Loki Season 2 Episode 5"s Secret Post-Credits Breaks Endgame"s Unique MCU Record

Warning: This post contains SPOILERS for Loki season 2 episode 5
Summary
- Loki season 2 episode 5 delivers a near-unique post-credits scene that pokes fun at the audience and references a deep Marvel cut.
- This is the second time in the Marvel Cinematic Universe that an audio-only post-credits scene has been used instead of a traditional stinger.
- The "loser" message in the post-credits scene not only mocks viewers but also ties into Loki's destiny as a loser, showcasing his resilience and determination to keep trying.
Loki season 2 episode 5 post-credits scene is a near-unique example in the Marvel Cinematic Universe after 32 movies and 9 different TV series. After dropping a post-credits scene at the end of the first episode in season 2, Tom Hiddleston's flagship Disney+ show randomly dropped in the season's second stinger, with a twist. In the process, Loki stole one of the most unique records of the entire Marvel timeline in a particularly clever way that absolutely fits the character's God of Mischief nickname.
Weirdly, anyone who sticks around until the end of the credits, Loki season 2 episode 5's post-credits will find themselves loudly insulted by a disembodied voice calling them a "loser". But what does it mean, where is it from, and how does it tie into the wider, deeper meaning of Loki's overall message?
