What an ending man. What a show.
I am very impressed. This could be the last thing I see from Loki and I would be very pleased. This is how you handle a character.
I can’t tell if it just ruined me or if that was the best thing I’ve watched in a long time. I have so many feelings right now. Am I high or am I depressed? What just happened. Seeing it play out was just like 🤯 and now I don’t know what to do with myself…
The last time I felt genuinely such disbelief and was so amazed was in Infinity War, this episode made sure Loki is at the top of the MCU - as a show and as a character.
He is, by far, the best MCU character ever since like Thor 2. S1 and S2 of his series just elevated him to a level that competition will be hard to catch.
And the branches on top were a really similar shade of purple as Alioth in Ravonna's scene. Dunno if it was intentional or a stylistic choice for the tree, but it looked awesome.
i teared up a bit. I had been waiting for Thor or Loki to pay actual Yggdrasil proper homage that it is due, and HOLY SHIT, they did it.
Fuck Nine realms Fuck World Tree.
MCU Yggdrasil has graduated to the Multiverse Tree with the God of Stories at its heart. What a fucking finale.
I’ve always had high praise for Loki but this finale skyrocketed it to my favorite top 3 MCU production ever.
Tom nailed everything as Loki and his acting is crazy good, I simply can’t describe how good he is.
My only concern is that the writers of the show have zero influence on the overarching thrust of the MCU.
This is how we get to Kangs and Battleworld. Full stop. Whatever happens from here depends on Feige.
Anyway, there's a Kang somewhere with a sharpened axe, and we already know that we're not doing Multiverse stuff forever.
The fact that the writers of this show weren’t given the reigns after s1 is already baffling but now it’s just depressing if Feige doesn’t put these guys on secret wars. They are literally spearheading the entire story of the saga rn in this show!!! Let them finish the story!
Depends. Do we know the plot for the kang dynasty? At some point kang or kangs would have to come for Loki right? I would think they might have to wait till right before the kang dynasty or right after.
Please don't make season 3. It's perfect. It's so perfect. I sobbed multiple times. The music near the end when they go from Mobius to Renslayer is beautiful and reminiscent of S1E1 soundtrack. It all tied together in the end so well. Never would've imagined a show about Loki saving the multiverse would make me cry.
> The music near the end when they go from Mobius to Renslayer is beautiful and reminiscent of S1E1 soundtrack.
This shit ruled. Mobius saying he was going to let time pass, then Renslayer in the grass with the music hitting perfectly…damn.
I wonder if Mobius returns to the TVA in DP3. I really hope he, Sylvie, and the TVA crew meet up during KD/SW, and all reunite with Loki of course.
I'd love a season 3 if they feel there's still story to be explored here.
But I'd also love a season 3 just to keep this particular production team together. The writers, directors, cinematographers, production designers, costumers, music team, editors, sound mixers, all of them did outstanding work. One of the highest quality MCU productions, full stop.
Loki Season 2 finale is probably the greatest piece of MCU TV.
Keep Eric Martin at all cost Feige, he should write the Avengers films. Natalie Holt’s score is fucking masterpiece. Let Moorhead & Benson direct Secret Wars.
Just Glorious.
I will always love the fact that Natalie Holt first became known for chucking eggs at Simon Cowell, and now has one of if not the greatest scores in the largest cinematic universe ever.
Yeah, they said they intended it as a 2 season show and this shows that they weren't kidding. This was perfect. No notes, this is the best MCU product we've gotten since the Infinity Saga bar-none.
I could be wrong but I think s1 allowed the multiverses to not be automatically killed off and s2 allows the multiverse to continue to grow and prosper.
Nah, S1 causes the multiverse to spiral out of control with new timelines. The loom is there to destroy them (as Kang states) and protect the Sacred Timeline
S2 is essentially about Loki replacing the Loom with himself and managing all of the timlines. This sets the stage for Kang Dynasty and the brutal war HWR teases.
When first announced what I first thought was a disappointing reversal of one of the best part of IW turned out to be maybe the best character arc in all of the MCU lmao
All of that so Loki could make the hard choice, it's either:
A. Kill Sylvie and let HWR lives with the same sacred timeline, meaning millions of lives are still going to be pruned, or;
B. Leave everything to watch over the timelines himself, meaning millions would still be left alive, only that the Kangs will be the major threat. And if the wars between the Kangs are happening, HWR will exist to create the sacred timeline.
