I found the handshake with OB interesting because Victor has been so against partnerships. I wonder if it implies that OB might have been the only one Kang was willing to really work with (hence him being the only one with his memories still in tact.) this episode was amazing.

[@m2pmd70]

It reminded me of the claymation-style shot of HWR shaking hands with another Kang. Maybe OB is a Kang variant. It sure seems like he has... "remained." 🤔

[@mightbeapersonmaybe8379]

I initially thought this was another moment of timely trying to gain the upper hand on the people around him but it actually could be for now he wouldn't mind partnering with OB just two dudes with a love of science

[@stefdelev]

​@@mightbeapersonmaybe8379Right exactly, cuz OB is the one person who Victor has always respected

Or is it because OB doesn't have the will to lead, and that's why Victor/Kang likes to work with him. Hmmm...

[@O00InKs000]

It's quite saddening to think that in the final moments of this episode (before the blast reaches Loki and the rest of them) Loki has only known loss, and how it feels to lose at almost every turn of his life. Even when he tries to play the Hero, he seemingly ends up losing. He just keeps on losing, even when he tried so hard to do good. This is, in my head at least, what I see Loki realizing as the explosion nears them.

It’s so refreshing to see how Marvel studios can do a significant build up and then reconnect everything at the end. To me (and probably everyone else) they should be taking their time with producing such thoughtful series and movies cause the way they handled each episode to connect back and then explain everything that we didn’t know before is so well done. They took their time to produce this series and weren’t rushed by Disney+’s expectations which leads to more time actually making marvel content like in the past. (Aka stuff connecting back and genuine drama/shock level)

[@JamesLawner]

I'd like to pedantically point out that the Grandfather Paradox and the Bootstrap Paradox are not the same thing. In fact, they're basically inversions of each other. The Bootstrap Paradox is when you have a causal loop, making it so that something ultimately causes itself; in other words, where A causes B which causes A again. So for instance, the TVA guidebook caused Victor to invent stuff, but Victor's inventions caused OB to write the guidebook; so that's a Bootstrap Paradox. The Grandfather Paradox, on the other hand, is when an event *prevents* itself from occurring. So you kill your grandfather, which causes you not to be born, but then that prevents you from killing your grandfather. For the OB/Victor connection to be a Grandfather Paradox, Victor getting the guidebook would somehow have to prevent Rennslayer from giving him the guidebook, which isn't what happened. Sorry to be pedantic; I'm a nerd. Carry on.

Victor Timely ultimately ended up being one of the most tragic characters in the MCU so far. As a young boy, groomed or pushed along towards reaching his potential as a scientist and engineer. All of the fascinating things he got to experience because of who he is on the Multiversal scale, albeit a humble variant…that died…trying to help, and make sure it worked himself… Tragic.

[@Lilnate_17]

I can’t believe he died i his character was so cool

[@josephwalker2583]

Victor Timely being spaghettied was a moment that sent his aura through all of the branches. In which case, all kangs were born across all timelines after that moment. He who remains knew this and needed all variants so he could be created. In a sense, Victor Timely is He Who Remains but, he's also all of the other Kangs as well....

[@jimba6486]

I'm convinced Victor was changed after he put his head in the scanner. After that act, he no longer stuttered and even his body language was different. He knew what would happen when he stepped out there and wanted it to happen for some unknown as yet reason.

[@jjunboxing000]

He's a professional conman, I think he may have been faking his stutter the whole time, and when he realises whats at stake he sort of snaps out and realises it has to be him so theres no point in lying anymore, idk its an interesting though.

[@Ravenx_44]

Its how He gets Loki and Silvi to Lead the TVA

[@scoutg001]

loki's speech to sylvie this episode felt more like "we are gods, because we have to be" rather than "we are gods, because we are better" awesome development

[@spiritbombing]

which works so well because this is og avengers loki who was so obsessed with being looked at as above everyone else because he’s a god😭 writing so on point in this series

[@IceMetalPunk]

As soon as Sylvie said "we're playing God", I immediately went, "But you *are* gods..." And then Loki said it and I literally fist-pumped the air and appreciated that it was, in fact, the only correct response.

[@Leoncroi]

Past Loki has used "We are gods" as an arrogant way to justify his actions, freeing himself of burden. Loki S2E4 used "We are gods" to reinforce the role he has, reminding himself of the burden it brings. This will truly bring about his Glorious Purpose

[@Rhenzik1031]

Police/military often hold the top of their bullet proof vests like how Brad did with his collar, as a place to rest their arms. It's a method of relieving some of the heaviness they feel due to the combined weight of all the gear they wear around their waist and chest. It would make sense for Brad to, instinctively, hold his collar like this since he's a former Guard.

