Loki! (spoiler thread)

I'm not sure if they turn them off exactly, more it is a product of where they are. The infinity stones are about controlling the universe, but at the TVA they are effectively out of the universe so have nothing to control.

It's like if you took your TV remote out into the middle of a field away from your TV at home. You haven't stopped your TV remote working or being a TV remote, it just hasn't got a TV to effect.

They also have so many as I suspect they are often involved creating timelines that they have to prune, so they become useless trinkets.

It's no coincidence that the one they had the most copies of was the time stone

I'm wondering how many of the MCU fans are likely to know about a news story from decades before they were born.

For sure, I thought it was an MCU reference until I looked it up.

I have 19 mins left of the show so far conclusions.

there is something super off with the tva, hiding in a place that gets destroyed is logical from an in-universe perspective.
I really get loki and that makes me uncomfortable.

Considering this can cover all of time and space, its surpringingly earth-centric so far. Is that purely a budgetary reasons....or is there a plot point behind it.

I suspect its a metaplot reason and theyre going to keep the weird stuff for the Movies (especially Multiverse of Madness)

I'm wondering how many of the MCU fans are likely to know about a news story from decades before they were born.

I like that its a deep cut that only certain geeks will know, not every easter egg needs to be there for the general consumption.

also, the future really sucks 52 year old me will hate it.

I knew about before the Leverage tv series, but then again, I have a thing for some unsolved mysteries like that

Historical in-joke.

Episode 2, as I watch:

Spoiler

Franklin D. Roosevelt High School is a set-up for something, but I don't know what yet.

I may be reading too much into this, but I wonder if it's more than just a minor thing that Mobius is not sure where she got it and/or why she has it. Perhaps it is a name that has no meaning to him, from a pruned timeline that no longer exists, indicating that something very bad is afoot by the TVA?

One thing I wondered (which I've kind-of wondered since we first saw that big cityscape of the TVA) is whether the TVA itself is recursive, using minor variants of its buildings and staff members in infinite combinations, all rigged so that they never directly interact with each other.

So, maybe the other agents that Mobius's superior oversees are... other Mobiuses. Mobii?

So, Timeline Variance is a Thing, it has an energy signature and can be traced. And we've seen what the temporal reset charges do - they nuke the entire area, but selectively. One would presume that they do so by only targeting people and objects which have a variance signature.

In which case, why does The Variant dropping them off in loads of different times and places cause divergent timelines? If a charge goes off where there's nothing variant to be erased, wouldn't it be just a momentary harmless light show? Maybe The Variant changed their targeting parameters.

Loki's still coming across as a bit dumb and incompetent to me. This guy is no god of mischief.
