Loki was given the Trolley problem - do you direct the train onto the track with one person, or leave it to kill a bunch of people. He almost chose to kill Sylvia, but instead he blew up the train (the loom). Now he watches over everything to make sure nobody sends another train.
His “I know what kind of god I need to be” is a throwback to the end of the first Thor movie when he is talking to his father. They also hint that he can see into the timelines because you hear Mobius saying “let time pass” echoing as it zooms in on Loki
I have consistently watched the finale time and time again. The part that gets me so much is when Loki is in the airlock and looks back at Mobius and Slyvie and says the line of, "I know what kind of god I need to be. For you. For all of us." Is a call back to when he was talking to Odin dangling off the Rainbow bridge in Thor. How he was saying it selfishly in that movie, but then here it's truly selfless. That he later would fall off the rainbow bridge, but here, he was able to step up, and ascend to his new found godhood. Odin and Thor would be so proud of him. Truly amazing.
Loki used to say "burdened with glorious purpose" to intimidate others, but in the end, he was truly burdened with glorious purpose. He could never attain his throne until he no longer wanted it. Or perhaps he wanted it for the right reasons. It was what Thor was trying to tell him Avengers about the truth of being a ruler.
I remember all the way back to the first Thor movie, when Thor was banished and Odin was in the Odin sleep and Loki took the throne. When Thor's friends came to beg Odin to let Thor come home and found Loki on the throne Loki said "The burden of the throne falls to me". But he didn't see it as a real burden, just words that sounded good. He got his throne when he understood that it WAS a burden.
Remember, at the beggining of "Captain America: The First Avenger", Red Skull finds Tesseract in some kind of grave, which has that same tree on it(Yggdrasil). Just a detail :)
Unlike He Who (No Longer) Remains, Loki did not rely on a piece of machinery to control the branching of the timelines. Instead, he created a form that naturally grows and branches and named it Yggdrasil.
I loved this series! Tom Hiddleston deserves so much credit for his amazing portrayal of Loki. He was simply perfect as Loki. Loki's redemption\character arc is the best in the MCU imo. This was the perfect way to end this series. There will never be another actor that will ever portray Loki as well as Hiddleston has. I cried my eyes out at the end. I've enjoyed watching this with y'all!
21:25 yes “earth 616” is the main earth in MCU TVA might now be operating over He who remain variants. ofc they were talking about what happen in quantum mania and Kang was taken care of by antman squad You got that right on point.
This series is what I hope Secret Wars is like. I enjoyed this second season so much. I both hate and love Loki’s ending. I hope this isn’t the end for him but if it is, he has had the best character arc in all of Marvel. No one can top him, I’d be surprised if that changes in the future. Even with so many more exciting things on the horizon. 😄
My thoughts on Ravona Rennslayer: in the background, when she sits up in "prune-land", you can see a pyramid... one of Kang's 'main' variants is Rama-Tut (seen in the end-credits of Quantumania); so, since we didn't see Alioth actually devour / disintegrate Rennslayer, I think Rama-Tut may have rescued her and thus she can show up in other MCU stuff / Kang Dynasty films. Glad you finally made time to enjoy Loki! Now, you need to get some cute baby MCU outfits for the wee one! :)
2:00-2:57 Dormammu, I’ve come to bargain. Loki got the two things he didn’t want: loneliness and a throne. It’s a sad happy ending because his friends and the countless dimensions survive but the best and only way it happens is that Loki ascends to his new glorious purpose as the god of storytelling. 17:17 ding ding ding ding ding!!! You are correct. That report is about Quantumania. Basically this means that Scott and Hope managed to buy the TVA more time to prepare for the imminent fight against the Council. 18:10 Hot Topic needs to sell these. I would definitely get my own copy. 18:32-18:54 In the words of CinemaWins, comeuppance.
Yes when they say 616 they mean the MCU that we know and the "adjacent" meaning the quantum realm of 616. Loki is now, as in the comics, The God of Stories. Basically the Watcher.
In case no one else has answered it... in that last scene where they discussed "616 adjacent", they were talking about the events in Quantumania. That conversation was about monitoring the Kang-variants and making sure none of them were getting out of hand or had learned about the existence of the TVA.
Not only was this a brilliant episode (along with episode 4), but it was easily the best finale of the Disney+ MCU shows. At the beginning, Loki was an arrogant jerk who felt that he was entitled to be a ruler and have a throne. He went on to sacrifice his way of life to save everything, ironically getting a throne in the process. It's sad yet brilliantly done. Also, huge props to composer Natalie Holt who I think composed the best TV soundtrack of the year.
So now that Loki changed the rules of the TVA Their next objective is to recruit hero’s from other universes in their fight with kang and i believe we will see that in Deadpool 3
13:42 Asgardians become more powerful the older they get. Everyone else decayed to nothing because of how much temporal energy was accelerating their clock. TLDR: Age didn’t just not kill him; it made him stronger.
