Loki Season 2 is taking the God of Mischief in a bold new direction, and a reference to a Marvel Comics story may tease what's yet to come.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Summary Loki season 2 is continuing the bold character development that the one-time MCU villain began in the show's first season, but new hints make a compelling theory that Loki's new true purpose and power are yet to come. Loki season 1 ended with the death of Jonathan Majors' He Who Remains, which left the Sacred Timeline uncontained and set up major trouble for Loki season 2.
The events of Loki season 2, episode 5 have viewers familiar with Marvel Comics excited. Between the nature of what's happening with time and the TVA to some specific lines from Loki at the end of the episode, there seem to be some clear connections to a bold Loki comics story that saw the Asgardian prince shed the shackles of his past failures and forge a new destiny.
In hindsight, Loki's desire to leave his villainous past behind has been a long time coming. Earlier in the season, Loki is confronted about how he's destined to be a failure in every multiverse reality. While this version of Loki has already been moving far down the path of good, the accusation shook him. In Loki season 2, episode 5, Loki fails once more as his friends and entire reality shred to threads due to his inability to stop the Temporal Loom explosion.
God Of Stories Loki Gives The Avengers A Chance Against Kang Close In addition to building up Loki's newfound role, Loki season 2 also indirectly showcases the incredible power of Kang and his variants. So far, the MCU's heroes have only had to take on one version of Kang at a time, but the Quantumania post-credits scene teases the potentially unending legion of villains that makes up the Council of Kangs.
Assuming Loki succeeds in eventually rebuilding the TVA, either in full or in spirit, he gives the Avengers the multiversal leader and guide they've been missing. While heroes like America Chavez can already travel between dimensions, she can't travel through time, and Loki's ability to monitor all of space-time is hitherto unprecedented on the side of good.
