff that is meant to happen in the sacred timeline is just stuff they can't be bothered dealing with,' because it sounds so bureaucratic and a perfect fit for an organisation that looks like this
The fight scene in the beginning with "Holding Out for a Hero" was underwhelming. I thought the fight scene would be dope.. Eh The meme was better But the rest of the episode was epic. Loved it
Me too. I wonder if they licensed it because they had a plan for a long fight scene where she keeps switching bodies and ended up cutting it down for some reason
I was watching an old Hiddleston clip on Graham Norton, and I was stunned to hear him relate a story about a moment when he met Owen Wilson on the set of "Midnight in Paris." Apparently, Hiddleston had no idea he was in a time travel movie until he saw Wilson and asked him what was up with his costume. Hiddleston was dressed for the 1920s and Wilson for the 2000s.
One thing that intrigues me is that the TVA is seemingly this all powerful, very important organization. And yet, they still use type writers, paper files and rotary phones. It’s so interesting that they don’t use very advanced technology for the critical work they do.
Here’s the thing with the endgame timey wimey stuff, is that we already know that the tva doesn’t go after the avengers because that’s what they were supposed to do. So captain America staying in the 50s doesn’t mess with the time line because capsicle is still frozen so he still arrives young in 2011(?).
One thing I thought was weird was how is a hurricane in alabama a class 10 apocalypse but the destruction of asgard by a 2000ft tall demon only a class 7? Also where are the avengers in all these future apocalypse? They couldn't save like 100 people at a costco?
You’re point about the Avengers raised a question for me watching this : Why do they have climate problems at all ? This universe is light years ahead of us technologically and Avengers (2012) kind of implied that Tony was working on sharing the Arc Reactor technology to create renewable energy. I know they’re trying to make a statement about OUR future but it doesn’t make a lot of sense for the MCU’s future. Obviously, it’s not impossible for the MCU Earth to be like ours in regards to their fight against climate change but this universe has so many incredible people I find it hard to believe Tony or some other super genius wouldn’t have already figured out contingency plans for this.
Hmm, I think “it’s a super weird coincidence” and “it’s just a reference to our show” is exactly what someone who is definitely putting Mephisto in the show would say. #MephistoConfirmed
When Cap fought himself, the 2012 cap assumed he was fighting Loki. After recovering from the fight and the scepter having rendered him unconscious, he could have just assumed the "Bucky is alive" phrase to have been another trick by the God of Lies to throw him off and gain the upper hand in the melee. This is similar to Loki doomsaying in the middle of Pompeii. A nexus event does not happen simply by changing an event in the timeline, the change has to be big enough to cause other decisions to vary thus leading to multiple deviations from the norm. If Cap didn't believe "Loki", no damage was done, it's just as the people of Pompeii who could do nothing with the warnings of Loki since their fate was sealed anyway.
Something funny I find is that when Loki mentions pushing Hulk off the bridge essentially leading to his death supposedly is that he assumes Hulk died in the explosion. But if he did that he would inadvertently cause a cascade of events, cause Bruce is the one who essentially sets the motions of IW. Kinda interesting.
The variant "Loki" at the end was a blonde. All the variant Loki's in holograms had the signature black hair. Maybe the master she reluctantly(?) serves is an ultimate evil Loki variant with his mischievousness turned up to 11. She wears the Loki headgear with a broken horn. Maybe the TVA and Loki variant destroyed something of hers she held dear in the past/future, but it hasn't happened yet for the current TVA and Loki, and she's out for revenge, wanting to kill every Loki out there, expose/destroy the TVA, while incriminating current Loki by wearing a different Loki's crown... I dunno...
The jetski magazine is interesting because if you zoom in at 2:38 you can see the first sentence is, "For the adventurous there's a whole new world to discover." Which seems like a metaphor for possible new timelines. And also the middle sentence that says, "This is the [not sure what this word is] you've been looking for. The one and only. Buy original. Insist on quality." I just feel like that whole article is kind of a metaphor for which Loki's superiority complex regarding power/performance/quality etc. Marvel really does think of everything.