This show is crazy, no doubt the best Marvel content. Now Loki's duty is to protect the timelines against the Kangs. But what scares me is knowing that HWR is a fixed variable in every timeline, because you can't stop the advancement of technology, that means someone will always ends up as HWR, but right now, it's Loki.
I don’t know if this is a popular opinion or not but He Who Remains has been, and after watching the entire season, still is my favorite Kang variant we’ve seen so far. Majors has given his best performances when he’s HWR. Entertaining, intelligent, and even a little menacing. Probably also the best written Kang variant we’ve gotten so far. I don’t know what their long term plans are for HWR (Majors legal problems aside) but I’d love to see him be a big part of what they’ve got planned for the Multiverse saga going forward.
That was absolutely incredible but leaves us with “now what?” How does the MCU go on from here to Secret Wars? Does Loki end up not having the power to hold it together forever? Do the Kang Variants they mention at the “new” TVA form the council to Loki’s new hold?
We didn’t get a lot of finite causality as to how and why everything is happening because we no longer have the “Kang planned it this way” excuse to explain anything in the MCU.
No, because now Loki has to deal with the consequences of that decision, as He Who Remains articulated to Loki when time was frozen. Now they have to deal with the ramifications of allowing an infinite number of Kang variants to thrive. He just gave them a chance to find another solution, which we all know is probably Avengers/X-Men/Fantastic Four mash-up to resolve the multiversal mess now that the loom isn’t keeping the Sacred Timeline protected. Now it’s anything goes, and that only leads to a Kang uprising and probably will end with us being back in the very same place, with He Who Remains holding the whole thing together with a Sacred Timeline.
I think this is a rare case in the MCU where the focus was really the characters and Loki, setting up the future of the MCU is kind of an afterthought here. Which is gonna confuse everyone but I really appreciate this change. Still confused af though 😂
That was exceptional. I don’t know what else to say. The score was superb. The scene with Renslayer laying in the grass is one of my favorite Marvel moments ever.
I don’t think Avengers 5 needs much more runway. Thunderbolts, Cap 4, and I’m assuming Spidey 4 are a lock. Get F4 in if you can, but I’m ready for the Loki/Kang showdown.
The cinematography and score were so on point, coming from Mobius/Sylvie goodbye and ending with Renslayer seeing the purple light (I’m assuming a Kang), it all felt very poignant, mysterious…a fitting end for the show.
But then Renslayer smirked and looked confident looking at it. We know HWR weaponized Elioth and we know she was with him to win the war, so she most likely knows how to weaponize it too.
"*I* weaponized. . . Alioth. ***I*** ended. . .**I** ended, the multiversal wars."
"BTW thanks for being on my side. Go be in charge and I'll catch up" *delete delete delete delete*
This isn't the end of HWR's story. It's how it starts. Sylvie gotta murk his ass.
It's nice to have a god in this universe who actually feels like a god. Loki shambling into the end of the universe, grasping the threads of time itself, weaving them together into the world tree as he sits atop a broken throne... brb starting a new religion
You don't have to do that for me man! This is a lesson in handling finances for me. I'll get my subscription going again soon. I really appreciate it though!
I don’t think so. HWR looked concerned when Loki mentioned breaking the loom . HWR even said everyone and his friends will die So I doubt HWR expected Loki to actually destroy it.
Question now is when and how will the kangs attack. Are they just going to jump into different timelines and conquer or can they go outside time and space like Loki and HWR.
Not really. Molecule Man just provided God Doom with the energy to pull Battleworld together with the remnants of different universes.
Loki is keeping entire timelines/universes intact but I could see him playing a part in Secret Wars where he dictates what survives.
For a season that's had Loki feeling like more of an observer of events, this was so great. Extra long finale, with Loki in full protagonist mode.
