MCU Theory Reveals How Loki Season 2 Just Gave The Avengers Their Best Weapon Against Kang
Warning! This article contains major spoilers for Loki season 2.
Summary
- Loki's actions in season 2 indicate that he may embrace his role as the God of Stories, shedding his past failures and embracing a new destiny.
- The MCU Loki has the potential to become an important ally for the Avengers in their battle against Kang, especially with his newfound ability to control time.
- If Loki is successful in rebuilding the TVA, he will provide the Avengers with a multiversal leader and guide, allowing them to track and confront the Council of Kangs in their upcoming battles.
Loki season 2 is continuing the bold character development that the one-time MCU villain began in the show's first season, but new hints make a compelling theory that Loki's new true purpose and power are yet to come. Loki season 1 ended with the death of Jonathan Majors' He Who Remains, which left the Sacred Timeline uncontained and set up major trouble for Loki season 2. Now, Loki's latest failure – the Temporal Loom exploded and is slowly destroying the fabric of space and time – has inspired him to embrace a newly learned power and step into a potentially powerful new role.
The events of Loki season 2, episode 5 have viewers familiar with Marvel Comics excited. Between the nature of what's happening with time and the TVA to some specific lines from Loki at the end of the episode, there seem to be some clear connections to a bold Loki comics story that saw the Asgardian prince shed the shackles of his past failures and forge a new destiny. If this version of Loki, dubbed the God of Stories, is indeed the inspiration for the character's Loki season 2 arc, the Avengers may be gaining an incredibly important ally in the battle against Kang.