Loki didnt disintegrate because he's imbued with power of time, and the flares were radiations of time. also to point out that the time stone is green, meaning it came from Loki as a cosmic entity. The space stone might come from The Watcher cus his eyes are same color of tesseract, bright blue with similar power of space. i think soul might from Living Tribunal, orange. I think it'll be connected.
@MAC React, 7:58 Canon Events/Fixed Points cannot be changed--they have to happen. 8:00 This is Sylvie's Nexus Event. The story Mobius tells later in the episode explains why Ravonna pruned her as a child. 8:26 This is ANOTHER Canon Event/Fixed Point--Sylvie cannot be stopped from doing what she's destined to do...this is why she was pruned. Sylvie's action kills every life across the Multiverse, past, present and future. Yikes! 9:37 You know what? He (HWR) told us this in the first season finale! -->ruclips.net/video/xyfwr861cjs/видео.htmlsi=dGWlENESDQFuRzwX&t=161 HWR has been where Loki is and he failed to do what Loki's trying to do now--it can't be done. The best HWR was able to do is the system he put in place. It isn't perfect, but it allows a good chunk of life to live on. The first season and the second season made it a point to mention that HWR was "just a man, flesh and blood" several times. Why is that? He chose Loki, a god, to replace him, and that probably isn't a coincidence either. Victor has the exact same generic makeup as HWR and we saw Victor get spaghettified every time he tried to fix the loom, so we already know what would happen to HWR if tried to do it himself. The first episode of season two showed us that Loki could survive the vacuum of space and the Temporal Radiation since the scene showing him shot out of the Temporal Loom when Mobius pulled him from the Timeline. Heck, we knew gods could survive a lot more than that since Infinity War when we saw Thor make Storm Breaker--he took on the full force of a sun and didn't die. 10:13 He WRITES the stories! 10:51 HWR couldn't solve it. BUT, Loki is his solution. HWR represents the pinnacle of man, and he had a gun run, but the life he carved out for himself and life everywhere was a never-ending circle of life repeating itself over and over again. He tried fixing it for millions of lifetimes and could solve it. He's tired, as he told us in the first season. He wants someone else to do it, someone who can do what he can't, Loki! Love and Thunder showed us that HWR couldn't just choose any god, as most of them were, jerks. Loki was never really evil. Even after Loki replaced Odin for two years, he ruled Asgard justly. Loki already proved himself, and even though 2012 Loki wasn't that version of himself, yet, he still could be, all he needed was a story to push him in that direction, and that's what this series did from start to finish. 11:42 This is the story that explains that Mobius and Ravonna were Hunters charged with pruning variants before their crimes, they had Minority Report-type work before their current jobs as an analyst and a judge respectively. 13:44 because he ISN'T a man, but a god! 15:16 Loki pulled back the veil and revealed that HWR was always in plain sight, on the other side of the loom. The TVA and the Citadel at the End of Time occupied the same space. 15:40 Yup! Because he replaced him. That said, HWR IS out there, the version of him BEFORE he becomes HWR. We saw that he had a plan in motion after his death with Miss Minutes and Ravonna, how do we not know that he has another one in play to keep him apprised that his mission was a success? Loki did what he couldn't. What will he do now? What will Loki do? Loki can know do what he did and more. Loki has Avatars =)
Now that the TVA is acting with their memories intact to keep the Kangs from starting wars. Though if the MCU's heroes can take care of things they won't need Minutemen to intervene.
Maybe Loki is like The Watcher (from What If..?) In the final episode of What If...? the Watcher was able to assemble Avengers from multiple timelines. Maybe Loki will have the same powers. There are also multiple Lokis in the Void at the End of Time. Maybe Loki will free Kid Loki to live out a life on a timeline.
I am a bit curious on the centuries that went by in which Loki had to keep going back in time so he could learn everything he could that O.B. knew about mechanics, physics and engineering. I wonder if he had to just keep going back to the same moment in time and relearn from O.B. bit-by-bit in piecemeal while also at the same time reliving the same crisis moment each time. I also wonder what other events may have been happening at that moment outside the TVA. So, for example, will all the other future MCU movies theoretically take place within those centuries of time in took Loki to learn from O.B. and a Kang dynasty film could theoretically still be made since all the other Kang variants are out there or does this finale just wipe away and/all events that happened during those centuries? I do wonder also if Loki could theoretically keep time-slipping back into the past and just keep living his life in the past, if he was so inclined and did not care about saving all mankind and other timelines. I gotta admit too that in the back of my mind, I am still curious about what happened and is happening now with the timeline in which Loki picked up the Tessarect to escape from 2012 NY. Part of me is curious to see how the events of that timeline unfolded without a Loki.
Does anybody know if they're gonna do a watchalong to Guardians of the Galaxy 3? They usually do a reaction to every MCU movie when they come out on streaming and I think Guardians is definitely worthy of a reaction video

