In the midst of all the Marvel content that was released on Disney Plus during Phase 4, the first season of Loki was one of the series that arguably got the most favorable reactions from critics and fans alike. That’s why it’s now the first MCU show to get a second season.
Loki Season 2 definitely raises some questions. Like is this the first ever case of a flirtatious clock. How does time work differently at the TVA? Do we get to see Owen Wilson on a jetski?
To answer all these questions, check out the pitch meeting that led to Loki Season 2!

[@thrillcollectors]

My biggest problem with this whole season with Sylvie. She just keeps saying that they should just burn the whole thing to the ground spray the TV and the whole time I’m just thinking “what does that look like“ like the destruction of everything? They basically say that in like the last episode as if it’s some reveal and I’m just like um yeah DUH?! Like really what did she think would happen. On top of that, she clearly has nothing to do this season. Her motivations are all over the place. It’s clear the writers just had no ideas for how to continue her story so they settled on “let’s just stop having her make any sense.”

[@poutineausyropderable7108]

Also Renslayer is like: I haven't been here for 2 days and look how it is... Like bitch, you never did anything special. At best, you are a mediocrilly competent manager.

[@pepita2437]

Yeah, agree. I felt too she was shoehorned in the second season. And the most maddening thing was, regarding Sylvie, is that even tho she made the wrong decision (which would have resulted in the termination of all life if not for Loki) she just refuse to acknowledge it. And left Loki cleaning up her mess.

[@RFDN0]

Sylvie did not make the wrong decision with the information at her disposal. She had finished her mission and was willing to clean up the mess (Kangs) she knew could appear. See her attempting to kill Victor Timely initially. She knew the TVA and its pruning were unnatural, so she had no reason to assume everything would fail if He Who Remains actually died. All she was doing was returning things to how they should be. She tried helping them save the loom when they thought it was the solution. Her surviving the potential destruction of it and everything being better led her to believe the problem was solved. Loki didn't sacrifice himself to clean up her mess. He sacrificed himself to clean up the mess He Who Remains made. There was no good option. He had a few possible solutions, and as Mobius said, you have to choose your burdens.

[@BananaWasTaken]

@@pepita2437what do you mean ‘the wrong decision’. The decision was either a multiversal war between all the ‘He Who Remains’s or taking away everyone’s free will forever. Neither are ideal, and it’s a subjective choice- you could very easily argue that either one is the wrong decision.

[@lirich0]

I think you don’t understand her philosophy. She is inherently an existentialist, and so consistently throughout the show, her number one priority has been freedom/free will. She initially wanted to destroy the tva to free the timelines because that’s what she thought would bring free will. But it’s not till later in the show that she realizes this would destroy everything except the sacred timeline anyways. You expect her to know about the failsafe? Regardless, once she realizes this, she joins Lokis side. In the end, she chooses free will again, letting Loki decide whether or not to kill her but implicitly compelling him to find another way. Her character perspective is more subtle than Loki’s as a result of her limited screen time, but it is masterfully written.

Sylvie absolutely killed me this season. She spent all of Season 1 fighting for everyone's freedoms and their right to choose how to live and when she's given the choice to fight once more or let literally EVERYONE die, she chooses not to because.. she really likes working at McDonald's? Not only does she refuse to clean up the consequences of HER actions, she also doesn't give a valid reason why. She didn't fall in love with someone, she didn't have a family, there wasn't some major thing keeping her busy. She was working a minimum wage job with nothing else going for her.

[@muhammadfaisal5Y5]

You are forgetting that even though Loki knew Sylvie made a mistake, the reason why Sylvie killed He Who Remains is because she was committed to her cause and did not believe anyone. She did not realise her mistake until the very last couple of episodes. Timeline branching was what she wanted, she got that. She got to live with regular citizen thinking they all have free will. When Loki approached her, he asked her to help him save the TVA. She does not want to. Loki calls TVA his home and wants to save it. TVA took Sylvie from her home and she grew up hating it. Sylvie was comfortable where she was while Loki wasn't. He had to do something so he gave several reasons. Loom breakdown, Kangs, multiversal war, TVA in danger, timelines in danger.

[@MukhtarAbdulGhanee]

not to talk of "trapping" renslayer at the end of time with a goddamn tempad. like it was just stupid for no reason .

