Loki Season 2 Discussion - Spoilers

[MarkB]

Maybe it’s just the 20th century America timelines? The whole staff at the TVA is apparently just 20th Century Americans. Not even other humans let alone other species. Maybe each country on each planet in each century in the universe has its own office building.

Or I could be just making stuff up.

Yeah, it's all about Earth, and mostly America. We still haven't seen how things like the Snap went down elsewhere in the universe.

Given that the TVA exists (or did) outside of time, it could be the same people in every single building, just at different stages along their personal timelines. Maybe Mobius and the other variants are actually dozens of times older than the universe, just constantly cycling back into service across all the different structures of the TVA.

I mean … maybe? That’s a lot of stuff you invented to explain it there though!

Speculating is fun.

I decided for myself a while back that it’s all the TVA and the other buildings are for other planets and stuff. Surely the TVA / sacred timeline don’t just cover Earth.

But when they prune a timeline do they just prune America, Earth? And if so isn’t every country on every planet operating in its own timeline?

I honestly have no idea. But Loki has promised twice now that it will all make sense, so I guess we have no choice but to believe him! After all, said this was absurd right at the start, and that’s proven to be true many times over since!

 

[Ryujin]

Well all of their tech seems to be from 1950s/1960s North America, so of course all of time is the United States. Isn't that what North America is?

< / sarcasm >

 

[Rabulias]

so, there's an audio-only easter egg

Huh. I always stick around through the visual portion of the end credits, but never do so through the text credits after the Loki title drop. The writers of that article seem to be taking it a little personally.

This episode also had a visual change to the primary end credits: the design lines in the credits begin branching like the timeline displays.

 

[Enevhar Aldarion]

I mean not just species. Nationalities. The entire universe is run by Americans from the 20th century. Even He Who Remains is an American from 1960s Chicago.

1860s as a boy , not 1960s. They grabbed him at the 1893 World's Fair.

 

[Enevhar Aldarion]

I had just considered that since they're outside time, there is likely no atmosphere out there. Everywhere that they go would be within the buildings of the "city."

You forgot in the first episode of the season when Loki went out the window and landed in the back of that little hovertruck? He seemed to be breathing fine to me.
