I'm so upset that they rushed and fumbled Wanda's arc with MoM, both her and Loki have been my favorites for the newer content at least. I'm very satisfied with this ending!
its crazy in the last episode loki was saying he just wants is friends and doesn't want to be alone, only for him to make the ultimate sacrifice being all alone at the end of time so everyone else can live.
Thor said “you will always be the God of Mischief, but you could be so much more”. And now he is the God of Time. But none of Loki’s friends or family in Asgard will ever know. We’ve watched Loki develop from the man claiming to be ‘burdened with glorious purpose’, into a man forced to accept the terrible burden of his glorious purpose.
Not sure the events in this are a direct parallel of what happened in the comics. (There is the whole debate about whether the MCU should be called 616, which is the comics universe. The MCU events are different so it should have a different number .)
@@afrancis1582the girl from miss marvel says it should be Earth 19-9999 in an interview and even Miguel from Across the spiderverse calls it that instead of 616
As soon as Loki said he knew what kind of god he wanted to be, I knew exactly what they were doing. He is now the God of Stories. Finally, Loki is a king, but for the right reasons.
I've seen a few fanboys complain that he's something different, simply because apparently the God of Stories is...quite unrelated to what we've gotten here. But, after looking up that plot in the comics, I'm much happier with this. That whole God of Stories thing in the comics is just...really really stupid. This is a much more interesting, and much more coherent plot. And in the end, it's way more epic. I definitely prefer this, by far.
@@DoremiFasolatido1979One guy I watch said that Loki is probably supposed to be someone called "the custodian" (probably misremembering his name) who's sole purpose is to make sure that a multiverse doesn't die before it's actual time or something.
I read a comment somewhere that said something very valuable: loki was presented with the trolly problem and he found that the solution was destroying the trolly itself. Such a loki think to do.
Spending centuries to learn for naught, giving up your desires, leaving behind your friends - all for putting what can be called a stopgap at best in place that relies on you weaving the strands of Time for the entire (!) Multiverse for all of eternity. And you willingly going through of all of that to benefit every being who ever lived. What a character arc. Tom Hiddleston's finest hour!
You may be badass... But you will never be "Loki physically yanking an infinity of timelines into the shape of Yggdrasil to save the multiverse" badass.
It definitely felt doctor who at the start. Especially when they started with the Beethoven just like the bootstrap paradox in 12’s episode. There were a number of nods to doctor who in this season Loki made the hard choice to love. Love for his friends without benefit to himself. A god who sacrificed himself for love of his friends. Wonderful. And Loki used his free will to do it. Defeated kang with love, not a sword.
Note, Loki doesn't grab *all* the timelines. He grabs one at the start, lets it go, and leaves it. He's reading them with Sylvie's enchantment magic, and keeping the ones that aren't dangerous. That's the compromise. The multiverse can exist, but someone has to watch over the possibilities and govern which are allowed.
Wowsers! An amazing dress for an amazing finale Jess! When Mobius says they handled it in 616... oooh, the certainly did! That transformation as he walked towards the throne was amazing! I thought it was killing him but then I saw the cape and realised he was changing into the god he had to be, the king of all time! This was a magnificent show and Loki's arc astounding!
I paused my screen to look at the second edition of the manual and I am pretty sure it said it was written by Oroborus and Victor Timely. I thought that was a nice tribute. What you said about Loki choosing choice Q instead of A or B just reminded me of Q from Star Trek, who was the Loki of that universe. I just couldn’t stop my tears when Loki started walking outside. At first I wasn’t sure what kind of sacrifice he was going to make but I knew it was something. When he started weaving a new loom around himself and made it into Yggdrasil I found it so sad and moving that he was going to be all alone when he had just realized how much he wanted to have his friends around. 😭 I love Loki and I think they created a great character arc for him.
Fantastic finale to the show. Loki got his glorious purpose and the throne he was looking for, just not in the way he thought and he did it for others instead of himself. Also love your choice of dress for the finale perfect.
About a week ago for the first time it occurred to me that Loki's name is similar to 'loci' in mathematics, the set of points that satisfies a particular condition. Now he really has become a locus at the heart of everything. (Also just learned that in the non-Marvel mythology, Loki is considered the cause of knots, loops and tangles, and is sometimes thought of as a knot or tangle in his own right. So this finale is a very clever way to pay some respect to the actual mythological Loki.)
Boy did they wrap this up in a fantastic way! Loki's got both glory and purpose for enternity..A much better life than always trying to overthrow Odin and rule Asgard all the time.(Note the satisfied smile at the end? )Looking so classy/ beautiful in that dress, sweetie and loved your reactions!
I love that Tom Huddleston was the one who wrote his final line and that he used a part of his line from end of the 1st Thor movie. "For you, for all of us". The 1st movie's line is from a character filled with so much sadness, shame, anger and needing of others recognition and love. The last one is filled with warmth, love and a duty and purpose devoid of recognition (besides from those that meant the world to him). It is the perfect way to encapsulate one of the best character arcs in the MCU right up there with Tony Stark.
