What if Timely being turned to Spaghetti results to him being scattered to the timelines, creating the multiple variants of Kang (like HWR, Rama Tut, Kang the Conquerer). Meaning that although Timely was from a branched timeline, he is the OG Kang variant?

[@Galaxxymeeps]

He who remains is Kant the conqueror since they were wearing the exact same outfit so that would make sense

Yes I was thinking that, the physics of it being spaghetti just looked like the branched timelines, I think what's going to happen now is that either all of the people of the tva are going to end up in random branched timelines and time periods or all in one place.

I think Loki has been the best Marvel viewing experience since WandaVision and I’m very happy as a huge MCU fan, that they were able to drive a lot more hype back into the MCU this way

[@jacobsims8307]

Agreed,but I enjoyed 2/3s of moonknight quite a bit.

[@manniking233]

WandaVision and Loki are the only shows I care about. I don't trust Marvel to handle anything else.

[@Austin_FromTexas]

It seems obvious to me. When Victor was spaghettified and became an infinite number of pieces, these pieces were absorbed into the infinite number of timelines going into the temporal loom. This inserted Victor’s essence (with his memories) across the multiverse and across time. This is why there are Kang’s from all over history, and this is why He Who Remains wanted Victor to be given the TVA guide-book - to set off this chain of events.

[@anthonybeer6500]

Yeah as soon as I saw him ripped to strands I thought about the loom and what it does, it's weaved Victor Timely allllllll throughout existence.... Makes perfect sense

[@SparkySteve.]

Nail on the head. I also think the child who received the book on the Sacred Timeline is not the one we meet at the world fair, but the one that Oraborus speaks of and is ultimately HWR at the end. Which is why Miss Minutes tells Victor he'll never be HWR, because he's a variant of the original boy which received the book

[@irishviking383]

On a related note: when the same thing happens to the variant of Scott in Quantumania, if you look closely, the strands appear to be made up of smaller pieces twisted together like they're bits of rope and not individual strands like spaghetti noodles.

[@sarasharick5209]

That’s what I thought too all part of the plan.

Victor got sucked into time, and just like Kang in the comics, now he's everywhen... This is the best writing I've seen from marvel in ages!

[@nilrubio7040]

Loki carrying the whole MCU on its back. Creatively, storywise, writing, acting, far better than anything else at least on this phase. And we just witnessed Kang's origin.

[@christopherjamesboudoir]

This episode was an absolute banger. I figured it would be as it was the fourth episode. That being said, I think we need to take a moment appreciate Jonathan Majors' acting. In the event that Victor Timely, Kang the Conqueror in Quantumainia, and HWR from the end of the first season are the same person then we are getting a tour de force of ability. He is giving us distinct, yet similar versions of the early years of the character when he is excitable, the middle years where he is battle weary but will still end you in a heartbeat if it means achieving his goals, and the final years where he has literally seen and done it all and he can only wait for Loki and Sylvie to show up. And in his final years you see some of the mannerisms and speech patterns of Timely, minus the stutter. And you also see in him the warrior that truly believed a multiversal war and the eventual TVA were the absolute best way to keep the rest of the timeline safe. All the while he has developed an eccentricity of someone that has been alone for a very long time and needed to find some way to entertain themselves. I have found it all enthralling and I can't wait to see what he does with other variants in the later movies.

[@real_Hamilton]

He who remains said himself that he's lived a million lifetimes. And if that's the case then it only makes sense that after all that time his personality would go through some drastic changes. Making us believe that we're seeing different variants of him when it's really just the same person

[@mattmccomas1]

Easily the best episode of season 2 so far! Wow. Brutal at times (For the MCU osln Disney+ at least) and honestly just really entertaining throughout. Tense even a bit, with a great cliffhanger. Really dug this one! Poor Loki, he tries.

[@dseltzer3169]

Victor Timely is He Who Remains. I found something interesting and wanted others to let me know their thoughts. He Who Remains mentions he is from the 31st century in episode 6 of season 1. I found out that 1868 and 1893 are the years 3034 and 3059 in the Discordian calendar (the 31st century). According to Wikipedia, “Discordinsim is a religion devoted to Eris, the Greek goddess of strife and discord…” “The three core principles: the Aneristic and Eristic principles representing-order and disorder, and the notion that both are mere illusions.”

