I’m kind of leaning how I want season 2 of Loki to play out. Question is if Marvel is willing to throw the cash at someone to play ball on a series. (I have a feeling he would if asked.) {Spoiler}{Spoiler}{Spoiler}{Spoiler}Season 2 would see Sylvie taking up the Enchantress moniker which catches the eye...and ire...of the real MCU Enchantress. She tries to eliminate Loki and Sylvie by enchanting Thor to her side allowing them to flip their traditional roles making Loki the hero and Thor the “villain”. I doubt you'd get that due to costs, but you could get a similar story with {Spoiler}{Spoiler}{Spoiler} usual Enchantress stooge Executioner returning. I wouldnt have the duel flip as your idea, but it'd be cheaper and thus and more likely {Spoiler}Unless it’s a Variant Executioner then I don’t think he’s very much alive to play a part in that arc.
I don’t think Disney cares about the money at this point either. I’m not getting my hopes up that Hemsworth appears but he seems to be all about the crazy with Thor. That and I fully expect any day we hear that RDJ signs on to voice Riri’s suit AI so it’s not like there won’t be precedent...because you damn well know he’s doing it. |

Yeah, I see schedules being a bigger sticking point than money. WandaVision, Falcon and the Winter Soldier, and Loki each had $150 million budgets. That's not quite on par with the movies, but it's not far off (Ragnarok's budget was $180 million, for example). Given how successful all of these shows have been thus far, if the showrunners went to Feige and asked for one of the Avengers I'd expect him to make it happen. {Spoiler}Plus we're getting Hulk in She-Hulk. I know Ruffalo doesn't command quite the same kind of salary as RDJ, Hemsworth, or Pratt, but he's still one of Marvel's top tier stars. |

I remember at least Clark Gregg teased it and can’t remember if Renner joined in as well. |

That I can buy being down to money. |

Which sucks because we got Sam Jackson twice and I can’t see Renner costing more than him. |

He's one of those actors who'd rather take a small paycheque to work on his day off than to sit around not doing anything, and his AOS cameos can't have taken more than a day or two to film. |

Show missed out a lot from not having Owen Wilson appear. Really don't care for the actor playing Sylvie. The performance is just generic posh person, overly subdued and sucks the energy from the interactions with Hiddleston.
Quite disappointing, and felt like a sub par Dr Who episode.

Welp. {Spoiler}{SPOILER: CLICK TO SHOW}I mean, it’s not unusual to kill Owen Wilson off in things, but he’s gotta be alive somewhere. |

I suspect pruning doesn't kill, it just dumps the variant into another plane of existence - another TVA lie. Also, I'm marking for the Council of Lokis.  That ''80s Marvel TV outfit on Richard E. Grant is amazing! |

This episode was gut-wrenching but I loved when B-15 showed up at the end. Great moment. Left me HYPED. |

{Spoiler}I kinda like the idea that Loki loving 'himself' is a Nexus Event big enough to threaten the stability of the multiverse. |

Did anyone else think that... {Spoiler}{SPOILER: CLICK TO SHOW}One of the Timekeepers, you know which one I mean, looked exactly like Jim Carrey's Grinch?
Also, theories below:
Pruning doesn't erase people from existence, we know that now, and hoping that Loki popping up in a version of NYC isn't some sort of special exception, then Mobius is somewhere out there too, but I'll bet pruning just sends you to a timeline where you have the lowest odds of surviving,
but remember when the Ancient One explained the flow of time to Bruce and his response?
It was explained as basically pruning the branches created by removing an Infinity Stone from a timeline when returning it to the moment it was taken (but was it ever explained that the exact stone taken has to be the one returned?) . I'm betting that Time Heists exist in all of those futures Dr. Strange looked into, and if the TVA isn't a front entirely (it seems to me it was overtaken), I'd postulate the theory that the TVA/Timekeepers were responsible for monitoring ALL timelines (and they didn't use real people/variants either I'd bet), not just one, and in the event of a Time Heist popping up creating an unnecessary branch, they can take one of the Infinity Stones just lying around in the TVA and return that one and restore the flow of time...why would they be there in abundance?
Are the Timekeepers really the villains here, or have they been kidnapped away somewhere (I can't help but think of a parallel to Trevor from IM3)?
If the real Timekeepers/TVA are truly the villains, then logic dictates they'd try make a deal with Regular Loki, bribing him with the ability to deliver on his declaration in 2012 that "freedom is an illusion"
I mean that Vote Loki promo still couldn't be the final scenes of episode 6, could it?
I both hate and love how much this series has brought my fandom out in only 4 episodes.
TL;DR - More crazy theories that likely aren't true |

{Spoiler}{Spoiler}{Spoiler} {Spoiler}{Spoiler} YES, PLEASE AND THANK YOU!
Also, has to be said, really fun episode, full of a lot of stuff and crazy moments. Marked a bit for Sif being back somewhat and the ending just...man, these last two episodes are potentially going to be nuts.
Also also, my flatmate has a theory that the TVA was formed by a Loki variant for some means and...maybe? It'd be a hell of a thing if Lokis were set to try and take down a Loki that made their lives hell. |
