Loki's Tom Hiddleston Breaks Silence on "Full Circle" Season 2 Finale
Marvel star Tom Hiddleston breaks down the Loki season 2 finale on The Tonight Show with Jimmy [...]
Loki is keeping all the timelines alive, but he is not controlling what happens. Sylvie reminded him of the importance of free will, and that was one of the reasons he made the choice that he did. There will be a multiversal war with the Kang variants, but this time there is a chance that it will turn out differently from He Who Remains's two options (one sacred timeline with HWR at the end or the annihilation of everything).OK. I really liked that ending. It does leave me wondering how we can still have a multiversal Kang war if Loki's literally pulling the strings, but I feel like it was a satisfying conclusion to this Loki's character development journey.
My interpretation is…he still wanted Loki to take his place, but Loki wasn’t ready. By the end of the second season he is ready for the burden, and so “truly” defeats HWR this time.And was that what HWR wanted? At first, I thought he just wanted Loki (or Sylvie) to take his place ... but now I'm not so sure.
I very much got the sense that HWR felt that he was inevitable and that Loki would come to the same conclusion, yes. I almost think that the show would have been a lot more impactful if he was right. Then again, I love horrible endings.My personal feeling is that HWR thought his solution was the only practical one and expected Loki to figure that out in time, but underestimated the one-time god of chaos finding a third way...
In retrospect, seems to be an elaborate explanation for why Kang-Con 2025 didn't happen "earloer" in the film series.However, it was and still is difficult to see how it integrates into the wider MCU.