[@takeyourtime5025]

great

[@ikorraks]

Not sure if the original writer got inspiration for that from what you've said, but the 31st century Dr Richards is the origin in the comics, and Victor Timely is comic based too I believe. Victor was sent through time when he was a child to live in the 19th century so that he wouldn't become a Kang variant

[@foodybreezy4964]

The scene where OB and Victor found out they inspired each other was hilarious and my fav so far, also the way they connecting the dots is just incredible . All in all the Loki show is on the course to become one of the greatest shows of all time, if only they don’t fuck it up towards the end as Marvel tends to do with their shows aside from one or two shows out of many.. Also can we take a minute to appreciate Jonathan Majors acting skills!! Having to act three similar yet very different characters so good is no small feat, despite the controversy surrounding his personal life, his acting skills so far has been superb and I’m confident that he will deeply mark his name in MCU like many iconic actors.

[@benjaminjenkins394]

I will say this again and again…THE SHOWRUNNERS OF THIS SHOW NEED TO BE THE MAIN WRITERS FOR THE REST OF THE KANG SAGA! And yes, I had to yell that. Haha but seriously though, this should be the vibe of this rest of the phases until we get Kang Dynasty and Secret Wars.

they don't have show runners, at least didn't when they made it, moving forward mcu shows will follow traditional tv production standards but loki was the last to be made in marvel's re-invention of the medium, but i 100% agree with you. they. get. it.

[@miguelalvarado1591]

I'm loving this season and the talent of the writers and how they developed the plot really shone in the conversation between Loki and Sylvie in the pie room. The conflict between those two variants is represented by their different upbringing: Loki, who was part of a ruling class of Gods, understood the importance of the TVA's responsibility in helping to manage the timelines and "bring order to chaos." Sylvie, having that royal history stolen from her and growing up as a renegade, want to burn it all down and let each timeline live in their own terms. This is a beautiful representation of both sides of Loki, his anarchist and authoritarian selves and ideas in conflict struggling for a resolution. Love how the story has this tonality without being too preachy politically.

[@oxanatarashchuk4598]

OMG perfectly put 👏 Loved their conversation, it was carried out perfectly by the both of actors, bravo 👏

[@benjaminsoto8198]

At the 25:45 mark of this video, Ryan points out the “seeds for what makes Kang Kang”. “The desire for power, the desire to rule, the desire to prove himself.” The whole first season, they talked about “what makes a Loki a Loki”. It seem like the have the exact same elements at their core. Ryan, you could do a video on how Loki and Kang are the same. Not that Loki is a variant of Kang, but at their core, they have matching “temporal auras” (which must have something to do with the soul because the gatekeeper that captures and image of your AURA asked specifically about their soul”). Maybe that’s why he selected Loki to run the TVA. He knows what it takes to run the TVA. He pick someone who uses the illusion of force, to inspire fear. He who remains knows that in order to rule, your subjects can’t have free will, so he picked a guy who monologues about how FREEDOM is life’s great lie and he alone can save their lives from freedom. My theory is that He who Remains… and all Kings think they have to take away free will. Loki has gone on this character journey where he has learned how to value life… you could say he’s learning how to be a benevolent god. I think Kang put him on the journey with Silvie to rule the TVA that no other Kang possibly can. I think at the end of the multiverse phase, Kang will be defeated, and Loki will play a pivotal role in resetting the timeline in a way where there is Freewill, Kang is not in control of anyone’s destiny anymore. He will probably even sacrifice himself in battle to ensure this happens. It’s ok. He’ll go to Valhalla

Awesome breakdown as always. A good thing to remember is that the Loki we’re watching isn’t the same one that went through the character growth seen in Dark World and Ragnarok. He’s only witnessed the Prime Loki’s experience (and death) through the TVA recordings. This one is still fresh from his loss in the first Avengers movie so he definitely still has lingering notions for his “Glorious Purpose” and is going through a separate character arc now

Holy shit this episode was so good I am absolutely mind blown by the gruesomeness and emotion

[@cjmahar7595]

There's still that line in the first season where Loki says to himself "is this the ultimate power in the universe"? Showing that Loki could secretly want to lead or be part of the mightiest organization. So I think yes Loki still wants power.

[@annagora8696]

After Loki and Sylvie's conversation about taking responsibility for humanity, I have the impression that Loki spoke honestly in Stuttgart. It seems that Loki still believes that he is made to rule.

