Bonus mentions: Miss Minutes' animation looks really good, Johnathan Majors' Victor Timely's stutter says a lot, Sylive's face at Victor Timely's speech is heartbreaking, and my jaw literally dropped when Ravona landed in He Who Remains' throne room.

This episode confirms why OB's memories weren't erased as he really is the most important worker in the TVA and that Kang needed him to write the TVA instruction manual because it was vital to Victor's rise to power.

Loki should be the new standard for mcu shows. Its so good

I love the bromance between Loki and Mobius. Loki finally knows what it is to have a best friend and partner to have absolute trust in.

Loki has yet to use a dagger preferring to flex his magical might. He seems to be taking classical lokis philosophy to heart.

This is the MARVEL we were waiting to come back!! The quality. The suspense. The amazing story telling! Beautiful. 🔥

I think the “big secret” is Miss Minutes revealing that Ravona and He Who Remains had a relationship before the TVA, but HWR ended up leaving her and wiping her memory so he could go off to the End of Time while she runs the TVA for him. This would also refer back to the recording we heard in episode 1. Miss Minutes obviously has jealousy over that relationship, which can be seen throughout the episode.

I loved the scene with Miss Minutes getting super creepy because it was done so well. I was thinking to myself, "this is definitely a new direction, and I love it!" Also, and I know it's low hanging fruit, but I loved when Loki and Mobius were looking at the carvings of Baldur, Odin and Thor and just before they left Loki made a crack about how Thor isn't that tall. It goes to show that after learning about Ragnarock and his own death at the hands of Thanos, and ALL the development he had last season, Loki still hold some animosity towards his adoptive father and brother. And I loved how it was meant to be just a quick cheap-shot.

As a candle maker, he knew intimately the idea of decay, by way of a thread. One could say he successfully figured out how to burn the candle at both ends, without having to sacrifice the candle, from his experience making them. Candles also told time, by way of their consistent rate of melting wax and burning wick.👍🏽👍🏽

The real crime is us only getting 6 episodes of Loki each season

The facial expressions of Miss. Minutes, especially on the boat, are some god tier animation storytelling. You can read every one of her feelings hiding in the background without saying a word. You can see her boredom, admiration, smitten love, frustration, jealousy, and disturbing evil plotting perfectly. Also a tinfoil hat theory of mine is that Miss. Minutes is based on condensed timeline variants of Renslayer after HWR realizes no matter what he does she won’t be there with him at the end of time like Miss. Minutes is. Being AI with free will her feelings of loving him start to creep back out spending literal eternity with him. Miss. Minutes is like the HAL Renslayer who is going to go full tilt evil when rejected destroying the TVA creating the multiverse war so once again at the end of time she is alone with HWR. AI can’t be pruned and 1 Kang is basically immortal. All that’s left at the end of time.

Each episode keeps getting longer and longer and I hope it keeps going that way till the season ends. Almost every marvel show tends to get less and less time each episode. Loki is using every minute so well.

Wild idea, What if Sylvie DIDN'T cause a Nexus event. Ravonna States she "didn't remember" Sylvies Nexus event, but what if she Never knew it, she just responded to a Nexus event Sylvie was the only one at the Location so she must have been the Variant, when really He Who Remains sent a false signal to Ensure Sylvie would hunt him down

I actually teared up when Victor begged for Sylvie to spare his life. Jonathan Majors is a great actor.

Johnathan Majors steals the show every time he appears

The relationship between Kang and Miss Minuts took an unexpected turn. I expected their relationship to be that of a father and daughter type. But I didn't expect her to be madly in love with him.

I think that Kang displaced a younger variant of himself from the 31st century into the 1800s. A version of himself that was pure of heart before he could grow to become the angry and bitter man he was destined to be. He did this to always have that time loop. Also, what Miss minutes is going to reveal to Ravonna Is that Kang manipulated and used her to get to the top by making her fall in love and then betraying her by wiping her memory, of who she was and sending her to work for him in the TVA.

I'm surprised not many are mentioning how amazing Majors performance was. The way he did a perfect rendition of a stutterer who had a good grasp of the fundamental tricks of the time to disguise/reduce his stuttering. The second he started to talk on stage, I knew he was a stutterer. Most might have just thought he was being "theatrical" but he was clearly talking using long pauses and varying his tone to help out. Perfect performance

The "this is wild" line makes sense now bc HWR is remembering them from this episode. I always wondered why he was so "star-struck" with Sylvie and loki

There is an interesting detail in the lab scene that caught my attention: the presence of a plasma ball on the table near the board. interesting part is that the first plasma ball was created in 1894

I must say I did get a bit emotional when Sylvie spared Victor's life. Like I could tell it took so much of her not to immediately kill the man who would ruin her whole life.

