The TVA using the infinity stones as paperweights doesn’t lessen their worth in the main timeline. Their power is simply nullified in the TVA. For example, in the water, a shark is an apex predator, yet on land it’s virtually harmless.

[@jchacho6335]

They don’t kill every variant. They either “prune” (destroy the entire branch) or “reset” (push the branch back towards the main time line). The “sacred” timeline is not really a single timeline. There is noise from free will. Most of the noise bends back towards the main flow. It only becomes an issue if it doesn’t bend back and crosses the red line.

[@BigMikeMcBastard]

Pruning sounds like hunter slang. Resetting sounds like a euphemism for "erase from existence". Loki makes that remark to Mobius, about Mobius killing him, and Mobius indicates that was the place Loki just came from after he'd be sentenced to be reset. I think the TVA is essentially exterminating entire alternate realities when it "resets" them. Not to mention, even stuff like Pillboy's cart are capable of being reset by those glowing sticks. If all being reset did was push you back to the sacred timeline, why'd it affect the cart? And why was Pillboy afraid of it happening to him?

[@brianburkhardt3692]

@@BigMikeMcBastard I think pruning and resetting both involve ostensibly killing the people in the timeline, but the difference is that one will entirely erase a being while the other will just move them back to where they were before their split- essentially killing them but leaving them alive in some form. I imagine the difference would be based on whether the person exists outside of the split timeline or not. So like, the people who found Loki at the start of episode 1 in the desert. The version of them that found Loki will be reset from existence, but the versions from a few minutes prior who were just in the desert when Loki was about to crash will still be there. Whereas if you have somebody who was only born/created because of the split, and therefore doesn’t exist outside of it, they are removed entirely.

[@brianburkhardt3692]

Yeah, it seemed like in the animation of the “Sacred” timeline, it was actually a few lines interwoven, showing space between at times.

[@ThatFreeWilliam]

@@brianburkhardt3692 I think the whole "It's totally okay to murder this person due to this technicality and it's totally okay" is TVA propoganda and all the variants are absolutely people and all the timelines are equal. The TVA is basically the Time Nazis winning. The "Sacred" timeline is just the one that continues their existence IMO. Interesting that it's the one with time heist action that also makes the very unlikely "Thanos loses" scenario happening as well, they could tie the two together if they wanted to (Whoever's behind the TVA "beat" thanos by finding the timeline he loses in and pruning all the others from there)

[@brianburkhardt3692]

@@ThatFreeWilliam oh definitely, I think it’s very telling that in episode 1 they leave behind the reset device and leave the timeline and don’t go back. Möbius talking to that kid? Saying how they’d make it right? He was saying that to a “variant” that he and his team were about to reset. In essence killing that kid. They’re not the good guys they make themselves out to be.

[@mallk238]

if you notice when the hunter first brings loki and the tesseract into the tva, just when the portal closes behind them, the tesseract gets dimmer as its connection to its timeline and universe is severed.

[@TheParkingLotMechanic]

Literally just about to point this out that no one is talking about that. Well done, my friend!

[@CBreezie]

Of course the stones are still powerful. They never meant for people to think they're literally "paper weights". It's just that the TVA's power and authority LITERALLY is on a higher hierarchy than reality itself or the stones that harness its powers.

[@fjamesraasch]

One of the soul stones is LITERALLY a paperweight in the end credits ;)

[@deannahenry8925]

@Ryan Meadors that makes sense

[@nicklemen]

@Ryan Meadors I think if Loki took them out of the TVA they would regain power. The TVA exists outside of normal time and space in the comics. They are possibly setting it up to have the TVA exist in the Quantum Realm. So the big physics of of the infinity stones and Loki’s magic don’t work in Quantum Realm maybe?

Well technically by the definition they should be useless since the infinity stones make up the flow of time in their own universe. Since the TVA is scrapping those timelines and resetting them the infinity stones with in those timelines should also be reset since they are the things that are causing the splits. Therefore the drawer full of infinity stones are basically just useless at least from what I understand so far regarding the first episode

[@MACKAVON]

^this, idk why some people in the comments are so confused by that scene

[@mikejohnstonbob935]

The Sacred Timeline Timestone taken in Endgame was from the same universe as Loki's Space stone, so if that Timestone worked, then Loki's space stone should still be useful.

I mean, we're now saying there is the potential for infinite parallel universes (except that the TVA keeps "clipping them off" right away), so it makes sense that there are millions of variants doing every kind of thing, and the TVA exists outside and above all this. So I think it makes sense that they could gather Infinity Stones over and over, rare weapons, baseball cards, even people, and also it makes sense that they don't care that much about them. It's just part of their job.

Couldn’t the fact there are multiple infinity stones be a clue that the multiverse is real. We were told the stones were created when the universe was created, if there’s more than one universe couldn’t each one have a set of infinity stones?

[@Web-Gamer2432]

That is the case in the comics. Each universe has its own version of infinity gems / infinity stones. For example: the main marvel earth 616 universe has 6 infinity gems (which are stones now), while the ultimate earth 1610 universe has 8 infinity gems (though the extra two were never really named or shown of what their power was)

[@Web-Gamer2432]

Also with every reality having their own infinity stones, those stones can only work within the universe they come from.

They only work in their own universe, and are powerless in others

That "palming of the time stone" idea may come into play with those shots from the trailer of Pompei. (Also going back that far would POSSIBLY be a way to introduce one or more of the Eternals before their movie release? But that's probably unlikely.) Also, it wouldn't be THAT out of character for "Variant Loki" to want to use the time stone to go see Frigga or Odin knowing what he knows now about the future events from Thor 2 and 3, with a Rene Russo cameo more likely than an Anthony Hopkins one.

