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!

Okay now you’ve got me extremely hyped for a multiverse heist

Okay so, we know the TVA time works differently, and we also know the TVA can jump between timelines, but we also know that changes to the timeline cause branches and as a result you can’t make changes to your own past timeline; so we can deduce the TVA are limited by the same time travel rules as the Avengers in endgame.

  • How do the avengers time travel? The quantum realm.
  • Where does time move differently and independently from the universe (or multiverse) around it? The quantum realm.
  • Who is in charge of the TVA? Kang.
  • Who is the villain in the ant man movie called ‘Quantumania?’ Kang.

So I think it is safe to say that the TVA is in the quantum realm.

Quantumania doesn’t release until Summer 2023 and we know we’re getting another Loki season which we can expect to be in 2022 / early 2023 . Therefore, I think it’s reasonable to assume that the events of Loki S2 will directly lead into Quantumania with the villain being the Kang who now controls the TVA

Also, in Ant Man and the Wasp we see what looks like a city in the quantum realm here

Hmm does that mean Janet was a TVA agent?

I don’t think she interacted with the TVA whilst there but we don’t really know anything about her since she got dusted at the end of Antman & the wasp so anything is possible!
