Yes, didn’t Pliny the Elder set out to at first study, then to advance on a rescue mission when he was delayed for hours at the home of a friend. He was able to send observations to his nephew Pliny the Younger. The younger Pliny has given today’s world the best insight of what happened that day, as he was an eyewitness too, just further away. Generally speaking the eruption was in two main phases; a lighter phase of ash and pumice and hours later, the real killer, pyroclastic flows.
The way he says "vos omnes" sounds more USA than UK to me, but at that level of examination, there are multiple USA accents and multiple UK accents. Variations, you might say. Alas, the scene has no spoken words from locals, for comparison with their accents in the local dialect of Latin. USAmericans who speak Latin aloud sometimes shift accept towards British English, because that feels more formal and "old school". I try to speak Latin more or less as if I were speaking Italian, but even when I actually speak Italian, my accent gets influenced by my Spanish. Language is COMPLICATED.
Isn’t that basically half the season? These two stole the show for me tbh. Couldn’t imagine it without a Mobius character, they bounce off each other so well
Well, Tom Hiddleston can speak perfect Latin. As far as Loki is concerned, he may have learned it on one of the journeys to Earth Odin brought Loki and Thor on

@@lindildeev5721 that's part of the tragedy of Pompeii. They had no idea what Mt Vesuvius was. But yes the word volcano came from the Roman god Vulcan.
That would have been a great cameo. In fact, there must be dozens of time travel shows that had a "Pompeji episode". Someone should shine a spotlight on this trope by depicting Pompeji as being fully populated by time-travelling spectators.
@lindildeev5721 The idea that mountains were inhabited by spirits, gods, dwarves, dragons or other creatures was a widespread belief that applied to all mountains. People would point out individual mountains and say "this one emits smoke because a god has a furnace in it" or "that one looks this way because a troll likes to sit on it". But I don't think they realized that there was an entire category of mountains that was fundamentally different from other mountains.

