On July 14, the final episode of Loki aired and ended this twist-filled series that has been making waves lately. But the ending of the film continues to raise many questions and what does that ending reveal?
Note that this article will spoil the ending of Loki movie a bit, so consider it if you haven’t seen it yet.
After the extremely brain-hacking twists of Loki’s final episode on July 14, viewers were officially brought into a state of multiverse disorder in the MCU. This final episode revolves around the meeting of Loki, Sylvie and the “final boss” He Who Remains behind it all. Even the person who founded the Time Variance Authority (TVA) organization and controls everything that happens on the main MCU timeline has also been exposed.
However, this is actually just a variation of Kang, a dangerous character in the Marvel universe who once used the monster Alioth to win the previous multiverse war, taking on the role of 1 “Time-Keeper” for millions of years. But now that he is bored and wants to retire, he wants to cede his position of power to someone else. None other than Loki and Sylvie were the chosen ones, but because of personal hatred pent up over thousands of years, Sylvie directly murdered He Who Remains and this created chaos in the multiverse.
The ending of the film also reveals some other notable details:
Why did Sylvie kill Kang?
At the end of the movie, Sylvie directly kills the Kang He Who Remains variant, which is a milestone and an important event in the final episode. After hearing the explanation that other variations of Kang could reappear if the multiverse situation occurred, Loki understood the severity and considered becoming the ruler of the time stream. main MCU. However, at that time Sylvie could not keep a cool head when facing the person who had made her constantly run away for many years. So she decided to kill the person who made her suffer so much.
The reason is very simple, she had to run away from TVA for a long time when she was first arrested as a child just because “her timeline was not allowed to exist, to avoid affecting the sacred timeline that He Who Remains is in charge.” It is not clearly revealed in the movie, but the time she ran away in the apocalyptic time branches could be up to 2000 years, she was constantly hunted and this made Sylvie extremely angry. Although she also listened to the oligarch’s explanation, because of her pent-up resentment, she could not control her anger, so she decided to follow the plan that had been set from the beginning – kill the person in charge. after TVA.
Why doesn’t Mobius recognize Loki?
Mobius and Loki’s relationship is very important in the film, especially in the first episodes. However, after being betrayed by Sylvie and being sent through a time portal, he met Mobius again but this character did not recognize him, creating a disappointment. The two have gone through many levels of emotions with each other, from enemies, to friends, to allies, but this incident has left many people disappointed. The explanation for this is that Loki was taken by Sylvie to the timeline where Kang directly revealed himself to run TVA, and also where Loki had not yet contacted or worked with Mobius, so this character did not recognize him. .
If Mobius did not recognize Loki, this person would never meet his variants and this also shows that Lady Sif’s prophecy has come true, Loki can only keep company with loneliness in the end. single, after being harshly turned away by both Sylvie and Mobius.
The meaning of the Kang statue at the end of the movie
At the end of episode 6, a statue of a man very similar to He Who Remains appeared in the middle of TVA headquarters instead of the three statues of Time-Keepers in previous episodes. Although it lacks the familiar hat, the statue’s outfit is very similar to Kang’s original, so this could be a variation of the person He Who Remains warned Loki and Sylvie about earlier. This statue shows that the timeline in which Loki landed is the timeline in which Kang will be the supreme power at TVA, and at the same time will not hesitate to publicly reveal his identity and not lock himself inside the shell of 3. Time-Keeper.
But there is a small detail that Mobius mentioned about him in the final scene of the film. It can be seen that this version of Kang is a tyrant and he dominates by intimidating and spreading fear on others.
Will there be part 2 of Loki? What will part 2 be about?
A small detail in the last episode revealed that there will be a part 2 of Loki, however with Marvel’s tradition of “deceiving” and “cheating fans” in previous films, this detail should only be paid attention to. never mind.
But suppose if there is a part 2, what will the story be about? As in the last episode of Loki, the two main characters understood what happened between them and the TVA boss. This part is a personal opinion, maybe part two will talk about Loki’s journey trying to help avoid multiverse wars in the future. Maybe the film will shed some light on the events leading up to Doctor Strange and the Multiverse of Madness or Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania. Of course, this is just a personal inference and somehow Doctor Strange will have to go through many universes to correct the mistakes, then we will have the upcoming new film about Doctor Strange.
The multiverse war has officially begun
The death of the boss He Who Remains has had a major impact on the main MCU timeline, not only disturbing and influencing but also recreating the multiverse that existed millions of years ago. This is also the scenario that He Who Remains did its best to prevent, mainly by erasing all branched timelines.
With the introduction of the Multiverse, it will bring many big surprises in the future to the audience. He Who Remains asserted that a large-scale war was almost inevitable. This could be the key to bringing back characters and variations of other character series in Marvel movies.
In addition, as mentioned above, this fight will cause Doctor Strange to clean up the damage Sylvie caused when killing He Who Remains. Maybe thanks to that, it creates a good opportunity for Scarlet Witch to save her twin children after what happened in WandaVision.
Revealing a new cast of villains for the new MCU universe
The ending of Loki season 1 promises to bring many new characters, especially future villains. At the end of episode 6, judge Ravonna Renslayer fled with many TVA documents and searched for “free will”, which was related to a certain will-depriving serum in Black Widow. In addition, Sylvie may also be an annoying villain, because blind hatred has caused her and Loki to no longer share the same direction as before. Or as He Who Remain mentioned, there are countless variations of Kang that will appear if the multiverse situation occurs. Among them, it is impossible not to mention prominent names such as Nathaniel Richards – the Warlord, Kang the Conqueror, Immortus or even the “pha-ke” version of Doctor Doom. Just the concept of the Multiverse and the Multiverse War opens up many upcoming possibilities for the future of the MCU with a cast of characters that are extremely worth waiting for.