Thor isn’t that tall 😂

Miss Minutes pretty much answered her own question on why she was never given a body. Kang would create Miss Minutes knowing she has a thing for him

13:15 Loki was looking scared when thor's thunder crackled near the beginning of avengers 1 on the plane

I absolutely loved this episode!! Miss minutes being in love with kang? Makes a lot of sense! Although it was still a twist lmao, she got a little terrifying there for a second, She’s such an interesting character. I also loved Jonathan Major’s acting in this episode, I’m soo waiting to discover more about this variant, who knows maybe he’s a good one?

Man…that “Sting B-Roll” part was incredible. Love watching how your content just keeps evolving it’s style. SC is hands down my favorite content creator.

The way they are slowly intertwining everything is amazing!! I believe timely is he who remains and the more we get closer to the end we are realizing the true beginning and the loop will finally be completed at the seasons end!!!!

Another great episode. I think the big reveal from Miss Minutes that will cheese off Ravona is that Ravona is actually a He Who Remains variant. She’d have the correct aura to keep things running while HWR pulls the strings through Miss Minutes outside time. Also explains why everything in the TVA went to crap after Ravona left. And if Loki and Silvie have taught us anything, it’s that people really do love themselves, so Ravona can’t help but fall for HWR variants.

Recap by Tammy AI

This is sort of getting me excited again in the MCU. For so long it has felt like they've released shows and movies that have nothing to do with a larger plot and only create plot holes for each movie. That or the story has been really poorly told and never had me all that invested in what comes next. Keeping my expectations low but this episode was good

Your enthusiasm during the breakdown videos is utterly exhilarating

If loki can change, i think victor timely can also change. He can be their ally to fight other kangs

This show is kind of reminding me of a show called Dark on Netflix. The characters live in a constant loop where the villain of the show is actually the show's main character years in the future, orchestrating events to make sure he is born.... I think this show will play out in a similar way

I think Victor Timely is He Who Remains, but I'm not convinced he is Kang the Conqueror. Rather, he's a variant of Kang from the branched timeline seen in this episode. I think the Sacred Timeline is needed to create Kang, so Kang can defeat the council, win the multiversal war, and create the TVA. Then, He Who Remains just needs to defeat one Kang variant using his knowledge of the TVA that Ravonna gave him in this episode which branched the timeline.

I think the secret about Ravonna is a going to parallel her relationship with Kang in the comics. She was a teacher in Season one, but we don’t know much else about her. Perhaps she had a happy life with a family, and because of Kang’s feelings/obsession for her (as noted in the comics), his jealousy would not permit her to live her life. He wanted her to himself. So he kept pruning her out of timelines each time she became a Variant, wiping her mind in the TVA (and keeping her information out of files so she doesn’t know), and almost kept her prisoner to keep her close to him by making her work in the TVA.

Ouroboros loop, nice!

I never thought I'd say this again about a Marvel TV show, but this episode was a masterpiece. I am SO relieved that Loki is redeeming the recent Marvel installments. I got really scared after Secret Invasion in particular.

What if the MCU wrote Renslayer as variant of Kang. Just like Sylvie and Loki are coexisting, RR could be a variant of HWR, probably a stretch. Also, this episode was centered a lot on the distinction between order and chaos. RR declared herself has order, and the scene cuts to Sylvie as chaos. The same way as Loki could represent order and Kang chaos.

I love that @15:00 science fiction bit was direct call back to Thor 1 Jane Foster saying almost the very words to Selvig

i appriciate Jonathan Majors acting. His way can me you fell like different kang are being played by different actors

20:18 those circular patterns are a similar pattern that’s on the tires of the vehicle that breaks into the HEX and Monica’s pendant in WandaVision ep 2

Man you’re killing it with these breakdowns. Here I was thinking I’d have to wait till tomorrow to watch this but nope! Nearly as soon as the episode is finished it’s all ready. Props to everyone at SC!

ob is slowly becoming one of my favorite time travelers🔥🔥

When Miss Minutes scoffed for the first time I went back and rewatched that scene immediately and was like "oh she salty!" By the time she came out with her feelings she had already done so much to tell her hand.

This breakdown is crazy. Kudos to you guys for putting this together. Insane depth and thoughts that aren’t far fetched. 👏🏼

I think that the secret turns out to be that the Kang who Loki heard in the recording is speaking to the rivonna that we see now, I think he promised her a seat at the end of time and then wiped her memory.

SO DEEP. I love how you're getting into the predictions. Loki is standout, and you are a brilliant sleuth.

Very interesting yet subtle study this episode of sylvie who desperately want free will having so much a hard time giving he who remain's variants the chance to make their own choices ,and write their own destiny We'll see how this all play out this question of free will verse destiny.

