Loki is starting to feed us some answers, while raising even more questions. Namely, if there is one sacred timeline, then how are there so many variants of Loki? And how is Sylvie, a female version of Loki, able to exist without a multiverse? We have theories that connect to the larger Marvel Cinematic Universe, including Avengers: Endgame, Thor and even speculate on Sylvie’s secret origin.

[@Yodah97]

@@sureshmakwana8709 Yeah but that's the issue with all variations of the multiverse theory, both in fiction and the real world. Where would the energy for infinite timelines come from? It's much more likely that there is just one timeline. People just like the multiple timeline theory because it would mean our choices actually "matter" on a cosmic scale. It's like the modern version of saying that Earth is the center of the solar system.

[@fourlightsorchestra]

@@Yodah97 interesting. Other people have a completely different interpretation when learning about the multiverse theory. They feel like one earth and one version of themselves is unique, but multiple versions diminish their importance and they no longer feel like choices have meaning. They end up feeling like the opposite of being at the center of attention. As far as where would the energy come from? I’d imagine it’s already there. I’m not a astrophysicist, but from what I understand, all of it comes from whatever the Big Bang event was, and that energy is slowly dissipating. In my mind, I see a rock thrown into a body of water, and the ripples come out from the impact. You might wonder, where the energy comes from to create ripples in water, or ripples that bounce off of the shore, and then bounce off of other ripples and create new ripple patterns. The answer is they came from the rock being thrown into the water, and that energy is interacting with the nature of the lake. At least that’s how I make sense of it in my head.

[@ColeBeeRyan]

Apparently killing a variant means nothing. The reality from which they came no longer exists.

[@cadenrolland5250]

They are all reset. It seems the TVA rests them too once they are no longer useful. Sylvie said that she had to look through 100's of years of memories in that one guard. That could only be because the TVA keeps resetting the "employees" to when they first started working for them. So they are all trapped to perpetually slave away countless lives for their overlords the time keepers. It would be like you had to work at Walmart for dozens of lifetimes! And each time you leave they reset you to the day you first started there. EVIL! If Mobius screws up he'll be reset too, only to not remember putting rings on that table in R Slayers office yet again! Judging by the rings in that table he has been reset about 6 times so far. So say Mobius started when he was 20, and retired at 60. If this always happens, then Mobius has been there about 240 years so far! The only way out is death, or a Nexis event remaking the multiverse.

[@BecomingLizzyBlue]

There have been different explanations from the powers that be. I don’t think they had a set explanation. Some say he existed simultaneously within the past; others say an alternate timeline was created. However, if you combine all the theories, there is one that sort of works. The Ancient One says removing an infinity stone creates a branch, not time travel itself. The Miss Minutes video in Loki indicates other deviations, such as being late to work, that have nothing to do with time travel can create variants. Variants are things that significantly disrupt the timeline. Small changes can probably be absorbed or ignored. Now add Banner’s statement that we can’t change the past; the change becomes part of our future. Think of it like copying and pasting a paragraph to the end of a document. You can edit the new one without changing the old. Steve then returns to the point he left, thereby moving that point ahead of the past and time continues normally from there. His time in the past is sandwiched between the point he left and the point he returns. As long as he doesn’t make any significant changes, neither the past nor the future is greatly affected.

There is no way that there is really just one single timeline. The TVA is making that up. If all those wildly different Lokis exist, they must come from different timelines, right?

That’s what I thought, also in Infinity War they made like a bunch of different timelines (like when 2012 Thanos time jumps and dies) and yet no TVA interference, but when Loki does it he’s basically taken out of the times stream. MCU seems very much like patchwork.

[@quingo7526]

Was thinking the same, there are multiple "sacred" timelines and the red line is what has been set up to stop varients connecting to other timelines and causing another timeline war. Varients such as silvie are when the red line does get crossed and the TVA we see is a puppet used by the "real" TVA to trim any branches of the time line. The "real" TVA watches the multi verse and ensures there is no crossings. Otherwise why is Wanda being a nexus being important if there is only 1 timeline. Alternatively this TVA is controlled by a bigger enemy that may only get teased and then shown in one of the movies, Kang for example is going to be inthe new Ant man. It is possible this TVA is being used to set the main mcu timeline to be Kangs own. Though he knows influencing main mcu events would bring unwanted attention to his plans so he is trimming "varients" that appear, or at least who he says is a varient, acting as a butterfly effect to push events into his own timeline.

I personally don't think she's suppose to even exist at all and thats why she was brought in as a little girl (then escaped) hence why she has said "I've been on the run my whole life" .