Except for the butterfly effect, where any of the corpses could now be in different positions or states that effect how they're discovered/researched in the future, which could easily alter decisions that are made and which affect other, more important decisions.
An example is the two embracing bodies they found. Loki's interference could lead to them being separated, meaning they may not have been displayed in a museum or drawn in as big of a crowd, leading to fewer people being interested, and a greater chance of someone important making a different decision in life because they didn't spend their time looking at this piece of history.
But none of those changes would affect the sacred timeline to any significant amount. It could fester and cause more "spontanious" branchings later on, but none of the actions taken here threaten the path that leads to Tony Stark inventing time-GPS for Kang to discover- the Sacred Timeline.
And why would that matter? They would still all be corpses to be uncovered later and would still be placed in a museum Literally nothing aside from where they are found would change
@@summermelody7942the butterfly effect is much, MUCH stronger than you think. Even the slightest alteration can change absolutely everything. There’s way too many factors to account for to determine what will or will not happen as a result.
@boobyegg2135 is the butterfly effect even something that can be estimated? Because I don't think anyone has actually established the flow of causality between butterflies and hurricanes.
Tom Hiddleston is actually fluent in classical Latin, and he threw in a Loki-esque howler, for any other viewer who can understand Latin (which isn't going to be many people) to pick up on. When addressing the citizens of Pompeii, Loki calls the TVA the "Cōnsiliī ad Tempus Mūtandum" which translates as "Council for Changing Time" - which is the opposite of the TVA's mission.
With the Defenders Saga being canon in MCU now, is curious to think that the Hand somehow was responsable of Pompeii's destruction. (They mentioned it in The Defenders and who knows, maybe they were looking for more dragon bones to keep them young).
Wasn't Loki around when the Pompeii volcao eruption happened? Not talking about this scene but was Loki a couple hundred years old or younger when it happened?
Thor says he's 1500 years old in Infinity War, and Loki is his younger brother. That should put his birth sometime after AD 500. That would align with what we saw in "Thor", where the Asgard/Jotunheim war is shown coming to Earth during the Viking Age. All this to say that neither prince saw Pompeii or any of the Roman era. If we take the MCU comments about Asgardians living about 5,000 years at face value, it's interesting to consider that Odin was still quite young when the Great Pyramid was built and never saw Catal Hoyuk.
Basically yeah. It would create no difference (for ease of storytelling's sake). But for real, bodies could be "ashened" at other places. And the archeaologists later that search the scene would go around it differently. Now imagine a dude finding the same body 1 day appart from the original timeline, he could've crossed a deadline, or stay there longer/shorter, had to get home at a different time and finally he could encounter/avoid a deadly accident on the road. Simple example, but then a whole bunch of branches could appear bcs he did/didn't get a lover, did/didn't make ofspring, had/hadn't any interaction. Just like exponential growth, y=x² then x gets the value of y then y=x² then ... . Even the tiniest molecule difference could make a branch, not that the people at the time of difference could notice it, it would be different after a long time. -A butterfly's wings could make a hurricane- (given enough time).
Not necessarily. From what I've seen of the show they seem to be running with the concept that time has a bit of inertia and some self correcting ability or at least an ability to ignore outliers to a certain extent. If it didn't, the TVA showing up anywhere would cause a branch off. Loki and Mobius just standing there in the past would have caused a butter fly effect. It's possible that the trigger for a nexus event varies in needed deviance depending on the integrity of the timeline at that point. For example Going back and moving a random patch of dirt 5ft to the right, 5 min before the castle bravo test isn't going to mean anything in the macro scale of the timeline. The bomb still detonates, no nexus event created. Just because the bodies of the people are in different places, in the macro view of the timeline it doesn't matter. They still died at Pompeii. It's a small enough deviation that another random deviation further along the timeline kicks it back into the correct position relative to everything else. I would suspect if it didn't work that way, quantum probability and stock standard entropy would cause an infinity cascade where an infinite number of branches spawn at every point in every timeline.
Don't have a definite source except Wikias, but the Sacred Timeline is actually a collection of closely related timelines. The TVA only prunes timelines that don't lead to the birth of He Who Remains. Loki's interference at Pompeii very well created branches, but they are not sensed by the TVA because the volcano eruption smothered the impact of their interference to almost irrelevance.
This was explained in episode 1 itself cmonnnn, minor variances in decision such as a guy drinking water instead of coffee do not affect the timeline but a dictator commiting genocide instead of suicide is so the tva would prune the dictator not the drinker, finding ashes in a diff location literally makes no difference whatsoever lol

In the comics, the gods speak the all-tongue; any mortal that hears a god speaking, he hears it in his native toungue.... so when speaking to the romans; Loki seems to spak latin, but when he adresses Mobius, we hear english... ...or, another reason is that argardiarns, visited Europe in the bronze age; taugth the germanic tribes how to speak their language, asgardian; and the germanic tribes continued speaking it for centuries... but it evolved into different diallects, and later languges: german, dutch, norwegian, swede,... and english; that for some reason, it does sound allmost exactlly as the original asgardian language (maybe Shakespeare was an asgardian who lived in earlly modern england and with his literature helped old meieval anglo-saxon to become modern 'asgardian' english)
@@dhorn4005 but wasnt thor being able to understand groots language considered an elective on asgard implying that they do indeed need to learn langauges
Of course that's just factually untrue, especially with pompeii. Any disturbances would result in the ash covered bodies being in different spots or positions, which would have an impact when future archeologists dig up the site.
Unless Loki and Mobius were meant to go to that moment and do what they were supposed to do. Causing those people to move exactly where they were supposed be, them being in Pompeii was the causal nexus. In the end it does not matter time travel doesn't work and can't, once you change something you'd never have to change it therefore it returns where it was.
Ah, yes, you have found the one non-perfectly-realistic detail of the Loki series. Could you please post the lines, re-translated into the dialect of that place in that time?
It depends on what "Variance energy" is. Possibly, variance energy is the amount the universal timeline is disturbed by an action. Because any action taken in this time & place has little consequence in any vicinity outside the village about to be destroyed anyway, it wouldn't show up as a disturbance in the universal timeline. Now if they for example, left behind a cell phone? That was eventually picked up by archaeologists? That would definitely make an impact. But you have a lot more leeway in what won't show up just before an apocalyptic event. If it weren't about to be destroyed, you'd be absolutely right. But that change just doesn't have time to cascade into a branch.
