In this video, we're going to discuss the Loki finale and how it changed the MCU forever!
If you're a Marvel fan and haven't watched the Loki finale yet, then you're definitely missing out. The finale is packed full of action and suspense, and it'll change the way you see the character of Loki forever. So go watch it now and see what we mean! - Фільми й анімація
Funny little tidbit that you may not have noticed. Loki is a frost giant, and as such cannot feel cold. When he puts the blanket on it’s exclusively so that he can put the moves on sylvie. Super fun show
Whose to say Sylvie isn't a frost giant🧐? I honestly don't know if they clarified that.
@@trace8789 ... if she was feeling cold, she isn't a frost giant. Was she faking? Unlikely. It wouldn't have served any purpose there, and there didn't seem to be any ulterior motive.
@@robertreichle1 the purpose for faking cold is she does love loki they are both just to prideful to admit it. That's why she says it's preposterous, then snuggles any.
@@trace8789 I thought they did on the train when loki said "they told you?"
@@cuttler3693 Yep, femloki is a frost giant.
I recently read a book that I think described this version of Loki really well. Now I don't have the quote word for word but it essentially read, "Loki wasn't always the god of lies. Mischief and chaos, sure. But the lies came later. The lies were what he used to build walls around himself and protect himself from the pain of always being hurt."
Color me intrigued, i've always been fascinated with the mythology of both Thor and Loki, but i've never tried to imagine Loki's origin story. Personally I do think for some characters it's truly important to know their journey from the begining to fully understand them at their core. At least when you are as deep a creature as he is.
The scene with old man Loki was so badass. He who ran from himself his entier life finally found his purpose in life and brought fourth his "GLORIUS PURPOSE" with a mixed version of ride of the valkyries and the Loki theme together. In that moment, he displayed the most powerful version of himself we've seen on screen LITERALLY conjuring a scaled replica of Asgard
Richard E Grant is just fantastic. 😊
Damn that "glorious purpose" scene still gives me chills.
I love that they didn't show B-15's memory. Wunmi Mosaku manages to create so much emotion in the dark, in the rain, with her eyes squeezed shut, and without words. It's a brilliant piece of acting.
love you
amazing acting, give her an oscar nobel prize
Yes this is why it was better without seeing the memory let the actors act, she did a fantastic job!
If you're wondering what her nexus event was as a kid, she wanted to be a hero. She's playing with those action figures as if they were good guys , so of course they had to Prune her because they can't have a hero loki on the sacred timeline... Pretty brutal to do.. You can imagine how many people they've gotten rid of
She also wanted to help the guy in the lobby when she first arrived.
Also, it was a Valkyrie. Can you imagine Sylvie as a Valkyrie? Of course that was a dangerous timeline. Then there's the thought that she was only taken so that she would become who she became, meet Loki and end up at the end of time. Dude designed the timeline that he thought was best, so if he wanted that end result, he got it.
Yup you can't have a happy, well adjusted, unabused Loki on the sacred time-line
Oh no! I'd wondered but hadn't put it together ☹ how much extra sad for Sylvie. Thank you for pointing that out!
plus her existence itself also a nexus event. shes the one that meant to kill He Who Remains
To put it into perspective, before this show, there was only one timeline happening in an infinite loop and all at once. Anytime that timeline was not following the main story, it got pruned. So pretty much there was no multiverse before Loki and now there is.
Very similar to the Netflix series ‘Dark’ come to think of it!
Brutal fact: "He who remains" is known as Inmortus in the comics and he is the most benevolent versión of Kang in the whole multiverse. That's give you a very clear idea of how psycopath Kang "The Conqueror" could be
he is not a psychopath, he is just a villain with big goals. The biggest, best and most cruel conqueror ever, but he is respectful, has honor. Or you call thanos, zod and mcu malekith a psychopath?
@@herbox Yes to all three of those others also being psychopaths. The definition is people "characterized by persistent antisocial behavior, impaired empathy and remorse, and bold, disinhibited, and egotistical traits". Thanos comes closest to "remorse" and still believes what he did was worth it and doesn't truly regret his actions. Empathy? None of them really exhibit any empathy. Antisocial behaviour? The "nicest" of them is a hyper-violent mass murderer who only associates with a small handful of carefully chosen other people; not exactly a social butterfly. The lot of them are out and out egomaniacs. That checks all the boxes.
That's not true at all
He who remains is actually mobius m mobius in the comic books.
