Loki Season 2Marvel Studios
Episode 5 left many questions still to be answered.
(Ke Huy Quan) what they did wrong.
says they werent fast enough.
So, Loki thinks he just needs to get everyone to hustle.
But no matter how fast they go, Victor gets turned to spaghetti every single time.
Finally, Loki realizes they dont need to movefasterin that moment.
He needs to go back to an earlier moment.
Loki then time slips back to the moment that Victor and O.B.
He speeds through their introduction and tries to get O.B.
working on the multiplier using Victors prototype, but O.B.
As much as Loki would like to help in this moment, hes not the expert in theoretical physics.
Or, is he?
how long it would take for him to learn everything O.B.
can teach him about the subject.
He says decades, and Victor thinks it would take centuries.
Good thing Loki can come back to this exact moment at any time.
So, Loki does spend a few centuries learning the ins and outs of theoretical physics.
Just for a moment, the team revels in their success.
But before long, the readings are off again and the loom is overloading.
The loom will always fail.
Loki tries everything he can to convince Sylvie she cant kill him, but she doesnt listen.
She kills He Who Remains, or Loki kills her.
Loki refuses to kill Sylvie, even after countless rewinds and attempts to convince her.
After who knows how many tries, He Who Remains pauses time.
How many times have you been at this?
He unpauses Sylvie, only for Loki to pause her again.
A new trick up his sleeve, presumably as he has learned to control time.
And what makes you think this is the first time weve had this conversation?
So when it explodes, the Sacred Timeline still exists…but the TVA is collateral damage.
Easy enough to fix, he says.
But no matter what, Loki is destined to lose.
That is not an answer the God of Mischief is willing to accept, though.
But Loki is determined.
He time slips again, this time going to the very, very beginning.
Were back at Season 1, Episode 1 and Loki is being interrogated by Agent Mobius.
Loki cuts him off, anticipating the question hes going to ask, and redirects the conversation.
He hesitated, and another hunter stepped in.
That hunter was Ravonna Renslayer.
Ultimately, Mobius tells Loki, he needs to choose his burden.
Suddenly, that timeline is being shred apart and Loki is back in A.G. Dougs (aka O.B.)
workshop right as that timeline is turning to spaghetti.
But, Loki wonders, what is the point of free will if everyone dies?
Now, Loki has a plan.
He once again time slips back to the moment right before the temporal loom explodes.
But time works differently in the TVA, so who knows.
Could is be the World Tree (aka Yggdrasil)?
As he and B-15 are headed to the war room, he reveals hes leaving.
He wants to return to his timeline and see what hes been working so hard to save.
As he stands across the street from his (well, Dons) home in Ohio, Sylvie appears.
Mobius decides to stay there and take it all in, at least for the moment.
The last interesting bit includes Renslayer, who was sent to the Void.
The episode ends with the camera panning through the millions of timeline branches to reveal Lokis face.
While hes not quite smiling, he seems to be satisfied with his solution.
