What a finale. This episode left me with so many thoughts and feelings. Wonder, heartbreak for Loki, and a many more questions than answers. It was FULL of deep conversations that left my head spinning. Everything we've been building towards this entire season- the mystery of the TVA, Loki's personal growth, Sylvie's revenge- it all came crashing down in such a heavy way. And the dynamic between Loki and Sylvie was the heart of it all. Watching them fight, not out of selfishness, but because of who they've become on this journey, was devastating to watch unfold. Loki begging for caution was such a huge change from the trickster we met in Episode 1. And Sylvie shoving him away? My heart broke for him. She got what she wanted, but it costed her literally everything. Including trust. The final scene leaves me excited for Season 2. Loki, back at the TVA, but it's much different than the one he left. There are so many questions now, and I feel like we're just scratching the surface of something massive. He Who Remains HAS to be a bigger part of the MCU, possibly even up there with Thanos? Next, I'll be jumping into The Falcon and the Winter Soldier! I'm VERY ready to shift the tone. I absolutely loved my time in WandaVision and Loki, but it'll be fun to shift from cosmic timelines to something grounded with real-world consequences again!

I’m excited for you know more with this new saga. He Who Remains is a variant of a big character in the Marvel lore & one of The Avengers biggest threats in the comics without getting into spoilers of course. As you saw in the episode, he explains his background and how he prevent a war between himself & his variants but resulted in having the TVA destroy timelines. Also the fact that the MCU that we been following was all played out by He Who Remains. Now that he’s gone, the multiverse is open, his variants are out on the loose and the MCU going forward can go on with any direction without having someone determine events & people’s fates.

He Who Remains, A.K.A, Kang. MCU fans had an idea what was going to transpire with the introduction of him. He is a huge villain in the comics. I wrote a bunch more but reading other's comments, I get the gist that even though what's going on now has been out there a 3 or 4 years behind the scenes, that I thought I should not say too much of current plans. I'm sure it will be explained when you hit a certain point in your journey if you haven't heard any of it already.

Hey Kali! Loved your reaction, as always. He Who Remains IS a big character in the comics, but I can't say more without spoiling anything comic OR MCU. Fun fact: the ending credit scene where it says "Loki will return" and it stamps his sheet, he's still Laufeyson. When he died in Infinity War, he identified as Odinson. So this Loki is still not necessarily a "Good Loki" . Also, I don't know if you caught it, but after Sylvie pushes Loki back to the TVA, every clock has multiple minute and hour hands, showing she already did what she did and the Sacred Timeline is going bonkers with different branches.

Even on a rewatch, my brain hurts trying to take in everything that was put down LOL. You'd think that all the questions would finally be answered in that castle, but instead we got hundreds more in its place I think one of my favorite parts of this series overall was just watching Loki's growth. We've known him for so long and have come to understand what we can expect from him. But we got to see a version of him who actually learned from his mistakes to be a better person Watching this series again with you was Loki a great time! (sorry had to put one of those in finally hahaha). Looking forward to Falcon and the Winter Soldier next! I really enjoyed that one

Great reaction! I loved the thought provoking nature of this episode and how it does make you question what is the right thing to do. Also, just the whole idea of someone determining the exact events that need to happen with everything throughout time to ensure versions of himself never exist, and then dictating that specific flow of time for ages is a wild concept to me. I love it. This finale really made the whole season for me and got me so excited to see what happens next. All I will say is I can't wait for you to react to season 2! This version of Loki has one of the best arcs in the MCU, in my opinion.

The Ms. Minutes jump scare LOL

Something that will really bake your noodle - is everything we are watching in Phase 4 part of the sacred timeline or is it an alternate timeline? This Loki's journey in this show started before Endgame concluded. Are the events of WandaVision the sacred timeline or is it an alternate timeline inadvertently created by Sylvie killing He Who Remains? Are the events of The Falcon and the Winter Soldier part of the sacred timeline or an alternate timeline? Does it even happen on the same timeline as Wandavision? 🤯 By his own admission, He Who Remains is a villain. But he genuinely seems to believe he is the least bad of his variants. In his mind, preserving a singular universe is infinitely better than trying to conquer multiple universes. He believes he is trying to prevent the multiversal war that created the situation he finds himself in to begin with. But at the actual end of time Sylvie's actions make possible this multiversal war to occur.