Alternatively all of the tva agents in the comics are all variants of Mobius
Immortus is an alternate version of Kang the conquerer, and the version from this show is a scientist from the 31st century who discovered the multiverse
Extended context: In the first episode, Mobius didn't remember leaving rings on Rennslayer's table. It's because he didn't leave them. An earlier variant of his left them. Rennslayer has known at least since she became a judge. She's had to replace Mobius multiple times, probably.
This was also my favorite show and I'm so stoked for season 2. Mobius doesn't know who Loki is at the end because when Loki went back to the TVA he went into an alternate timeline version where he never met Mobius.
it's so good!
Spoilers below
Season 2 is already turning s1 finale theories upside down
Alex needs to watch season two!
Personally, I'm glad we didn't see Hunters memory. We already saw a previous memory and it established what was really going on. So for just getting to see Hunters tears in the rain and reaction, it was super heartfelt, as our imagination was much sweeter than anything we could have actually seen. For constantly seeing character memories and flashbacks in the MCU, I applaud them for just relying on the acting for this moment.
Yes her acting in that scene was perfect
@@debbyemerson3877 They cheated with that scene. They put her in heavy rainfall, making it hard to distinguish tears from rain. They cheated. Loved the show, but it was clear it was a budget decision.
@@elderbrew6249 Ah yes, because rain is so much easier on the budget than tears.
One of the sad things about the complexity of Loki as a character is that he is always capable of being a 'good guy' but circumstances and trauma (particularly the trauma of feeling unaccepted and unloved by those close to him...namely his father that made him feel as if he wasn't good enough and clearly favored Thor. It really messed with his self perception and led to a lot of self hate or as Loki explained the bad is a trick of the weak to seem in control. It is also why his relationship with Sylvie is a metaphor for self love and acceptance. His finally openly admitting that he does wrong to give the illusion of power to make himself feel better was the catalyst for real change-- which is one of the main reasons why the fight between all the other Loki's was so annoying for him
Loki was my favorite. There's so much depth and character development for Loki and Mobius. Their actions directly influence the entire multiverse. Kang is coming.
Someone get him to react to the Ant-man trailer
Agreed. This original jerk Loki essentially speed running the timeline that 'our' Loki experienced prior to being murdered by Thanos and still arriving at pretty much the same point the former did is some great characterization.
trailer reactions blow. never watch trailers
@@CrowTRobot - That was exactly what I was thinking of commenting, I only just saw the Trailer like a day ago so, that bit wouldn't have made sense to me if I hadn't seen "Loki" so now that I have seen it, the Trailer for "Ant Man 3" had so much more "Oh Sh!t" energy
Is Kang coming in any movie or in loki s2
Man Jonathan Majors was so good in this. I can’t wait to see Kang again in the MCU
Yeah, if Johnathan Majors was amazing in this show, why can’t he be amazing in the future?
Yeah.... About that.... 😅
@@meg771 aha 😃
@@meg771 i mean the movie wasn't the best, but I think Jonathan Majors was still amazing
@@evanskufakiss7592 he's a good actor. I was just talking about the recent news. Marvel might not work with him
I honestly think her just crying in the rain looks so much more powerful. Her life would have just been a normal life, but the emotions of her knowing she lost that life, that is what breaks you.
"We're all villains here". Best line in the season. FYI Kang the Conqorer is probably hands down the most confusing character in Marvel history. But he is connected to the origins of some huge fan favorite Marvel groups. From Avengers, FF, X-Men...
Essentially, the guy in the castle was He Who Remains. a genius madman who was the sole survivor a multiversal war against himself. He won, built the TVA to create and protect one timeline, but has grown bored. So he let Loki and Slyvie choose to take over, or kill him, and let the multiverse return, including all his variants. Mild spoilers, the actor who plays He Who Remains was announced to be in Ant Man 3 a few months BEFORE Loki was put out on Disney+. So to see him show up early made a lot of people freak out. Like imagine Hugh Jackman Wolverine showing up in Infinity War, unannounced.
Not to create and protect one timeline
We wrote the multiple timelines in a way where they are in harmony. They all exist in a way that thread together
@@jgreen2015 No, he created one timeline and protected it. That's what the TVA does, it protects the timeline. If unprotected the timeline would branch out causing a multiverse again which would cause more Kang variants causing another war.
@@rebel8215 no. There is one sacred timeline which applies to every universe. The other universes exist too. The sacred timeline prevents them from coming into conflict.