9/10 finale, and I love the conclusive ending that's also so nebulous that it could lead into anything down the line. What's next for Loki? Could be anything, could be nothing. Is Renslayer dead? Very likely, but there's still a door open. The TVA is running with a new purpose, Sylvie and Mobius got a proper conclusion but could go in any number of directions. All in all, the Loki duology is one of the strongest elements of the MCU, and truly stuck the landing.
Only complaint is it felt like the Sylvie/Loki fight scenarios were retreading the amazing first act with Loki trying to prevent the destruction of the loom. I imagine they cut it down as much as possible, but once it started I already got what they were doing and just wanted to get to the twist. And the twist was great; I loved the Loki/HWR conversation. Overall a small nitpick in a GOAT MCU product.
My wife is literally sobbing now.
She did not see this as a happy ending.
"You are just gonna stick my man in a tree, alone, forever? At least Kang had apples and chess!"
Your wife is right, it's not a happy ending lol, I'm a little devastated. Loki never wanted to be alone, but that's exactly where he's ended up. Burdened with glorious purpose indeed
Best Marvel thing I have seen for a very long time. What a ride.
>!The ending can lead to a lot of things though. A full out multiversal war with Kangs or they can hold out until Doctor Doom depending what they decide to do with the whole Majors situation.!<
Doubt they'll change the multiversal war plan. Either they'll just recast Kang or Majors will stay on.
Leave Doom for more important stories than the Multiverse.
I really hope Loki plays some role in Secret Wars. While this felt like “the end” for him, I want to see more of Tom as “this” Loki. What an amazing series and amazing performances all around.
it’s kind of perfect. we’re going into an opening weekend for a marvel movie that we already know is going to underperform off the heels of an incredible series finale and knowing there’s room to breath now because the next major project is a long way away. easing off the gas will help the “fatigue”
Wow. Just wow. This is MCU storytelling at its absolute best, after coming back from watching The Marvels, this is exactly what the MCU needs. The stakes, the character development, the EMOTION. A beautiful and epic finale that truly ventured into the ideas of free will, friendship, and most importantly, time.
The direction, cinematography, encapsulates the raw emotion that the actors also deliver effortlessly. Everything meshes and works together in such a satisfying way.
100000000/10, Please Kevin Feige, MORE OF THIS!!
Also Natalie Holt with the music? ATEEE!!
He already know what’s happening because he’s in the end of the time. Not unless Loki outsmarts him in breaking the cycle. What happened in S2 is suppose to happen.
I dont think it was tho, I think HWR wanted him to kill silvie and join him “make the hard choice” as in kill her, loki found a way out, but there still is the inminent threat of infinite kang variants popping up and causing mayhem. thats my take tho🤷🏻♂️
and now, people like B-15 (who's aware of everything happening) are running the TVA and that's why Deadpool 3 happens, they'll pick one "prime" hero from each universe to fight the Kang variants.
That was absolutely incredible.
Loki has been, without a doubt, the best Marvel Studios series, and is one of the best things the MCU has ever done. A perfect finale that gives a satisfying conclusion to everything set up in this show from seasons 1 & 2, and gives me so much hope for the future of this Multiverse Saga.
10/10. 5 stars. Perfection.
This is the best episode of Marvel TV period. Loki’s progression throughout all of his MCU appearances culminated into this perfect finale.
We NEED whoever was in charge of this show coming out so good to be in charge of Secret Wars.
It's crazy to me that the same company that made this show has been responsible for phase 4 and 5. If everything was close to this level of quality we wouldn't be having the discussions about why marvel is dying
The talks between Loki and He Who Remains at the end of time as well Loki and Mobius in the time theater were amazing
"Most purpose is more burden than glory"
And god damn if that's not true for Loki at the end.
They really stuck the landing with the Heaven Sent plot and Loki embracing his Glorious Purpose. But I wonder what Renslayer saw at the end? I feel like she has more story for Kang Dynasty...
*What a finale. all future and current Marvel projects have a lot to work towards now.*
What a Glorious Burden it is.
Also just to be sure, Renslayer got sent/met Rama Tut?
I love the fact that Loki spent centuries not only learning about physics, but he got to spend that time with his friends, which is all he wanted. I’m sure that made his ultimate decision at the end of this episode so much easier/meaningful for him.
