8/27/2023 0 Comments Loki episode 3 after creditsWe are, of course, referring to Sylvie’s reveal that the TVA’s agents weren’t actually created by the Time Keepers, but are all variants like she and Loki. “They’re all variants just like us.” Marvel StudiosĪs interesting as Loki Episode 3’s discussions of love are, it’s the TVA revelation in the episode’s final act that ultimately makes the biggest impact. It’s a seed that will, no doubt, pay off by the time Loki Season 1 comes to an end. However, after clumsily attempting to compare the emotion to an “imaginary dagger,” he ultimately ends the episode unsure of what he believes love really is.įor a character who has spent most of his time in the MCU up to this point being evasive and mysterious about his feelings towards even those closest to him, it makes sense that Loki is finally forcing Hiddleston’s God of Mischief to define what he thinks love actually is. Sylvie hypothesizes that love may be nothing more than hate or mischief in the end, but Hiddleston’s Loki doesn’t agree with those theories. We even learn that, according to Sylvie, she’s spent most of her life on the run from the TVA, which just raises even more questions about her history with the organization she aptly refers to as the “boring, oppressive time police.”Īll of this culminates in a discussion between the two characters about, well, love. The pair exchange stories about their childhoods and discuss how they each learned magic. There’s plenty of bickering throughout, and since these are two Loki variants we’re dealing with, more than a few attempted betrayals.īut the more time the two spend together, the more that Loki, as a show, continues its meta exploration of who Loki is as a character (“What exactly makes a Loki a Loki?” Sylvie notably asks at one point). It’s a bond that, at least at first, is pretty heavily indebted to the kinds of Nora Ephron rom-coms and screwball comedies Loki head writer Michael Waldron has previously expressed admiration for. When that ultimately fails and the TemPad is seemingly destroyed (more on that below), their chance at salvation becomes hopping a ride on the “ark” that’s shortly set to depart the planet.Įpisode 3 uses Loki and Sylvie’s journey across Lamentis-1 to establish and begin developing a relationship between the two characters. With Sylvie’s TemPad in need of a desperate recharge, her and Loki’s only hope for escaping the planet’s destruction is in finding an energy source powerful enough to juice up the TemPad again.
