The Loki series is exactly what marvel shows should strive to be. It was great. Really felt bad for Loki having to be all alone holding the multiverse together.

Mobius predicted the solution all the way back in episode 1 when he said: "I need a Loki Who Remains".

“For you, for all of us!” was his last line in Thor talking to Odin before he fell into abyss and his last line in Loki. Gave it a real meaning the second time around. Cool arc.

The “original” Loki from the MCU sacrificed himself to save Thor and his people of Asgard. The Loki from Disney+ was taken from this timeline and was never able to experience this moment, or moments, that led to him learning how to be selfless. Yet, he still learns it and makes a sacrifice to protect those he cares about. This Loki was always destined to be a hero.

I never thought I would ever like Loki more than Thor

The time stone being green makes so much sense now

The thought of this Loki showing up in Kang Dynasty and Thor seeing his brother not only alive but then finding out all the good he has accomplish will be 'Glorious"!

I think everyone needs to remember that this all comes to fruition because of the amazing Writers, Pencilers, Inkers, Colorists, Editors that for decades at Timely/Marvel Comics dedicated their craft. A standing ovation for all of them since 1939.

Tom’s dedication and passion to this role was *INSANE!* - He watched the movies since the beginning and loved them. - He read all the comics as he was growing up. - He held multi-day long ‘Loki’ & ‘Marvel’ lectures for the entire cast and crew even going to Owen’s house several days in a row to help him prepare for his role as ‘Mobius.’ - He learnt Norwegian and sang in it as well as study Norse lore to prepare for his role in the first Thor movie. - He asked the composer, Natalie Holt to put certain music tracks into particular scenes - He became a ‘special executive producer’ for the series

Best MCU show! Loki has become one of the best written characters in the MCU. 10/10 show! 10/10 finale!

Can we just take a minute to once again acknowledge Natalie Holt's amazing work on this show?! Just SO damn good.

It was such a good ending, better than I could have hoped for. I'm not crying it's the rain

I've never had a finale emotionally destroy me this much. I was actually sobbing. Best MCU show by far

I cried at the Kintsugi throne. It had such symbolism and meaning to repair what is broken and make it more precious than it was before - and he did it with the throne, with his crown, and with the very timelines. Beautiful finale. Couldn't have bestowed it upon a more deserving character or actor.

"Time is an illusion." and it's beautiful to see that the character who creates illusions now controls time. So that was character development at its finest. And I found it funny that he always wanted the throne and now he's firmly attached to one. It's interesting to see his wish come true, but it comes with enormous responsibility. Sensational series finale. I hope Marvel continues to build their movies so well after the low point of the last few years.

I also feel that Loki's horns growing during his walk out of the time stream to be the physical representation of him getting older, wiser and more powerful with time. Getting to the level and possibly surpassing Odin. As it took him and Sylvie to open the end of time to meet He Who Remains.

I can’t stop thinking how all this Multiversal chaos started only because Hulk was told to take the stairs 😂😂😂😂

Just goes to show that Marvel can still knock it out of the park when they take the time to focus on writing and character development. Not to mention getting fantastic performances from their all-star talent pool. Tom Hiddleston was brilliant!!!

I was kinda thinking they were just referring to the quantum realm when they said the 616 adjacent realm, meaning each realm has its own quantum realm. Also it was pretty cool that Odin originally said both Loki and Thor were meant to sit on a throne, almost like Odin always knew Loki’s true purpose.

I loved the way they designed Loki's clothes, just fabric, no armour, no gold, no luxury... just humble clothes for a humble God

Loki is not alone. That enlightened smile in the end tells me that he is connected with all of the people he loves on the different timelines that flow through him. He is in fact connected to every living being in an infinite Multiverse

The writing for this series has been phenomenal.

"First duty of a ruler is to serve his people and not for his people to serve him" Man this hits from the heart, and it relates so much with Loki and his character development.

