This really is the beginning of the Multiverse Saga for Marvel. I love what this show did for Loki's character arc. It may, technically, not be the same Loki we've known, who lived through the events of The Dark World, Ragnarok, and Infinity War... but it is still one who got to see how that all went and really seemed to experience it as though he was living through it all, himself. He learns to see through the lie of the glorious purpose that he believed in for his whole life. He's the god of mischief, yes... but he can be so much more... and through this show, you really start to see him come to understand and believe that for himself. This show, especially season 2, has elevated Loki to be my favorite MCU character, hands down. Not my favorite _hero_... but character overall. And, I expect that he's really going to hold that position for me. For all time. Always. What If...? is a great show, and I think you'll have a lot of fun with it. I won't say that every episode in the first season is a hit on first viewing, but it is still a great show. Season 2 is even better... much the same with Loki. And, look. Some of the ride gets a bit bumpy, but on the whole... it really is still a good ride. Don't let anyone tell you what you should and shouldn't like.

This episode lines up perfectly with Wandavision finale. The thunderclaps happen at the end at the exact same time in the shows 24:14

Throg = It was Thor as a frog. In the comic and in the MCU, Thor mentioned the time when Lori turned Thor into a frog.

4:35 The "little person" in the buried jar was Throg, Thor turned into a frog, obviously another variant the TVA pruned.

So as you can see He Who Remains is a variant of a really dangerous villain named Kang the Conqueror. In the comics he's one of the original villains that the Avengers fought. By killing He Who Remains, Sylvie basically tore open the Multiverse with all the branches. And this is why me and others are told you guys how the older Marvel movies are gonna come into play very very soon, sooner than you think, which I'm also glad that you already at least watched the first X-Men movie which helps you understand these characters and universes and so on and so forth... The Infinity Saga (phases 1-3) only focused on the Sacred Timeline which is Earth-199999 or Earth-616 and that's all there was to it, but now there are billions of other universes out there that exist. Some variants might look the same (like with Loki), other variants look completely different (also with Loki). I don't wanna say too much cause there's a lot more to go, y'all are still in phase 4, but us in real time are in the middle of phase 5. Get ready for some crazy stuff moving forward :)

Hi, at the begining the he who remains,s variants were the principal villians of this saga but Kevin Feige president of Marvel Studios decided to change the villian because Jonathan Majors had problems with the law

Yeah I've been wondering if they're still doing the multiverse saga or if they're pivoting due to Majors. I've tuned out Disney for a bit so idk what's changed.

Loki Season 2 is amazing. His character arc is the best in the MCU and when you see what happens you won't believe it!

You can watch Antman 3 then Loki season 2. Black Widow and What If can be watched anytime.

@moonknightcrawler ehhh. There's a throwaway line at the end of season 2 and that's it. Loki gives more context to Ant Man 3 and not the other way around.