Look at the sacred timeline. It is not one line. It is many lines interweaving and going the same direction. When a branch happens one of those threads becomes unta goes and deviates from the rest
@@rebel8215 "But then, the all-knowing Time-Keepers emerged, bringing peace by reorganizing the multiverse into a single timeline, the Sacred Timeline."
Reorganising THE MULTIVERSE. Not eliminating the multiverse
@@rebel8215 look. Here is the explanation by Miss Minutes
You can CLEARLY see the individual timelines being woven together and the sacred timeline being made up of individual strands intertwining with each other
ua-cam.com/video/IWfEly_Jr0g/v-deo.html
Just a little knowledge the guy you meet in the last episode is the next big bad of the mcu basically the next Thanos. You will be seeing alot more of him soon
Out of all the Marvel shows so far Loki still my favorite
Wanda gets my vote, but this is #2
@@FeelItRising Wandy maybe from episode 4 or 5... the start from Wanda was not good.
IYO
@@TheMrFilipin I get the first few episodes of Wanda isn't for everybody, but I appreciated the creativity. Also, they were needed as setup for the rest of the show. Plus I'm a big fan of old 50's/60's sitcoms from years of watching Nick at Nite so they were right up my alley.
@@TheMrFilipin No, you just didn't like them.
At the end of the episode, they didn't have their memories wiped. Sylvie sent him into a different timeline. The big revealing shot of the statue being He Who Remains instead of the timekeepers is meant to emphasise that
@13:26 Meet Loki’s variants: Classic (Richard E. Grant), Kid (Jack Veal), Boastful (DeObia Oparei), and Alligator (modeled after an alligator named Wally).
Episode 5 had my favorite funny moment of the season: the Loki smackdown. Also, it’s funny seeing our main Loki be like, “God, I’m annoying.”
He Who Remains' real name is Nathaniel Richards. He's portrayed by Jonathan Majors.
Several months before Loki Season 1 aired, they publicly announced that Jonathan would portray another variant of Nathaniel known as Kang the Conqueror in the third upcoming Ant-Man film titled Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania. It'll premiere in February.
However, that’s not the only time that we’ll see Kang. He’s gonna be the next big bad since Thanos. With that in mind, the Avengers will have to reassemble.
The fifth Avengers title which is coming May 2025 is called The Kang Dynasty. A sixth entry is also in the works for May 2026. They’re calling it Secret Wars.
As for Loki season 2, Kate Herron will not be returning to direct. She signed up to work on one season and she's already working on other projects but she left on good terms. Her only request is that the new directors have to give Mobius a jet ski.
Most if not the entire second season was directed by Justin Benson and Aaron Moorhead. They previously worked on two episodes of Moon Knight. Loki season 2 is set to premiere summer 2023.
Alex, hire this man
Donc forget the epic music. And sying this, all phase4 projects have insane music.. That train music from MsMarvel still give me goosebumps
You’re a real one 💚💛
Can't wait for "Spider man no way home" reaction
He should probably watch the other Spiderman films first XD
@@theron0622 agree its a must🤙
@@theron0622 I second that
@@theron0622 he has? I’m pretty sure
Nm I get you mean the other others
The best order would be Spider-Man 1-3, Amazing Spider-Man 1 & 2, Venom 1 & 2, No Way Home, Morbius and then back to the MCU.
So excited for you to watch Black Widow. We waited literally 10 years for this movie.
10 years just for it to be terrible
@@rebel8215 To each their own 🤷♀
@@natashasullivan4559 I really liked the intro scene showing the trafficking and all that and liked Yelena and Red Guardian. However the movie just felt worthless since we already knew she dies if that makes sense. I would've liked it a lot more if it was released before Endgame. I also don't like how they did Taskmaster personally.
@@rebel8215 I agree that they (well, they just shouldn't have killed her at all.. death isn't the only way to redemption) should have released it before end game. But that doesn't make the whole movie bad. It just means Disney are idiots who don't know what the hell they're doing.
I also wish they'd Interteined a bit more of her lore from the comics. But again, the movie was still good. Just slightly dissapointing in some small are.
Hunter B-15 is played by Wunmi Mosaku. She was in HBO’s Lovecraft Country. Fantastic actor. Jonathan Majors (He Who Remains / Kang) was also in Lovecraft Country.
I loved Lovecraft Country, Super jazzed to see Mosaku and Majors show up in more stuff.
Its actually a better film making process to not show everything. So when she is shown her happy memory, by them not showing us it allows us to fill in the gap with our own imagination. And in that way, it personalizes it for each viewer.
