Thor: Dark World, Thor: Ragnarok, and Avengers: Infinity War gave Loki a nice rounded story where we saw him shed his evil skin to become a vulnerable anti-hero of sorts.
It wasn’t what I was expecting, but it worked.
In many Scandanavian cultures, male kids are named using a mix of their father’s last name and “son.” For example, Thor is Odin’s son, so his name is Thor Odinson.
This would kill the Enchantress theories, unless the MCU is twisting her comic origin to make the Enchantress Loki’s variant in the MCU.
The second episode went out of the way to show us several variants, all of which exist in some universe or timeline.
Jonathan Majors is set to play Kang in Ant-Man: Quantumania, however, I’m 100% sure he’ll pop up in person before then.
Kang is shown in the center of the Time Keepers almost every time they are shown.
Loki spending so much time setting up the idea of timelines, the multi-verse, breaking the multi-verse, and nexus events all while shoving Kang in our faces is just the biggest tease for fans.
Kang travels back and forth within his own history so much and spawns so many variants that we should assume the Kang in the MCU is Prime Kang.
Nexus beings are essentially timeline anchors that are crucial to the stability of the flow of time.
Is there a connection to killing off the Avengers and Thanos, or is Lady Loki trying to prevent the entire Endgame story by preventing the stones, Thanos, or the Avengers, or all of thee above, from uniting? These locations will be important, but how so is still a mystery.
That gave Marvel more freedom to play with the MCU at large, since they didn’t have to focus as hard on solidifying his character in this series.
Does that mean we’ll see a female Tony Stark from another universe? What about a female Black Panther? A good Thanos? A Hydra Captain America? The idea of variants makes the possibilities endless.
Well, it can all be as simple as a TVA teleport door, leaving the villains with “No Way Home” to their original universes.
