the real villain:



seriously, why not kill variants, and then prune their corpses? why take the risk of having an planet full of the thing you are most afraid of running around? and their powers work there as well?

Just found this. It runs down the comic origins of the Time Keepers and their nefarious counterparts, the Time Twisters.

https://marvel.fandom.com/wiki/Time-Twisters.

I think this may be where we are headed with this. Not gonna go into detail in case people want to really get a surprise (if this is what it ends up being).

It is possible, considering we know that they were sent to a place at the end of time itself, that they are about to walk up on He Who Remains. Maybe that's when they will get the explanation of the two groups of three Time Things (twisters and keepers) and realize they've been dealing with the Twisters the whole time and not the Keepers. Immortus (Kang) was running the TVA on behalf of the Twisters thinking he was working with the Keepers.

If it is the Beyonder, it is for amusement. Wants to watch them fight it out.

What's weird is that the trailers have already seemingly "spoiled" that it's a Loki in the castle, with these four shots we've yet to see in the first five episodes. Granted, the latter two shots could ultimately end up being some kind flashback instead, but it also makes me think there will still be one last twist in store...

No idea if this season will end on a cliffhanger or not, but it already accomplished what Disney wanted; ret-conning Loki's 'death' in Endgame so that he can reappear in future marvel movies.

I know it's a part of comics to have fakeout deaths, but like Iron Man, I thought his death was earned and a nice close to his arc (trying to save his brother and stop Thanos).

Did a lot of you all love English Lit in high school or college? You all find symbolism is every scene.
Reminds me of how my dad has seen a clipping penalty on every punt return in human history.
Was your dad a Big 12 Referee at most A&M Football Games in the early 2000's?
My dad holds 3 things as holy in this world.

1) Clipping on every punt return.

2) Aggie football died the night we blew it against UCLA a few years back.

3) No submarine scene in any movie or TV show in entertainment history has ever depicted the inside of a submarine correctly, based on the one time my dad went on a submarine belonging to the Finnish Navy when he as in Denmark working for Texaco.

Loki leaving with the tesseract during the time heist happened in the movies so it's not really retconning.

IW*, not Endgame. My bad.

I'm still not 100% convinced they're going to use Loki in the movies other than possibly in a different timeline/universe/whatever.

I'll still be fairly surprised if there's ever anything in the shows that's crucial viewing for the movies.

This is the only theory I haven't seen most places that probably won't happen but it's a nice out of the box style thinking with a cool cameo and wrap up to a storyline

Damn. I need to catch up on the show.

That would be interesting.

I do hope that somehow we get more info on the TVA but maybe that's to come in the future. Like, it's MASSIVE apparently and we've only seen a handful of people in one small part of it.

I refuse to acknowledge this theory because it would require me to acknowledge Thor 2's existence.

Personally, I have found very little that i have actually enjoyed in this series. Some of the dialogue has been very engaging but the overall story has been lackluster. I found I like this the least of the three shows by far.

Posting for posterity in case it's right...I had a funny feeling back since episode 3 that she'd end up being his mother.

That said there's no way I'm right.

TVA head is a Loki, makes the most sense in the confines of this show. I'm ready to be disappointed, if not.

Technically. He who remains. Kang was never once mentioned. Just his different versions


Also, what. A. TWIST!!! She punted his ass into a new timeline!!'

And post credits is season 2 confirmed!! Woo hoo!!!

I LOVE the actor playing "Kang" he was pretty dang dope!

After two series of big bads being theorized and cast aside, they actually brought out the big guns. Prepare for all the weirdness coming down the pipeline. I hope this means they can finally get a spidey trailer out there now that multiverses are official

I love how Marvel takes what you know is coming and still makes it a surprise.

To everyone who kept telling us Marvel will never introduce a major villain in the Disney+ shows, nor will they feature major MCU plot turns... we'll, Loki just did both.

What an incredible finale. What an awesome setup for things to come.

And yeah, Jonathan Majors as Kang is, indeed, dope.

Sh*t's about to get crazy.

I'm pretty firm on believing that the person we saw was "he who remains" Nathaniel Richards from earth in the 31st century. The closed captions always said he who remained anyways. But he said who he was in his watch animation.

And when he says I'll see you soon. That was the unleashing of the multiverse.

Kang the Conqueror is just a Variant, and is an evil version. It's like saying there is a "good" version of Loki out there somewhere.

The final two images were never even featured in-series. I wonder if that scene was simply cut, or they actually shot that solely to throw people off.