Agreed. I think it was the right choice not to show it
Totally agree!
Yeah, he got stuck on stupid train of thought there
I'll add that the reason they could do it this way is because Wunmi Mosaku gave a great performance.
@@willpina 🤣 yeah, okay. They had her crying in the rain because she's a shit actress they knew couldn't produce real tears. But you know, 'diversity hire'
Its funny about The Timekeepers becuase in one of the first few episodes Loki calls them "space lizards" and well.... 🤣 Also, some people didn't like Majors' portrayal of Kang and how that encounter was handled by the show. I thought it was genius and way more impactful than just another boss fight.
My only knowledge of Kang comes from Earth's Mightiest Heroes (who was an amazing villain in that show, and the reason I was so looking forward to appearance in the MCU), and I can gladly say that Major's absolutely killed it with his performance. Even though all he did was talk, I was both terrified and enthralled, and at no point did it ever feel like the situation was out of his control. I can't wait to see how differently he plays the character in Quantumania
The beauty part is that he will be portraying him a lot of ways. He is a great actor and I think each of them will be very distinct. We'll see soon! February is coming.
That's because He Who Remains isn't Kang. Kang will be much, much worse. I thought it was fitting HWR would be more light-hearted and silly rather than an imposing monster.
@@plainOldFool True. He did warn Loki and Sylvie. And his "see you soon..." was bone chilling...
@@kamikazelemming1552 I thought it leaned into the idea of someone who essentially eradicated an infinite number of himself/variants and has sat alone in a tower snuffing out entire timelines. What would that do to a person, even with He Who Remains. His weirdness when actually talking to Loki and Sylvie makes sense, at least to me.
15:13 mini thor is actually Throg. (Thor frog)
You’ll be shocked to hear about some people putting it very low on their best-of list and others even hating it. To me, it’s one of the greatest streaming shows EVER!
Seasons 3 and 4 of Agents of Shield are 24 episodes EACH of this level of content. Highly recommend it.
The moment that "He who remains" says "we've crossed a threshold," syncs up perfectly to Wanda's awakening into the Scarlet Witch in WandaVision. That's what happened that changed everything.
But isn't that mostly a speculation, it's not been confirmed yet
@@apoorvsingh4459 It is just speculation. BUT as they are outside of the timeline, anything they say and do, logically, syncs up with every single moment within the timeline. So, logically, He Who Remains saying that, not only syncs up with Wanda becoming the Scarlet Witch, but ALSO with Doctor Strange's screwed up spell in No Way Home, and really with every and any major and minor event that has ever happened, within the timeline.
So while it ISN'T officially confirmed, it is confirmed, when you look at it from the perspective of being OUTSIDE of time.
@@jcIIXVIIIVII it does tie into Doctor Strange's spell that has been confirmed it was possible only because of the branching timelines.
Can you imagine what it's like to write a story like this? Maybe the writer left a note saying while unsure about returning to write a continuation of season one, at this point you could do literally anything you want.
Fun fact: if you watch the last episode of loki and wandavision at the same time, the moment about "crossing the threshold" happens at the same time wanda becomes scarlett witch. And when he drops an apple, is when agatha touches the ground
This means nothing tho. It's been confirmed that they had no correlation.
@@rebel8215 ah, sounds really cool though
@@rebel8215 It hasn't been confirmed one way or the other. It is simply up to speculation, BUT since they are outside of the timeline, anything they say and do, logically, syncs up with every single moment within the timeline. So, logically, He Who Remains saying that, not only syncs up with Wanda becoming the Scarlet Witch, but ALSO with Doctor Strange's screwed up spell in No Way Home, and really with every and any major and minor event that has ever happened, within the timeline.

Alex... I HIGHLY recommend watching New Rockstars in your pass time or do reactions to their breakdown videos... They can explain the MCU better than the comments section can... They go into extreme depth searching in the videos and I think you'll actually become addicted to watching them and then going back and seeing the Easter eggs for yourself... And they can help you connect the unconnected dots if there's anything you don't really understand.
To explain the end for you, basically "He Who Remains" is a variant of Nathaniel Richards (Reed Richards father from the Fantastic 4). This version of him is known as Immortus but there are others such as Kang the Conqueror, Iron Lad, and Rama Tut just to name a few. Before the TVA, a bunch of Immortus' variants were engaged in a multiversal war that Immortus eventually won. He created one single timeline and created the TVA to protect it and ensure it didn't fall into chaos which is why they prune and reset the branches that weren't meant to happen. Now that he's dead and the TVA know the truth, the timeline descends back into chaos (the multiverse). When Loki was sent back to the TVA by Sylvie, Mobius' memory wasn't wiped, it was a different Mobius in a different timeline working for a different variant of Immortus as you can see by the statue.
huh, didn't know he was Reed's father
@@Orion_44 He isn't, I misremembered. Nathaniel Richards is Reed's father but he had a child with another woman and named the child Nathaniel Richards as well making Reed his half brother.
