Loki! (spoiler thread)

[Maxperson]

I thought the citadel was outside of time, so I assume that the portal Loki went back through could have been connected to any part of the timeline, including one of the new branches.

There were no new branches. He Who Remains wasn't dead yet. His death was the trigger.

Nope, we see it start to branch shortly after the "Threshold", several minutes before He Who Remains is killed.

No we don't. He passes the Threshold and that's it. Once he dies, the lighting outside the window starts to fork and timelines explode. His death was the trigger.

I suggest a rewatch. The timeline is clearly shown to start branching shortly after the Threshold, before the Loki/Sylvie fight scene.

You are correct.

All the heroes and villains chose to do what they did via free will. It was just that their free will was found to be acceptable.

At least in the version we saw, who knows how many variants were pruned from the avengers roster for alternate decisions made. I can agree that probably not every little decision is monitored that closely, but some of the key ones.... decision to time travel, nat's sacrifice, Tony's decision to snap, all the big plays are likely coming from the master play book, and no one had any real say about those.

for what happens in loki i assume we are getting the introduction to the new bad. how does the new bad match up with the current avengers/potential young avengers? Who will be the followers of the big bad

I don't know if this has been confirmed anywhere but I'm guessing the end of episode 6 of Loki is meant to line up with the last post credit scene of WandaVision.

I'm glad there's another season coming. I really enjoyed the ride and cannot wait for the upcoming phase of marvel movies.

For all we know, the TVA has multiple iterations that all exist in the quantum realm, but connect into separate sacred timelines.

 

[Dire Bare]

Sylvie kicked Loki back to the TVA before killing He Who Remains Kang and before the timelines started to branch like crazy . . . . but he sat in the "time theater" (empty room) for a while brooding, before going to look for Mobius.

Sylvie killed Kang Who Remains, and the timeline branching went into overdrive, BEFORE Loki found Mobius and B-15.

It was only a few minutes, but it was enough for the reality of the TVA to change.

There are not multiple, simultaneous versions of the TVA, as it exists outside of time and space. The timeline of the TVA itself was altered.

How exactly this happened, well, we'll find out in season 2.
