He is a trickster god after all, and no choice should be hard to one who sees existence through a more flippant lens. After everything he experienced this season, he uncovered it was mostly a trick set up by He Who Remains to prove a point about the hard choices – a notion Loki has doggedly resisted his entire life. With concerns of the ongoing Marvel saga out of the way, let’s look at what happened to Loki.

The frustrating thing: We may have to wait until 2025 or even 2026 for any of this to be expanded upon, as the rest of Phase Five concerns itself with more Earth-bound issues. Meanwhile, is the TVA aware of the Council of Kangs depicted in Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania’s mid-credit scene? Are these the true battle lines or is something else waiting to be revealed? Is it possible they will start seeking out recognizable heroes or their variants to build a bulwark against what the Kangs? Is there a better way than the predetermined destiny He Who Remains mapped out for everyone in his attempt to prevent total destruction across all time, space, and possibility?Īlso, is destruction in every facet of the Multiverse the only outcome of the Kang desire to install a dynasty across all existence?įor the moment, the TVA is the only group even aware of the problem, much as Thor ( Chris Hemsworth) was the only one cognizant of the danger the Infinity Stones represented as Phase Two drew to a close. The threat of total Multiversal war among the other HWR variants is still very real and, as mentioned by Hunter B-15 ( Wunmi Mosaku) in the finale’s closing moments, those variants – we’ll call them Kangs for simplicity’s sake – are as unaware of the TVA as the heroes of Earth are of the Kangs themselves.įor all the lack of clarity about the Multiverse Saga across the Phase Four and Five projects to date, this appears to be the true conflict hidden in the actions of wielders of mighty shields, Wakandan queens, various Marvels, or guardians of the galaxy. In the end, Loki took it upon himself to replace the Temporal Loom and all of He Who Remains’ ( Jonathan Majors) handiwork in the hopes the Time Variance Authority and his friends could find a better way than what He Who Remains set in motion. (Warning: Spoilers follow for Loki season 2, episode 6: “Glorious Purpose”)įirst, let’s look the future Loki sets up. So was the purpose of Loki, as a series, just to set up subsequent events for Marvel Studios’ Multiverse Saga, or was there something more to it? Let’s take one last look at the season, investigate that which remains, and see if our favorite god of mischief was changed by it all.

Even the character moments are as wrapped up in that concept, as Loki ( Tom Hiddleston) is with the notion of purpose. Doing 10 episodes or 12 episodes the way Tom Hiddleston told me he was doing on Loki with that kind of budget and that Marvel Cinematic production team.'ĭespite the statement, Gregg could have simply been mistaken over the number of episodes in the series, or it could be an indication of more to come.After six startling weeks of mind-bending ideas and equally strange visuals, Loki ended its second season – and possibly its whole series – Thursday night with key questions solved and, of course, a few that remain.Īs part of an ongoing saga, that which remains is a big takeaway from Loki. The star continued: 'I'd be lying if I didn't say boy, that would really be interesting to start the experiment over. Moore’s comments could also back up a statement Clark Gregg made back in May when he told Variety that Tom Hiddleston had done “10 episodes or 12 episodes” of Loki.Ĭlark Gregg, who played Agent Coulson in the Marvel films and stars in the show Agents of SHIELD, has been working with Marvel since the original Iron Man, released in 2008. While there have been Marvel shows in the past, such as Netflix’s Daredevil which does connect to the MCU, Loki is a direct tie-in to the film that hasn’t been done before on this level.