Loki has always been my favorite MCU character. His self titled show did not disappoint. Just something about how he is powerful & fallible makes it resonate to my own existence bc I'm not perfect... but he never gave up despite failing repeatedly, getting beat (literally & figuratively), & just battling his self discovering who he is.

Whoever wrote and directed Loki Series needs to take care of the Avengers 5 and 6

Never cared about Loki until this show. What a redemption. 10/10 ending.

I just want to give a congrats to Loki for literally holding the whole MCU multiverse saga on his shoulder 👏

I like how this show started by saying to Loki him being a god doesnt mean anything in the scale of the TVA, and finished by him turning into the god of time. Also went from greedy/power drived god to humble/guardian god, its the perfect glowup Loki deserved

There has never been a greater MCU moment than when Loki realizes his purpose in episode 6.

I like to think that Loki chose to take the appearance of Yiggrasil because he was inspired by the stories he was told as a child, and that the stories of Yiggrasil are thmesleves inspired by Loki, making it an other Ouroboros loop

I don't think he's alone. I think he sees into every timeline. And is in essence Omnipresent. He thought he would serve alone but is in fact with everyone now.

I can’t believe it he made a sacrifice that I would never of imagined him making but it just shows how he grew into the hero he was meant to be

This was great. One thing that's been going around on Twitter, was that there was another closed Ouroboros loop. At the end of the first Thor movie when Odin is holding onto Loki at the broken Rainbow Bridge, Loki's monologue ends with: Loki: I did it for you! For All of us. Odin: No, Loki. When Loki turns to see Sylvie and Mobius, he talks about knowing what type of god he needs to be and ends it with: Loki: For you.... For all of us Mobius: NO! Sylvie: LOKI! The same lines, read in two very different ways. By everyone in the scene. The first time Loki says this, he's frantically pleading with his father to be seen, to be heard, for validation that what he did was not wrong. And Odin tells him calmly. No. The second time he says them, he's lived a lifetime of destructive behavours only to find out what was the most important thing to him. Friends and a family that both see and hear him. And to save them he knows what he has to do. So he says what he says in a resigned and yet hopeful way. Only to have Mobius and Sylvie yell out to him in fright because they've yet to see the bigger picture that Loki has come to realize. The end of his loop. His character arc complete, achieving the same growth that Thor did.

An insanely perfect ending. Honestly if he was done with the role for now, I wouldn't be mad with this send off. If only his Brother got the same treatment.

This show was so good! Everything was well written. Just sobbing that Loki had to leave everything he cared about behind. This was the best arc out of every movie I’ve seen. ❤❤❤

When Loki was looking into the camera saying he “knows what kind of god he needs to be … for you”, I honestly took that like he was speaking to MCU fans. It’s like he sacrificed himself for us in a way to coarse correct the MCU for the better.

Seeing Tom Hiddleston's Loki literally "burdened" with his glorious purpose was mind-blowing! He didn't want a thrown but he was BORN for it. To be the King of Stories was his ultimate calling. Is this what Feige had planned all along? I don't know if we have ever seen a complete character arc; what do you think?

Beethoven's 5th symphony is also known as The Fate Symphony. The recurring motif was said to represent fating knocking at the door. The bgm is not just a remix, it is a remix of the very FATE of MCU :)

I have a theory that the meeting place of the Council of Kangs is in the Void at the End of Time. It makes sense when you realize that, along with Loki, Kang variants are the most frequently pruned, and we saw how many Loki variants there were in the Void. Perhaps Renslayer will be revealed as a Kang variant and recruited into the council.

Love the origin of the tessaract being from the mural of the tree and that Loki started this whole journey as a variant who used the tessaract in End Game

Not only was this the best ending to an MCU show, it is the best ending to anything the MCU as a whole has ever done.

If Loki could stop his time slipping and master it, also hold the multiverse together I think it’s safe to say his power has no limits. Eventually I think he’ll be able to leave the end of time and do what he pleases while still holding the multiverse together. It’s kinda crazy how powerful he is. He technically can’t die either because if he gets close to it or thinks he might he could just time slip and change the situation or be ready for anything coming.