Train
@@LoopLife42 I guess I did switch between calling it a trolley and a train. Whoops
I have to admit: that was a highly satisfactory finale for a series that stands out as one of the best of Marvel's current era.
It is the best MCU TV series ending
Dude, to be honest, I believe the Loki series is way better than Endgame ( not from Infinity War, obviously.)
For sure but also some of the past ones as well.
His “I know what kind of god I need to be” is a throwback to the end of the first Thor movie when he is talking to his father.
They also hint that he can see into the timelines because you hear Mobius saying “let time pass” echoing as it zooms in on Loki
Yeah and you can see a slight green light effect when the camera pans to the sun when Mobius is talking, kinda hinting Loki is there
I have consistently watched the finale time and time again. The part that gets me so much is when Loki is in the airlock and looks back at Mobius and Slyvie and says the line of, "I know what kind of god I need to be. For you. For all of us."

That he later would fall off the rainbow bridge, but here, he was able to step up, and ascend to his new found godhood. Odin and Thor would be so proud of him. Truly amazing.
The time loop he was stuck in for season 1, with Sif hits different now.
Loki used to say "burdened with glorious purpose" to intimidate others, but in the end, he was truly burdened with glorious purpose. He could never attain his throne until he no longer wanted it. Or perhaps he wanted it for the right reasons. It was what Thor was trying to tell him Avengers about the truth of being a ruler.

Unlike He Who (No Longer) Remains, Loki did not rely on a piece of machinery to control the branching of the timelines. Instead, he created a form that naturally grows and branches and named it Yggdrasil.
He also didn’t live as long or as alone. With endless information.
I loved this series! Tom Hiddleston deserves so much credit for his amazing portrayal of Loki. He was simply perfect as Loki. Loki's redemption\character arc is the best in the MCU imo.