Loki's plan is to subvert the TVA enough to save his mother. Go back and watch the end of ep 1. Watch Loki's reaction to being shown the results of his actions. He tingles with the possibility of saving her from the death that he inflicted.
My theory is that the TVA Agents are all former Variants from when the Time Keepers initially pruned the multiverse down to one timeline. I think the agent Lady Loki kidnapped was starting to remember her orignal life which is why she was freaking out and spouting weirdness.
Dude when the variant Loki decloaked themselves to reveal John Krazinski in a fantastic four outfit was the best part in this episode
My personal favourite part was when everyone was revealed to be a skrull
I agree! It was even better than the part when Mobius turned to the camera and said that he was Mephisto all along!
It was a shock but nighmare becoming a variant as Mephistopheles is a time keeper and miss minute getting killed by John krazinski was gold 10/11

My favourite part was when hulk loki came along and started pummelling professor hulk

They can't use range weapons because if they miss, whatever they hit will be deleted from the timeline. They don't want to be changing things more than what was already changed.
They should hire Hawkeye.

Like using a reset device there would be pointless and the only way to fix it would be to return Loki right? Idk kinda confusing shit here lmao
@@nseuhbf6382 They reset that time line in the first episode. Because Loki didn’t go to another time line in Endgame just to another location.
@@potloodpuntje6130 ohhhhhh you're right but so the reset devices do essentially destroy an entire timeline and all of the people in it right?
wait, didn't they confirm that's exactly what it was? When Loki was entering the tent in the renaissance dress-up party he says it's basically total annihilation for everything in the branched timeline, right?
That's exactly what their devices do. But I think divergent timelines only exist in the radius of the nexus point for a short time. Until they grow enough to become a stable timeline. Which is why they have a "red line" until they can no longer "prune" the affected branch.
I saw someone comment that the sacred timeline being destroyed is going to lead into the multiverse which will explain how there were characters we never seen before. If this is true, Kevin Feige and the writing team are so incredibly smart to incorporate a time table that Disney would be able to eventually acquire characters, to their overall plot. It’s like as if years ago they guessed Marvel/Disney would be able to get the rights back to these characters, this is how long it’s gonna take, and this is how we’re gonna bring it together when we get there.
They got their rights back around 2017/18 but couldn’t used them until after 2019-20 so yeah they obviously thought ahead
I am absolutely convinced the Multiverse War, Scared Timeline, and a bunch of TVA stuff is just one giant meta joke
Same
I mean the weapons they use are a version of their comic weapons which are called Retroactive Canons, or “Ret-Con” for short so I mean.... meta.

Man I can't believe the Loki variant they've been chasing is played by John Krasinski! There goes our hopes for him as Mr. Fantastic...
Even though they explained it away in the first episode, it definitely *feels* like Steve should get arrested for all the stuff he's done, and I personally would like to see him face justice for his crimes
Ye it felt so brushed over it was like that was meant to happen like HOW and WHY

@@BonJoviBeatlesLedZep sure but wasn't really part of their question tho
It’s no longer canon. Let it go.
@@inkycell5434 What and what isn't canon wasn't really part of their question neither. It's mostly just an opinion these days anyway
Say what now
So many theories from this episode, the TVA employees were people who in the sacred timeline went missing/died alone and were put in the TVA as it wouldn't effect the timeline.
Also pretty sure it's going to be revealed that time keepers are Loki variants... They wear green and gold robes 🧐 and the show keeps reminding us Loki has blue skin sometimes.
Loved the thumbnail guys, you're getting so good at putting things in red circles Collins
The second Enchantress is the young Sylvie Lushton, who was given great mystic powers by Loki when he created her as a tool for chaos. She models herself after the original Enchantress, Amora.
Theory: the TVA has a 70s style because that decade was the first time-travel they picked up occuring on earth. The TVA agents may look different in other parts of the complex that deal with other civilizations, but this building is for earth. They chose human forms for their workforce because they're made in the image of the life forms that time travel.