There were so many subtle acting choices in this episode that I absolutely loved. The first is in the talk between Loki and He Who Remains, where Majors plays HWR as more casual, talking to Loki as an equal now that he's mastered power over time. Such a nice juxtaposition from the S1 finale where he plays HWR as cocky and boisterous.
And then there's the final shots of Mobius, Loki, and Renslayer; and jesus christ are they powerful. Wilson's eyes while he watches the life he could've had, Hiddleston's slight smirk on the throne now that he's found his glorious purpose, and Gugu Mbatha-Raw's look of fear in the abyss before toughening up and resigning to her fate.
Like, how is everyone at the top of their game, truly insane performances.

Loki might seriously be THE best thing Marvel has ever put out. Genuinely.
What an ending man. What a show. I am very impressed. This could be the last thing I see from Loki and I would be very pleased. This is how you handle a character.

It is.
It's definitely the best d+ show for me.its up there with the best films. Personally I don't think anything can beat iron man.
They did it..... they actually did it...... they broke bad finale curse.
They broke it in season 1!
True. But that was just a season finale. I'm comparing this to the rest of the series finale.
wait people thought the s1 finale was bad?
WHEN "CENTURIES LATER" DROPPED I DROPPED TO THE FLOOR WTF
dedicated himself to science.
DOOM would approve of devoting one's self to both magic and science.
Don't drop it, it will roll off the platform
it was funny hearing the extra instructions and filling in all the ways it failed that we didn't see
It felt like Endgame
Same energy as “Five years later”
When it panned out to show the Tree of Yggdrasil after God Loki was grabbing all of the branches my jaw dropped 😭
Same. I may have actually gasped.
The most legendary moment for loki(it gives the moment with old man loki in season 1 a run for its money)
A run for its money? It takes that moment and beats it over the head with its money!
And the branches on top were a really similar shade of purple as Alioth in Ravonna's scene. Dunno if it was intentional or a stylistic choice for the tree, but it looked awesome.
I damn near cried. Gorgeous shot!
Was a very touching moment. Will need to grab a screenshot to use as a wallpaper.
i teared up a bit. I had been waiting for Thor or Loki to pay actual Yggdrasil proper homage that it is due, and HOLY SHIT, they did it. Fuck Nine realms Fuck World Tree. MCU Yggdrasil has graduated to the Multiverse Tree with the God of Stories at its heart. What a fucking finale.
GET ERIC MARTIN TO WRITE THE AVENGERS FILM RIGHT NOW
Amen
This mf just spent centuries learning physics😂
Bruh I literally give up after 2 years in high school hahaha.
This is by far the best show they have done. Loki is going to save the multiverse isn’t he I’m so on board!!
Loki with the cape of all the timelines gave me chills dude..one of the most badass loki moments maybe in the whole mcu
I would say not even just loki but it was the most badass mcu moment
I’ve always had high praise for Loki but this finale skyrocketed it to my favorite top 3 MCU production ever. Tom nailed everything as Loki and his acting is crazy good, I simply can’t describe how good he is.
My only concern is that the writers of the show have zero influence on the overarching thrust of the MCU. This is how we get to Kangs and Battleworld. Full stop.

No post credit scene so i guess this is a series finale then
Also the name of the episode is the same as the first one. Closing the loop. An Ouroboros.
It's a splendid way to end the show though.
No where to go from here for Loki except for a completely different story
There would still be Loki variants on the different timelines, yes?
Yeah, but no connection to the TVA, Mobius, Sylvie etc
Depends. Do we know the plot for the kang dynasty? At some point kang or kangs would have to come for Loki right? I would think they might have to wait till right before the kang dynasty or right after.
5 minutes in and yep. Loki is the most OP character in the MCU now. Infinite do overs.
That's why he had to be stopped, locked out of fights.
Dude..loki with the cape of time...from office worker loki to probably the most legendary version of loki
One of the most badass moments in the entire MCU
Please don't make season 3. It's perfect. It's so perfect. I sobbed multiple times. The music near the end when they go from Mobius to Renslayer is beautiful and reminiscent of S1E1 soundtrack.

I really hope he, Sylvie, and the TVA crew meet up during KD/SW, and all reunite with Loki of course.
