So Loki self-inflicts his time loop. He spends centuries (!!!) doing everything he can to fix the Loom. And it fails. Because of course it does.
So he goes even farther back, trying to stop Sylvie from killing He Who Remains, thinking if he can just get her to listen to what happens, she’ll rethink everything.
But she doesn’t. She can’t. That Sylvie hasn’t learned about the consequences of her actions and she’s too blind with rage to listen.
But he Keeps Fighting.
And that leads to, honestly, one of the most badass Loki moments I think I’ve ever seen
“What. Makes. You think. This. Is the first time. We’ve had this conversation…?”
aaaaaAAAAAHHHH YES
He Who Remains’ entire body language and attitude changed the moment Loki said this. Because he realized he was speaking to an EQUAL for the first time in who-knows-how-long. He realized that he and Loki were on an equal playing field
That was amazing and so so True Loki, and I loved it

Loki S2 - A Mind Blowing And Heartbreaking Story
Tumblr media
Hello my dear Marvel-Loving fellows!
The final episode of Loki aired and I’m here to share my thoughts! So be warned: Spoilers up ahead!
I gotta say I have a love-hate relationship with Loki (like most other people do as well).
The only thing I really have to criticize is the time it aired. We should have gotten this season way sooner and it showed. Not because the show wasn’t understandable this way. That’s not the case at all. It stands on its own just fine. But rather because the entire multiverse saga up to now would have made more sense and would have felt way more authentic. I’m my opinion every time the multiverse has been mentioned it felt somewhat out of place because we never got a proper explanation for it.
But let’s not dwell on this too long and start talking about the things they did well!
We finally got a good show with a well written ending. And even the CGI was amazing! Don’t get me wrong I’m actually one of the few people that enjoyed nearly all of the marvel Disney+ shows as well as the new movies but I’m also able to admit that they had their flaws and could have been sooo much better if they just took more time to produce them.
But rather than just jump to the end let’s start at the beginning of the second season. They jumped right into action and you could immediately feel the urgency the characters were in. Because of that I was immediately hooked from the first second. And while I loved this sadly you could still feel that the end of season 1 and the start of season 2 were meant to be a fluent transition. For those who don’t know season 1 and 2 were originally meant to be one big season but they decided to part it.
They kept this feeling of urgency throughout most of the season which in my opinion was great! I was sitting on the edge of my couch nearly the entire time hoping for Loki and co to finally come up with a permanent solution.
Another thing I liked were the many references to north mythology. Like the entire concept of the show is centered around Ouroboros. And the reveal with Loki sitting down on his throne holding together Yggdrasil was breathtaking. And please don’t start with “bUt ThIs OnE dETaiL IsN’t aCcUrAteLy”. When has marvel ever been completely accurate to something. It’s still fiction. They are allowed to change things to make them fit more into the story. Just look at Thor, Odin, Loki… they are all different from the mythology. You have to differentiate between the marvel mythology and the real north mythology. They are two completely different things that you can’t really compare to each other.
The next thing I wanted to mention are the characters and the relationships.
I loved the development of all the characters we already new. Like how B-15 took on one of the most important roles in the tva or how we got more background information of Mobius. But also how they introduced new characters like OB and Timely and how they don’t feel out of place at all but rather are a essential part of the group. Though I hoped Timely would have played a bigger role. I don’t know, but I was just hoping for some kind of plot twist around him.
I’m also glad that they kept the focus on the relationship between the entire group rather than just focus on singular relationships. It made so much more sense to focus on this friendship especially with Loki admitting that everything he wants is not to be alone. But they still managed to keep most of the attention on Sylvie, Mobius and Loki because no matter what they still are the main trio of this show.
I loved Loki‘s character development in this show in general. While many suspected that the reasons for Lok‘s actions in the Thor movies and the first avengers movie had deeper reasons he finally admitted to them openly and they became more clear for those that haven’t read more into his „I never wanted a thron“ line.
But this is also the reason why a part of me hates the ending of Loki. It’s just so devastating. Loki finally realizes and admits what he wants. What he has always wanted in his life. Not to be alone. And where does he end up. On the one thing he seemingly chased after all his life but that he never really wanted. On a throne. All alone. For all of eternity. It hurts so much and is so beautiful at the same time. I think I don’t have to explain why it hurts. But hear me out on the beautiful part!
Loki, the character everyone thought of as the villain. Who was seen as the jealous, selfish little brother who would do everything to get his way, even destroy the entire world, is now the protecter of the entire multiverse. He is the one that saved everyone, everything to ever exist. And no one (except for his few friends) will never know about this. The one person everyone thought of as most selfish did the most selfless act of them all. Ending up becoming what he fought so hard not to become. Sitting on a throne. All alone. For All Time. Always.

i’m sorry but Mobius’s echoing voice over the zoom in on Loki’s face as the very last shot.. that was most certainly not nothing. in fact, i think it was everything.

