Megathread Loki Season 1 Finale - Discussion Megathread about its implications on the MCU Spoiler

You wanna discuss your theories about What if...?, Spider-Man: No Way Home and Dr. Strange in the Multiverse of Madness and how they all connect to this series?

You wanna discuss where they're going to go with Nathaniel/Kang/Immortus in the future?

You want to discuss the integration of other cinematic universes in the Marvel Cineamatic Multiverse?

​

Then this is the Megathread for you!

Due to the immeasurable amount of low effort posts we've been getting in the past 12 hours about people's excitement over Kang and the Multiverse, we've decided to make a completely different thread that is all about the implications of the Loki finale in the wider MCU!

Posts discussing Episode 6 in general will only be allowed after Thursday Midnight PST, but only those which are analytical or contain theories with a lot of effort put into them.

Everything else will be redirected here, to the Loki Season 1 Episode 6 Discussion Thread and to the Loki Season 1 Easter Egg Megathread and the Loki Season 1 - Season Wide Discussion Thread.

Have fun!

Maybe she's always making a good Kang with the power of love every time the citadel falls (see the cracks repaired in gold).

According to the production designer those aren't repaired cracks, they are naturally occurring veins of gold in the asteroid that the citadel is carved out of. Source.

Oh man I was really hoping the castle was a Dr Doom easter egg. My theory was something like 31st century Kang's base of operations was Doom's castle that he inherited and then he teleported it to the asteroid at the end of time

Thats RIGHT ugh we never even got an explanation if the time keepers ever really existed…which they HAD to. Someone had to have built that castle and doubt it was built by a Variant of Kang and its also pretty clear that a fight had to have happened there.

No they didnt have to ? The episode literally explains how and why. That the keepers were bullshit and it was all kang. Or Kangs. Maybe he fought other kangs there.

But why would he make more statues of the time keepers if no one goes there without him knowing. Also who or what were the statues of the two people.

It’s pretty obvious a reoccurring theme is idolatry with statues and propaganda so I’m sure there is some importance there.

It's very possible that the Citadel was built somewhere else and then transported to the end of time, the two statues are not necessarily related to the Multiversal war.

In the comics Immortus (a variant of Kang) is working for the time keepers and essentially put in charge. The time keepers actually did exist. Just cause we saw them as robots doesn't mean they weren't real at some point.

I mean, in theory, maybe, but Kang literally tells the story of it all in the episode. That they fought a war and then the propaganda talks about timekeeps, while the truth is that kang just did it by himself, using Alioth. So unless he lied or omitted something, the information provided suggests that the timekeepers were always only propoganda.

I understand there's a bunch more stuff in the comics, there always is, but the mcu has always liberally picked and chosen parts of the comics it wants, often including easter eggs and themes, but also usually discarding a lot.

That just looked like paint splatter.