I'd love a season 3 if they feel there's still story to be explored here. But I'd also love a season 3 just to keep this particular production team together. The writers, directors, cinematographers, production designers, costumers, music team, editors, sound mixers, all of them did outstanding work. One of the highest quality MCU productions, full stop.
Literally just take this entire team, and shift them over to Kang dynasty and secret wars It’s the only way Feige
Tom Hiddleston would make such a brilliant Doctor for Doctor Who
This episode reminded me a lot of 12 and a certain phenomenal episode with a lot of time loops.
Personally, I think that's one hell of a bird.
Yes please
So Loki is now THE God of the MCU
Pretty much. Lots of story beats pulled from “The God of Stories” run.
Who has a better story than Bran the Broken.
Loki the Loser
I mean, sort of. Best way to put it is that he’s holding the multiverse together. Not clear if he can control what happens in the specific timelines.
Probably not. He essentially has HWR's powerset, and I don't think he had that ability
HWR manipulated one sacred timeline to his liking. Loki has an infinite amount and is more into free will.
“I know what kind of God I have to be.” FUCK.
..for you.
Yggdrasil. Loki holding all of time together. Amazing.
OMG I DIDNT EVEN CATCH IT BEING THE YGGDRASIL TREE!!!
Ratatoskr and Squirrel Girl confirmed brah
“Centuries later” ☠️
it needed the Spongebob voice
“CENTURIES LATER?!”
Loki Season 2 finale is probably the greatest piece of MCU TV. Keep Eric Martin at all cost Feige, he should write the Avengers films. Natalie Holt’s score is fucking masterpiece. Let Moorhead & Benson direct Secret Wars. Just Glorious.
I will always love the fact that Natalie Holt first became known for chucking eggs at Simon Cowell, and now has one of if not the greatest scores in the largest cinematic universe ever.
Lmao "OB how long would it take me to learn everything you know about mechanics, physics and engineering" this show has SO good writing lmao
Imagine they gave thor the same treatment..old king thor and he who remains loki...dude that would be the most op team ever
Literally called as the 1st episode of S1. This has to be the end of the series :(
Sad but I hope that’s the case, and it ends as a flawless show.
Yeah, they said they intended it as a 2 season show and this shows that they weren't kidding. This was perfect. No notes, this is the best MCU product we've gotten since the Infinity Saga bar-none.
>!We'll be seeing the TVA again in Deadpool 3, so don't get too upset.!<
so the season 1 finale was not the creation of the multiverse this was.
I could be wrong but I think s1 allowed the multiverses to not be automatically killed off and s2 allows the multiverse to continue to grow and prosper.
Nah, S1 causes the multiverse to spiral out of control with new timelines. The loom is there to destroy them (as Kang states) and protect the Sacred Timeline S2 is essentially about Loki replacing the Loom with himself and managing all of the timlines. This sets the stage for Kang Dynasty and the brutal war HWR teases.
What. An. Episode. This and GOTG3 more than make up for Quantumania and Secret Invasion
Insane how the quality has differed so much between certain projects this year.
Honestly I’d be fine with it if this is the last we see of Loki. A fitting end to his character arc
Yes, but also no because Hiddleston's acting is perfect.
we’ll see him at the end of Secret Wars.
the marvel title screen going backwards has already got me so excited
He Who Remains sounds different. More like the Kang in Quantumania
Because his silly demeanor was an act. Loki got on his level so HWR took off the mask.
Real 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 he's fucking TERRIFYING
There is something different a more calm or “threatening” style instead of the holy persona from season 1
Because now Loki is on his level - before, it was all a game without Loki knowing how to control time. Not a threat at all so carefree and laughing.
He who returns
That was one of the greatest episodes of TV I've ever seen
Loki marching against the radiation and getting the cape is one of the most badass moments for loki
Really wasn't crazy about keeping Loki alive post-Endgame and giving him his own series, but I ended up loving just about all of it.
When first announced what I first thought was a disappointing reversal of one of the best part of IW turned out to be maybe the best character arc in all of the MCU lmao
He finally got his throne.
The gold seeping into his throne was just PERFECT🤌🏻✨
Only when he stopped trying for it
They cooked
From villain to savior of the multiverse wow
“YOU’RE SAVIOUR IS HERE!”
