End of loki episode 311/30/2023 ![]() Kang is a time hopping villain whose sole purpose is to physically manipulate time to his own wellbeing. Just why having Majors appear as Kang, or whichever name he goes by from his laundry list of aliases from the comics, would make complete sense as well. Having Strange would’ve been huge fan service that would’ve made a whole lot of sense. That being said it was revealed after the season finale of WandaVision that Benedict Cumberbatch was in fact set to appear… But Marvel Studios executives believed that Doctor Strange would, “take attention away from Wanda.” They’re not wrong, yet, they’re also wrong. But, we’ve seen in the past with WandaVision and The Falcon and the Winter Soldier that “wild” fan theories don’t always come to fruition. Jonathan Majors will be playing the titular villain in Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, and if Marvel Studios wants us to know about him before his big screen appearance, Loki makes too much sense. Kang the Conqueror, arguably a top five Marvel villain of all-time, seems like an obvious bet to be introduced to by season’s end. I’d like to use this as my way of saying that a “Council of Kangs” would be really neat to see. Let this be the official number one reason why the Time-Keepers, if they even exist, are evil. How will the TVA people react to this? I suspect it'll vary, but hopefully Mobius at least will rebel against the Time-Keepers and help end their apparent tyranny… Which hopefully doesn’t lead to his death! Mobius' passion for jet skis and reference to the early '90s is likely a remnant of his old self too. When Sylvie enchanted Hunter C-20 (played by Sasha Lane), she used the TVA worker's love of margaritas to manipulate her into giving up the Time-Keepers' location. ![]() However, it seems like fragments of their past lives remain. It makes sense that the Time-Keepers would recruit people who've stepped off the Sacred Timeline, but they apparently wipe the Variants' memories to some degree. The two reminisce about love, Loki comes out as bisexual, and Sylvie confirms that TVA agents are not, “made by the Time-Keepers,” but are in fact Variants themselves who don’t have a clue about their past lives. When the two Lokis, sorry I won’t call her Loki, SYLVIE, arrive on the train to get to the ark, Loki and Sylvie have a very fascinating conversation. Much of the episode was about the duo trying to fix the Tem-Pad to get off of Lamentis-1, but turned out to be the beginning of their combined “mission” to destroy the TVA. And don’t worry, Thanos wasn’t involved this time. Upon arriving to the new MCU location, which is not a world in Marvel Comics, the planet was mere hours away from being destroyed by an exploding moon. The episode begins right where we left off, and see the duo turn up at the TVA before being stopped by Renslayer who causes them to go to Lamentis-1 in the year 2077. The first place we met Sylvie on the show. Even though she’s 100% human and is from Oklahoma. Enchantress, Sylvie Lushton, was gifted her powers by Loki, and is a villain Thor and Asgard in the comics. She also seems like a combination of both Lady Loki and Enchantress from the comics. She also learned of her Frost Giant heritage in a much different way. It also seems like she wasn't adopted by Odin at all, so she never had the same bond with Loki's adoptive mother Frigga. We didn’t learn much about Sylvie in episode three, but she apparently stepped off the Sacred Timeline quite early in her life, and clearly had a different experience than Loki. But who the true villain of the first season is, remains to be seen. It seems like the duo is forming a friendship that might morph into a villainous partnership down the line. ![]() It seems like she can be reasoned with, but at the end of the day, Loki and “Lady Loki” are both villains in their own-right. ![]() It’s also still pretty apparent, to me at least again, that Sylvie is NOT the villain of season one. Besides a brief cameo by the shady, to me at least, Renslayer. Loki and, as we now officially know, Lady Loki, were basically the only characters in the episode who were mainstays from the series. Episode three of Loki wasn’t as great as it’s predecessors, but it was a very important episode that provided some great dialogue, and some strong character development.
