Not as big as marvel’s ultimate bad guy, DR DOOM, the literal ultimate villain in every way in marvels cannon, is a pretty obvious choice. Loki is up there, especially with characters the MCU actually had rights too, since Sony got the majority lions share with the Spider-Man villians, there’s not a ton of super popular marvel villians other wise, the mandarin, red skull, and Loki are definitely the most recognizable at the time.

​@@LouBirdwell, he kinda stopped he who remain and gave others a chance to do like him "do something different" to prevent a new Kang version becoming he who remain in multiversal war.

How I saw this (opinion, please don't hate). He who remains was concerned about one timeline he could control. Loki is enabling all timelines to exist and is effectively anchoring the multiverse.

This is the best of the MCU... deliberate, well executed and honouring a beloved character.

[@Sozscimitar]

The multiverse is and has always been, it’s not like He who remains destroyed every other universe from the infinite amount. In S1E6 he said that he isolated the ”sacred” timeline so that other universes couldn’t touch them. The isolation means that you can’t let the timeline branch, otherwise it’s exposed.

So to me Loki is the greatest because he sacrificed a lot for his friend's free will, living eternity with the burden of the multiverse literally on his back. Unlike for example Tony, who was able to die peacefully and finally rest, Loki has to keep at it for however long. So that's why I believe he is the greatest. Not denying anyone else of being a great hero, but Loki is definitely leagues above in my personal opinion. I can see a reason for being any hero you'd mention or someone else mentioned.

I wish we got to see just a little bit of Loki learning everything, but I love the idea that Loki became the Yggdrasil (especially since that implies Loki is the reason the Norse gods exist in the MCU in the first place, which is nuts) and this is definitely both my favorite Disney+ Marvel show by far and probably aside from maybe Guardians 3 my favorite MCU project since Endgame.

[@memento81]

I really needed a bit more info on how Loki just knew how to reignite dying time strands in the end. That came out of nowhere for me and the guys were also visibly confused what he was actually doing there, because that is all new abilities we never saw him learn. I mean moving yourself through time is one thing but just grabbing a time strand and pumping some green energy into it that magically does something to an entire universe is some top end of the addon skilltree stuff. I liked the general direction but that scene lost me a little by stretching my suspension of disbelief too far.

[@leahmarie112]

The visceral reaction I had to this episode was very unexpected. I mean I figured we would lose Loki and felt prepared for it. But the way they handled it…I mean Loki finally got to the point where he deserved another shot at life but that growth is exactly why he will never get it. He’s terrified of being alone and that’s exactly what he is now - completely alone and watching from the outside. He’ll never see Thor again and Thor will never know what his brother did for everyone. Mobius didn’t get to say goodbye and didn’t get to know everything Loki went through to make the decision he made. He misses his friend and feels empty. It’s all so devastatingly tragic. The more I thought about it the more I started crying.

[@yetibeardson1168]

The whole Loki turning the time streams into a Yggdrasil type tree seems to me to be a perfect metaphor for the new TVA. If you think about it, after a tree grows it is constantly changing throughout the seasons. Leaves, fruit and flowers grow and die and are constantly reborn. Such as the timestreams could be viewed. Branches of time are born, they grow and most inevitably die only to begin again. The thing that remains constant however is the trees roots. Which in fact over time begin to run deeper and strengthen. I think the fact they showed the tree with the top being purple and the roots green tells us we will in fact see Kang again, as purple is of course his colour. However the roots are green to of course represent Loki. Who will have to see to it the purple Kang branches and flowers of his tree are properly maintained and trimmed accordingly.

[@ukyba]

That was a theme of this entire series. A god controlling all things and bothering/manipulating those timelines. Loki and sylvie always discussed it and even at the end they talked about it. Loki will set the timelines free and keep them safe, but he wont meddle in them or try to influence them.

Now I'm wondering if the Time Stone was green all this time just for Loki. Imagine how weird it was for Strange to be checking millions of timelines to figure out how to defeat Thanos, and Loki shows him the one way to win.

Mindblown Oo Edit: wait, no. That was the sacred timeline, that would have been Kang. In Loki's multiverse, there would be an infinite amount of ways to win. That's the point of freing the timelines.

