After watching the latest episode of Loki, it seems to me that they've simply merged the idea of the two characters together.

Sylvie was created by her timeline’s Loki, Timekeepers don’t want that, so they destroy the timeline and Sylvie escapes. Making it it her mission to destroy the Timekeepers for it. I don’t think she is another version of Loki, I think she is a product of Loki.

[@guillermopilajes826]

[@Yaapin_Nyauwi]

[@yoboyrob201]

Nah, she is a loki. She literally just says she changed her name. She is just a girl version of loki

[@heatran1919]

This Sylvie is definitely gonna be completely different from her comic counterpart though. I'm getting the sense that she's just a version of Loki that was born a woman, and the TVA decided that couldn't happen do she was on the run from them from day one. Could mean we might get some flashbacks with a version of Odin keeping her out of the TVA's hands when she was a kid.

@@RoomerJ a loki from another timeline, from the multiverse. Where this loki was born a woman.

[@VicWeave]

My money is that she’s not actually a Loki at all. If her being born as a woman was the variation, not much she could have done to not be destroyed along with her timeline.

[@VicAtNyte]

Nope. You need to think the MCU long game here. Its not "Lady Loki" or "variant Loki" its his daughter! Obviously we don't know who the mother is however since she is from a different timeline, a different universe that is part of the "what if" multiverse- it could be said that her mother could be Jane Foster or Hela or even the Enchantress herself- or even and its a stretch- Morgana La Fay but she is a variant from a variant from a variant universe. This way if they brought her back in the books it will be easier to explain. Then saying " Loki created her." Also as part of the long game- a part in the new Young Avengers... Now do ya'll get it?

[@DDuffy143]

I have the craziest theory that in Loki, the show, Sylvie is actually Frigga from a younger past timeline. The writing for this makes sense. Loki cried after finding out he inadvertently killed his mother. The mcu loves to bring things full circle. Watch.

[@elgato49]

Bruh, i thought of the exact same thing. Bro five! ✋

[@DDuffy143]

This is the beginning of the multiverse of madness. Anything is possible. Pay attention to the way Loki and Sylvie interact. The wording chosen for their dialogue is a big one. Frigga was a witch basically or “enchantress” if you will.. she taught Loki everything he knows. Plus, Sylvie in the show looks like a perfect young Rene Russo cast. I know it sounds crazy, but watch... Frigga will play a big role in this show sooner or later.

Like falcon and the winter soldier gave us how falcon became captain America. Won't be a season 2, but the next movie with captain America will feature falcon as captain America. Plus having the series be exclusive to Disney+ is a great way to sell subscriptions. Watch, they're one and dones.

[@flipboom]

Probably gonna be more in the sense that Sylvie will be her alias which is why they talked about the name change in the 3rd episode but she will be amora. Her character will be used the same as scurge in rangnork where it’s kinda of a suppporting throw away character cause they need more asgardians for the Jane foster story, since the Thor movies used the majority of them and killed the rest off, but saying no one care about enchantress is practically the same for Balder, which a good amount of people are fans of, plus, even though no one like Balder he is the king of the underworld in the foster story so it al plays into the arch. Marvel just kinda put themselves in a predicament with throwing random pieces of arch’s into the McU that when they have a chance to fulfill a bigger story (wwh and planet hulk/mixed with Thor ragnorok) they have to be more creative to make it work. I think she’ll continue on in Jane fosters story.