I think Sylvie isn't a version of Loki, maybe she was given her powers by an older variant Loki (maybe a stronger version if the photocopy effect is any indication). Also, what if Loki is enchanting her just as she did to the TVA Agent?!

[@lacasadehonor9408]

i think sylvie is laufey's daughter, and odin took her therefore creating an alternate timeline and the TVA noticed it, thats why she doesnt remember her mother

[@VicRaptor2589]

If she worked for the TVA....Why does she need to ask other for its location? I also dont think Loki is a variant, if avengers time travel event was supposed to happen, then they knew Hulk would throw a tantrum and unlock the case since.... everything is already written. I honestly think Quan is using Loki as a distraction to create the multiverse so he can u know cause chaos and do villanus things lol.

[@SuperEvolution1982]

I signed in and liked your video just because of the Pete and Pete reference. I loved that tv show.

[@mikelboyd711]

All these channels over complicate these shows. They also seem to miss the part where the time keepers fused all the time lines into one fluid line. So all the time-lines still exist just in one fluid line. It's like a bundle of wires. Once they were tangled and all over the place now they are a nice tidy cable all wrapped nice and neat yet still heading in the same direction.

[@jasonshaw2065]

Inspector 34! Love Pete & Pete, thanks for another great video! I think both Lokis will see the multiverse as the only way true choice/freedom is possible, as opposed to the determinism of the sacred timeline. But freedom comes with chaos. Should be a fun ride.

[@jyothiprakash496]

The way you deviate from the context of video to a ad is just a gem... 😂😂😂

[@lazycat6015]

Ok but this doesn’t explain how she doesn’t know that her magic doesn’t work in the TVA

[@damientom]

My theory: Renslayer is the founder of the TVA, and her true motive is to restore Kang's timeline. Kang is on the mystery time keepers' floor in a stasis chamber that preventing his erasure from the current timeline. PS side theory: Mobius is the 'other' analysis that brings Renslayer junk, he doesn't remember because he has been mind wiped and brain washed ✈️⛷️

The only problem with your theory is why does she have to kidnapped a hunter to find out out were the Time Keepers are hanging out at the TVA. If she grew up and worked there she should know.

Sylvie isn't a Loki, just pretending to be. So far only the TVA has accused her of being a Loki. Keep in mind she's done nothing that even resembles how Loki behaves.

The thing that confuses me is the red line. If the red line is the “point of no return”, then how did classic Loki last so long in his timeline? And Alligator Loki’s nexus event being eating his neighbour, not the fact that he’s an alligator.

[@rorymax]

Right? How was the timeline alive enough where the female Loki was able to have a childhood?

[@Planag7]

I love that Pete and Pete reference at the end!

[@KG_85]

I don't think female Loki would have worked for the TVA in the past because she tried to use her magic in the TVA and would have known it wouldn't work if she had been a former member.

[@sinjun1973]

I do think that Loki and Sylvie's conversation on the train was a bit disjointed with them each thinking of slightly different things but I don't think she learned about the TVA agents being variants by working for them. I think she learned it when she delves into their minds in search of the information she is looking for. By doing this she's picked up on alot of their speech patterns too. Being on the run from them for so long she would have had to learn as much about her enemy as possible if she wished to defeat them.

[@sriley72783]

I’m so glad I’m not the only person that remembers that episode of Pete and Pete.

[@callmev3531]

6:32, Though later information clarifies Sylvie’s nexus event that made strand reality woven into the rope of the Sacred Timeline unravel into a branch was seemingly her growing desire to become a hero like the Valkyrie’s she idolized, Loki’s shapeshifting was due to him learning magic (though only in Ragnarok and the show had his shapeshifting being confirmed as him genuinely transforming his body rather than projecting images and illusory forms over himself) and his Asgardian-passing form was induced by Odin, meaning he could only have gained the ability to affect his sex after he’d gained magical power. Sylvie’s sex being her nexus event would also mean the TVA would have tracked her far before she could grow up to become a preteen, which is ultimately why she later demand Ravonna to confirm what exactly it was that attracted the TVA to her.

[@bireshroy876]

Good one

[@MGuest-zi5it]

Remember the part where Mobius doesn’t remember making the previous rings on the table. Either there are multiple Mobius variants or he has been or had his mind reset.

[@vocalanjel]

The Multiverse exists within the "Scared Timeline". The other Loki's are not variants of the 616 Loki but variants of Lokis' in other universes/story lines.

[@samsonorji53]

Seems like there are several loki's,the five that mobius showed him and the lady loki and the post credit scene of episode 4
