Emme... Sylvie's Nexus event. Remember back in Ragnarok when Thor talks to Valyrie and says that he would play with his Valkyrie toys and dream of being a Valkyrie. Sylvie was doing the same thing. In that moment playing with her valkyrie toys, Sylvie decided that she wanted to be a hero. But the TVA could not allow that because Loki has to be the villain that brings the Avengers together. No one has free will under the TVA. Not the TVA agents and not even children playing their toys. The Sacred Timeline must be preserved above all things. EDIT: And yes, the two Loki's fell in love with each other (as much as a Loki can) and that is what caused the massive nexus event on an apocalypse planet.
what did it matter to the sacred time line if they fall in love if they die a minute later? the only thing that would have an effect is if they weren't intended to die. it's part of the sacred time line that they find their way to he who remains.
@@youtubesucks494That's not correct. As variants, they are no longer part of the sacred timeline. Their timelines were reset and the Loki's in their timelines continued on as part of the sacred timeline. The two of them exist outside of the sacred timeline.
This is a fantastic episode. The scene of young Sylvie playing with her toys in Asgard is a subtle yet meaningful nod to the events of "Thor: Ragnarok." The inclusion of the Valkyrie figurine, particularly, suggests a potential alternate timeline where the Valkyries survived Hela's attack and continued to serve as Asgard's protectors. This subtle reference adds depth to the character of Sylvie and suggests that her timeline may have diverged from the main MCU timeline in significant ways. The survival of the Valkyries in Sylvie's reality could have had a profound impact on Asgard's history and Loki's own experiences, potentially altering the path that led him to become the mischievous trickster we know and love. The line about Lokis "losing spectacularly" is a humorous yet poignant acknowledgment of Loki's tendency to fall short of his goals and suffer defeats at the hands of others. The specific losses mentioned by Sylvie - his clashes with Thor, the Avengers, and Thanos - represent some of Loki's most significant and public failures. These defeats underscore Loki's inability to achieve his desired outcomes and highlight his vulnerability and reliance on deception and manipulation. Lady Sif's appearance in "Loki" Episode 4 was indeed a welcome surprise and a significant moment for the series. Jaimie Alexander's return to the role was well-received by fans, and her presence added depth and complexity to the narrative. The return of Lady Sif also enhances the overall narrative of "Loki" by expanding the scope of the story and introducing new elements of conflict and intrigue. Her connection to Asgard and her knowledge of Loki's past provides valuable insights into the character's motivations and the events that have shaped him. The reference to "B-15 Crying in the Rain" is most likely a reference to the Blade Runner scene where Deckard chases Pris through the rain and eventually corners her in a deserted building. Pris begs for her life, but Deckard is ultimately forced to kill her. Mobius's suggestion that Loki and Sylvie might be working together strikes a nerve with the God of Mischief, as he fiercely prides himself on his independence and ability to operate without the need for allies. Mobius's pointed remark about Loki's history of betraying those he collaborates with further highlights this character trait. Loki's past collaboration with Thanos, while seemingly contradictory to his current character development, serves to highlight his complex motivations and the transformative power of experiences. His insistence that the partnership was a strategic move rather than an act of loyalty suggests that he was always playing his own game, and his reluctance to be seen as a sidekick in his relationship with Sylvie further underscores his desire for independence. As Loki's journey unfolds, it will be intriguing to see whether he can reconcile his past actions with his evolving character and embrace the possibility of genuine collaboration. The thematic parallels between "Loki" and "The Wizard of Oz" have been evident since the first episode, and they continue to be subtly woven into the narrative. The Time-Keepers, in particular, have been likened to the unseen and enigmatic Wizard of Oz, who wields immense power and influence over the inhabitants of Oz.This visual homage serves as a powerful reminder of the shared themes and character archetypes that run through both narratives. Just as Dorothy seeks guidance and freedom from the Wizard, Loki and Sylvie yearn to break free from the constraints imposed by the Time-Keepers.
Loki cutting off Sifs hair is actually from Norse mythology, Thor was about to k/ll Loki but Loki had a headpiece of gold made which saves him. Sif is blond in Norse mythology.
In Norse myth, Loki did cut off Sif's renowned golden hair, he shaved her bald as a prank. Thor, being her husband, was not well pleased, and Loki was charged to make up for it to keep Thor from beating him to a pulp, so he commissioned the Dwarves to craft a wig of spun gold.
10:05 That was a very interesting theory. But if everyone in the TVA were to believe the lie that they were created it wouldnt be wise to leave any records of their lives before.
In the first scene it is assumed that Loki never played that game where he is or she is a hero and this indicates that in that timeline Silvi would be a hero instead of a villain and that kind of future cannot happen
@@w1ndblade810 don't know what movie you mean. the end to Loki 2 doesn't confirm the true future. If you mean an end credit scene in the one movie, I don't see that as a spoiler. anyways, the overall patreon fans can decide if she should do season 2 asap or wait.
Another great reaction video. The Time-Keepers looked like the cheap animatronics at Chucky Cheese. Mobius and Loki got pruned. Whoa! Can’t comment much without spoilers. I’m looking forward to watching you enjoy the rest of the episodes. Season 1 was the best Marvel Studios series production until Season 2 came out which is even better.
Hey, Emme! Wow! Wow! Wow! What a difference a week makes! Best episode yet! Ravonna was the Minuteman who grabbed Sylvie from Asgard! Sylvie's been running her whole life when not taking a breather in disaster zones! C-20 suffered brain damage and died after one too many margaritas? Hmmm.... Apparently the 'All hands on deck' alert did the trick. The out-of-control branching caused by Sylvie's mass-bombing has been completely pruned! What caused the Nexus on Lamentis? A Loki team-up? Hopeful Lokis? Lokis in love? A merging of anima and animus? It certainly got someone's attention because the TVA rescues them rather than let the planetary collision clean up the mess. The first mention of vampires in the MCU! Blade, anyone? The return of Lady Sif! In Norse myth, Loki shaved her bald! Lol. The delectable Jaimie Alexander's unremarked departure from the MCU was criminal and I hope this heralds her survival of Ragnarok. "Blindspot" is over and I want a Thor reunion in "Love and Thunder"! Mobius detects a love connection. Loki, in the ultimate act of narcissism, has fallen in love with himself! The scales are falling and the web of lies are unravelling: first, B-15, then Mobius!