[@ZyliceLiddell]

@@annagora8696He *IS!*

[@aaron-articulated]

I think the beauty of Owen Wilson's performance all along has been that detachedness from his own humanity way of interacting with the other characters and how his constant refusal to find out about his past life isn't so much him avoiding the pain of regret for a life unlived but more that he can only do his job if he can think of other lives as merely blips on some grandiose spreadsheet he has to scroll through for his 9-5. I think his performance is showcasing well what someone might lose of their humanity in order to cope with the responsibility of effectively entry-level clerical janitors of entire existences

[@guencaelin9590]

I wanna add that Wanda turned Reed Richards into spaghetti. It might be possible she unravelled his timeline.

[@djodyssey99]

To all those that had the theory that the ‘big secret’ was Ravona being a Kang variant, I told y’all that was too far-fetched. 😂

[@sensaiuriah5440]

Exactly like they already pulled that gimmick before no need to do it again 😂. Then the only reasoning was cause Loki had a girl variant 🤦🏾‍♂️

[@intothefrayyo]

That + thinking it wasn't Loki pruning himself 😂

[@djodyssey99]

@@sensaiuriah5440 and on top of that, because Loki had that “self love with his variant”, they assumed they would pull the same thing with HWR. People had the theory that OB was a Kang variant too, which was also proved wrong in this episode. Not everyone has to be a Kang variant 😂 Plus I’m pretty sure Jonathan Majors is playing as all of the variants, so if it’s not Majors as the character, we can safely assume they are NOT a Kang variant.

Yeah it didn't make sense

[@MusicLover-my6fo]

This episode was a total mind fuck, and I loved it. So many things happened and it totally had me on the edge of my seat. Regarding Dox and the cube, she deserved it, but it took me completely by surprise and seeing Ravonna get pruned was really satisfying though, it would've been more satisfying if Sylvie actually did it instead of Brad being enchanted by her. With Victor being captivated by hot chocolate, I thought that was funny how someone who invents all these grandiose things can be enthralled by something as simple as a warm drink. And about Victor's fate walking into the loom, I don't know what happened. I don't know if he's dead, or if he's going to meet the Kang from Quantomania. This episode just went in so many different directions. MARVEL IS BACK!

[@stevendchu]

At this point, I feel like every Kang we meet is gonna die but with many possible ways for him to come back as the "main villain Kang" until Marvel actually starts writing the next Avengers movie. I hope by then, we'll get at least ONE proper origin story

The way that Dox addresses X5 makes it appear as though they may be relatives in timelines outside the TVA.

[@denardsmith9543]

After watching this episode, I'm still formulating my theory, but one evident thing in this episode that also connects to Quantumania is size and objects not "being to scale". The mini recording Miss Minutes showed to the diorama OB constructed of the temporal loom were all miniaturized. I believe that if Victor had been "to scale," he wouldn't have suffered spaghettification. Case and point, in Quantumania, Scott didn't start to separate until he tried to enlarge while he was in the radiation of the probability storm. With Kang's knowledge working in loop, he had to figure this out and put things in place so he'd come in contact with Antman or a hero who could manipulate size in relation to particles/sub atomic particles (still a working hypothesis)... Also, he totally threw that fight against the Ant-Family so he could become one with his "life's work" and obtain power. No way he wanted to escape like he told them (he's a con-man, don't forget).

I'm so amazed how fast you guys pop out these videos. So much good information.. Thank you.

[@BradyBigfooter]

I'm still very much considering the possibility that Victor Timely's "demise" was part of a massive plan by Victor. He's been shown to be a conman, and I find it strange how he volunteered himself for this incredibly dangerous mission. He seemed to be making up excuses for why he should be the one to go. Something seems fishy. If not Victor's plan, I think it was definitely planned out by He Who Remains.

[@TheInfintyithGoofball]

Sounds pretty viable.

[@myadoesrandomthings]

Yeah I’m glad I’m not the only one suspicious of victor timely

[@shindearyan1999]

Victor Timely is definitely not done yet. Remember he still has to guide OB in writing the book . So i think its all aprt of the plan. He will be back.

[@lightdarksoul2097]

Likely yeah but also from what NR said it could be that Miss Minutes has ruined the plan that was meant to be now Loki will have to time slip back to try and change things

[@Unknown_-bt8uv]

Why would he time slip again and why would he have to help him write a book that's already written? They literally asked the other to sign their manual.

[@sonumondal5322]

@@Unknown_-bt8uv idk about the book, but Loki S2 trailer had more time slipping scenes, ig now that the loom exploded, he will start time slipping, the reason of him time slipping from the beginning of this season still remains a mystery though.

