Loki! (spoiler thread)

[Umbran]

I'm inclined to think that the one they chose to be the "sacred timeline" is the one that leads to their creation

Well, if they are from within the multiverse, it would have to, now wouldn't it?

Unless the plot twist turns out to be that the Timekeepers themselves are Variants orphaned from lost timelines, and they took on the job of policing the timeline partially to avoid being policed themselves.

I think the TVA is a propaganda front for Kang the Conquerer.

 

[Maxperson]

I don't think the TVA is so strong that they can shut down infinity gems. I think that their headquarters is somehow outside of time where the stones and other powers won't work. Otherwise their groups wouldn't be taken down so easily by enemy Loki.

The TVA sure looks too big to be just propaganda.

Agreed. It is actually quite plausible that infinity stones have no power outside their home reality.

You watched the first episode of Loki and thought "wow they're out of ideas"???!!!

 

[Parmandur]

The TVA sure looks too big to be just propaganda.

Not just propaganda, but the story they tell their membership: a lot of the characters in the first episode that have comic book equivalents are Kang-adjacent, and there were already rumors he would be the next Rhaboa...so, just calling it early:the TVA is all about ensuring the rise of Kang, and keeping him on top with his space lizard front.

I agree about the drawer of stones. Those probably belonged to the myriad of timelines that were combined into the primary. I was more thinking of the tesseract which has a stone from the primary timeline and Loki's inability to use his own powers. That combination is what makes me think that they are outside of time.

 

[Umbran]

That combination is what makes me think that they are outside of time.

I think that was established when Loki asked how long Mobius had worked there, and Mobius answered that it was hard to tell, because time worked differently in the TVA, rather established that fact.
