You want him to be likable and on occasion he is before slipping again. I watched him observe the record of his death in the hands of Thanos (I assume the future) and I’m very curious how this is addressed. Remember he has died or appeared to die multiple times through the MCU, but always returns. Yet his neck being crushed by Thanos seemed terminal, although that could be just another illusion.For the most part I've been enjoying this, even though it's really getting feel good and Loki is not a feel good God, you almost get the sense that they're going to breakout into a dance number. Still, good fun.

Maybe… he’s the Loki from 2012 that we are familiar with and unless they go out of their way to address it, this Loki is the one we watched Thanos kill, even though (I think) he was looking at the future, his future. Yes there are a bunch of Lokis but very few look like our Loki.Different Loki.
You and me both!All I know is it’s going to be one hell of a final episode. I wish they could start season 2 in 6 months rather than waiting a year.
I’m sure that’ll work out as well as for example removing Saddam from Iraq or Gaddafi from Libya worked out for those regions.Oh, and down with the TVA!
He is a different Loki the same as we now have a different Gamora. They were both killed during the Infinity saga and their past selves were plucked out of time from several years earlier.Maybe… he’s the Loki from 2012 that we are familiar with and unless they go out of their way to address it, this Loki is the one we watched Thanos kill, even though (I think) he was looking at the future, his future.

Your comment at the top, about parallel universes and different timelines being equivalent. I don’t think that’s quite right.For @Edd, I realize that a split timeline is a parallel universe/existence that runs side by side.
Ok I got it.
Disney is going with the split timeline idea. What might have been an accept it or tear your hair out situation I think is resolved. Keep reading,.
- In the original Avengers at the end of movie, Loki is taken to Asguard by Thor and imprisoned and the Tesseract is stored away there.
- In Endgame, in an attempt to grab the Tesseract, Loki ends up escaping with it and ends up in the desert. This is Loki in a branching timeline, where the Loki series takes place.
- The solution for the Avengers in Endgame (the original timeline) is to go farther back in time to 1970 and grab the Tesseract there.
- Since the last Loki episode has yet to drop, we don’t know if he stays in a seperate timeline or is somehow put back in our timeline because here, he is dead,
I can watch and enjoy Endgame, but never did accept it, because what Marvel/Disney does is cause so many branching timelines, they are all somewhere other than the timeline the audience exists in. Why? Because we watched Loki die, that is where we exist. By virtue of splitting off a time line by going back in time and changing anything, a new timeline/parallel universe is created. The person who does this has no way of returning to the original timeline unless…keep reading.
And the thing is that parallel time lines that split from one another would at that point forward, diverge significantly from each other, some events, the existence of people would be drastically changed, and you might not even recognize the split timeline.
So in End Game multiple teams go back to fetch infinity stones, each team created and now each exist in a split timelines from one another, and from the original timeline.In all of those timelines, Infinity War could not of happened because each team removed an Infinity Stone and created a new separate timeline where they hold a couple of stones and each team would be located in a separate timelines. As I said sometime before, don’t question just accept, kind of like hanging out at MacRumors.
For reference, a single timeline is a problem. When you go back in time, just your presence and everything you interact with, changes the furture you hope to return to. We saw this phenomena in Back To The Future. I’ll stop there and not bore you with loop, chicken or the egg paradoxes.
This is why Disney the Master tricksterhad to go with multiple timelines. And for story telling purposes you need either magic or technology that can not only send you through time, but to maintain a link to our timeline, technology that can jump from timeline to timeline. Disney presents the TVA.
This will be the way to bring the Loki who escaped with the Tesseract in End Game back into our timeline resurrecting him by the creation of “Time Keepers“ who manage multiple, parallel time lines, and can jump to any time line they desire with one of their time gadgets. That is the answer and my guess is this is how we will see Loki we know will rise once again in our Universe.

When you mention an alligator you’re getting into spoilers, but short version is different timelines does not equal parallel universe.T1
Avengers capture Loki
Thanos plotline continues
Loki killed by Thanos
Alternate timeline split / variance:
T1
Avengers capture Loki
Avengers travel back creating:
T2
Where Loki escapes
Different Loki, as in, another Loki, and while very close to the one we know from T1, every instance is technically a different Loki, even if they're not an alligator ...
When you mention an alligator you’re getting into spoilers, but short version is different timelines does not equal parallel universe.
I think.
That’s an assumption, I’d have to research, but in my mind when you break off a timeline into a seperate temporal space and the original time line continues to exist, it would serve an alternate reality/parallel universe. Thoughts?Your comment at the top, about parallel universes and different timelines being equivalent. I don’t think that’s quite right.
Are you caught up on episodes? Because the next thing I have to say contains spoilers.
It’s complicated and kind of how you view it.T1
Avengers capture Loki
Thanos plotline continues
Loki killed by Thanos

T2

So arguably it’s a second Loki, but his origin and characteristics are identical to the Loki we know.