I really like that. New head cannon, thank you.
But they also record time on different realms/planets? It was shown in both episodes. From Asgard to Titan to even Vormhir. oh wait want another example? Okay. Xandar, home of the Nova Corps.
As someone from Alabama, I can confirm we’re afraid of super hurricanes
Would you still shop in a Hurricane Sale though?
What you need are jetskis for all.
Ride the hurricane to safety.
That's how Jetskis work right?
@@darren6949 Oh yeah. Gotta stock up on milk, bread and gasoline for the jet skis
@@nickgriffin661 oh god you just reminded me of every hurricane event i experienced when i was a kid. No milk, no bread, everyone going to the church basements. EVERY FUCKING TIME
as you should be
Not only better he get his jetski, but he also mutters a small "Oh wow" under his breath.
I think it's cool that Mobius' assumed plan of Loki is basically Loki's Sakaar plan
I think that at the end of the serie Loki will destroy the sacred timeline. That is why Kang begins to rise with his ultimate goal to return back to one timeline, with him as the ultimate leader/timekeeper. As a big fan of this one timeline thing Ravonna Renslayer will join him and eventually fall in love with him.
I would not be suprised if Lady Loki is basically Agent of Asgard Loki and she is trying to restore the freewill in the universe by recreating or reconnectiong the sacred timeline to the rest of the multiverse. She also has the small horns head piece as the AoA Loki.
Or she's enchantress

Praise to these boys for never making 7 minute videos with 27 ads, getting so burnt on the new 8-9 minute video with an ad at the beginning middle and end. The planet left/is leaving cable behind for a reason.
I enjoy your recaps far more than anyone else's.
Some of the branching timelines have interesting locations of where they occur. Titan in 1982, Ego in 1382, Asgard in 2004 and Vormir in 2301.
Right I seen that too! I wonder if they’re going to touch on it
What if the TVA went to arrest Steve Rogers, and Steve fought them off. And they just let him be. Or they got him to do an impossible job hoping for him to die but he did it successfully and then they left him alone
i believe that second part is more likely. he probably pleaded to be able to live with peggy where they offered him a chance to do that by perhaps fixing another timeline problem
Trials of Hercules but Steve Rodgers. Now that is a show I would watch
Does The Ancient One know about the time keepers? We learned about timelines splitting from her during Endgame. If she understands that then she must know of the TVA and then in turn the time keepers.
never even thought of this but i bet you’re right
I studied Pompeii just under two years ago in year 12 and the teacher discussed the movie Pompeii with Kit Harrington so I know the movie you’re talking about James 👍🏼
I’m actually in the ‘not lady Loki but actually Entchantress’ camp
I feel like Richard Grant will more likely to be one of the time keepers, he seems like he can play that old, all knowing type of character.
I do think he already has the look and personality for an older, grizzled Loki though.
All the editors on this channel are amazing but I have to give it up for Collings for never passing up a Corn of Coblin reference
I've never heard a Raycon commercial spoken with so much enthusiasm. This is the 1st time I haven't skipped an ad in a long time. lol
Best part of the episode is when Agent Mobius looked at the camera and said “kachow”
I've noticed the TVA is very anti-flashlight, too
Rampant Speculation: Mobius was speaking about himself when he mentioned wanting to try something new. He wants Loki to destroy the sacred timeline so he can zip around the multiverse on a time-hopping jet ski.
You can't spell Jetski without John Krasinski
CAMEO CONFIRMED.
i’d rather see mobius not ride a jet ski but ride a john krasinSKI.... wait...
@@KeiranThomas110 Hold up
The Kid From Brooklyn…
First thing I thought of when I saw FDR was the pen Tony showed Steve when offering an olive branch in Civil War and FDR High being in Brooklyn.
Yeah, but the one in Brooklyn stands for "Federeal Drug Reserve" as far as the natives are concerned...along with a less PC name that I wont leave here lol
That Pen has established John Krasinski as Mephisto.
Oh my God. You did it, you son of a biscuit
You’ve cracked the code
But he was Jimmie Woo in WandaVision.