I knew that manual was going to come into play. I’ve commented on past videos that it was getting written in the past and getting updated in real time.

I think Loki pulling a Tony Stark in one way or another, sacrificing himself or this version of himself, in order to end the ouroboros and truly defeat Kang, would be fitting (and is likely where the multiverse saga is headed).

I think Loki takes over the TVA, because it’s his destiny to “lose” knowing this, he will do what he does best and “lose” to win, finally crumbling the tva

How are they supposed to wrap ALL OF THIS up in three more episodes?! 🤔

The secret that Ms. Minutes has that will make Ravona mad is that... Ravona is a Kang variant!!?! 🤯🤯🤯 And is He Who Remains contingency plan on creating him again after he is killed by Sylvie at the end of time.

Miss Minutes knows about Renslayer having been wiped like the others or something to do with He Who Remains

Idk why but, when Doug said "cause he is a husky man" @15:45 It literally made me lmao. lol

Adored this episode one of the strongest entries in the MCU show catalog to me Visually beautiful, great exploration of the dynamics of all characters involved intense amount of time getting to know timely great performance, and the cliffhanger cant wait for next week.

Shoutout to the editor for including that clip of Cabin in the Woods 🤣💀 30:49

a fun Easter Egg/note is that Walt Disney's father Elias worked as a carpenter for the 1893 World's Fair. Also, Victor Timely says a line that is very similar to a quote attributed to Walt: "All our dreams can come true, if we have the courage to pursue them."

I loved this episode, exactly what I'd expect from a time travelling TV Show. Bring on Episode 4.

Bro miss minutes is so terrifying in this episode. I think miss minutes is a memory of renslayer

Miss minutes is creepy asf bro 🤣

@ryan I think an additional point to add is that He Who Remains knows that Sylvie is the only one with Loki who make it to the end so he not only secures himself to come back by sending the TVA handbook back in time buuuuuuttttt he’s the one who orders Sylvie’s timeline to be pruned and her life be forever changed. That’s why Renslayer never tells Sylvie why she was detained because Renslayer doesn’t remember and was complicit in executing her pruning.

Yeah, I definitely think the end Cliffhanger is that Revona is a Kang variant. Either that or she is a miss minutes variant.

It amazes me how Loki is really defining this new era of the MCU. This is the show we should all be paying attention to. Regarding the Kang we saw in Ant-Man (which disappointed a lot of people), I think it was somewhat powerful but definitively not who he comes to be. This shows how He Who Remains holds a power that no one is aware of yet. This is why Loki is so terrified of him; He Who Remains' appearance is deceiving, and this comes from the god of mischief himself.

Möbius eating crackerjack 😂

A lot of people are down on Loki. I think they are just in a funk about Marvel and Disney (in some cases, deservedly) and don't want to change direction. This show is very good, and I am really enjoying it. The acting and sets are excellent. I'm still not a fan of the actress and way Sylvie is written, but on the whole, this is the best thing to come out of Marvel in years.

Great breakdown as always ryan perfect timing 😂👍🏽.

There are three VT in this episode. The scammer selling junk, the guy trying to impress the lady with the seat fridge, and Kang building a time stick in his lab years ago with no tech

I think they're setting this Loki up to become Avenger Prime

Miss Minutes be wildin'

Renslayer!?! Yeah, she’s likely Kang’s mom. The variant Renslayer is likely the one who didn’t have a child. Not as twisted as one may think, because as root causes go, things had to start somewhere.

@31:45 When He Who Remains Tells Sylvie "see you soon" he only literally meant "see you again!". Kang can transfer his consciousness and he said, "reincarnation"

I think Ravonna is a Kang variant like Sylvie is a female Loki. I also think that you're right about Kang being Timely, I think that he eventually finds Alioth and that's how this arc concludes.

It makes me so happy to think about your theory for Kangs dynasty, because that would mean we get more Loki and Loki (and Mobius) is almost the only reason I still watch Marvel...

If Loki kills Sylvie, then she can’t kill He Who Remains. That breaks the cycle. Alternatively, Loki could kill Sylvie’s motive by saving her from the initial trauma.

What if Miss Minutes is Ravonna Renslayer? Like after they win the multiversal war, she gets mortally wounded and He Who Remains puts her essence into pre Miss Minutes AI.

This episode was awesome. I loved Sylvie in it and kinda rooted for Sylvie to kill Renslayer because it is all her fault

Lol I just finished watching loki last night and I'm now going through your videos of this from beginning to end... you were just about right on almost everything. Makes me think you have a tempad

I’ll be pretty upset if Kang doesn’t end up being related to Reed Richards in this universe

i love that loki is in the passanger seat on the bike shortly after lol

A small detail I think you missed was in his lab when Renslayer pulled the phaser on him, she had told him on the boat she was Ms. Ravonna, but then Timely calls her Renslayer?