[@lykan2]

Loki is my favourite MCU character by far and he has now become the most important character in the entire MCU, literally holding hit in his hands, he is the very center of it all, within "Yggdrasil" (or the Timeline-equivalent of it) Looking over his friends and family. Thor, Frigga, Odin...and probably his "sacred" self would be proud. He found his "glorious purpose", as the "God of Stories"

Me too! It was a great catch! I love how Loki series has been almost self-contained. Very little pure fan-service cameos and credits scenes. The easter eggs, especially for S2 and very much so the finale episode, were all details tracking as far back to Thor 1. But they aren't there just for fans to catch. These are details that felt truly woven into MCU Loki's life and journey. Like how his simultaneous glorious & tragic ascent to true godhood, kinghood, and heroism revolved around the line "BURDENED with GLORIOUS PURPOSE"

Loki essentially has become one of the most powerful beings in Marvel but is burden remaining at the end of time keeping the timelines alive. Loki always wanted a throne but finally got it when he didn't want it. One of the most developed characters in all of Marvel. Loki won't age. Kang/He who remains was just a human scientist and lived for eons at the end of time. The writers wanted this version of Kang to act a lot like willy wonka. A very powerful person who got tired of doing what he is doing and looking for someone to take up his mantle. Loki essentially did what Kang wanted except he destroyed the loom allowing the multiverse to grow and prosper. Now there are branches connecting into other universes. The events of this show basically explain why the multiverse even exists for the MCU. I love this show because its not necessarily important to know the exact reasoning for why the multiverse exists. But its nice knowing that Loki is the one responsible and the one behind the curtain holding everything together and giving the universe a chance.

Loki has become the God of Stories. Like the scarlet witch, there’s only one in the entire multiverse, and they are not born, but made. Loki’s arc is what made him into this being that is on the same level as The One Above All; he can now rewrite reality as he sees fit, he can “rewrite the story”.

[@sombrashadow0013]

What a beautiful way of conveying Loki becoming the God of Stories.

[@sneakdza]

I shed a few tears for Loki

[@evenglare]

Loki is now burdened with glorious purpose to quite literally hold an infinite multiverse together. He is allowing every multiverse to live by grasping it to never let go effectively making the ultimate sacrifice. Loki is now the god of stories. Its an infinite realm. He's leveled up, can time slip anywhere, time no longer has hold on him. Also the TVA knows all about all the kangs, thats why they said they were watching the variants. They simply acknowledge that one of them got out of line and was dealt with. Thats the ant man one. BUt they know all about all the other stuff from the line that they were watching to variants. Sort of a ... hey you can do your war or whatever, but dont fuck around with the time lines or the TVA because you will "find out" Also he who remains know about the time slipping and he knew that he would have to kill sylvie, so they could keep the sacred timeline. But thats the thing. Thats the game they were playing. Loki looked at the board with the equations, and he said, fuck that imma change the equations. Change the game, so He who remains did not see that coming at all. He just knew that he'd live cause the only way to do it would be kill sylvie. He didnt account for extraneous factors, such as not playing the game that was set up for him. He changed to a totally different game that was unforseen by he who remains. I also believe renslayer seeing the seal of the TVA at the beginning was the same as when loki went there, I believe that that seal leads underground where they were all hiding. It was clearly not the TVA or a destroyed TVA or anything like that. Its the planet at the end of time, and the glowing effect we saw on her was allioth.

[@DorcasNanyangwe]

He who remains planned it all his final step was manipulating Loki into becoming the loom Remember he who remains doesn't have partners and he knew Loki would never kill Sylvie It goes back to season 1 episode 6 when he said he paved the road He set Loki to for in love with Sylvie so that in the end Loki would be forced to take over In the end he who remains beat his Kang variants by putting Loki in charge meaning no other Kang variant will become He who remains

[@AlexisTheDragon]

The vines are the timelines. Basically, Loki became the true god of the marvel multiverse. He really gained the ultimate throne all along. He wasn't just a god anymore, he became a master of all scientific physics, with the understanding of magic to now understand how to control it. So basically, he essentially became all powerful.