[@RicardoMoralesMassin]

I don't know about you but I would sacrifice all of existence for the rich work environment and delicious food at Mc Donald's ® I'd be loving it

[@saucevc8353]

But Sylvie didn't believe literally everyone would die, she never took the possibility of multiversal war seriously. She doesn't think a TVA is necessary and has no reason to care if the TVA is destroyed. Once her timeline ended up being destroyed, she was totally willing to side with Loki because she realized she was wrong. Also, I think the way she treats the people from her new timeline, like her coworkers or bookstore guy makes it clear that she's friends with them.

[@SorchaSublime]

to be fair if you spend your entire life running from apocalypse to apocalypse and then manage to secure a quiet life, and then some guy you barely like tells you the world is ending you arent necessarily going to immediately jump to attention

[@user-lq8fi1rv2s]

What I find strange about this series is that the only source of information is He Who Remains. And no one questions anything. He clearly has an agenda and interests to keep everything in control. The branched timelines only are deleted to maintain the one that He Who Remains calls the "Sacred Timeline".

[@JSmith-oc5jh]

This was explained. It is to prevent another multiverse war. He is from the Sacred Timeline, that’s why it’s called that. He wants to keep the Kang variants at bay.

[@angermyode]

That's what Sylvie thought, but the fact that the timelines all died that when the loom was destroyed proves he was indeed telling the truth.

[@user-lq8fi1rv2s]

I don't think so. He who remains says that loom was made as a failsafe to delete timelines to keep only the "Sacred" one.

[@SorchaSublime]

they do question him, constantly. he just scripted their questions in advance without them realising

[@goblinounours]

Well, Loki questioned it. I mean, he refused the options given by HWR and went with his own answer to the problem. So... there's that.

[@TW-sh2un]

Well don’t forget he was already about 1000 years old by the time of the first avengers movie. When asked how long it would take to learn, OB considers it might be only decades instead centuries. So likely it only took about 2 or 3 centuries. At 1000, he seems to be considered a young god, perhaps around his 20s compared to us. So 200 years should have felt like 4 years relative to him. So he literally just went to get a college degree from his perspective lol

Should have pointed out how they set up a bootstrap paradox when Loki prunes himself by time slipping and how OB wrote the manual that was given to Victor that gave Victor the idea to build the loom which in turn Victor told OB how it works.

[@saucevc8353]

The Bootstrap paradox in the TVA makes more sense since the TVA doesn't follow the time branching rules so stuff like a bootstrap paradox is possible. Victor Timely isn't a bootstrap paradox either, because He Who Remains isn't Victor Timely, the end of the show makes it pretty clear that Timely probably won't become He Who Remains (the true author of the manual).

[@Rougarou99]

I’m more confused on how He Who Remains started out as Victor Timely when, even with TVA interference, he likely never completed the work necessary to build the TVA, and that he shouldn’t have even come close without Renslayer influencing him.

[@thesong7877]

Y'all are forgetting how the universe really works. The timelines of the MCU are basically looping pocket universes inside the real overarching universe. The real universe is what would be outside the timelines, outside those pockets, so in the show the TVA and surrounding emptiness. The overarching universe has a "grand timeline" that keeps moving forward, while the timelines take place as those pockets off the grand timeline. The sacred timeline was literally a looping pocket timeline. All the time travel rules discussed with Avengers are rules for withing a timeline, within one of those pocket universes. The question of everything with Kang and Loki with the TVA takes place on the grand timeline, separate from the pocket timelines. The universe existed, with only one timeline, until the first ever choice, then it started branching. There is no TVA. Branches start producing Kangs. Kangs start fighting. One Kang, Kang the conqueror, wins and defeats all other Kangs. That's why he's called that. Once he's the only one left, he converts his army into a TVA, erases their memories, and takes the name He Who Remains. He oversees the TVA making the sacred timeline, which is just the timeline he was from, loop repeatedly without branching for someodd kajillion years of the grand timeline of the overarching universe. He decides he's done, arranges to be taken over or killed, gets killed, branches form again, new Kangs form. Those new Kangs start fighting. One of those Kangs has greater success than others, and becomes known as Kang the Conqueror. Again. The KtC we see in Antman is at earliest the 2nd KtC, because HWR was one first. Without the actions of Loki in the show, that new KtQ would eventually beat all other Kangs, make his timeline the only timeline, probably call it "the holy timeline" create a new TVA, and take the name "He Who Remains" or some similar paraphrase. He rules from there for a kajillion years. Decides he's done. It all happens again. The Kang and TVA events of the MCU could and honestly would be cyclical. We don't even know if the instance we see in the show is the first time around. I expect the premise is that Loki has now ended the cycling of Kangs, but really, maybe some day Loki will decide he's done and Kangs will start cycling sacred timelines again.

