#loki who remains

[mischievous-thunder]

Loki's been perfecting his skills and techniques for centuries. He's probably gone through this particular scene thousands of times. But for Mobius it's the first time every single time. He's equally stunned and enraptured by Loki's beyond perfect scientific knowledge which from Mobius's perspective has developed probably in less than a minute. Nevertheless, when the initial shock is over Mobius instinctively trusts Loki with his life.

seeing the Loki statue in the TVA comic posts makes me feel things bc like remember when Loki had a statue of himself built in Ragnarok bc all he ever wanted was admiration but those he wanted it from never gave it to him. and now he has it. he has it and he'll never know. i need to sit down.

but Mobius must remember. once Loki goes back to have that conversation with him in the interrogation room. present Mobius would remember and realize he basically just talked Loki into making that ultimate sacrifice.

the conversation bothered me a little at first because i was unsure of what Mobius was trying to tell him. but that Mobius doesn’t know. he doesn’t know the decision Loki is facing. he just tells him a story about the burden of purpose.

also Loki went back to a version of Mobius who he knew would give him the right answer. he needed to hear what Mobius thought.

it’s unfair that Mobius didn’t realize the ramifications of what he was saying at the time. but i can’t help but think of Mobius just standing there on the street. Don’s street. a street where he doesn’t belong. haunted by that conversation.

Formal request that as of the Loki season 2 ending we rename the Citadel at the End of Time to the Citadel at the Heart of Time.

Party because it is now in the centre not at the end and mostly because it was Loki’s heart and love and sacrifice that allowed it to form at all.

Mobius: ...I need Loki, who remains...

Loki :OK

Loki, who remains:

SHUT THE FUCK UP ???????

Good evening, Lokius nation! I offer you meta, and theories based in meta.

I don’t have the fortitude to crosspost this long thread to tumblr and certainly not before episode 2x04 drops. But you may read it on Twitter if you wish.

OR — PROBABLY BETTER —

As a scrollable article here :)

A sad ending where Loki becomes the new He Who Remains and visits Mobius on his timeline life to watch him from afar. He visits everyone just to see them. They belong to their places and he won't ruin it for them as much as he misses them.

When Loki hit rock bottom and was at a loss as to what he needed to do in favour of the impossible task he was set out to rectify he went to the only person he knew would show him the way. Mobius's wise counsel was all Loki needed to pinpoint and strengthen the firmness of his glorious purpose. This is one of the most special memories that'll be etched on Loki's heart for all eternity.

I don't wanna repeat what others said or gifed. We all watched the same thing, we just process it differently. And that's okay. That's the power of art and fiction. And I don't claim my point of view to be in any way unique. Au contraire, I know and I hope I'm not alone

For a couple of nights now when I lie in bed and fall asleep, I imagine that someone kind, wise and loving watches over me. I'm an atheist and agnostic but I'm this close to believe in Yggdrasil being the true shape of the known universe and Loki in its core holding it all together. There aren't many stories that would impact my imagination that way, so to me that's impressive.

I never expected a Marvel series or movie to go this deep. Not because it's a superhero franchise but because Marvel never really allowed it. From the beginning they tried to make things easier to understand and to pack into a movie length sequence. In my personal opinion, Tom Hiddleston added depth with his brilliant performance and delivery in every scene and shot like no one else in the entire franchise, but I'm a long time fan and I am obviously biased. I think now that in Thor his performance was a tool to show Loki's otherness but it quickly became a key to this character. He could go differently about the scene with Odin or the scene with Thor on the Bifröst, but he didn't and thus determined Loki's future.

This journey was chaotic and truly Loki's. Closing this chapter feels significant. It's also finally satisfying though in a bittersweet way. But cinema is meant to make you feel real emotions, art is meant to do that. The appreciation of something is possible because of how the absence of that thing feels.

The combo of cinematography, special effects, music and cast couldn't be more perfect and reached peak in season 2. There are some good quotes and noticeable dialogues, but the most important things lay in the moments of silence, in the movements of faces and bodies, in the framing of a shot. You don't need to name things out loud for them to exist. You have to sit and reflect and define those things yourself, for yourself. This way the artist compliments the viewer's intelligence.

Okay I finally watched the episode and I have several feelings so here we go...

If you haven't watched the show, stop reading. (Though I hope you have blocked the spoilers tag, if not it's your own fault..don't come at me)

Am I dying every second thinking about him being alone there for eternity? Obviously 😭

But am i stupid or delusional enough to think he won't make a comeback in the next Avengers movie? No.

I don't think those people can fight kang without loki, they would at some point need his help because he's literally the most powerful god out there now.

Coming back to the episode there's not much I cared about, I probably wouldn't have blinked if ob, b15 or Casey would have died..didn't care about them at all if I was being honest and it's not the character's fault.

As much I hated the ship (because god forbid two male characters are friends in any show these days because they have to be lovers otherwise it's homophobia.. remember when bromance existed? Good times)

Mobius had a good character development that began in season 5 and continued this season unlike Sylvie who started as such a badly written selfish character that the only way they could have fixed it this season was to completely sideline her, which thankfully they did. The smirk and smile at the end even knowing that she may never get to see Loki again? (Yeah just die already).

Hopefully I'll never have to see her again.

Coming back to Loki (my precious baby love) i know his arc ended on a bittersweet note (that smile at the end just warmed my heart like never before) and it's more bitter for me than sweet because I can't handle the thought of him being so lonely because this is not what he wanted or deserved but then I think about Loki who died via strangulation and I'm like fuck everything, this is definitely much better than that ending.

Personally I think with time he's going to grow and learn to control this new power (or he could just clone himself and use him in a way? Idk Marvel can do anything) but I can feel it in my bones that this is not the end of him (unless ofcourse Tom is done with him and won't return for future projects)

That being said, Loki is alive and sure he is alone at the moment but he's a hero now, he has more than redeemed himself and he can finally forgive himself for everything that he didn't do right, perhaps this is what he needed to find that sense of purpose he has been looking for all his life. Hopefully he'd see himself as the god that he always was.

A man that was always ridiculed for his selfishness and narcissism chose to save the multiverse by sacrificing his freedom, by giving up his own free will. He chose everything he didn't want, a throne and what seemed like eternal solitude (but hopefully not)..a man of actions indeed. His arc reminds me of Tony in a way and that's beautiful.

Wherever you go, it's just death, destruction, the literal ends of worlds!

Uhhhhhuh? Look what my boy just did for the whole fucking multiverse.

I'm just trying to see the silver lining here that he's alive and he's the moment..he's everything, he literally became the most powerful being to ever exist in mcu and that gives me hope for him…he'd come back. Kang's arc started with him and they'd need him when the time comes. If not I got my fanfiction powers 🤣 (He deserves to find the sort of love that would stay by his side even if he's all that person would ever get)

Thank God they changed the writers this season and fixed somewhat of the mess they had made of this majestic, ethereal god last time.

Overall yeah my heart is breaking for him but look at him..he's the moment, he's the king of the multiverse, he's everything.