So far loving Loki, exactly what I wanted from a marvel show. Wacky shit they could never explore in a movie
This is one of Owen Wilson's best performances. He outshines Loki IMHO. Too bad the minor actors aren't better, which is a theme with these Marvel/Star Wars TV shows
Which minor actors?
My pet theory; the Time Keepers will accidentally get merged into one person, maybe by collapsing multiple timelines into one again, and this one person becomes Kang. I feel that their individual designs combined would look kinda... Kang-y.
That’s a great theory! Especially if they’re set on the elimination of chaos in the timeline, since I think obsessive maintenance of the timeline is a Kang trait
Kang is already multiple persons in one (not really, just the same Kang from different points in his life) to the point he created the Council of Kangs. So there is no need for the Time Keepers to merge. They can already be 3 different Kangs from 3 different timelines.
In any case, these entities seem to be A LOT stronger than Kang, anyway.
@@92brunod To be honest, in ep 1 I thought that the TVA was secretly run by Kang, who had manipulated time in such a way that suited him best and he is now fiercely protecting his preferred timeline. I do like how the vertically chopped up statues of the time keeper faces we see in the background resemble the lines on Kang’s mask.
Heres an idea for a Caravan of Garbage....Do the film "The One" with Jet Li....multiverses...different versions of main character....and even a MVA Multiverse Authority Jason Statham...Directed by James Wong perfect for C.O.G.
I love the idea that 'stuff that is meant to happen in the sacred timeline is just stuff they can't be bothered dealing with,' because it sounds so bureaucratic and a perfect fit for an organisation that looks like this
Corn of Cobblin is my favorite on going joke in these videos 😂😂 good work mates!
Theory: Richard E. Garnt is Corn of Coblin!
The fight scene in the beginning with
"Holding Out for a Hero" was underwhelming. I thought the fight scene would be dope.. Eh
The meme was better
But the rest of the episode was epic. Loved it
Very ambitious of them to think they could top Shrek 2
Me too. I wonder if they licensed it because they had a plan for a long fight scene where she keeps switching bodies and ended up cutting it down for some reason
I'm glad Ben pointed out that one particular goat with the red circle. It's a part of the puzzle!
I was watching an old Hiddleston clip on Graham Norton, and I was stunned to hear him relate a story about a moment when he met Owen Wilson on the set of "Midnight in Paris." Apparently, Hiddleston had no idea he was in a time travel movie until he saw Wilson and asked him what was up with his costume. Hiddleston was dressed for the 1920s and Wilson for the 2000s.
So we are finally get corn on a coblin in a timeline
Give me a Loki/Life Model Decoy Coulson team-up. That is all I ask. Please!
One thing that intrigues me is that the TVA is seemingly this all powerful, very important organization. And yet, they still use type writers, paper files and rotary phones. It’s so interesting that they don’t use very advanced technology for the critical work they do.
I wouldn't be surprised if Lady LOKI is the one fighting for the good SIDE
Yeah the TVA are definitely not the best moral figures
Man am I the only one expecting an avenger to arrive in the 2050 hurricane scene
This episode was LOW KEY pretty good. Get it? Cause Loki
Absolutely not.
Take your like and get out. Lol
Ew. Lol
somebody come get your dad
I don’t understand?
"Mephist Go No, Mephist? No, Mason" is probably my new favorite catchphrase
I know that Auntie Donna clips are used in the vast majority of the videos these days but it never fails to make me laugh 😂
Here’s the thing with the endgame timey wimey stuff, is that we already know that the tva doesn’t go after the avengers because that’s what they were supposed to do. So captain America staying in the 50s doesn’t mess with the time line because capsicle is still frozen so he still arrives young in 2011(?).
One thing I thought was weird was how is a hurricane in alabama a class 10 apocalypse but the destruction of asgard by a 2000ft tall demon only a class 7?
Also where are the avengers in all these future apocalypse? They couldn't save like 100 people at a costco?