I feel like we don’t talk about this scene enough. It’s the implication that Mobius knows every terrible thing Loki has ever done and has still never seen him as a villain because of it. It’s Loki intimidating Brad by saying that Mobius—the person who understands him best—would agree that Loki is capable of getting what he needs from Brad. It’s Loki admitting that Mobius is the one who knows him better than anyone else ever has. It’s the casual intimacy of the statement, just 3 ostensibly unimportant words thrown on at the end of a sentence that ultimately reveals how familiar and close they really are to each another.

Loki defending his anxious husband who stress eats to avoid facing his problems is poetic cinema

sylvie’s happy little smile as she walks off into the sunset to live her best life while mobius is out here being emo because he lost his time boyfriend because he has to hold all the timelines of the universe in his hands for eternity and he will probably be alone and unfulfilled for the rest of his life without him is killing me

thinking about how before Mobius, our Loki had no one besides his brother and mother. the first Thor movie established very, very clearly just how isolated and shadowed Loki had always felt. Thor's friends were never his; he was looked down on by all, always in the shadow of his brother. he kept so much inside for so, so long, because he had no one to turn to, no one to cry to, no one to just pour his heart out to and tell them how hurt he was feeling.
hell, the only one he had to tell about his accomplishments who wouldn't scorn him was probably his mother, and even then, who knew when he could be around her at all without Odin in the room to talk down on him? and after the Bifrost, when he let himself fall, he really, truly had no one.
and then he met Mobius, and Mobius was kind and saw something in Loki that he didn't see in himself, and he was gentle with him, and he listened to him, encouraged him, told him when he did a good job, worked alongside him as an equal, not treating him as a lesser.
Mobius, who was the first one who treated Loki as he deserved to be treated. Mobius, who was the first one to look at Loki and say I see you for who you are, and I love you just the same. Mobius, who cared.
why shouldn't Loki be selfish, when giving his Mobius up would be giving up everything?

Little pie scene was great
I completely agree with Mobius. If I found out my whole life was a lie, I wouldn’t want to know what it could’ve been. I’d be terrified it was better too. That sounds like an awful predicament

I love soft Lokius but sexual tension masked as sarcastic banter Lokius was iconic…
Mobius: *says something outta pocket and walks away*
Loki: I beg your pardon—
Mobius: *smirking and turns around slowly* I thought gods didn’t beg?
Loki: *face drops immediately*

no but why bring up thor falling in love w a mortal and completely changing as a person in the process if that's not exactly what the fuck is happening with lokius bc sylvie sure as shit isn't the one loki changed for and went out of their way to defend like literally what was the point if not to parallel lokius

Loki literally stares directly at Mobius for almost 10 full seconds before announcing what his time slipping is really about. Sylvie is behind him the entire time and Loki only turns around to say he can rewrite the story, to tell Sylvie what he’s already decided to do. There is absolutely no doubt who Loki is referring to when he discovers what’s really driving him.

What?
Oh, nothing.
Just thinking about Loki finally finding comfort in Mobius’s arms.
Just thinking about the way if Loki were to discard his responsibilities of being the God of Stories and he and Mobius could just be with each other.
Just thinking of the way Mobius would comfort Loki, would repeat in whispers, “I know, honey, I know,” as Loki would grapple onto him for unneeded leverage when finally reuniting with him, when finally realizing that maybe he could live the life he desires without conflict with the man he loves.
Their kiss would be so passionate, both of them trying to grasp onto the thought that they’re with each other.
I feel like Loki would shed tears, definitely. All the burden of glorious purpose that was previously weighed on his shoulders now dissipating slowly as Mobius holds him closely, securely.
It would be an overwhelming moment that Loki wouldn’t know how to take it in. But Mobius would be there, shushing him softly, because he knows, he knows.
Yeah… just thinking how Mobius is such a significant asset to Loki’s character.
Thank you for coming to my rant.