[@funsized4036]

​@lacolem1 it also means that if you're someone who doesn't keep up, it's nearly impossible to catch up. There is just way too much content in the MCU to keep up with and frankly it's just not worth the time. It was at least kind of worth it when it was only a couple movies a year.

[@KyleMichelli]

I always figured he shouldn't go out there because he's the only person who can go back in time and try again if it fails. Doesn't explain why Sylvie couldn't go though. Because chivalry, I guess?

[@FulcanMal]

I mean, no reason to think Frost Giant physiology offers any protection against getting ripped apart by time radiation. Which is a sentence that I typed just now. By the same token I imagine teleporting through all that radiation would have deleterious effects. I mean its all made up nonsense, but that sounds like a sufficiently comic book-esque explanation.

[@voffo5512]

@@eaindray_aoi7577 uhh what about the several times loki saw himself?

[@stefanschneider5427]

@@eaindray_aoi7577 No it doesn't. Time paradoxes are not about a persons being around multiple times at the same time. It's about changing the past in a matter that influences the present in a way, that changing the past becomes impossible in the first place. If Loki goes back, stopping a thing in the future, why would he ever feel the need to go back in the past to change it, if the thing never threatens him in the future. Avengers established a good solution to this. The blip happens no matter what, fueling the need to do something about it, but still gets solved by time travel with a little delay.

[@WobblyBits_X]

@@stefanschneider5427 I think the key distinction with the time travel in Loki is that he ultimately never actually changed anything that happened in the TVA. He pruned his past self because it was always him that pruned himself, gathering his friends from their timelines didn't solve his time slipping "problem", and all his efforts to prevent the loom from overloading came to nothing because the loom could never be "fixed". The whole plot was about him coming to the realisation that he couldn't weasel his way out of this one, that it didn't matter who else he gathered or how fast they did it, he had to make the sacrifice himself. There was that scene about half way through where Sylvie is pushing him to express why he's really trying to save the TVA. "I want to save my friends because, without them, where do I belong?" He Who Remains tried to sculpt Loki into a tyrant to replace himself and perpetuate the "sacred timeline" and, though he was successful in drawing out the specific power, he failed by overlooking the change to Loki's character brought by his interactions with people. In the end, Loki finally realises where he belongs: saving his friends (and everybody else) for the rest of eternity.

[@rudrodeepchatterjee]

I have a feeling Ryan not including Ravonna's name even once in this video is a joke on how oddly placed and kinda insignificant she was in season 2. She was built up to be important in the season 1 finale, and then we got this. Ravonna and Sylvie's story may have been the weakest links of Loki s2's character oriented plot.

[@The_Serpent_of_Eden]

Also all that stuff with Brad/X-2 or whatever his name was. (How come Loki and Mobius were always switching his name?) Did he matter at all? He had zero bearing on the story, it felt like. Also what was the point of the woman in the wheelchair? Where did the Scottish lass come from? Should we have cared about any of those people? And I agree they wasted both Renslayer and Sylvie.

[@rudrodeepchatterjee]

@@The_Serpent_of_Eden X-5/Brad was there as an example of a TVA agent choosing their life over their job, with B-15 and Mobius choosing the opposite. Other than that, nothing that much.

[@johntowers1213]

I've a strong feeling they worked out those were the elements that were dragging the show down and chose for want of a better word to "Prune" them as much as was possible from this season...what with the single biggest and probably most legitimate gripe about the first season was the push to move Loki the character from main protagonist on a journey to supporting lead in other people stories...

[@rudrodeepchatterjee]

@@johntowers1213 true. Loki s1 was criticised for sidelining Loki in his own show once Sylvie was introduced. Even though they sidelined Sylvie here, the end result was still one of the best character arcs in marvel history.

