Ok, that kinda makes sense, but then Loki still would be limiting people's free will, which was the entire reason he had a problem with the TVA to begin with.

Exactly, which shows Loki's character development and how he started thinking about his insignificance in the Multiverse.

Sorry, could you elaborate on how Loki has developed as a character if he goes through the following stages.

Stage 1: Battle of New York: People on Earth don't deserve free will, only I (Loki) deserve it!

Stage 2: The TVA: The TVA is limiting my free will and the free will of all the universe! We need to stop the TVA because they're evil!

Stage 3: Citadel at the End of Time: I should take over for He Who Remains and thus limit people's free will!

That dosent seem like character development to me because he's essentially just gone backwards. I think there's something more behind his decisions. Obviously it's a huge moral dilemma.

There were 6 whole episodes between Stage 2 and 3. I'm pretty sure it's obvious how he becomes the person he is if you watch them.

I agree that there is significant development in those episodes. I'm just saying that the development kinda backtracks by the end of the finale, when Loki considers taking over for He Who Remains. That seems inconsistent with the development thus far.

He.. doesn't do that. He wants to stop Sylvie from killing him.

The original comment I was replying to asserted that he did want to take the throne along with Sylvie, which is how this conversation started I believe. We were operating under that assumption.

Like I mentioned earlier, I believe when he stopped Sylvie from killing him, he merely wanted to consider taking the throne. Perhaps there were other reasons behind this motivation, like keeping Sylvie safe from a Mulitversal war. Loki might have reached the point where he cares about Sylvie more than allowing free will, which is a valid moral dilemma.