My theory is that when Loki timeslips (similar to time travel on the physical timeline) the new chain of events is supposed to create a new timeline but because they are outside of time it can't, so that's why every time Loki timeslips in the final few episodes the surrounding area always spaghetti-fies... those events technically didn't happen although Loki still experienced/remembers them

Did anyone mention yet how cool it was. At the 34:44 mark when Loki did his last time slip back to the TVA. Victor Timely had his head in the machine and just as it said "Welcome he who remains!" Loki slipped back into his body? Love the little nuances! I'm gonna miss this show!

Loki sacrificed himself over his friends, and The One Who Remains sacrificed everyone over himself. I have to admit I teared up a bit to see Loki get his glorious purpose! I had to clap at the ending, bravo! Well done. This show was amazing!

Perfect finale! I hope we see Loki return in Secret Wars or Kang Dynasty or both! And I hope we get the Thor and Loki reunion they confirmed happens around That time too!

I love the idea that heroes need Loki's help in secret wars someone's go get him and we're hopefully gonna see Loki who have watched over whole timelines for eons so is much more experienced ,calm and composed but still has this trickster in him.

Loki's last words to Sylvie were the same as the last words of him to Thor in Thor 1

This series was such a treat. I love how inspired the visuals were, how carefully they went about the story, and honestly, how messy they made time travel, leaving it up to the audience to try to understand how it all fits.

"We die with the dying. We're born with the dead" "Most purpose is more burden than glory" "You must choose your burden" Such beautiful lines of Cinema. Loki is gonna be my core memory years from now

after watching this show; it made loki my favorite hero by FAR. his character was so well done, and I feel like he represents everyday people. also, giving up the ultimate sacrifice to be a slave to save all those you love, is truly the ultimate sacrifice.

From rewatching the finale I had an epiphany, you were right being behind everything including putting Loki on his thrown in the end. Romona did say in the first episode that the Avengers did everything they were supposed to do, which includes accidentally dropping the Tesseract that Loki picked up that kicked the whole show into gear

It was reported over the summer that Jeff Loveness was removed as head writer of The Kang Dynasty following Quantomania's poor return rate from its theatrical run. If that's true, I hope Eric Martin has been brought on as the new head writer as he's perfect for it. He'd be the only one who could re-intergrade the Kang storyline without disregarding Loki seasons 1-2 and he knows how to write a compelling time travel story.

genuinely one of the best tv show episodes i’ve ever seen, my god does this reinstate my faith in marvel. so excited for what’s to come in kang dynasty and secret wars

That final look back before he had to sit on the throne alone just makes me so sad for him. He isn’t because he actually cares about the people he is saving but, damn..

Ryan, I just want to thank you for being an amazing host for us on this journey. You put out a lot of quality content at record speeds without sacrificing that standard I've come to expect from you. Praying you find rest and a suitable pace to take care of yourself! ❤️

Man...that walk was absolutely epic. It gives you time to think about it being his birth right, and what Odin said about them both being destined to be kings... his whole journey in the MCU leading up to that up to that very moment. Glorious Purpose! Iol I Fn love Loki!

The best season finale on Disney Plus, ever, and I mean EVER!!!! Prove me wrong. A special mention to the performance of Johnthan Majors

I never thought I would ever like Loki more than Thor. The time stone being green makes so much sense now.

I liked the symmetry between this and the first Thor movie. The Bifrost was a large round structure over a void, attached to a long walkway. The temporal loom interface was a large round structure at the end of a long walkway. At the end of Thor, Loki falls from the shattered end of that walkway, purposeless and selfish. But this time he walked from the end of that shattered walkway, creating his own path. The design of the loom interface had to be an intentional nod to the Bifrost.

I really cried for Loki. This really gave me chills! I LOVE IT

Finally we get a marvel show finale that isn't rushed! And it was glorious.