Grant -- Kid Loki -- 'Gator Loki -- Black Mjolnir-wielding Loki It's the Loki-verse!
what probably caused the Nexus is one or both of them got desperate and created an explosion that affected a nearby planet, changing the timeline. But the TVA stopped it
REACT SUGGESTION: Having finished season 2, I would honestly, strongly suggest that you just go straight into season 2 of Loki. One can watch both seasons back-to-back if reacting for the first time. It doesn’t “hurt” anything. “Loki” is unique. With this being the MCU’s first show to release a season 2, I now see that it should all be watched as “one thing” before moving to the next project. I say this as an MCU fan, who believes in watching it in release order. This is an exception!
Tet-to-Tet is a term that came out of The Vietnam War. It refers to the North Vietnamese executing attacks on the TET holiday when they said they wouldn’t. This became a normal occurrence and so it spawned the term Tet-to-Tet as a way to describe any sort of dispute between people that reoccurring.
I'm not sure if this is a joke flying way over my head, but tete-a-tete is just french for "head to head", and is used as a noun to describe a one-on-one conversation.
Your straight-faced delivery of "Two Lokis make a right, right?" was perfect. 🤣

@@youtubesucks494 Them falling in love is what brings the TVA. It notifies them and then leads them down the road to He Who Remains.
@@fortunatus1 no, them about to die is what brings the tva. them dying would be a diversion from the sacred time line

