Loki: 5 burning questions for Episode 2
2. Who is the villain in Loki?
Before the conclusion of the series premiere, Mobius M. Mobius revealed that the threat the TVA needed the trickster’s help with was, well, Loki. A moment so jarring it could only happen in a show as outlandish as this, it undoubtedly still left a lot of viewers scratching their heads.
Is Loki really the villain of his own show? Well it’s possible but probably not in the way you think. The likely theory is that the person responsible for all those TVA Agent deaths is actually Lady Loki.
In the comics, Loki could use his shapeshifting abilities to turn himself into a female version and rumors suggesting that the character will be involved in the show have been circling for a long time. This certainly seems to be pointing the series in that direction.
1. Is Loki responsible for the Doctor Strange and Spider-Man sequels?
The time travel and multiverse concepts don’t explicitly have to be the same thing. In the Marvel Cinematic Universe, however, it seems that they are as Loki suggested that the chaos in the timeline was creating a new multiverse – something that the TVA would like to prevent.
We all know that the multiverse is coming to the MCU. The title of the upcoming Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness suggests that and rumor has it that Spider-Man: No Way Home will be the movie that paves the way for that to happen. However, it now seems that Loki will be the project that opens those multiverse floodgates.
The TVA monologue revealed that all of these separate timelines risked creating a new multiverse and that could very well be what results in all of those former non-MCU Spider-Man actors showing up in the MCU before who-knows-what inevitably happens in Doctor Strange 2.
Loki adds new episodes to Disney+ every Wednesday for the next five weeks.