It wasn't instant though. It was around 3.5 seconds after entering the TVA and 1 second after the doorway closed. Was that the amount of "time" it took for the reset device to do it's work to destroy that timeline? Or was it still connected to its branch while the doorway was open and it took a second after the doorway closed for its power to dissipate? Then if it was taken back to the "real world" would it regain its power or would it have been permanently lost because that branch was clipped?

It's why in the Movies they are 'Infinity Stones', but in the Comics they are 'Infinity Gems', and in a different universe seen in the comics, they are 'Infinite Planets'. And the Stones ONLY lose power, if they are Remove from their OWN Universe. Aka, If you take the Main Comic Universe, Earth 616, and take their Stones and bring them into a different Universe, such as Earth-295, A universe where Apocalypse Wins and Rules the Earth, then the Earth 616 Infinite Stones stop working. BUT, Timetravel stays in the SAME Universe. Time Travel, is NOT the same as Dimensional Travel. These Stones, are all Stones from the MCU Universe. Different 'Times' in that Universe, but still that same UNIVERSE. Those stones, still being in the same universe, even if at different times, would 100% work, and 100% be at full power. Even if Outside of Time, Space, or in a pocket Dimension. Only going to a different Universe will stop the stones from working.

@@Jirodyne I disagree. Sorry

[@linc2155]

I think the Infinity Stones in the drawer are just a metaphor saying “oh you thought Infinity Stones were important? You haven’t seen anything yet” which is why Casey says “some of the guys use them as paper weights” that line tells us just how much bigger this next phase is going to be.

[@rhodrage]

I like to imagine some of those stones were ones variants of Cap failed to return

[@TaylorFalk21]

The messed up thing is by the TVA allowing the avengers to do the time heist they caused the Tesseract to be dropped at Loki’s feet causing a branch timeline. They shouldn’t arrest him for what was their plan all along

[@corbannguyen9640]

I'm calling it like MT did, MOBIUS IS THE VILLIAN

[@rumbbbytomb9782]

No I think mobias and Loki maybe the anti-hero will team up and take the tva down.

[@huzaifahzulkifli8398]

Ancient one said in endgame “strange meant to be the best of us”. Maybe the time stone duplicate that we saw in loki was retrieved from doctor strange’s variant.

[@saadsrequiemforsasuke7041]

Things are shaping up quite nicely. I just love that Loki knows what his future is, and I have a feeling Loki now wants to rule the TVA ...

[@SaItyToad00]

Didn't like that scene. The most powerful items in the universe and the center plot point of 20 movies are now devalued to mere souvenirs someone keeps on his desk. But whatever.

[@MACKAVON]

Do you even understand why they are useless though? They don’t work in the TVA

The infinity stones they used went on to exist in those alternate timelines, just with the little hiccup in them being taken for a moment. Simply existing and going back in time creates an alternate timeline that continues to exist. It just plays out the same as the "sacred timeline". It wasn't branched timelines he was clipping, it was the doomed/variant timelines he was clipping. It wasn't making them not exist though, it was just making sure they continue on like they're supposed to. So they had the potential to become doomed/variants until cap returned the stones and mjolnir. If he didn't then the events would be unable to play out like the sacred timeline and that would lead to the bad guys winning pretty much.

[@maxgalbraith1813]

The tesseract visibly and audibly powers down when Loki enters the TVA, not when the portal closes - They could all still work when taken back into normal space/time.

[@moonlightshadowpony]

I think the stones might just be useless in the TVA, the same way that Loki didn't permanently lose the ability to use his powers when he entered the TVA I think if you bring an infinity stone back to the main timeline then you'll end up with a fully functional stone. But something I'd like to point out is the fact that the cart that got destroyed was just the stuff that was recently sorted as evidence, as I highly doubt they'd just have all their evidence in one single cart, probably some sort of evidence room more likely. I like to think that cart was just the evidence from that morning, and as he brought everyone their requested paperwork/mail he was also bringing in the evidence to the evidence room.

[@thatneli]

It was a dope episode

[@franciscooctavius5957]

So then time is in fact just a construct!!! And so is space, your mind, this reality, your soul and any power.

[@deepfryerhouse6885]

Anyone else really love the synth score?

[@rocknorris9508]

Simplest explanation: the TVA exists at all points in the sacred timeline simultaneously. “Traveling” to a different time is as trivial as opening a closet door.

[@stutam]

That’s how I understood it. Which is why I was weirded out when I heard people were pissed.

[@nothingbutintroverted4372]

i think the majority of people understand this it’s a basic concept but of course it’s the marvel fandom always gonna have some people throwing a tantrum over nothing

[@stutam]

@nothing but introverted majority of the comments I saw were about rendering the infinity saga and therefore the deaths of ironman, black widow, etc. useless😅

[@coolguy082]

Notice how Casey says SOME of the guys use them as paperweights, implying that they’re not even really a collector’s item in the TVA

[@dlcrn16]

I think he pocketed several stones and that is why he is so calm all the time. He used a time stone on the falling tower and Reality stone to cause the branch that warned the TVA where he and sylvie were. Because as loki said a apocalypse highs nexus vents, so why did the TVA see that one? He also used it to kill the monster in ep 5, but pretended to "need help". He did this to build group trust. Manipulation.
