Loki
Summary
Despite being the most rife stochastic variable of Loki in the MCU ’s Multiverse Saga , away from Tom Hiddleston ’s original edition of the God of Mischief , Sylvie ’s origin level in the MCUis still something of a mystery . As a tiddler , she was removed from her furcate timeline by the TVA , though escaped before being pruned and send to the Void . Sylvie devote her life history to bringing down the TVA and its enigmatical Maker , the Time Keepers , though set her sights on He Who Remainsafter they were bring out to be a fable . Even though Sylvie’sLokistoryline was certainly emotional , the expose inLokiseason 2 ’s finaleconfused the entire plot of land .
Sylvie is only one Loki variant introduced in the Disney+ series , others let in Richard E. Grant ’s Classic Loki , DeObia Oparei ’s Boastful Loki , Jack Veal ’s Kid Loki , Tom Hiddleston ’s President Loki , and an gator version of the God of Mischief .
How Sylvie’s Pruning Was Part Of He Who Remains' Plan
Sylvie ’s original catch by then - TVA Hunter Ravonna Renslayer was detailed in the opening moments ofLokiseason 1 , episode 4 , " The Nexus result , " providing a little brainwave into Sylvie ’s childhood on Asgard , and explicate exactly how long she had been running from the TVA . However , the question of Sylvie ’s nexus event still has n’t been answered , with Renslayer herself claiming not to remember , but this is perhaps explained by He Who Remains inLokiseason 1 ’s closing curtain . JonathanMajors ' debut as the variant of Kang the Conquerorwas hefty , and suggest that Sylvie ’s timeline may have extend to the emergence of another Kang variant , which could lead to another Multiversal War .
He Who Remains suggested that the event ofLoki- and the MCU as a whole - were part of his grand design , which implies that he ordered the TVA to take Sylvie from her timeline with the knowledge that she would one Clarence Shepard Day Jr. wipe out him . He did this know thatLoki would fall using his time - slew ability , and potentially obliterate Sylvie in ordination to reward He Who Remains ' position as the guardian of the Sacred Timeline . He Who Remains ' plan to have himself killed time and again was puzzling , and extremely unethical as he fashion Sylvie into his own murder weapon , but he did n’t answer for for one major agent .
Problem: Sylvie Made Loki Change Irreversibly
He Who stay on ' program probably rely on the idea that Loki would only look out for himself , and would finally retrieve dispatching of Sylvie very easy , allowing the Kang the Conqueror variance to stay on in his prominent situation overseeing the Sacred Timeline . However , Loki get to change importantly once he met Sylvie at the remnant ofLokiseason 1 , episode 2 , " The Variant . " Sylvie ’s existence and motivating to take down the TVA begins to make Loki dissect exactly why he might want to actually save the TVA and protect the Sacred Timeline , which leads to a sparring between the pair inLokiseason 1 ’s last .
While Sylvie initially make headway this conflict and drink down He Who remain , the Kang edition knew that Loki ’s fourth dimension - slew would bring him back to this menses in time , and suppose that Loki realizing the truth of the Temporal Loom and the risk of the multiverse would convince him to untie his death . Thedevelopment of the family relationship between Sylvie and Loki , however , meant that the latter had been localize on a path of heroism , extend to his realization that He Who Remains did n’t have to supervise the Sacred Timeline , as he himself could follow over the infinite branches of the multiverse , if he was only uncoerced to sacrifice his own freedom .
While He Who Remains expected Loki to kill Sylvie and allow him to continue his piece of work , Loki alternatively settle to forget He Who stay on , and take matters into his own hands . Lokiseason 2 ’s finale saw the titularLoki become a new god in the MCU , gathering the subdivision of the multiverse and standing watch over them from his new position in the wreckage of the Citadel at the End of Time . Loki ’s magic keeps them awake , and the TVA , now not having to erase any branching timeline or prune any form , has been transformed into an organization for good , which all leads back to Loki ’s first encounter with Sylvie .
He Who Remains' Ending In Loki Doesn’t Make Sense
If it ’s true that Loki was change so much that he handle to break complimentary of He Who Remains ' plan , then it ’s also the case that He Who remain was in fact responsible for for his own end , and for his demise not being loosen . All of these events guide back to the TVA originally taking a young Sylvie from her timeline . If this had never befall , He Who stay ' life would never have been put at jeopardy . Sylvie remaining on her timeline would have meant that the Sacred Timeline was never destroy , and Loki never would have become the guardian of themultiverse at the end ofLokiseason 2 .
However , Sylvie remaining on her original timeline could have culminated in the egress of a new strain of Kang the Conqueror and another Multiversal War , but the TVA could have even solved this return by simply delete Sylvie ’s original timeline , avoiding ever add her to the TVA.He Who remain ' total plan was put in place so he could preserve his power , killing Sylvie outright would have ensured this , and would have nullify any of the complexities of his extravagant programme . The TVA did n’t have much of a moral code before Loki ’s appearing , so erasing a timeline to eliminate a dangerous small fry variant sure as shooting would n’t have been an way out .
It seems as though He Who stay underestimated Loki throughout his eponymic Disney+ series , as he put all his faith on the idea that Loki would turn on Sylvie with ease . In fact , Loki ended up sacrificing everything he had ever know so as to ensure his friends ' survival , as he excoriate himself to an eternity of closing off so that his friends , include Sylvie , Mobius , Hunter B-15 , Casey , Ouroboros , and evenKang the Conqueror edition Victor Timely , could live gratis and felicitous lives on any timeline they please . He Who Remains ' confusing programme may have insure the shelter of the Sacred Timeline , butLokiis now protect the entire multiverse .
