Loki! (spoiler thread)

[Maxperson]

And Alligator Loki is there for... endangered species?

I didn't see an Alligator Loki, unless you're talking about the pictures from a few episodes ago. I'm talking about the characters that seem to have speaking parts. I could be wrong, but it seems that here at the end they are singling out protected classes.

Edit: I went back and looked and I just figured that was his pet. We'll see.

Is he Frog Thor's version of Loki? LOL.

The kid is holding an alligator that is wearing horns. That is Alligator/Crocodile Loki, and is probably a Loki who got stuck in that form after shapeshifting. Foreign language credits list it. The foreign language credits also name the Thor/Loki hybrid as Boastful Loki.

Interesting. What is foreign language credits?

Edit: Looking at the English credits, it only lists Classic(old) Loki, Kid Loki and Boastful Loki. No mention of the alligator.

I think the spoiler article listed the German credits? It is like how the French credits listed Sylvie, but the English credits did not give her a name in episode 2.

I’m with the idea that the gender of Loki is fluid, and, according to what matters to the TVA, un-important. This is refreshing to have in a series as built-in and not worth drawing attention. And, it makes for interesting discussion re: Loki falling in love with themself. Having the two instances being of different genders obscures the essential narcissism of the love. This points out, perhaps, one’s biases in viewing romance, as well as perhaps pointing out how a lot of what seems to be love is really one loving their reflection in their lover. Intriguing stuff.

Meh. Loki's gender is fluid. What gender Loki is at any moment (even birth) isn't really an issue.

And... this is Pride Month. I am totally comfortable with the idea that Marvel would choose to NOT make the statement that what gender the character was assigned at birth matters to the universe.

Yeah, my assumption is:

Prime Timeline - kid Loki (genderfluid) does action X, which the time keepers are cool with. He grows up and mostly uses a male appearance.

Branch Timeline - kid Loki (genderfluid) does action Y, which the time keepers flip out about. She escapes and decides to adopt a feminine appearance, perhaps because she learns about other Lokis and wants to distance herself from them.

As for what X and Y are, it might've been something as simple as X was "being a selfish piss-ant" and Y was "wanting to be heroic and save Asgard."

I believe they showed why Sylvie was picked up by the TVA on screen. She was expected to be the Goddess of Mischief, and instead of playing pranks on others, she's playing with toys and taking the role of the hero. She was obviously a well behave child, and that made her a variant.

+1. Loki has a prescribed role, as described in one of the initial episodes. I’m thinking their deviation from that role creates the deviant.

It would seem that the TVA is too narrowly constraining the timeline, and deviations are a normal thing, especially with creatures such as Loki, which are described as a chaotic expression of the universe.

It's in align with the actual Norse mythology in which Loki is well basically everything fluid lol
