Loki: 5 burning questions for Episode 5
By Mark Lynch
4. Who is Ravonna really?
Apparently, Ravonna is really drinking the Kool-Aid. After Mobius returns with Loki, she has Mobius pruned (didn’t see that coming). She didn’t even seem to care that he was destroyed. And after Loki and Sylvie find out the truth about the Time-Keepers, Loki is pruned. Sylvie immediately goes after Ravonna.
The TVA authority asks to be killed, but Sylvie wants to know what’s going on and it doesn’t look like she’s going to take no for an answer. Before we find out more about the TVA, though, we should know who Ravonna was before she was recruited? Her backstory will help explain why she backs the TVA without question.
3. Who was Mobius?
Mobius was pruned but as we see in the mid-credit scene, that may not necessarily mean that he’s dead. Pruning could send people to a world where they can’t affect the timeline. Nonetheless, if he’s dead, it would be nice to know who he was before the TVA ripped him from his time.
Mobius was a likable character. He was loyal to the TVA and their work until he found out the truth. He could have left Loki to suffer, but he knew it was wrong. This makes you wonder who he was before joining the TVA. His good nature must have come from his old life. The next episode should show us his past. We especially need to know why he loves jet-skis.