[@poutineausyropderable7108]

​@rudrodeepchatterjee True. It's much better to sideline Sylvie than Loki in a show called Loki.

[@EN-MEYER]

[@k01dsv]

I love that Loki spent centuries trying to figure out how to make the Loom bigger, yet not at one single point did he or any of the other 2 geniuses in the room, think that making the Temporal Loom bigger, would in fact NOT account for an infinite amount of branches... Unless they made it infinitely bigger... Because fucking obviously...

The writers didn’t just not know what to do with Sylvie for season two, they clearly didn’t want her character there at all. Watching season one and season two back to back is such a weird experience because season one is so beautifully character driven & S2 is not. I felt like they even didn’t care that much about Mobius and Loki‘s relationship. I did love the ending though.

Sylvie could have just phoned in this season and she basically did. A lot of the build up from last season wasnt sufficiently paid off. I think its because Kang is not living up to the threat they set him up to be. There was a lot of filler in the middle of the season.

[@cooperwolfe5478]

I agree with you. Personally I still loved the show overall but I thought the first season was better.

well yea when kang gets shit on over and over and over again, it kinda is hard to take him seriously as a threat. lets himself die in loki s1, gets beaten by ants and some humans in antman3, and then we see him get turned to spaghetti an infinite amount of times in this season

I think the reason Loki did not volunteer for the walk was because even though he controlled his timeslipping, he was doubtful if, in direct contact with the time radiation, he would be able to timeslip back for a retry in case something messed up. He kept himself safe to get infinite retries.

Agreed. In fact, it was so much more well done that season one was forgivable when taken as a whole. Sylvie was shown to be the other side of the coin of who Loki COULD be.

[@sawdust8691]

True. I do wish the plot actually had some logical sense though. I liked what the overall show was going for, but they really didn't put much effort into the actual plot. Which unfortunately left me with a sour aftertaste even though I wanted to like it. For instance, the big finale. It was a very cool scene that felt like it should be meaningful. But I don't know why the crap it even needed to happen. The show never has an explanation. So the main problem is this loom thing powers the TVA somehow with timelines. So they start trying to fix it to save the TVA. Then all of a sudden it seems that if the loom and TVA is destroyed then all of reality is too. Never even addressed that. Just happened. Doesn't make much sense but OK. I was told that all the loom was doing was powering the TVA, which as far as I know doesn't have to exist for reality to as well. Then later we are told actually all the loom is is a failsafe to delete timelines. How the crap did the TVA not know this? Are they not monitoring the timelines? Then out of nowhere Loki just destroys the loom after knowing what it is. The TVA doesn't dissappear like before. Then apparently the timelines are... dying? Why? Was that loom keeping them alive as well as deleting them? What the actual crap is going on? Then Loki takes his place. Also, I thought the TVA workers were the ones keeping timelines under control under the command of he who remains, as explained in season one. Why does He Who Renains' death cause timelines to spread? Did his mere existence delete timelines? And with a backup loom? So is the TVA nothing but another backup? WHAT THE CRAP IS GOING ON!!?? OK, how am I supposed to care about this if it makes no sense? I want to care about it, but come on. And the show is absolutely riddled with smaller inconsistencies and holes and obvious questions. But they aren't as important as the main plot not making sense.

[@peacemaster8117]

@@sawdust8691 "Then later we are told actually all the loom is is a failsafe to delete timelines. How the crap did the TVA not know this? Are they not monitoring the timelines?" In season one there's a moment where new timelines start branching uncontrollably and every in the TVA starts shitting themselves, but if the loom is auto-deleting branches then how was that even possible? It just makes no sense if you think about any particular detail.

[@PassionSod]

Honestly this seemed like a perfect story for Doctor Who, the loom is basically an explosive vest that take everyone else out with Kang, who assumes they will have to use time shenanigans to undo that, cause he assume everyone is as self interested as him. But all it took was Loki stepping in to replace the loom to ruin his plan, leaving him dead. Which is consistent with what they were setting up with Ant-Man. Kang is wildly arrogant & assume he can't be bested, which lead to him making openings for people to stop him, even if it cost them their lives. Also Timely's voice was a bit weird & first, but consistent enough that I was able to write it off as a speak impediment.