He also is seen in episode 1 doing just that before they ended up slapping a collar on him.

[@ZyliceLiddell]

I was wondering why he stood like that in the first episode.

[@aitorcheca6062]

I don't think Timely died or vanished from time, there's two possibilities. 1.- he was teleported to a future branch where Kang is and he learns from Kang like the comics Kang learned from silver centurion, and then he uses that technology to go back to the past to create/fix the TVA. 2.- By "Spaghettizing" he is duplicated into EVERY branch (past, present and future) so he could go forward with the TVA manual [he still carried] and progress with technology and becoming EVERY Kang variant we saw in the end of Quantumania (including silver centurion, Rama Tut and Immortus) so then starts the story He Who Remains told us about that he discovered other universes. This is only for Timely, maybe Mobius, Loki and the rest will survive the destruction of the TVA like the trailers or something.

[@user-nz9fl9lo2n]

those are also valid scenarios… my thoughts are that victor timley got summoned to the council of kangs.

[@casper2694]

​@@user-nz9fl9lo2nbut that doesn't make sense since in the Colosseum scene we see all the Kangs teleport through a time door alright and intact, it's pretty clear Victor went through something else, and besides, at the current state that he's in, he would be of no help to the Council, he'll need his suit, timepad and some war experience first if he has any hope of contributing, he's got nothing to contribute to the Council for now. Which leads me to believe that he, alongside Quantumania Kang might become He Who Remains since both of them were not summoned at the Colosseum, so if they're alive they're free to do whatever the hell they want, heck they might even be the same people, time travel and multiversal shit is just so confusing

Not being able to do anything other than go along with it and it all ended with him being spaghettified is terrifying, sounds painful too so that variant can have a little space in my heart because he may have returned the favor to Loki when Loki saved him from Renslayer, saving anyone of them to get spaghettified so that variant is a hero in my book

[@ericahughes6483]

This entire season is about causality loops right? In episode one, Loki discovers Oroborus' name is OB. He time slips back to before he had the nickname and gives him the nickname. I think the moment Victor finds out OB's name is the key to OB's origin. I think Victor timeslips back to the beginning, sees Ke Huay Kwan's character and calls him Oroborus, both because he had learned his name in this episode, but also because it is completing the time loop. Remember, OB has met Victor before and has a very similar reaction to remembering Victor's name as when he remembers creating the device to bring Loki back from timeslipping. But it also answers the biggest question about why OB's memory is not erased. He Who Remains needs OB to remember all of these events in order for the time loop to work. Much like Loki remembering the moment he was pruned and then choosing to complete the loop, for He Who Remains' plan to work he needs OB to remember Victor and go through the motions that lead to Victor's death, which I think is possibly just time slipping back to the beginning.

[@scorpiusbalthazar4327]

We don't know if OB met Victor before, he only said he learned from him. That doesn't mean he met him. Also, OB's memory has been erased before. He said he couldn't remember the very beginning, so it's just that his memory hasn't been erased in a long time whereas it seems like that happens regularly to most TVA employees.

[@Improv_jav]

@@scorpiusbalthazar4327Not necessarily. It’s almost a contradiction to him “learning everything he knows” from victor timely. This line also proves they never met each other. However, I do believe OP is right, we will have a moment where it’s established Victor names him this, because it’s almost like he’s a tool. I think it might be the opposite, OB will signify something to whatever variant that comes next.

[@kingseanthefirst]

I think the moment victor "died" is when all kangs were created. I believe his essence was spread throughout the entire multiverse when he spaghettied. Matter cannot be created or destroyed meaning he spaghettied across time and space and every timeline outside of the tva. It would explain a lot and also why the one above all never stops him.

[@wideawakewayne]

The way the time stream thing exploded at the end and was heading towards Loki and the rest of them on the tva just before the explosion hit it felt like everything and anything that ever existed was about to be wiped out and erased especially and the way Loki turned he’s head to the side right at the end was class can’t wait for the next episode

[@TySpurk]

I think that either Loki is going to somehow time slip right before everyone gets destroyed or that being exposed to the timeline will reset you and send you back to your original place in the timeline but no matter what I'm excited to see what happens next

[@wrathybear]

With all the instances of self-fulfilling prophecies shown, we'll probably see a scene with Mobious running around the TVA, then accidentally tine slipping to the past, so he runs into OB's office, then, to avoid any more confusion, he promptly leaves, which would explain OB's story of Mobious walking into his office and leaving quickly 400 years ago.

This ending gave me chills as you see everyone realizing just how they are fucked. And then the amazing explosion!!