[@Cvmpbell]

The ending was super ominous imo, the music cutting and the screen going to black gave me chills lmfao

[@annieh1315]

“Or maybe it’s just a hexagon.” Finger tap… that was the best!!

[@alyx5491]

I believe that the next episode will begin with Loki being back in Thor or Avengers 1 as all of the call backs to past events in other movies seems to be foreshadowing more than just Lokis change in character.

[@christophermarzett4347]

Man, you guys, analysis is spot, no.I Shed a tear for victor too😢

[@elisandroku]

I don't think WHR and Victor Timely are the same people. 1st of all Miss Minute says you're not HWR and second, Victor Timely came from a branched timeline specifically. On the other hand, HWR told us that he was living in the 31st century before he'd met his variants.

[@noobatnothing]

HWR*

[@wobsoriano]

He said a variant “of me” lived in the 31st century. Not him

[@lightdarksoul2097]

Also it could be HWR was Victor and he beat the 30th century version of himself.

[@elisandroku]

@@noobatnothing yeah, thanks, edited.

[@elisandroku]

@@wobsoriano maybe something like this. But, let me tell you one more thing to think about it. There's still a victor timely in our sacred timeline who hasn't got a TVA book by Ravonna and Miss Minute in 1868 Because when main Victor Timely got that TVA book, he became a variant like Loki in 2012. Loki -the sacred timeline- is actually dead as you know. So, we actually still don't know our main Victor's real life choices and what he actually did without having book.

[@siobhanb.5112]

Damn Doug coming in hot with the shade... lmao "Yeah, or maybe it's just a hexigon". Savage.

[@Omariibrahima]

I think Paul’s theory on Heavy Spoilers makes more sense that the variation of Timely has to die in order to bring back He Who Remains.

[@Brucifer667]

I just gotta say. This episode, creepiest episode ever! Right on Halloween weekend? Perfect!

[@Moto_Mo13]

Every time I watch this channel it’s further cemented as my favorite review/breakdown channel

[@rafaumtgavioli]

When Timely was interested in hot cocoa during this time chaos it reminded me of MIB 3. When Boris the Animal traveled back in time and killed K and altered J present, he suddenly had the urge to drink chocolate milk, then agent O sad that the obssesion with chocolate milk indicates that you might be involved in a temporal fracture.

[@callmev3531]