Dude. The Miss Minutes scene with Timely was sooo uncomfortable and I'm totally here for it. Something about AI going rogue makes my skin crawl. Love it.

Miss Minutes would make a great Cuphead villain.

I think the Baldr reference is interesting too as in Norse Mythology he returns from the underworld after Ragnarok, which also fits with your theory at the end!

Been watching y'all for a long time and the Sting/The Sting bit was a high water mark. Well done.

I kinda believe that OB might be the only one in the tva who isn't a variant, i think he is some being, like the abeloth in a way, who has being captured and exploited by Kang/he who remains.

The secret Miss Minutes is refering to at the end of the episode when she talks to Revona, could it possibly be that Ravona is in fact Miss Minutes, that He Who Remains did act on Miss Minute’s desire to be made “real”??

Ryan is single-handedly keeping RU-vid afloat

Wow! Raised the bar with this breakdown! Bravo!

Really appreciated the AI vs. ML explanation in the video. Perfectly put!

As much as this season is getting better and better, So is your explanation. I loved what you did in this vdo, going all the way and then coming back for your theory afterwards. Great job. I wish I could have a ranting session with you in person about all these theories and easter eggs. My friends who were into Marvel movies and shows, all slowly backed out because according them, "things were getting complicated". Well, where's the fun if the show doesn’t leave you a little bedazzled, right ? Hwvr, lots of love. Love your work

This “new theory” is what I’ve been saying since the finale of season 1. If time is in a loop, we just need to pay attention to Kang’s narration to know where the story is going. Since Quantumania I have been saying that we are watching only one Kang’s story, but out of chronological order. If he is a time traveler he doesn’t go only forward or backward, he will travel to when he needs or wants something. We are basically watching a time traveller movie, but from the POV of everyone else in the story. So we first see Kang at the end of his life, offer Loki and Sylvie a deal, then see him at his lowest, then see his origin, maybe next time we see him we’ll find out what got him banished. To us it is out of order, because he’s the one time traveling, not us. I think that at the end of the whole Kang Saga, there will be a video on here teaching viewers what is the correct order to rewatch all the movies/shows to follow Kang’s story from his POV. My prediction is that this Kang will be the only one to ever actually be with Revona and not want to join the council, they will kill her because Ricks don’t form attachments (oops, did I say “Rick”? I meant “Kang”), and that this is what will make him weaponize Alioth to defeat the rest of them. The story has already been spoiled in his very first appearance, but the point isn’t what happens but how. My final prediction is that when the heroes win, this Kang Prime will voluntarily go to the citadel at the end of time to wait for when Loki and Sylvie arrive.

6:46 We can see a temporal loom, an excellent reference with the cord to make the candle wick.

Loki is the best MCU show. It’s the only narrative (besides No Way Home, Multiverse of madness & Quantummania) that advances the multiverse saga in a real way. Every episode blows my mind and has me begging to know more. It’s a return to form with this one.

Couple of notes: 1. Ms Minutes is controlling what events become the sacred timeline in the loom, if he wanted to protect his own creation he could simply have told her to make that part of the sacred timeline rather than a branch. 2. Ms Minutes originally being a Chess computer program could be referencing the events of The Sarah Connor Chronicles where The Turk a chess playing computer would go on to become one of the rival AI's at war with Skynet. 3. Kang wanted to die, it could be this resurrection plan wasn't created by He Who Remains as Ms Minutes claims but actually her own plan because she wanted the object of her affection back. Indeed He Who Remains creating a sacred timeline where he doesnt exist and then asking Loki and Sylvie to take over in his absence is consistent with a retirement plan.

This was honestly the first episode of season 2 where I didn't feel lost and actually had a great time watching. I now can't wait for the next one 😁

Great acting by majors! Especially at the carnival

I found it very interesting when Ouroboros stated that he doesn't need to sleep (did he also say he doesn't need to eat?), and that he has what seems to be a very long if not infinite lifespan, so I'm wondering if OB is a creation of Kang's that will assist in the potential reintegration of He Who Remains... As if He Who Remains duplicated his "time related" information onto OB as a backup for said reintegration process. Similar to how R2D2 was able to re-upload C3PO's memory after C3PO translated the sith inscriptions on the assassin's blade in "The Rise of Skywalker". Certainly would create some dramatic conflict with the concept of losing such a charismatic and endearing character such as OB...

10:51 This may be a very subtle reference to Disney World. It’s likely no accident that Loki and Mobius go from the Chinese Village to Norway-which are right next to each other, even called “pavilions,” at EPCOT. Most importantly Norway has a permanent exhibition for the “Gods of the Vikings,” including wooden renderings of Loki, Thor and Odin. For those of us who love the parks, this was an awesome easter egg!