@@rebel8215 ah
@@rebel8215 Kang isn't the son of Nathaniel Richards nor the half-brother of Reed, he is a descendent of them, and possibly even of Doom also. But while he is a descendent of Reed and Nathaniel, he isn't a DIRECT descendent.
@@jcIIXVIIIVII Nathaniel Richards went to another universe and had children with a woman named Cassandra. Kang originated on that universes Earth and has the same name as Nathaniel Richards and the same blood as Reed Richards. It's not explicably said but it's extremely likely that he is Reeds half brother. I'm also pretty sure that the Kang and Doom being related theory was disproven in one of the comics as they thought they could even be the same person but it was proven false.
The ending of WandaVision with wanda transforming into the scarlet witch and he who remains not being able to see the future actually perfectly times up. It is believed that that is the nexus event that broke the sacred timeline because only wanda can create such chaos. There is a viral video of both Loki’s and WandaVisions season finale being played side by side and you can see that he who remains realises that the threshold is crossed the second wanda is done transforming. Pretty cool, right?
It's a fun idea until you factor in that the branching of the timeline in Loki happens outside of time. The void exists at the end of time, so the events of the finale don't happen until billions of years after the Wandavision finale so they can't actaully sync up in the way people suggest.
Its been said countless times by Marvel that its not the case... What happen is loki is the source of all multiversals events of the phase4, K.Feige himself said it. Wanda becoming the scarlet witch has nothing to do with this, but what she did in MoM was possible because what happend in Loki. Same for spiderman
I'm 99% certain that wasn't intended, but still really cool
@@PK-eg8yz Thats not really how it works though.
Its more like the end of time is at the edge of time. Its the reason you can see the whole time line surrounding it. It's more like a place where you can see all of time at the same time.
And therefore when Wanda completes her transformation, he notices it at the same time .
Disney said it was Loki who officially messed up the timeline
I think it was way more impactful just watching B-15's face as she made the realization that she has a life on the timeline. Her actress is amazing.
I've been waiting for the video, and it's fantastic, especially your intro....❤️
aww love you!
Season 2 of Marvel Studios' Loki, an Original series, is streaming Summer 2023 on Disney+.
15:04 a throwback to the comic books, where the Thanoscopter was a thing. Lots of people were jokingly hoping for it's appearance in Infinity War.
I'm so hyped for season 2! The first round of Marvel TV shows were spot-on exciting and fun. Looking forward to seeing your reaction to Hawkeye, which is perfect for December. Moon Knight is also fabulous.
6:54
All that really means is that Loki is attracted to people who are very much like himself, he likes a type of person similar to him. That in and of itself isn't too odd, it's just in this instance it is a variant of himself which is the opposite sex which makes it kind of self-cesty. 😅
There is a season 2, but it hasn't been released yet. I imagine we will see it after Ant-Man and the Wasp Quantumania.
31:03
That's the timelines branching into infinite possibilities. Instead of having the prime timeline, now anything is game.
Congratulations, you just defined narcissism.
Loki is a Trickster God -- but he is not evil, per se. He teaches others necessary hard lessons about life and about themselves.
He often sets himself up as the baddy, to teach others about danger and how to deal with loss, and so on.
But most of all he loves beating the hell out of real bad guys.
Even in the TVA he realizes that he can learn some things -- the whole story arc of the show is him finding out who he is, in the weirdest way, by seeing who he might have been, and learning a little more about love. In the meantime he teaches everyone in TVA some hard lessons about the "perfect" world they think they have built and is under control.
Tom Hiddleston is a classical Shakespearean actor, and so brings a lot of genuine craft to this scifi stuff that usually is not as well acted.
His way of inflection and expression to make Loki real and get the audience to feel Loki's emotions in the moment are top tier.
Even Sylvie did really well with some character growth -- Owen Wilson was just himself, as usual, that is his thing.
Omg yes!!! Been waiting for this notification 🥰😂
Woohoo! Thanks for the shoutout bud!
