Spoilers Loki season one discussion thread

What else is a lie though? Could be that there continues to be a multiverse. I suspect we will learn more from the other Lokis.
True, but we've seen universes pruned.
I suspect that the end of the series will create a multiverse, but it doesn't exist right now.

Yes. Could be. They appeared to be pruning little branching timelines from their own timeline/universe. You saw Sylvies toys disappear but not everyhing disappeared. Whether there are other universes, or a multiverse, is not clear.

I think when we see what exactly is that place where Loki landed we will learn more.
 
I thought of the two Quicksilvers. They snuck in the one from the X-MenVerse on WandaVision, but gave him another explanation at the end of that series. But that would be an example of those who could be living in these other worlds. The apocalyptic cityscape that Loki lands in at the end of this episode looks like an Earth city though.

Is this a Loki World with thousands/millions of quantum variations of himself, or is this a world with all sorts of variants?
It's an apocalypse version of New York. In the upper right you can see a wrecked Avengers Tower
 
So for “pruning”, the Time Keepers are moving the variants from their sacred timeline to other timelines they refuse to admit exist?

Anyway, I didn't get any word of what they said, if it mattered.

That sounds exactly like what others here have posited, that what's going on here will lead to the creation of a carefully planned multiverse.
 
If...
Kang is behind this, if he's in charge, then his girlfriend, Ravona is aware, managing the TVA for her boyfriend.

Furthermore, we know what Kang wants.

He wants to have fun.

He wants to fight and win a war.

Kang wants a challenge, but he doesn't want to get his ass kicked.

Kang invented the Avengers?

Yes, that's what it seemed like to me. The pruning device deletes them from their "sacred" timeline. That doesnt mean that other timelines really were all eliminated, or that there is no multiverse. Still think the other Quicksilver appearing in WandaVision has some possible connection, despite them ending off with giving that character a more mundane explanation.
 
Bah, the ONE time I don’t check for a post credits sequence.

So do you think the TVA thinks they’re pruning people when they’re really being sent to some pocket dimension jail or do you think he was intentionally saved?
 
Some of the paperwork Loki looks through in Episode 2 has Sylvie's name on it, listed as 'Laufeydotter, Sylvie'.

This is before the reveal at the end of the episode, and the reveal of her name later.

This is something most people are not going to notice, except those who like to freeze frame on things.

Future speculation based on trailers

Mobius might be back, there is a shot of him driving a car in one of the trailers that we haven't seen yet in any episode. Plus with Loki surviving his pruning...

Does anyone think Sophia Di martino acts a bit like the 13th doctor? I got 13th doctor vibes when she said she ran away
Yes! The whole character gives me Doctor Who vibes in general. The way her character describes herself and how she is described by Loki it really made me think of the Doctor.

Speaking of which: https://www.instagram.com/p/CQy-SlZs-OT/

David Tennant really needs to be in the MCU, as Mr. Fantastic or something. I know he was in Jessica Jones but i'm guessing that's another Universe.

I thought that pruning might deposit the one pruned into a post apocalyptic "placetime" - ie. while Loki-Sylvie has been hiding in pre-apocalyptic "placetime" and then moving to another and so on, the pruning actually deposits people into the place after the apocalyptic event, where they could "live out" their time but are unable to affect the "sacred timeline" because that place-time after the apocalyptic event will take millenia/centuries/several-years before becoming central enough to affect the "sacred timeline" - ie. events in a place like Fukushima or Chernobyl after the disaster wouldn't really matter to the rest of the world, until the world is able to revisit that place safely.

One thing that I was curious about tho' and did not make sense to me - why does the TVA take action *after* the nexus event (there seems to be an assumption of that) when the whole timeline is available to them, they could perhaps take a butterfly-effect approach and just bump into the right person some time earlier to the actual nexus event to prevent it from happening. So, maybe the whole scheme is to make sure that Variants happen and get captured? To have a labor force? Also, having a variant in the TVA wouldn't necessarily mean that there isn't a version of this person in the real world - (at least that is how I'm understanding their explanation of the Variant, Sacred-Timeline by Ms. Minutes). Otherwise, there wouldn't really be Loki's death in the sacred timeline at Thanos' hand that is being shown to our Loki. So basically is this about creating Madrox (the Multiple Man) like replicas of people from the current universe for some *purpose*?