16:37 this whole show feels like it’s inspired by Doctor who, such as sylvie stealing a tempad and running away from the TVA in s1 and the coat that Loki had for most of the show. Part of why I love it so much, I hope maybe Tom hiddleston can play the Doctor one day (or maybe the master, he fits both roles tbh and this show just proved it). With the big guest stars coming in doctor who’s next season I’d say it’s definitely a possibility. In a sense I kinda feel like this finale was Loki’s “Heaven sent” and “hell bent”. “Heaven Sent” in the sense that Loki spent centuries trying to save everyone and failing over and over again (similar to the Doctor breaking the wall) and “hell bent” in the sense that a sacrifice had to be made ultimately for everyone to be safe (similar to how the doctor’s memories of Clara had to be sacrificed). What a finale… the more I think about it and Loki’s sacrifice the more emotional I get.
"I am Loki of Asgard and I am burdened with glorious purpose" That he is. He had to go through the journey and learn to care for someone other than himself to get to that place, but he's there. And now he sits on the throne of time. Such an amazing episode. And that score has been properly added to my Spotify playlist. Natalie Holt's genius is going to live rent free in my head.
The fact that He Who Remains foresaw (or actually wrote) what was going to happen tells us that Sylvie was finally right at the end of season 1, when she said that he should not be trusted and that everything he told them was just one more of his lies... I mean, that's why she was frustrated with Loki during the beginning of this season, she was still resentful that he hadn't been able to visualize it the same way she did, I remember she asking him "why aren't we seeing this the same way?" and it was heartbreaking but I'm glad they reached an understanding at the end 💚
Everyone's talking about Loki's character arc; all true, all good. I love how, at the end of season one He Who Remains didn't seem as villainous as he does here! In season one he felt like a guy who grew tired of his existence. Now we see he was playing the longest game possible! That's a major villain!!
The magnitude of what Loki did is insane and has immense repercussions for the mcu. I don't think at this point there's any character more powerful than loki. He turned into something from the comics that I only WISHED to see in the mcu, he became the god of stories but then became something MORE, he became Atlas, he's quite literally holding the mcu, if they were smart they'd use this but I seriously doubt it. As bittersweet as this was, this was such a fitting end for him. Obsessed. Incredibly proud. I wish Frigga and Thor could see him now.
Welcome back Queen! Your glam look was the perfect compliment to this stunning season (hopefully series) finale. This was a perfect ending to Loki’s story arc. This is Marvel at their best.
Honestly, what is time if not an illusion? Loki is now seated at the End of Time, crafting an eternal trick on every timeline, on all people, for all time. Always. The epitome of a trickster god.
Loki has become the most important being in the entire MCU now, holding it together at the very center of "Yggdrasil" as the God of Stories. GOD I LOVE LOKI, he's my favourite Character. His Brother, his Father and Mother and his "Sacred" Self would be so proud.
This follows in line with the story of Loki in the comics.. Loki is no longer the God of Mischief, he was reborn the God of Stories.. Loki’s true purpose is the never ending story that always has a beginning and end.. like the Ouroboros a snake eating it’s own tail.. once the head (beginning) meets its tail (end).. the cycle starts over.
This whole show was great. It was all leading up to this moment. Loki thinking being a god is ruling over others eith no consequences and glory until he finally sees the hardship of being a god and chooses to no longer be a god that needs to be worshiped, but a god that helps others for no reward
you look good in that dress. yeap Loki is one for the ages. really well written character. and wonderful ending. being alone. its his fear but it happend
As a norse mythology girlie, watching Loki of all people sacrifice everything to become the core of a multiversal Yggdrasill was wonderful. Genuinely one of my favorite marvel projects to date, especially with Natalie Holt's wonderful score.
Loki the tree of life Thor talks about in the first who knew it was all Loki villain Turned hero saved everyone’s life just like Tony stark is this how RDJ returns to the MCU
The show was fantastic, but there are several plotpoints im stil kinda confused about... 1. ...if "He Who Remains" knew that Loki would get the time-manipulating-powers... wouldnt that mean, that he knew Loki would become the god of stories and replace his loom? 2. ...also wouldnt that mean, there is a third bigger overarching timeloop, where the "He Who Remains" Kang-varient would at some point go to Loki insinde of Yggdrasill, kill him and restart the whole loop? -> creating the loom to replace Loki and mindwipe the TVA (remember Miss Minutes is stil there); Ravonna is in Alioths playground wich means she is outside of Lokis influence and can learn about Alioth and and try to controll him, wich she did to help "He Who Remains" win the multiversal war 3. ...people already speculate that "He Who Remains" tempad was carved out of Lokis horns, wich is why it looks so different and is so strong compared to the other tempads... it inherits Lokis time-manipulating-powers and can manipulate people even without the collars on...
This series is an absolute masterpiece! Now we need to wait a few years until Marvel goes through its next crappy phase and once again creates another masterpiece!
They gave Loki the best character arc in Marvel to date.