Tom Hiddleston is SUCH a great actor. You mentioned not having seen him in other stuff, but you're missing out! Check out *War Horse* (directed by Steven Spielberg) or *I Saw the Light* which is a biopic where he plays Hank Williams (and did his own singing!) opposite Elizabeth Olsen (Wanda) as his wife.
This show was SOOOO good, omg, and I can't wait for season 2. Personally, the thing I REALLY hope to see as it relates to Loki either in season 2 or in an upcoming Avengers movie, is that I REALLY hope that our new reformed variant Loki gets a chance to see our Thor again as a changed man. That would be SO cool if they can pull that off, omg.
I also love Owen Wilson and Tom Hiddleston together. They were in *Midnight In Paris* together in 2011 and have been friends ever since.
*_A few other things to note:_*
When Kid Loki says he became a variant when he killed Thor, that is referring to the story Thor told in Ragnarok about when he was 8 and Loki played a prank on him and then stabbed him, and nearly killed him. Well, in Kid Loki's timeline, he was successful.
_Kid Loki, seems like he'd be a kid that'd play with Wanda's two boys, doesn't he? hmmm =)_
Old Loki's outfit (Like Wanda and Vision's Halloween outfits) is his old comic outfit. Since Old Loki is old, it sorta fits, lol.
As you could probably tell, the events of Loki are probably the single biggest plot setup for phases 4-6. He Who Remains mentions that he started the whole TVA thing to end the multiversal war, where each universe was fighting each other for survival, and that if Sylvie killed him, *it would happen all over again.* Well, that's EXACTLY the setup for phases 4-6, called "The Multiverse Saga".
He Who Remains mentions he has many names, including "A Conqueror", well that's a reference to the fact that another version of him is Kang the Conqueror, who will be introduced as the main villain in Ant Man 3 coming out in February. But more importantly, they have announced evengers 5 and 6. Avengers 5 comes out in 2025 and is called *Avengers: The Kang Dynasty* and Avengers 6 comes out in 2026 and is called *Avengers: Secret Wars*. (which, in the comics was the multiversal war) So all of the variants of Kang/He Who Remains are going to be the collective "Thanos 2.0" big-bad that we're working up towards. And it's heavily implied that Loki and Sylvie and Mobius are going to be important parts of that story as it unfolds.
There are tons of rumors flying around of course, but if they are doing a big multiversal war, it'd be at least an opportunity for variants of Steve and Tony or whomever else to make their way back over to our "main timeline". Kevin Feige is really interested in trying to unite all of the Marvel characters that were previously disconncted like the X-Men and the Fantastic Four and Blade, etc., with the main MCU, and we know they are working on Deadpool 3 bringing him over along with Wolverine.
It's gonna get wild! You need to start selling some *Goochgard™* spray on product of some sort, lol.
Cheers
Nathaniel Richards (He Who Remains/Kang) is essentially MCU Bruce Wayne. Brilliant, capable of seemingly anything, but the evil variants of him from other Universes are beyond terrifying.
good point!
I suggest that after every Marvel movie as well as every tv show you watch a New Rockstars breakdown, they do a great job at finding easter eggs you couldn't and thdley help you understand the situation more.
I love that you love this show as much as I do. You have the best reactions, you're awesome man!
thank you so much Landon!
Wanda had to learn to let go of her grief. Silvie had to learn to let go of her anger. But she couldn't. And that makes her story even more tragic than Wanda's.
Actually, Wanda didn't let go of her grief, either.
@@STNeish by now, she did but not necessarily in the show
@@STNeish because of a certain book
Meanwhile Thor who lost everyone cracking jokes
@@maxTheTimeSlasher which also isn't the best way to handle this
Said it in one of your previous reactions that I couldn't wait for you to react to this. By far my most favorite MCU show out there and this opens up INFINITE things for the Marvel future.
its so good!
glorious purpose!
Ah yes the classic reaction video. The characters explain in detail what's happening with long monologs while someone watches and just yell "I don't understand" over and over
Pretty much!! lol
Plus arguing with the characters and trying to be funny with random comments that are not funny at all
Then got off the channel. I think he’s very entertaining.
@@talondiwisch5206 I do too, but him talking WHILE watching, which caused him to miss important information as to what is going on and why was getting on my nerves. If he would just pay attention and save the reaction for after the video, or pause it before he reacts or makes jokes, like most others do, then he wouldn't be so lost and confused.