Loki has become my favourite character in the MCU. What a legend. I hope he can pass the time watching the lives of the people he saved.

At 24:55, does anyone notice how the rings form face of miss minutes.. Kind of scary as if it depicts that ms minutes is larger than Kang!

Best MCU show BY FAAAARRRRR! They need to put the loki team on many more projects!

Also noticed when loki is walking across the bridge the side shot he looks like young loki from season 1 that killed Thor. Then we see him sort of aging into the older loki that said the glorious purpose line

The muffin joke creating an ouroboros with your Loki S2 breakdown vids... SO fantastic. As I said before, it's my favorite joke, and using it this way is super fun and clever.

I hope the Loki brings back the line "A wise king never seeks out war, but must always be ready for it" at some point when the multiversal war begins

An absolute triumph of a show. Thank you Screen Crush crew for your continued dedication and shared enthusiasm for all things comics!

Best show ever, in every aspect! Cast, crew, soundtrack... And Tom Hiddleston, man, he was superb! I was cheering and crying for him!

Since renslayer says that what the avengers did was “supposed to happen” in the first episode and they created the specific variant of Loki that we see in the show does that mean he’s technically not a variant but part of the sacred timeline which is why he doesn’t die when the failsafe explodes

Crazy how things come full circle. I wasn’t a big Marvel fan at first, watched movies randomly and out of order until Infinity War hit theaters. I heard good things so I did a massive binge and watched literally everything up to that and went and saw it in theaters (on its last week, haha). I’ve followed since. But, the full circle moment comes from Loki. When he gets choked out and killed in Infinity War, as I watched Marvel in a theatre for the first time, I thought it was amazing. Fast forward to the end and I loved it. Marvel has their Empire Strikes Back film. Now I think this episode is right up there, the ending was insane, caught me in the perfect mood and I loved everything about it. What I realized for the first time writing this comment is that Loki was apart of my two favorite Marvel moments of all time, how poetic.

Thank you to Ryan and all the rest of the ScreenCrush team for your breakdowns, theories, and analysis of this show! It's been a wild ride!

There's a lot of breakdown channels but the actual writing on this one, especially Doug, put's it in a significant class above the others. Really hope they know that and stick with it.

Just finished watching season 2 and made me realize that the infamous phrase "see you soon" wasn't meant for Kang's Variants coming back to haunt them, it was for LOKI.

About Renslayer and Alioth: HWR said that he had won the Multiversal War thanks to weaponizing Alioth. At the same time, back in flashback that Miss Minutes showed to Renslayer, HWR thanked Renslayer and the TVA for choosing him. I think this was probably because Renslayer was the one who tamed Alioth and gave HWR the control of the beast, thus helping him win the Multiversal War. And now Renslayer is at the Void and she meets Alioth again, she will probably end up being the key for a Kang variant to win against other Kangs and become the Prime Kang.

I loved the finale and I hope that Loki will show up in some of the future movies/shows. This episode reminded me a lot of the Dr Who Episode “Heaven Sent” because both have immortals stuck in a time loop trying to escape and every time making a little more progress each time they fail but eventually ends up in losing something important (for Loki, freedom and his friends and for the doctor his memories of Clara) Great breakdown and can’t wait for more Loki theory content!

Perfectly written, perfectly executed! And an excellent example of its genres too! One element about Loki's self-sacrifice at the end is that HWR could have sacrificed himself by NOT sending the TVA manual back to a young Timely. But he wasn't prepared to wipe himself out of the timeline - wiping out himself and his own variants (rather than their entire timelines) would easily prevent the multiversal war. But Kang would never do that - Loki did.

"Loki" was a cinema. Even if it's shot in tv series format. All superpuper mambo jambo is just a tool and a scene to show the hero's struggles and feelings. beautiful.

I like how he made the multiverse function like a tree: The Big Bangs take up their roots and grow into literal branches and then die off as discarded leaves leaving room for the new ones It’s also a nice reference to Yggdrasil

Eugene Cordero asking if Miss Minutes would kill us when he also plays Rutherford on Lower Decks, and created Badgey, is probably one of the greatest insider jokes ever.