I had a FEELING he was a bigger threat like Thanos. Especially with some of the Thanos easter eggs sprinkled throughout this entire series. Very interested to see where this is all going moving forward. But I had a feeling the Avengers would have to get involved with this guy. He seems very intense lol

kaliwali

Thank you for not spoiling anything about He Who Remains! It's fun to be in the dark for now, even though I'm sure his comics are incredible! I haven't read those yet either tho, obviously lol. I had a feeling that He Who Remains would be a huge threat after this episode.. And all the easter eggs to Thanos sprinkled throughout this series have me thinking that isn't a coincidence. It's wild to think that the Loki's brought on his return.. But it also seems sadly fitting 🤣 I can't wait to see where it all branches from here! (timeline pun intended lol)

kaliwali

Ahhh I had a feeling the Loki "Laufeyson" was a drop of some sort. But thank you for helping me put that one together! I did notice the hands as well, but thought maybe it was a normal thing LOL. There was sooo much going on in this episode that it'll definitely be worth a rewatch before I jump into Season 2! Very excited to see how this all ties into the MCU tho and of course Season 2 when we get there!

kaliwali

The conversation with He Who Remains was everything! There were so many comments to think harder about and branch on.. It seriously had my head feeling heavy and full of possibilities and questions lol. And I think that was honestly my favorite part of this season, too! Seeing Loki finally blossom into the person I wish he was throughout the MCU movies but always being tricked and saddened by his deception was actually super wholesome! And the Loki pun baaaahahahahaha! I'm really glad I decided to 'rewatch' this one and not just skip on. It was definitely an awesome ride and gets me very excited for Season 2!

kaliwali

I totally agree! The twists and mental gymnastics I was going through as we finally learned the truth behind The One Who Remains was insane! But definitely made the entire series so much better and worth the slower moments and mystery behind it all. It was executed perfectly. And yesss, definitely excited for Season 2 now after this finale! I totally agree that this variant of Loki is the best and his arc has been so wholesome and inspiring to watch play out. Thank you for joining me in this Season!

I'm a bit late to the party, but I loved your reaction to this finale! I really enjoy watching you turn over every detail and question everything. This finale is particularly great for that, because it really does keep you guessing right up until the last moment. And it makes sense. You almost don't want to believe what He Who Remains is saying. Freedom is the ultimate good, so it's easy to want to prioritize it even if he's being genuine. But then you run into the question, "kill the dictator, and what takes his place?" Such a deep-cutting line. What could be worse than a dictator? Most people probably wouldn't want to consider that there may be a very real answer to that question. Can't wait for you to start Season 2. There aren't many shows I'm which I can say that the second season is just as good, if not better than the first, but Loki is exceptional. You can tell they put a lot of thought and heart into this series, and Loki's personal transformation is really inspired, unfolding layers to a character that already had so many to begin with. Thanks for sharing you experience with us! Looking forward to your future reactions, as always.

Laufey is the king (God) of the frost giants and Loki was his firstborn son. The truce they made involved Odin basically stealing the Prince of the Frost Realm and making him Asgardian so Laufey had no heir. The Frost Giants were effectively castrated (sorry for the word choice). It was cruel diplomacy because Laufey knew he could not beat Odin, He gave away his son for "peace". That's also why he hates Asgard. But also, this was 1500 years ago and Odin was not kind back then.

kaliwali

You're never too late to the party! Thanks for such an awesome and insightful comment. This finale really gave me a lot to think about and I really enjoyed it for that! You summed up that central dilemma pretty perfectly. "Kill the dictator, and what takes his place?" That line cuts deep every time. It's one of those moments that actually make you sit with your thoughts and realize how tangled the ideas of freedom, control, and responsibility actually are. And you're right- It's uncomfortable to consider something even worse could be next. But that's what makes the ending so effective! It really makes you sit in these questions. I'm really excited (and a bit nervous!) for Season 2 knowing that it holds up or even surpasses the first! Loki's growth has been one of the most rewarding character arcs to follow and I loved that this season was afraid to slow down and really explore his emotional journey. It was beautiful for that! See you in Falcon/Winter Soldier next! I'm really excited to dive in this week!

It's too bad Marvel dropped the actor who played Kang the Conqueror. Jonathan Majors was caught beating his girlfriend. And so, Marvel did not want this actor in any more Marvel movies. You see, the next big villain in the MCU was supposed to be Kang the Conqueror. Since the MCU dropped Majors, they had to change to Dr. Doom being the next big villain.