@@TheMimo2001They fumbled it in her own show
@@idontcare789 Nope.
@@bluesorcerer83 yes.

In Norse mythology, Loki is an agent of change. Destruction and rebirth. This season has really fit the theme.
Loved how they rotate the timelines to show that the loom has been replaced by Yggdrasil the World Tree.
That part was so beautiful!
My god, what an incredible soundtrack. Natalie Holt made a masterpiece with her score for this season. Anything less than an Emmy would be a crime.
This is the episode that finally tips this show into “masterpiece” territory IMO.
Yeah this episode puts the show up there with the likes of Daredevil and Agents of Shield Season 4.
Which is fitting since this wraps up the whole story and makes the rest of the show much more layered
Loki's sacrifice means, he's trusting everyone to off each of Kang's variants... "a fighting chance" as Sylvie put it.
its crazy in the last episode loki was saying he just wants is friends and doesn't want to be alone, only for him to make the ultimate sacrifice being all alone at the end of time so everyone else can live.

Not the god of time and they dont specifically say it but he became the god of stories from the agents of asgard comics if I'm not mistaken
He is known as the "God of Stories"

Well Not True His Parents are in Valhalla..they can see and be Proud of Him from there.
God, what a fantastic finale. Finally, Loki has his purpose. His burden. And it is glorious.
Even comes with a throne!
That Glam-Loki Variant look, as you describe it, is indeed serving glorious purpose vibes. Once again, your outfit planning game is flawless, Jess.

Loki made the hard choice to love. Love for his friends without benefit to himself. A god who sacrificed himself for love of his friends. Wonderful. And Loki used his free will to do it. Defeated kang with love, not a sword.
Very nicely put about him defeating Kang with love not a sword.
I totally missed the first time around the double meaning of Mobius's "Let time pass". Because of course, time doesn't pass at the TVA.
No wonder the Time Stone is green, because Loki。
Stunning episode. I’m happy Loki saved everyone but super sad he’s all alone now 😔 👑 💚

Lovely detail.
Jess...your dress is gorgeous! This season has been phenomenal! And I shed so many tears over Loki being alone.
I can’t get through any of the reactions I’m watching without crying. It’s beautiful but so sad.

GLORIOUS PURPOSE!
this was sooo inspired by Heaven Sent...
No longer the god of mischief, now he is the God of Stories

Ask not if Loki is worthy of Mjolnir; ask whether Mjolnir is worthy to be wielded by Loki!
Reminds me of Daisy’s episode in AOS in the final season

WOW 👀
Last scene is another comic book came to life. Epic. Peak Marvel.
Tom Hiddleston's back must hurt.... from carrying the MCU for the past 2 years
It weirdly feels like watching the doctor regeneration, It really feels like i've just witnessed something special.
Not easy to catch, but when Loke brought the two hands with the time streams together, hi pulled them into his chest (heart) !!1
They are beautifuly big♥️
This was an amazing finale!
Frigga would cried as well😢
You SLAYED in that dress Miss Sesskasays❤❤❤
Loki the tree of life Thor talks about in the first who knew it was all Loki villain

Enjoyed that.
What a gorgeous outfit, Jess. I want it!
Wasn't that finale just wonderfully beautiful?!!! Great series overall.❤
8:36 Dr. Doom
I don’t think they would actually be that confused when he says “This time” because they would assume he meant the time Mobius did the skin risking.
And now he burns at the centre of time.
Slaying that dress what show are we watching again??
The greatest hero in the MCU!
So that is why the timestone is green? 🤯
I wonder if Loki is worthy of Mjolnir now
Best character in mcu. Hands down
The show was fantastic, but there are several plotpoints im stil kinda confused about...
1. ...if "He Who Remains" knew that Loki would get the time-manipulating-powers... wouldnt that mean, that he knew Loki would become the god of stories and replace his loom?
2. ...also wouldnt that mean, there is a third bigger overarching timeloop, where the "He Who Remains" Kang-varient would at some point go to Loki insinde of Yggdrasill, kill him and restart the whole loop? -> creating the loom to replace Loki and mindwipe the TVA (remember Miss Minutes is stil there); Ravonna is in Alioths playground wich means she is outside of Lokis influence and can learn about Alioth and and try to controll him, wich she did to help "He Who Remains" win the multiversal war
3. ...people already speculate that "He Who Remains" tempad was carved out of Lokis horns, wich is why it looks so different and is so strong compared to the other tempads... it inherits Lokis time-manipulating-powers and can manipulate people even without the collars on...
This series is an absolute masterpiece! Now we need to wait a few years until Marvel goes through its next crappy phase and once again creates another masterpiece!
Phenomenal show, more of this quality from the MCU please.
Look amazing btw... Green dress, very Loki 👌
Now I wonder what Moebius originally did that made him a variant?
❤❤ Stunning
She’s is gorgeous. Love her content.