I think one of my favorite details of Loki ascending to his new throne is his clothes and crown. Up til now every time we saw him wearing anything from asgard it was always heavy on the gold and pretty fancy but the clothes he chose to wear at the end of this show are very humble and not flashy or fancy at all.

Maybe, Victor Timely is He Who remains because he has the same temporal Aura. Even though they said that different Version have the same temporal aura, but Loki's variants do not have the same temporal aura, otherwise every variant of him (including Sylvie) should have been put together as the one Loki when getting put of the timeline with the temporal aura extractor in episode 1. So Kang's variants should also have different temporal auras. That leads to the point where Timely is He Who remains. And he who remains makes fun of Victor Timely in Episode 6, so maybe he has been making fun of himself as being younger and not having the same experiences. Big maybe!

This show was so well planned out. I really enjoyed this season and RU-vid channels like this help me to get fully immersed in it. Thanks!

One easter egg everyone seems to have missed was that when Loki was introduced in Journey Into Mystery #85, he's imprisoned in a tree. So the beginning is also the end.

Your explanations are fantastic. I had tears in my eyes when Loki took that long walk. I really loved that ending. It made a lot of sense and ended bittersweet. Not every ending should be a happy one. We need a mixture. They did a great job on this show. Also, you, Paul and Greg always make me laugh when you tell each other to F off.

An interesting science foreshadowing easter egg detail occur in E5: the mockup model of the loom stated at the bottom, "Not to Scale" and in E6 the core issue with their plan is that the actual loom could NOT scale to accommodate for all the branches. I thought that was a cool detail.

I love the humor in your videos. Keep it going Ryan, hope you never get tired of hosting and writing for this breakdowns and easter egg hunts ^^

When I saw the TVA plaque in the void with Ravonna, I didn't think it meant it was pruned. I thought that it meant the TVA headquarters eventually turns into the void at the end of time. Interested to see how that plays out!

This damn show is so effing phenomenal I’m speechless… 20 out of 10. Loki season 2 is a 6+ hour movie. A ultra phenomenal movie

Thank you for your breakdown of this story. I thought that I should hear a uniting narration about all this and it was it! So thank you so much👍

Kudos Ryan, yours is the first review I've seen which actually understood He Who Remains full plan and what happened at the end. Everyone else seems to have missed the thread. The only thing I feel that's missing is a mention about how his chat with Sylvie about having the chance to die fighting was not only referring to the fight against He Who Remains but a bit of foreshadowing about the multiversal wars. Loki's version of the loom gives everyone a chance to live and have free will but it doesn't prevent incursions from happening and people will have to fight for their survival. Which I guess it's what we are going to see next in the MCU with Deadpool, Kang Dinasty and whatnot.

Fantastic show - and makes you want to go back and watch the Thor movies and avengers again. Feels all connected into the infinity saga aswell,

I finished it & it completely blew me a way, far more than any of the other MCU Disney+ shows ever did. This show and ending was phenomenal & once again makes Loki perhaps one of the best characters of the MCU! Absoltley fantastic ending and definelty the best Marvel Disney+ ending Ive ever seen. That talk between Loki and Mobious about choosing burdens was chefs kiss, as well as Loki intertwinng the branches and holding them together as some sort of God of Stories was mindblowing To all those people who think Marvel is in shambles, than they definetly need to see this show, because its one of the best projects theyve released in a while.

Thank you. I really appreciate these breakdowns. They are helpful and informative,

Man, you're the best, this video was great, so many great infos!

Becoming the God of Stories was actually foreshadowed in Episode 1! Around the 34 min mark, there’s a quick view of the Time Variance Authority logo on the floor of the TVA. But because of all the papers strewn around, all you can see are the words Time…Author. For real! They showed it a couple times.

Loki finally became a king like his father promised. I'm so happy for him... 😢

Love the episode... thanks guys!