You got that right on point.
Own Wilson makes me tear up in this finale. “Scar tissue” and “Let time pass”
Me too. Such good acting
The let time pass line and delivery is fantastic
Most purposes are more burden than glory
@@caroline10081 *Most purpose is more burden than glory.
I loved it. He chose the path of self-sacrifice. Perfect end for our friend.
Happy having you two back. Hope baby is doing good.
I never gave an episode a perfect 10 , but this particular one gets it best thing the MCU ever did
This series is what I hope Secret Wars is like. I enjoyed this second season so much. I both hate and love Loki’s ending. I hope this isn’t the end for him but if it is, he has had the best character arc in all of Marvel. No one can top him, I’d be surprised if that changes in the future. Even with so many more exciting things on the horizon. 😄
Let's not pretend Loki season 2 episode 6 didn't just hard carry the entire current phase. Glorious purpose indeed. 💯
My thoughts on Ravona Rennslayer: in the background, when she sits up in "prune-land", you can see a pyramid... one of Kang's 'main' variants is Rama-Tut (seen in the end-credits of Quantumania); so, since we didn't see Alioth actually devour / disintegrate Rennslayer, I think Rama-Tut may have rescued her and thus she can show up in other MCU stuff / Kang Dynasty films.
Glad you finally made time to enjoy Loki! Now, you need to get some cute baby MCU outfits for the wee one! :)
And not only is he now “ He who remains “ and the creator of the World Tree but he’s now The God Of Stories.
Loki is burdened by Glorious Purpose - safeguarding all realities, from his throne at the center of the World Tree...
2:00-2:57 Dormammu, I’ve come to bargain.
Loki got the two things he didn’t want: loneliness and a throne. It’s a sad happy ending because his friends and the countless dimensions survive but the best and only way it happens is that Loki ascends to his new glorious purpose as the god of storytelling.

Loki the God of stories!
Such a perfect finale. What a amazing show. Great reaction you guys
If you guys didn’t know, Loki’s new God Form costume is comic’s accurate to the God of Stories costume in the comics.
Yes when they say 616 they mean the MCU that we know and the "adjacent" meaning the quantum realm of 616. Loki is now, as in the comics, The God of Stories. Basically the Watcher.
Now we know why time stone is green
In case no one else has answered it... in that last scene where they discussed "616 adjacent", they were talking about the events in Quantumania. That conversation was about monitoring the Kang-variants and making sure none of them were getting out of hand or had learned about the existence of the TVA.
At the end you see a green and yellow light on mobius when silvie was talking to him so loki is watching over them .
Not only was this a brilliant episode (along with episode 4), but it was easily the best finale of the Disney+ MCU shows.

So now that Loki changed the rules of the TVA Their next objective is to recruit hero’s from other universes in their fight with kang and i believe we will see that in Deadpool 3
The music in this show is SO good.
He becomes the God of Stories. From the comics. All stories. He writes the stories. Or lets people choose their own.
13:42 Asgardians become more powerful the older they get. Everyone else decayed to nothing because of how much temporal energy was accelerating their clock.
TLDR: Age didn’t just not kill him; it made him stronger.
"Remember, I'm a fast learner and I'm a god."
Loki didnt disintegrate because he's imbued with power of time, and the flares were radiations of time. also to point out that the time stone is green, meaning it came from Loki as a cosmic entity. The space stone might come from The Watcher cus his eyes are same color of tesseract, bright blue with similar power of space. i think soul might from Living Tribunal, orange. I think it'll be connected.
The world tree 🌳
Hey guys I think you gotta update your thumbnail the number says 2x2 lol
Thanks, I uploaded at 4AM so I was tired lol. Good looking out!
I will shred this loom to its last atom, and then, with all the knowledge I've gained from you, create a new one, teeming with life

Hey do you know that What If season 2 trailer is out)
whaaaaaaaaaaat whaaaaaat
Dr. Strange Supreme VS God Loki?
or
The Watcher VS God Loki?
Which would be cooler, and who would win?
Is MAC React going to start the Spy Family season 2 reactions soon?
