Warning! This post contains SPOILERS for Loki season 2, episode 5
Summary

• Loki gains a new superpower in episode 5 of Loki season 2, allowing him to control his time-slipping to travel along his own personal timeline at will.
• This power breaks the established rules of MCU time travel, as Loki can now rewrite and undo events in the present, creating a new narrative going forward.
• Despite defying the rules, Loki's newfound ability is significant because it symbolizes his character development and his refusal to let his story play out as it always has.

Loki just gained a new superpower in the MCU, one that breaks all the time-travel rules established thus far. As seen in Loki season 2, episode 5, the titular God of Mischief (Tom Hiddleston) was once again suffering from his "time-slipping" affliction he had seemingly gotten rid of in the season premiere. However, Loki ends up finding a way to control this new ability, granting him an incredibly new power of personal time travel unlike anything seen before.
By the end of Loki season 2, episode 5, all of Loki's friends from the TVA were unraveled along with the branches that were gradually dying, leaving Loki alone. However, the God of Mischief finally chose to rewrite his story and the assumed narrative that Lokis are meant to lose. Refusing to let his friends die, Loki has gained control of his time-slipping and can now time-travel along his own personal timeline at will. This is quite a remarkable and game-changing new power for Loki with massive ramifications considering how MCU time travel has worked in the past.