[@eddie2850]

Now imagine that Loki will have to protect the multiverse and he will be the one to put together the new multiversal Avengers. That would be a bomb!

[@memento81]

I don't think they will give him that much agency over the situation and it would just be too bonkers. Loki could recruit an infinite number of Thor variants to hunt down all the Kangs

[@fazedinonuggets4913]

I wonder how avenger secret wars is gonna turn out

[@TheNinjaBees]

I think “what happened” is that Loki essentially used his new abilities and powers to become the Loom they were trying to build. Destroyed the Loom, therefore destroying the Failsafe that would reset all the NEW branches (that were created once Silvie killed HWR) and just keep the Sacred Timeline. And the danger of this was that it would unleash a Multiversal War with Kang variants fighting for dominance and destroying everything like HWR’s backstory implies. We see this happening as all the branches start to “die” in the finale. But I think Loki is ‘weaving’ the various universes and timeline to at the very least exist without destroying themselves for now.

[@afrancis1582]

Loki began by claiming he was ‘burdened with glorious purpose’. Now he has accepted to accept his glorious purpose as the God of Time, but it is a great burden, not a prize. Thor once said “You will always be the God of Mischief, but you could be so much more”. He has achieved more than anyone could have guessed, but none of his friends and family in Asguard will ever know. Excellent finish to a great series.

[@JuniperHedge]

Loki has ascended from minor god of mischief, into a primordial deity of stories/time

[@shinobi221]

my interpretation is that loki's version of temporal loom is in form of tree as a tree can have infinite branches and this way people get to keep there free will And it hurted my soul seeing loki at the end of time "ALONE" that too when he had mentioned in the previous episode that his biggest fear is being alone .

I hope the changes they've made means we get more great stories like this ( this is the first MCU show that hasn't had reshoots).

Loki is OP in a good way just can’t wait till someone tells Thor what he did or the eventual meet up again with them. That transition of Loki in the TVA outfit or whatnot into the God Of Stories outfit was just chef’s kiss and at the end he got a throne but not in the way he ever intended. Loki giving people free will after being selfish is such a growth. He is giving them the chance to stop Kang and his variants this man HAS to come back we’re getting the multiverse because of him (and Sylvie kinda her fault). It still hurts his burden was not wanting to be alone but he has too in order to give everyone a chance to face Kang and his variants 😭🤌🏾💛💚

A somber, sad but satisfying ending. We need more series and movies like this coming out of the MCU to re-hook the people that have been lost over other MCU movies that have not performed as well as Marvel may have hoped. 15:32 Loki became the starting point, he is at the beginning of time whereas He Who Remains is at the end of time.

[@TheeWandaStan]

100% agree. Loki and Wandavision are the only 2 shows that felt like they had a fully planned out concept and were executed beautifully. both shows are also the most unique out of the bunch, Loki having a retro futuristic vibe and wandavision being based on every era of television. we need more of this from Marvel, not their usual formula which has grown tiresome.

[@chinmayudyavar]

@@TheeWandaStan Yeah, both were great to watch.

[@Sozscimitar]

@@chinmayudyavarThe multiverse has always existed, it’s not like the sacred timeline was the only universe. Like HWR said in S1E6, he isolated the ”sacred timeline”, he didn’t destroy all others.

[@chinmayudyavar]

@@Sozscimitar I was pretty sure he did. Isn't that what he used Alioth for? I was in the mindset that he did destroy everything except for the sacred timeline and then loki season 1 happened in which he died allowing a multiverse which is why spider-man NWH was able take place. But then loki season 2 tells us that the loop is stopping a complete multiverse from forming because it is still deleting the unwanted branches (and with good reason otherwise there will be a lot of spaghetti), but without the presence of HE WHO REMAINS because he is dead the loop will always fail. And now loki has taken the burden, however it is not to watch over just one sacred timeline but all of them, a multiversal watcher if you will. God of stories indeed. Sorry for the overload of text, it's just that this episode was so good and has made me really excited to talk and theorize about marvel again.

[@Scimarad]

Absolutely. I've liked far more of it than disliked it but I think where it falls down is that it feels unconnected and directionless as a whole.