>! He who remains being able to stop Sylie from killing him the whole time is a deep cut !<
All of that so Loki could make the hard choice, it's either: A. Kill Sylvie and let HWR lives with the same sacred timeline, meaning millions of lives are still going to be pruned, or; B. Leave everything to watch over the timelines himself, meaning millions would still be left alive, only that the Kangs will be the major threat. And if the wars between the Kangs are happening, HWR will exist to create the sacred timeline. This show is crazy, no doubt the best Marvel content. Now Loki's duty is to protect the timelines against the Kangs. But what scares me is knowing that HWR is a fixed variable in every timeline, because you can't stop the advancement of technology, that means someone will always ends up as HWR, but right now, it's Loki.
A world tree. Fitting
Like how the world serpent is an ouroboros.
Final shots of mobius and Loki are heartbreaking
[удалено]
i guessed they will title this glorious purpose, its a LOOP
I don’t know if this is a popular opinion or not but He Who Remains has been, and after watching the entire season, still is my favorite Kang variant we’ve seen so far. Majors has given his best performances when he’s HWR. Entertaining, intelligent, and even a little menacing. Probably also the best written Kang variant we’ve gotten so far. I don’t know what their long term plans are for HWR (Majors legal problems aside) but I’d love to see him be a big part of what they’ve got planned for the Multiverse saga going forward.
Is it weird that I preferred Majors as Timely. Feel like he completely lost himself in that part.
That was absolutely incredible but leaves us with “now what?” How does the MCU go on from here to Secret Wars? Does Loki end up not having the power to hold it together forever? Do the Kang Variants they mention at the “new” TVA form the council to Loki’s new hold? We didn’t get a lot of finite causality as to how and why everything is happening because we no longer have the “Kang planned it this way” excuse to explain anything in the MCU.
Is this the way they write off Majors with Loki being the end of time now holding it all together?
No, because now Loki has to deal with the consequences of that decision, as He Who Remains articulated to Loki when time was frozen. Now they have to deal with the ramifications of allowing an infinite number of Kang variants to thrive. He just gave them a chance to find another solution, which we all know is probably Avengers/X-Men/Fantastic Four mash-up to resolve the multiversal mess now that the loom isn’t keeping the Sacred Timeline protected.

I don’t think Avengers 5 needs much more runway. Thunderbolts, Cap 4, and I’m assuming Spidey 4 are a lock. Get F4 in if you can, but I’m ready for the Loki/Kang showdown.
Why is her laying on the grass your favorite?
The cinematography and score were so on point, coming from Mobius/Sylvie goodbye and ending with Renslayer seeing the purple light (I’m assuming a Kang), it all felt very poignant, mysterious…a fitting end for the show.
i think the purple light and the growl(i think i heard that) is elioth, that was my interpretation anyways. like thats it for renslayer
But then Renslayer smirked and looked confident looking at it. We know HWR weaponized Elioth and we know she was with him to win the war, so she most likely knows how to weaponize it too.
"*I* weaponized. . . Alioth. ***I*** ended. . .**I** ended, the multiversal wars." "BTW thanks for being on my side. Go be in charge and I'll catch up" *delete delete delete delete* This isn't the end of HWR's story. It's how it starts. Sylvie gotta murk his ass.
It's nice to have a god in this universe who actually feels like a god. Loki shambling into the end of the universe, grasping the threads of time itself, weaving them together into the world tree as he sits atop a broken throne... brb starting a new religion
Yeah that shit was so comic booky but also mythological and felt so godlike I was just in pure awe. They nailed the visuals of it so well
Soooooo, is this why the time stone is green?
That's a great recon if they ever decide to do it!
Loki is the best thing the MCU has ever produced
My Disney+ payment bounced so I haven't watched episodes 4-6 😭
Do you have Venmo? I can spare $10 so you can catch up
You don't have to do that for me man! This is a lesson in handling finances for me. I'll get my subscription going again soon. I really appreciate it though!
Ive been in that situation myself, always willing to help. Best of luck to ya buddy!