2:37, There’s also the possibility that this palace has been repeatedly damaged and rebuilt over the course of various iterations of multiverse being destroyed and replaced with new iterations, as this space where the palace lies is outside any timeline. And with every new iteration of the multiverse escaping containment and regenerating, another version of He Who Remains comes into being, presumably armed by the previous version with special knowledge (or more specifically access to Alioth if we’re to assume there has only been one previous iteration of He Who Remains and the Multiversal War since Alioth is assumed to have only been created once and has no other version of it) that would allow him to win the war and take his place. 10:56, Due to the concept of variants, branching timelines, and timelines being destroyed and replaced with replicas of themselves, it doesn’t necessarily mean that a specific version of Nathaniel has to meet this specific version of O.B., as the multiverse and every variant that isn’t part of the TVA or resides in the Void or the Citadel died when the previous multiverse was destroyed by Alioth amd replaced with the current iteration when the Sacred Timeline breached containment. From O.B’s perspective as someone who lives at the TVA and is therefore outside of normal time, this version of Victor only recently came into existence around the time Sylvie killed He Who Remains the Temporal Loom began overloading. 21:42, Similar to how they combine retrofuturistic sci-fi music and 80’s synth with dramatic orchestral themes (with heavy emphasis on violins that are meant to symbolize Loki’s Norse inspiration), they appear to be pulling from Victor Timely’s era for music involving him. Having musical themes that break out of shows sci-fi format also somewhat links this version of Loki who has reformed himself and has overcome his flaws with this less malevolent version of Victor Timely who genuinely wanted to be a better person than his variants are before he was killed. 23:46, An important distinction that is subtly made by this plot point is that only in dimensions outside of time that have their own rules of how time works like the TVA (and presumably places like the Void, the Citadel, Quantum Realm or the Dark Dimension can interacting with that dimension’s past warp reality rather than create a branch. With the creation and destruction of branches, no future is able to interact with it’s own past to directly affect or create itself. Loki having to prune himself is the only real time loop in the show in a sense, as Loki interacting with his past while in the TVA does affect his current self and allows him to exist, while the TVA and Multiversal War loop result in the erasure and replacement of both by newer versions (just like this Victor Timely isn’t the one that knew and worked with O.B. originally) and are carefully planned around by He Who Remains, who had eons to make the necessary arrangements to ensure he successor but also had no way of directly effecting the outcome if one of the pieces of his plan were taken off the board, especially now that he’s dead. 25:47, Her telling him that he will never be He Who Remains (while a possible reference to Loki’s last line to Thanos before his death, dismissing the idea that he would ever be a “god”) may also just be foreshadowing his impending death, meaning that another Kang variant will soon arise and attempt to take the position of He Who Remains himself. The idea of variants specifically implies that there are any number of possible candidates out there that have a shot at replacing He Who Remains without actually having to be a specific version of him, especially if Victor’s death means that He Who Remains’ plans are being disrupted by Loki and Ravonna’s actions as well as this Victor truly being less greedy and malevolent than his counterparts and him seeing these murals only makes him more disturbed at what “terrible, awful things” these other versions of him have done and have sacrificed simply for power (along with the added horror that He Who Remains isn’t even the worst version of him as there are many who are now out there and more on the way the longer the Loom remains unfixed). 26:27, She’s shown in trailers to be near Alioth in the Void, but it remains to be seen if Alioth disintegrates her or not. 27:12, This specific version of Victor is likely going to stay dead (even if his counterpart on the Sacred Timeline and now the fully regenerated multiverse still exists), but that only means he isn’t going to replace He Who Remains, but now that the multiverse has breached containment, Victor specifically doesn’t need to be the one who replaces He Who Remains, but can never truly become him since him being a variant inherently means he is a separate being from any other version of him that interacts with the multiverse (which may be another reason behind Miss Minutes’ last words claiming Victor will never be He Who Remains). 29:47, Being a separate being to his other variants, she would always only be meeting a variant of him, which can also tie back in with the distinction of Ravager Gamora not really being the “real” Gamora that Peter and the Guardians knew and loved, which she repeatedly iterates throughout Guardians 3. This demonstrates how despite the possibility of time travel and multiversal counterparts, these variants are all separate beings that once dead, can’t ever truly be replaced by other variants due to them all being inherently separate beings with the ability to have unique experiences (and therefore, different personalities) from each other. This is also what makes this version of Loki matter, as he is not the same character as his film counterpart in more than a few ways and is the only version of himself who has experienced what he has experienced, which would make his death something that couldn’t be truly undone by the introduction of another variant of him, as that variant again would be a separate being with their own experiences. 29:52, He Who Remains claimed he discovered Alioth in the cracks of dimensional rifts, not that Alioth was fully formed, waiting for him in the Void to tame it. Alioth’s creation could also be a way to measure just how many multiversal cycles there have been. If we assume it was only made once and there isn’t another version of it out there in existence or that if there were other Alioths made in each cycle that it destroys the previous one, then there has only ever been one other multiversal cycle. But furthermore, if not all versions of the cycle are exactly the same in terms of exact details and events, Ravonna may not really be instrumental in winning the Multiversal War, especially since any version of him or Kang that would manage to gain access to it would automatically have the means to end the war. For now, Alioth appears to be the primary key to how this war could potentially end and what these new Kangs of this new version of the multiverse would be fighting over to ensure they’re victory over the others.

[@watcherzero5256]

I think the next episode will be a castaway type episode where they were all returned to their original timelines as they are no longer outside time. Timely may have been playing them too, remember when she asked where the device was he said she was going to like his answer. I think he suggested using his orb either because it would then be powered up by the Radiation giving him his immortality or he was instead spread throughout time (aka Clara's ending in Doctor Who where she spreads herself into each of the Doctors time streams) so now multiple versions of Timely/Kang will emerge in different time periods.

I have suspicions about that coffee scene.. it to me at least played out as if Victor timely was following instructions. Like he was waiting to hear the word coffee machine ... I don't know to explain it... I have a theory that the TVA handbook secretly describes what's supposed to happen and Victor timely it's going with the plan, like he knew he was the one who was supposed to go out to the loom and he was supposed to stall Ravona ... I dunno.. I'm still working it out in my head lol ...MAYBE the next episode will have everyone wake up on their own timeline or something... we'll see Mobius riding a jetski ....I missed feeling this excited about the MCU... I think the last time I was just excited was an episode of Wanda vision when Wanda's brother showed up at the door....