There was literally no reason for him NOT to have understood what was going on and why. They explain it fairly clearly, but he kept talking over the scenes. You can't deny that was getting annoying.
lol pretty muchhhh
So, to explain the ending, (I could be wrong) The big line that was branching off is the universe, creating different possibilities of what's to come. Like in one of those branches, Sylvie killed Loki and that's gonna be that universe, without Loki and probably without He Who Remains. The timeline was branching off and becoming a true multiverse. Now this is the part where I could be wrong in, Sylvie pushed Loki into a different universe, since there were so many branches she meant to send him back to the TVA but it was a completely different universe where (I'm assuming) they knew about He who remains and there were no time keepers. Loki season 2 I think is gonna be out early-mid summer next year
That intro earned yourself a like straight up my friend
thank you Ben!
Minute 15:13 "the FROG THOR". Or "Mighty Throg" . 😂
I love that in the most “Loki” way possible, falling in love with himself he screwed the entire multiverse. Also… him and Sylvie…
I ship it
its so good
It can get confusing but you just met 1 of hundreds of versions of a very dangerous villain. He will be back very soon. He is Kang... Super interesting
23:22 THAT DAMNED CURSED CLOCK!!!
Thank you for allowing me to enjoy this show again. We all shared your exact sentiment of this show as well!
you know, theres a lot of people who hated the Loki and Sylvie relationship. Glad to see at least one other person likes them too
I tend to go more with actor chemistry than the “selfcest” crap people go on about. Also, apparently Loki in the mythology had sex with a horse…so tbh after hearing that, I was fine with the whole Loki/Sylvie thing lol
@@jessicamagri8211
Yeah it's entirely on-the-nose writing for him. I also SUPER APPRECIATED that they easter-egged in some actual symbolism and source material from norse mythos of Loki, like the Syf hair-cutting thing. Lol
@@jessicamagri8211 lmao yeah and gave birth to an eight legged horse named Sleipnr or something like that along with the world serpent and a giant wolf
@@jessicamagri8211 Yea it's like Loki is homosexual, assexual, pansexual, and transexual all at the same time in an odd way.
You should start Hawkeye sooner so it can release around Christmas time! (It's a Christmas show! :D)
I’ve waited so looong 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
Great reaction video, I feel like you missed a lot of details this time though and was very lost 🤭 still great to watch 💛
thank you Daniah!
@@alexhefnerstvmovievault love your channel Alex 🤗💛
28:21 It's a small but major detail.
This scene feels very long and stretch but there is a reason:
If you line up this scene with Wanda's transformation to the Scarlet Witch in WandaVisions, the timing would fit perfectly.
You can hear a thunder sound during Wanda' transformation which can also heard in Kang / He who remain's speech.
When Wanda finished her transformation, Kang noticed it and said: "We just crossed the threshold".
Also Kang doesn't randomly drop something. He timed the fall of Agatha, when she lost all her power.
If you loved this show so much, can't wait till you get to Moon Knight.
Yes. MK is probably my favourite out of all. Also What if is gonna be crazy for him too
Why? MK was so neutered and the ending blew. Loki was way better.
Moon Knight was almost at Loki levels for me until the final battle. But it’s my second/third favorite D+ show because of Oscar Issac’s acting.
@@jessicamagri8211 Isaac was great in the role, but the overall pacing of the show was not good, the supporting characters and the villain were weak, tho the post credits scene did some nice setup.
so excited!
Ripping these out, thank you 👊 Loki is my 2nd fave MCU series I think
Been waiting for this one 🤘
I love this show.
Before you watch No Way Home, you should watch the Tobey Maguire movies and Andrew Garfield movies and build up the hype for No Way Home. Can't wait for you to witness how awesome that movie is!
Yes! This is true
he said in a video he would be watching those 5 first.
good picks!
There’s a crazy video out there that shows from Wandavision lined up with Loki at the final scene when “they cross a threshold” the music style and timing line up to when she becomes the Scarlet Witch. It could be random but with Marvel you never know just how deep their Easter eggs can go.
thats pretty cool!
Season 2 Streaming now. Hard to wait for every friday. :D
Couldn’t disagree more about showing Hunter B15’s memories. The scene isn’t about what the memories are - it’s about how we feel about our memories. Letting the actress do her thing made it more impactful.
Yes! That was the perfect choice 🤌🏽 she killed it
I'm not sure but a think the next is balck widow And then, then hawkeye commooooooooooooon
awesome edit at 9.28 .....great job Alex 👌👌👌👌
love you Aabid!
I love that! Adding Loki to my list thanks! 😄
Also, what camera are you using?? the quality is incredible!