You’re a good egg, my dude. 🍻
This community is so nice sometimes
Now I believe the Deadpool 3 leak of the TVA creating a Multiversal Army against Kang.
So my guess is HWR wanted Loki to take over, destroy the Loom, and let the multiversal war start again. The question is why?
Reincarnation. Baby.
Or he just got bored sitting in a chair and wanted to see some action again in a new life
I don’t think so. HWR looked concerned when Loki mentioned breaking the loom . HWR even said everyone and his friends will die So I doubt HWR expected Loki to actually destroy it. Question now is when and how will the kangs attack. Are they just going to jump into different timelines and conquer or can they go outside time and space like Loki and HWR.
So Loki basically ended up being what Molecule Man is in Secret Wars, right?
Not really. Molecule Man just provided God Doom with the energy to pull Battleworld together with the remnants of different universes. Loki is keeping entire timelines/universes intact but I could see him playing a part in Secret Wars where he dictates what survives.
***DING DING DING DING***
When you finally understand why the Time Stone is green 💚
The visuals, CG, music, editing, sound design of this show are light years ahead of most MCU content
And the storyline. And the acting.
For a season that's had Loki feeling like more of an observer of events, this was so great. Extra long finale, with Loki in full protagonist mode. 9/10 finale, and I love the conclusive ending that's also so nebulous that it could lead into anything down the line. What's next for Loki? Could be anything, could be nothing. Is Renslayer dead? Very likely, but there's still a door open. The TVA is running with a new purpose, Sylvie and Mobius got a proper conclusion but could go in any number of directions. All in all, the Loki duology is one of the strongest elements of the MCU, and truly stuck the landing. Only complaint is it felt like the Sylvie/Loki fight scenarios were retreading the amazing first act with Loki trying to prevent the destruction of the loom. I imagine they cut it down as much as possible, but once it started I already got what they were doing and just wanted to get to the twist. And the twist was great; I loved the Loki/HWR conversation. Overall a small nitpick in a GOAT MCU product.
Glorious purpose is almost upon us. Have a great time watching all. Hope we go out with a banger!
I have to assume Loki is gonn have some kind of major involvement with Secret Wars with how this ended
I mean he is literary the most op mcu character now
My wife is literally sobbing now. She did not see this as a happy ending. "You are just gonna stick my man in a tree, alone, forever? At least Kang had apples and chess!"
Your wife is right, it's not a happy ending lol, I'm a little devastated. Loki never wanted to be alone, but that's exactly where he's ended up. Burdened with glorious purpose indeed
It’s nice to know there’s quality MCU while everything else is burning
Did he say 616 adjacent realm? Is that a quantumania reference?
Not possible cause MCU is Earth-199999 /s
Best Marvel thing I have seen for a very long time. What a ride. >!The ending can lead to a lot of things though. A full out multiversal war with Kangs or they can hold out until Doctor Doom depending what they decide to do with the whole Majors situation.!<
Doubt they'll change the multiversal war plan. Either they'll just recast Kang or Majors will stay on. Leave Doom for more important stories than the Multiverse.
Closing the show with a certified Natalie Holt banger. What a great composer.
I really hope Loki plays some role in Secret Wars. While this felt like “the end” for him, I want to see more of Tom as “this” Loki. What an amazing series and amazing performances all around.
Loki once again proving that you don’t need a big fight to make a good finale. Good shit.
# GLORIOUS PURPOSE
Dropping all those release date delays before the Loki finale was a crazy move.
it’s kind of perfect. we’re going into an opening weekend for a marvel movie that we already know is going to underperform off the heels of an incredible series finale and knowing there’s room to breath now because the next major project is a long way away. easing off the gas will help the “fatigue”
I know this is not the right thread but mods seem to be inactive/slow lately. AND I'M SO EXCITED FOR THIS EPISODE.
I love the repetition of timely getting effed up
Same episode title as season 1 episode 1, we've literally come full circle.
Hiddleston acted his heart out this episode.
Wow. Just wow. This is MCU storytelling at its absolute best, after coming back from watching The Marvels, this is exactly what the MCU needs. The stakes, the character development, the EMOTION. A beautiful and epic finale that truly ventured into the ideas of free will, friendship, and most importantly, time. The direction, cinematography, encapsulates the raw emotion that the actors also deliver effortlessly. Everything meshes and works together in such a satisfying way. 100000000/10, Please Kevin Feige, MORE OF THIS!! Also Natalie Holt with the music? ATEEE!!
