If the Loki writers absolutely had to have an unnecessary romance baked into the plot and weren’t cowards, they would’ve paired Loki and He Who Remains together.

He could’ve made it to the Citadel at like the beginning of episode 5 and had more time to build a dynamic between just the two of them- whatever dynamic it would’ve been.

And then that would solidify Loki a major role in the Kang storyline in the main mcu, because in addition to being the one to open the multiverse (sylvie doesn’t exist in this au shh) he’d have an emotional history with the only “good” variant of him.

#also I’m imagining the two having a nice sentimental time where HWR shows loki all the different ways his life could’ve gone etc #and Loki surprises HWR by recognising his loneliness and melancholy hiding beneath the manic mask #and like yea sure HWR paved the road for Loki to get there bc he (supposedly) wanted him to takeover as time lord or whtvr #but he had no idea what would happen once loki got to his castle #all of this is new and exciting and fresh and emotional for him #it’s the first time he’s had a spontaneous interaction with anyone in literally all of time #and Loki empathises with him and feels drawn to him and tries to convince him to work out some sort of compromise #where people can have free will yet the evil Kangs don’t get released #(which is what I think he was gonna suggest to sylvie when he said ‘hang on a moment-‘ but ofc we know how that went)#but kang is tired and just wants change and for his time as ruler to be over so he refuses to compromise #and says either loki can take over as dictator or kill him and let it all loose #and we know which option loki the god of chaos would choose #I haven’t even thought this out rly I just think it had potential #loki x he who remains #loki x kang #loki x hwr #loki series #loki #kang #anti sylvie #antisylki