I think it goes up in intensity from 10-1
You’re point about the Avengers raised a question for me watching this : Why do they have climate problems at all ? This universe is light years ahead of us technologically and Avengers (2012) kind of implied that Tony was working on sharing the Arc Reactor technology to create renewable energy.
I know they’re trying to make a statement about OUR future but it doesn’t make a lot of sense for the MCU’s future.
Obviously, it’s not impossible for the MCU Earth to be like ours in regards to their fight against climate change but this universe has so many incredible people I find it hard to believe Tony or some other super genius wouldn’t have already figured out contingency plans for this.
I’m hypnotised... every time you guy say “leave a like”... I do it!!
This show has the best set design in any show I have ever seen
Hmm, I think “it’s a super weird coincidence” and “it’s just a reference to our show” is exactly what someone who is definitely putting Mephisto in the show would say. #MephistoConfirmed
When Cap fought himself, the 2012 cap assumed he was fighting Loki. After recovering from the fight and the scepter having rendered him unconscious, he could have just assumed the "Bucky is alive" phrase to have been another trick by the God of Lies to throw him off and gain the upper hand in the melee. This is similar to Loki doomsaying in the middle of Pompeii. A nexus event does not happen simply by changing an event in the timeline, the change has to be big enough to cause other decisions to vary thus leading to multiple deviations from the norm. If Cap didn't believe "Loki", no damage was done, it's just as the people of Pompeii who could do nothing with the warnings of Loki since their fate was sealed anyway.
But right before that "variant" loki takes the tesseract which causes the split
school’s stressin me out but u guys always cool me down and make me laugh. thank u
Something funny I find is that when Loki mentions pushing Hulk off the bridge essentially leading to his death supposedly is that he assumes Hulk died in the explosion. But if he did that he would inadvertently cause a cascade of events, cause Bruce is the one who essentially sets the motions of IW. Kinda interesting.
The variant "Loki" at the end was a blonde. All the variant Loki's in holograms had the signature black hair. Maybe the master she reluctantly(?) serves is an ultimate evil Loki variant with his mischievousness turned up to 11. She wears the Loki headgear with a broken horn. Maybe the TVA and Loki variant destroyed something of hers she held dear in the past/future, but it hasn't happened yet for the current TVA and Loki, and she's out for revenge, wanting to kill every Loki out there, expose/destroy the TVA, while incriminating current Loki by wearing a different Loki's crown... I dunno...
Or... maybe the variant Loki isn't a blonde and just likes to color her hair.
John Krasinski as Revlon the Conquerer Confirmed!
That agent that Ravonna wouldn’t name is definitely Kang. I mean who else would be sending her gifts like that?
Captain America
I'm kinda surprised they haven't brought up the fact that she has the same name as Kang's love interest in a lot of storylines.
could be Steve Rogers as well
@@thisisnotme33 it’s literally her. Did you not know that somehow?
@@fernandodiniz8241 it’s definitely not
One of the TVA office workers at the end of episode 2 of Loki looks like the piano teacher from WandaVision
The jetski magazine is interesting because if you zoom in at 2:38 you can see the first sentence is, "For the adventurous there's a whole new world to discover." Which seems like a metaphor for possible new timelines. And also the middle sentence that says, "This is the [not sure what this word is] you've been looking for. The one and only. Buy original. Insist on quality." I just feel like that whole article is kind of a metaphor for which Loki's superiority complex regarding power/performance/quality etc. Marvel really does think of everything.

Mobious jetski fantasy reminds of the Luna robots skiing dream from a grand day out.
Loki's plan is to subvert the TVA enough to save his mother. Go back and watch the end of ep 1. Watch Loki's reaction to being shown the results of his actions. He tingles with the possibility of saving her from the death that he inflicted.

Spot on with the Richard E. Grant prediction. He was literally both of those
My theory is that the TVA Agents are all former Variants from when the Time Keepers initially pruned the multiverse down to one timeline. I think the agent Lady Loki kidnapped was starting to remember her orignal life which is why she was freaking out and spouting weirdness.
@@AS.Tierney that's what I'm thinking.