[@SergioGaming2001]

I personally think that when the loom explodes, Loki and Sylvie got teleported into a branch of timeline. That's why we see loki teleporting to piranha powersports, and Sylvie in a storage unit or some sort. Loki and Sylvie I think would try to travel back, to try and save the TVA. I think episode 5 would be all about how Loki and Sylvie would meet up. And in episode 6 Loki and Sylvie will travel back to the void, where Renslayer is, and they fight, but Loki and Sylvie wins. They go back to the TVA, realizing they didn't fix anything. They only managed to keep the TVA from getting destroyed.

Can't help but recall MIB 3 where Agent J has a sudden craving for chocolate milk, which leads to Agent O discovering Boris the Animal used a time machine to alter history since apparently chocolate milk cravings equals time travel shenanigans, maybe it could be a reference to that?

Hear me out: what if Victor Timely getting spaghetti-fied by the temporal aura actually ended up splitting him across the various timelines. Since he is now spread across the different timelines he can develop time travel technology at various different points (think Clara Oswald in Doctor Who), leading to variants of himself meeting and then the Kang war He Who Remains warned Sylvia and Loki about. Basically Victor Timely Spaghetti-fied -> variants of Victor (Kang) everywhere -> Kang Time War -> He Who Remains. This could be the very incident that completes the loop.

[@RikLord79]

I hope that episode 5 is a “time loop” episode, just like one of the last agents of shields one, where the events of episodes one to 4 keep on repeating until they find a solution that saves them. I’ve just always been fascinated when such events get portrayed and I’m exciting for the mere possibility of it happening.

I just posted that with all the failsafes removed, Loki and Sylvie can now use their magic. If so, then infinity stones can be used to induce a time loop like Dr Strange. There are many infinity stones there in the TVA currently, mostly used as paperweights.

There were stakes and consequences and nobody is fully safe from either. That's why its so good, that's why many classic action or sci-fi films are so good as well, even if we "know" TMC is gonna make it, there isn't this constant safety cage around the movie.

[@pethomas1223]

In addition to the scene at the Jet Ski dealership, there are a few scenes from the trailer we haven't seen yet. 1. Spaghetti in front of Sylvie, 2. Kasey in a prison or psych ward, 3. B-15 in a nurses uniform and 4. Ramona in front of purple glow. I think you didn't mention the last two.

[@sonqbryd16]

Jonathan Majors comedic timing is great! That comment about stuttering was hilarious 😂

[@BadGoodmanGaming]

What caused Loki to start time slipping in the first place? Sylvie sending him in the past to a different version of the TVA. So how will he start time slipping again? Sylvie, in a last-ditch effort to save herself and everyone else will sending everyone (or maybe just Loki and herself) back in the past again, so they can fix the timeline and not be destroyed.

[@Riku-zv5dk]

I think He Who Remains whole backup plan involved bringing spaghettified and pulled across the timeline. O.B. explained that if Loki is spaghettified he would be lost to time, I theorise this is how Kang's variants got spread Kang got spread across the multiverse in so many points of time, he was decomposed by the high levels of temporal radiation and pulled into the Loom, and as the Loom collapses and the energy is released in the meltdown, what was Viktor is scattered over the various points in time and eventually recomposing themselves back into individuals from Viktor's spaghettified essence. If this is all one big time loop, then it explains how someone like Viktor, born in the 19th century, can end up in the 31st century to discover the multiverse.

Victor said “it should be me, I’m the only one who knows how the multiplier works”. What I think, is that the 3 time keepers are real, and it’s victor, OB and Casey. Only those 3 have “read” the TVA handbook and all 3 of them seem to know everything about everything, but only give enough information out - to not arouse suspicion. I think victor’s comment is literal “it should be me, and I’m the only one who knows how to ‘multiplier’ works. In other words - I’m confident that all those 3 knows what the time loop is, and how it begins and ends. Therefore they ensure it goes to plan, everytime. So I think victor does it, because he wants his essence to by multiplied, and the spaghetti he turns into, are now variants of him. Each strand going into a different timeline at different points in time - hence why each variant is in a different period. He basically creates his own variants, to give validation to why he needs to be “god” and stop them all, creating his own timeline.

[@MrLee-cy1pw]

The entire TVA was blasted with temporal energy, so it's safe to say everyone was spaghettified just like Victor Timely. I think everyone is going to be time slipping all over various timelines next episode which explains why Loki is seen time slipping at the Jet Ski dealership in the trailers.

Just a little thing that's been rattling in my head for a while... 42 is also important in MARVEL due to the first Civil War. It was Project 42, a prison in the Negative Zone where Tony Stark, Reed Richards and Henry Pym devised a "semi-permanent" place to put supervillains (and those who didn't register).
