Loki: How the timeline and multiverse works in Marvel Comics

The Exiles

Okay, let’s say all of that still proves nothing. The Timekeepers could still say, “This was meant to happen” – an excuse used when Loki asked about the Avengers time jumping. But that doesn’t explain the reality-hopping Exiles or their ruthless counterpart Weapon X in the comics.

The Exiles were brought together to fix broken timelines. The other team, Weapon X, was created to repair the one that needed a brutal touch. They originally thought they were recruited by the multiverse to repair anomalies but later find out that a group of bug-like beings were the ones that caused the ripple sent throughout reality. They were also the things that recruited them.

It wasn’t an easy job physically or emotionally. Both the Exiles and Weapon X had to kill people they loved and help beings they hated (that also resembled beings from their home realities). Nonetheless, they completed their missions. Along the way, they lost loved ones, some of them got to go to their home realities and others were killed during missions. Where were the Timekeepers when all of this was going on? They could have stopped the bugs and prevented all of this from happening.

In conclusion

This is only Loki‘s first episode. However, it’s hard to believe that the Timekeepers are who they say they are in this series. Something nefarious is going on and perhaps even Mobius M. Mobius is the one causing the issues. For now, just know that the Timekeepers aren’t doing the fantastic job of protecting the timeline in Marvel Comics. And yet, this writer fully expects to see more of them in in the future.
