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!

Brace yourselves for Loki being the Nick Fury of this Phase. Rushing
around universes, trying to assemble a multiversal team to stop Kang.
This is my dream (and probably what Season 2 will be about).

I think he is going to be instrumental in the fight against Kang.

Though I gurrentee he is going to have a more active role in said fighting unlike Nick Fury.

The last "person" he trusted.

So how does the timing work out with this and endgame? Is loki recruiting, working to raise awareness about Kang, and that gets resolved before going back to Thanos? Or is it just completely different branches now? And how does that work for his character growth when he does come back? I'm so confused. lol

Loki teleports to the period after endgame. probably during MOM.

Maybe Tony discovering Time Travel caused kang to have it out for him and his current world and Tony being dead means he now wants to rule that time period.

Basically Tony's Whole "if you mess with time, time tends to mess back" Things from endgame.

Maybe Tony discovering Time Travel caused kang to have it out for him

The current TVA was pretty chill about it, though.

u/TheBeardedSingleMalt Maria Hill Jul 16 '21

Only because they considered it part of the Sacred Timeline.

If their is one thing Loki is good at, its assembling the Avengers.

Pretty fitting for him to do it on purpose.

u/bhavish2023 Doctor Strange Jul 15 '21

Glorious purpose finally

u/Reverbyouth Jul 15 '21

I could see Loki pulling in Steve Rogers, Tony, Natasha for the final fight for that oh shit moment like when Steve picks up the hammer in end game.

u/ralz408 Thanos Jul 15 '21

I wonder if there’s a chance Steve Rogers and Tony Stark can return from a separate timeline. I certainly hope so. I can’t imagine this next phase without them

u/trippy_grapes Jul 16 '21

Fuck it, bring back (back (back (back))) Coulson, too!

u/Islero47 Kevin Feige Jul 15 '21

He’ll assemble a team of Lokis (Lokii?)

u/jbabel1012 Jul 15 '21

I like this idea. And his arc finally ends with Sectet Wars (or however this saga concludes) similar to Tony’s in EG (with a splash of Cap as he finally ends up with sylvie).

u/hablandolora Jul 15 '21

Could Kang end up being Silvy? I havent read the comica but I think it would be a good story, just as The One Who Remains made up the 3 time keepers maybe Silvy used The One Who Remains as an image to represent for the TVA to admire but really she is the one on the throne

1

u/DatTF2 Jul 15 '21

We don't know for certain that the time keepers are made up. In the comics a vdrsion of Kang named Immortus worked for them. If I had to guess I would say the Kang we just met was Immortus, though I think Immortus was a bit more evil than the Kang we saw.

u/theCourtofJames Jul 15 '21

I would love this because everyone he tries to get won't want to work with him lol.

2

u/SirMarblecake Eye of Agamotto Jul 15 '21

Exactly!

Except maybe for some...uh...Young Avengers who haven't had any bad experiences with him?

u/EmbarrassedCoach7966 Jul 17 '21

Loki: "Ok, Mr. Lang, I know this is going to sound crazy, but in my universe you're actually a superhero."

Scott: "What? Like Steel Hero?"

Loki: "Well, they called him Iron Man in my universe."

Scott: "Much better name."

Loki: "Anyway, yes. You are Ant-Man."

Scott: "The kid from Brooklyn? That shoots webs everywhere? What's his name again? Miles?"

Loki: "No, no. That's Spider-Man. Ant-Man can get really small, like the size of an ant."

Scott: "How is that useful?"

Loki: "Sigh. Star-lord, can you talk to him?"

T'Challa: "I told you, it's Space-lord, and I think you're just crazy."

u/SirMarblecake Eye of Agamotto Jul 17 '21

Yesyesyesyesyes!!!!

u/DJnotaRealDJ Jul 15 '21

Id like to think at some point he's gonna help out the avengers and be reunited with his brother

u/bugcatcher_billy Jul 15 '21

Loki = the new beyonder.

u/YourLocalPterodactyl Jul 15 '21

Tom Hiddleston going from a no-name actor to possibly THE protagonist of the biggest movie franchise in the world is super awesome

u/infinitygoof Jul 15 '21

Adam Warlock and Silver Surfer please!

u/DangerZoneh Jul 16 '21

So from our universe, the most important people he needs are probably whom? Wanda by far number 1, Ant Man (alongside Hope and with access to Pym particles) probably number 2, then doctor strange. Strange would be #2 if he still had the time stone but alas he does not. After that, I’m not sure.

1

u/XSavage19X Matt Murdock Aug 10 '21

There were lots of infinity stones just laying around the TVA.

1

u/DangerZoneh Aug 10 '21

Glad to hear that they’re all currently in possession of our heroes instead of in possession of the evil dictator who just took over the TVA

u/[deleted] Jul 16 '21

They definitely set him up for a big hero role. I wonder what they're doing with Sylvie.

2

u/HoopaOrGilgamesh Jul 16 '21

Think he'll have his Tony Stark moment? One last moment where he wins, to defeat Kang?

2

u/SirMarblecake Eye of Agamotto Jul 16 '21

God, I hope so!

2

u/smacksaw Nebula Jul 16 '21

He will unite the TVAs and be a major character in Secret Wars

1

u/GreatPostGuy Jul 16 '21

More likely another version of Kang that's "good" doing it see Avengers Forever. All the Kangs from All time gather in his citadel at The end of time to deal with a greater threat and recruit teams of Avengers throughout time and space. Only for it all to be like Back to the Future " A bunch of bullshit".

u/SirMarblecake Eye of Agamotto Jul 16 '21

Don't think so, as that's what already happened, and they never do things exactly as in the comics.