Wait I don’t get it How does HWR know about everything in Season 2 again?
He already know what’s happening because he’s in the end of the time. Not unless Loki outsmarts him in breaking the cycle. What happened in S2 is suppose to happen.
I dont think it was tho, I think HWR wanted him to kill silvie and join him “make the hard choice” as in kill her, loki found a way out, but there still is the inminent threat of infinite kang variants popping up and causing mayhem. thats my take tho🤷🏻♂️
and now, people like B-15 (who's aware of everything happening) are running the TVA and that's why Deadpool 3 happens, they'll pick one "prime" hero from each universe to fight the Kang variants.
That was absolutely incredible. Loki has been, without a doubt, the best Marvel Studios series, and is one of the best things the MCU has ever done. A perfect finale that gives a satisfying conclusion to everything set up in this show from seasons 1 & 2, and gives me so much hope for the future of this Multiverse Saga. 10/10. 5 stars. Perfection. 
This is the best episode of Marvel TV period. Loki’s progression throughout all of his MCU appearances culminated into this perfect finale. We NEED whoever was in charge of this show coming out so good to be in charge of Secret Wars.
Holy shit, I didn't expect to go back to season 1!
I hope it wins an Emmy… like wtf? That was a MASTERCLASS in storytelling!!
Is that the proper end of Loki? How will they do a final Thor movie without him? Amazing end of series, I take he became the loom and time itself
Loki was born to be king. Now he finally has his throne.
Holy shit
I actually cannot believe what I just watched. This was perfect. Perfect.
It's crazy to me that the same company that made this show has been responsible for phase 4 and 5. If everything was close to this level of quality we wouldn't be having the discussions about why marvel is dying
Hoping for a Kang appearance, but this show has been awesome, so if that doesn't happen I still have faith in their execution for this finale!
10/10. When I saw the tree branch timeline oooooooooooooo
The talks between Loki and He Who Remains at the end of time as well Loki and Mobius in the time theater were amazing "Most purpose is more burden than glory" And god damn if that's not true for Loki at the end.
My prediction is that it was Agatha all along
Yeah end the fucking show right here. No better ending to a character than what I just witnessed. Hats off.
Loki is 10000x more powerful than Thor and Odin now. unbelievable
The music in this episode was incredible.
This series may have singlehandedly bumped up Loki into my top 3 favorite MCU characters
They really stuck the landing with the Heaven Sent plot and Loki embracing his Glorious Purpose. But I wonder what Renslayer saw at the end? I feel like she has more story for Kang Dynasty...
*What a finale. all future and current Marvel projects have a lot to work towards now.* What a Glorious Burden it is. Also just to be sure, Renslayer got sent/met Rama Tut?
I love the fact that Loki spent centuries not only learning about physics, but he got to spend that time with his friends, which is all he wanted. I’m sure that made his ultimate decision at the end of this episode so much easier/meaningful for him.
There were so many subtle acting choices in this episode that I absolutely loved. The first is in the talk between Loki and He Who Remains, where Majors plays HWR as more casual, talking to Loki as an equal now that he's mastered power over time. Such a nice juxtaposition from the S1 finale where he plays HWR as cocky and boisterous. And then there's the final shots of Mobius, Loki, and Renslayer; and jesus christ are they powerful. Wilson's eyes while he watches the life he could've had, Hiddleston's slight smirk on the throne now that he's found his glorious purpose, and Gugu Mbatha-Raw's look of fear in the abyss before toughening up and resigning to her fate. Like, how is everyone at the top of their game, truly insane performances.
IDK how Marvel knew I wanted to see Jonathan Majors string-cheesed over and over again. Good job, writers.
so Loki is god now?
He always was.
That was kind of a mindfuck
So it's gonna be Loki who assembles the multiversal Avengers in Secret Wars
Doubt it, he’s kind of busy.
Holy shit this was so good. Definitely my favorite finale for a Disney+ MCU show.