@@fortunatus1 then that means that their experiment in Pompeii would have been useless if Loki is unable to effect the sacred timeline...
Watching this after having seen the whole second season hits differently.
"You are alone and you always will be". I think I need to watch every again because... yeah, it hits different
Missed post credit scene again
i just finished season 2 and seeing season 1 through fresh eyes makes WAY more sense now. Another great reaction, Emme.
You missed an end-credit scene 😕
I missed it too my first watch through.
I didnt know there was one so i watched it at the beginning of next reaction :)
@@emmealways check with marvel 😆
I’m watching this reaction after the finale of season 2 …
@@NPA1001 Insane, right?
The transition of shadows and light as Mobius initially considered the secret Loki told him was magical film making.
Emme (watching the weirdest show in the MCU) "Something weird is gonna happen!"
Sylvie's crime against time? She wanted to be a Valkyrie a good guy.
This was peak Loki at the time. It's still really good.
you missed the after credits scene
Another great reaction. Forgot about the post credits scene. Mind. Blown.
The marvel rule is "always skim the credits", as there may be mid credits, end credits... sometimes both.
you missed the after credits scene :)
Normally who cares but this one post credit scene is 100% necessary
Depends on what kind of ending you want. Skip it, and you get a tragic ending.
Nah they show a quick version of the scene for Episode 5 (if she doesn't skip the recap)
not 100% necessary unless you are just going to stop at this episode. It will carry over the next episode.
You know, Emme. Two Loki's do make a right. 🤩
Stretch your legs, hydrate, and don't get arrested is what my coach would say every time we left practice.

Thor and Sif went to the dwarves who spun black hair for Sif. Stories vary with the details.
Lol the most aggressive “YES!” I’ve ever seen!

I love how wild this series is, it has some Doctor Who vibes with the music and cinematography

The episodes get crazier all the way through to the episode 6 of season 2
You should watch season 2 right after this as it starts right where it leaves off. One big story.
Stay hydrated, stretch your legs, and please don't get pruned ✨
Loki Season 2 is safe to watch (meaning, it won't spoil any movie), since you like watching multiple shows at once!
It will very slightly spoil one movie, if you are very intelligent and have a little bit of information

Season 2 just finished and it's so good. Just like the character in this season 1 said "This is wild"
In the original Norse mythology, Sif is Thor's wife, who had golden hair. When Loki cut her hair, it caused it to become brunette.
Please tell me you watched the after credits emme... please. It's the best one in the MCU.
Another great reaction video. The Time-Keepers looked like the cheap animatronics at Chucky Cheese. Mobius and Loki got pruned. Whoa!

Enjoyable reaction as usual, of course, but yeah.... as has already been said, you kinda missed an important part at the end :)
Hi Emme!😊 Be sure to watch the end credit scene for yourself.😉

Sylvie's been running her whole life when not taking a breather in disaster zones!
C-20 suffered brain damage and died after one too many margaritas? Hmmm....
Apparently the 'All hands on deck' alert did the trick. The out-of-control branching caused by Sylvie's mass-bombing has been completely pruned!
What caused the Nexus on Lamentis? A Loki team-up? Hopeful Lokis? Lokis in love? A merging of anima and animus?
It certainly got someone's attention because the TVA rescues them rather than let the planetary collision clean up the mess.
The first mention of vampires in the MCU! Blade, anyone?
The return of Lady Sif!
In Norse myth, Loki shaved her bald! Lol.
The delectable Jaimie Alexander's unremarked departure from the MCU was criminal and I hope this heralds her survival of Ragnarok.
"Blindspot" is over and I want a Thor reunion in "Love and Thunder"!

It's Marvel!! You HAVE to check if a post-credit scene exists!
Emme: Are they truly in love with each other?
Loki is a narcissist. So the only person he could truly fall in love with is another version of himself.
0:47 this aged well
Did you miss the post-credit scene, Em ??? It's quite a wild post-credit scene, would love your reaction on that......
Yes it definitely was a romantic connection as that's what caused the Nexus event.
You're not bothering with post-credits scenes? Especially a post-credits scene that's one of the best moments of the series?
💯
Pruned!
The fact that he lets Sif abuse him repeatedly is stupid!
