re: Loki Season 2: Season Long Discussion Thread

Masterful series and finale, crazy awesome visuals, and this feels like the conclusion to a great arc. I’d rank Loki S1&2 right up there with some of the very best of the MCU.

I’m hoping that we at least get an appearance from Loki in Kang Dynasty. Maybe a callback to Ragnarok where Thor and Doctor Strange go to the end of time to talk to him about HWR.

Loki:

I truly pray Jonathan Majors is innocent. Dude was amazing this episode yet again

Even if he did it, can we just treat him like Casey Affleck and ignore his indiscretions?

I’m pretty sure Majors isn’t getting convicted of anything.
Now does that mean they are still moving forward with him or not, I don’t know, but they gave themselves a pretty easy out if they need to b/c Loki seems like he defeated him and is capable of preventing him from ever coming back.

What an awesome last episode and an awesome series. Loki always was one of my favorite marvel characters and this show was great.
I hope this isn’t the end for Loki as far as on screen goes, but it kind of felt that way.

Or since he’s working outside of time, does this mean Loki actually created Yggdrasil from the beginning?

I think it’s this. Which, when you think about it… puts an even greater emphasis on Loki’s role as a “god.” What is the thing that separates a god from an Asgardian? There must be some element of eternity there… some aspect of them that reflects an element of infinity. Maybe there’s something more to Loki’s line in response to Sylvie’s suggestion that “they are playing god.” Loki slowly but surely realizes that’s exactly what he is, and now he truly is one, in name and deed.

This proves Disney Marvel can still create greatness when they want to. This was an all time great series and surpasses anything Marvel has done since Infinity War. Now that it’s done, I’m starting a series rewatch.

They show what Disney CAN do, and it just makes a lot of the current crap even worse

Right on!

I'm clearly the only one who didn't like or understand this last episode. All I saw was Loki grab a lot of space yarn and sit down. Now I'm supposed to believe he's somehow the center of time and space?

to each their own

Isn't he an adopted dark elf or something, not even a true Asgardian? This stunk to me of writers with no clue deciding they should give a character whatever power he needed in order to fix their plot mess. Felt like a copout and made no sense.

Frost giant, not dark elf. Odin did something to him so that he 'looks' Asgardian, so he's something of a hybrid. Freya taught him the use of sorcery and magic, going back to the first movie, so that isn't new that he has powers.
Thor related that he turned himself into a snake, he's changed his appearance and surroundings quite a few times, and so forth. He was able to bewitch even Odin at the end of Thor 2. He got rag-dolled by Hulk, but he tanked that beating; he was walking afterwards. As stated he fell out of the bifrost, and fell into the void without harm... makes it not unbelievable that he could survive the timeline radiation that killed humans.

This is the first time we've gone into any detail about some of his powers, but he's always clearly been able to do a lot. This just shows what he's truly capable of.

Also, why did they make Sylvie so ugly for season two? Nice mullet.

I get the sense Sylvie could look any way she wants to, and in this season, she's been hiding in the 1980's as a McDonalds worker. I don't think being a supermodel would have been too discreet.

I think it’s pretty clear after HWR died in Season 1, Loki got a power up in terms of the time slipping. Being able to go back and forth in time, stop time, and stop others within a moment in time is incredibly powerful. It also may or may not have juiced his overall power.

Not sure about comics, but in lore, Loki isn’t JUST a Giant. He’s half god, half giant and just as powerful as Thor, just not in terms of strength. I think we all forget Loki is a God and clearly pretty damn powerful but because his power has been turned off in the TVA, we haven’t really seen him flex that muscle. I think him understanding what God he wanted to be, right before he went out the door to the Loom, unlocked some more hidden power he didn’t know he had, kinda like when Thor leveled up in Ragnarok.

So will kangs (Jonathan Majors appearing black males) still arise?