Yo alex, before you watch now way home. You gotta make sure you’ve watched all the original spiderman films with Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield. Aight have a good one!
he said in a video he was going to watch those first.
lots of stuff!
It’s because of this show that the mcu is heading in the direction it’s going now
U mean trash, it is but this show was the best out of all of them
Lol regardless this show hit tho, no cap
@@nickcoy2103 I mean the multiverse stuff hasn’t been in the trash stuff. So far really only spider man and doctor strange.
good or bad?
I forgot just how good the music is for this series!
I have some extended synthwave covers of the themes from this on a playlist. Lol
If you sync up WandaVision and Loki, Kang says they cross the threshold just as Wanda becomes the Scarlet Witch
that's crazy!
watch andrew and toby's spiderman before watching no way home
I’m pretty sure he has seen the Sam Raimi Spider-Man Trilogy, but definitely he needs to watch the two Amazing Spider-Man Movies.
he said in a video he was going to watch those first.
Imagine if Alex was actually funny
Loki has alot more powers than he even knows or we new about..He is stronger than we thought.
Hey Alex, I loved the notes you put on the video to show us that you got certain references, that's a cool way of interacting with our thoughts, lol
And hell yea!! Loki best D+ show !
it is ty!
The “weird” guy in the last episode is the “pure of heart” variant of Kang the Conqueror. He’ll essentially be the next Thanos of the MCU...
Kang is set to make his official debut in Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania, that comes out in February next year.
I'm so glad they gave us the thanos-copter i really hope before the end of the multiverse saga that we will see thanos flying in it
Its the multiverse theory, Every choice makes another universe where the opposite happens, like if you flip a coin in one universe it will be heads the other will be tails. So Kang was trimming all the multiverses keeping it a Universe up until that moment, so that there wouldnt be any variants of himself.
In episode 5 where you see thousands hammer in the ground just underneath to the right is throg in a jar trying to jump to the hammer
Love the content dude.
and i love you!
The little Loki who wears the green and yellow costume is how Marvel drew him in the comics.
The guy they meet at the end is Kang the Conqueror. The next Avengers villain.
Great reaction as always 🙂🤙🤙🤙
love you Francisco!
Need to get on to season 2 . It was epic
That old guy Loki is one of the finest actors. Richard E. grant! He is in one of my favorite ever movies. “How to get ahead in Advertising”. Severely underrated film. Highly recommend.
good suggestion!
@@alexhefnerstvmovievault If you do watch it, just know, it’s gonna be weird. 🤪
This series, especially episode 6, tees up phases 4, 5, and 6 of the MCU. That band of light around the castle was the "sacred timeline," and it was shredded when Sylvie killed "He Who Remains." And the are now filming season 2.
"We just crossed the threshold"
The moment he stopped being an unstoppable God and became a mortal, allowing sylvie and loki to choose his fate.
You got to see the videos linking when he drops that thing on desk. And wanda breaking multiverse and dr strange breaking the same . Its cool as fuck
it is!
"He Who Remains" is one of my favorite MCU characters :)
I don't watch trailers and stuff, so I was utterly shocked seeing that Actor in a fun role like this.
Btw watch "Lovecraft Country", he and B15s actress are both in it.
Your Wizard of Oz 'man behind the curtain' comment was more true than you knew :)
love you Bosley!
Filming began in June 2022 at Pinewood Studios and concluded in October. The second season is scheduled to debut on Disney+ in mid-2023, and will consist of six episodes.
I am so looking forward to season2-reaction!
Owen Wilson was driving the Pizza Planet car from Toy Story XD
👍
Now watch the antman quantumania trailer. When it was announced that Jonathan Majors would be Kang the conqueror, we comic fans were excited as FUCK. He will be the "next Thanos" and this show was able to give us a thousand little hints that he was behind all of this. AND IT WAS WORTH IT, we just never thought we were going to get THE mofo Jonathan Majors himself. The thing is that the show did it perfectly, it showed us how much of a threat he is but without giving us Kang himself, but a variant. He who remains IS the nice one, he wasn't lying about that, Kang? oooofffff... i am AFRAID.
The scene where “He who remains” says they’ve passed a threshold is apparently meant to be happening as Wanda is sucking the power out of Agatha at the end of WandaVision
It’s that moment, but it’s mainly because that’s when she accepts her power and fully becomes the scarlet witch. Not necessarily when she’s taking her powers back from Agatha. It’s mostly her becoming the scarlet witch.
And so it begins
