Message: <blockquote data-quote="DeviousQuail" data-source="post: 9188214" data-attributes="member: 7025431">I'll take a stab at it.He Who Remains won the multiversal war. He knows what it takes to do that and works to ensure that attempts at undoing his victory (branching timeliness with Kang variants) will fail. The whole Ouroborus/Mobius infinite loop thing. With this knowledge and power he kind of removes free will. Every step already paved, yadda yadda yadda.In some respects he does this for good reason. He either knows or believes that any other path that leads to fighting the multiversal war again will result in the death of everything. Hard to say, but he probably has more insight into this than anyone.Loki and Sylvie being good guys, or at least anti-heroes, like free will. They want freedom, but have to bear the burden of that freedom. Classic story. Anyway, skipping to the end they decide they'd rather have free will even if it means dying for it. That may or may not be Sylvie's fate down the line.Loki goes through his character arc for 2 seasons and that journey leads him to a point where he's ready to bear the burden of breaking the loop set up by HWR. Instead of letting the loom explode, which leads to all the multiverses sans HWR's "sacred timeline" being destroyed, Loki breaks everything. Sacred timeline included. He then ascends more or less (time skipping under his own power unlike HWR who uses tech to do it) to real big G Godhood by grabbing a bunch of timelines and setting it up in a brand new way. The yggdrasil tree. Now that HWR's loop is broken the multiversal war is able to start again. Team TVA has the gist of the problem and start working toward winning that war. Loki is also in a position where he might be able to help tip the balance but also had to focus on keeping this new reality in place. Very lonely in that throne. Long story short, we thought we were leading up to a multiversal war, but in truth it was just going to all be reset and repeated as HWR wanted. Now the war is on and we don't know what will happen. From an audience perspective it doesn't change that we were going to get this war. But I'm more excited for it now than I was so I'll take it.</blockquote>
