Kang Created the MCU.
You didn’t alluded to when Ravonna left to wherever, also the fact the Mobius didn’t recognize Loki, was he brainwashed again or was he another variant of Mobius??!!
when He who Remains said Ruler I was thinking of Kang's time as Rama-Tut
How about in the MCU, Kang is a Descendant of Reed, Tony, AND Doom!
@@pollodesvealdo Ravonna has gone back in time to found the TVA with an earlier version of Kang/He Who Remains. The data obtained by Miss Minutes being all the information about what went on in the citadel at the end of time until the point at which HWR runs out of knowledge on how his encounter with Sylvie and Loki goes down.
I like how Ravonna was a school principal. Nothing screams “petty tyrant” like being a school administrator
@Jewel Castle her saying "eons" also is not quite telling since time moves differently in the TVA. Eons could mean anything. It's just a placeholder meaning a long time in that sentence. Realistically she probably has no idea how long she's been at the TVA or how long they've been friends.
@@693gamefreak exactly time moves different in the tva hence when they haven’t aged if they lived for “eons”
@Jewel Castle B15 went to 2018 to show TVA soldiers that's Renslayer is also just a variant. Of course that's not Renslayer since Renslayer is the variant, while the person who was there still stayed on the Sacred Timeline.
@Jewel Castle she time traveled and arrested sylvie 1000 years ago. Not the same as being 1000+ years old
@Jewel Castle but time doesn't flow the same in the TVA
And Thanos thought HE was inevitable. Kang is a living paradox - a Nexus being who will always discover multiverse travel and will always bring war, no matter the timeline
But here is the real question, when exactly in the past or future did that future happen where Kang comes from? Was that future the result of the future created by Thanos' snap?
A dont get it twisted buddy, theres a universe where thanos wins.....its called Thanos WINS.....
@@DarkManSonian my bet is that it's the Avengers' fault or maybe just Steve's fault
@@FelipeSalesGuitar I think the timeline was fractured when Thanos first used the stones, then when he used them again and then when Hulk did it and then Tony, thats 4 times using 6 of the most powerful items in each univers. This is what led Nathaniel Richards to study that timeline and figure out the way to travel thru dimensions.
@@DarkManSonian u my sir, deserve a cooked meal.....u are kinda right....
All this happened because they didn’t let the hulk in the elevator.
TECHNICALLY bc the Avengers did the time heist...
Nah all this happened because Tony wanted cap and Scott to meet him out back AFTER he grabbed a bite
But this was supposed to happen.
Technically....happened because of the rat in Endgame
It happened because out of all the scenarios, this was the one that got approved by the benevolent Kang to happen. That’s the whole point.
These Lokis caused a multiversal-scale Ragnarok! Sylvie has completely earned the title of Goddess of Chaos
Ohhhh I like the name
@@tinacorbet4705 me too
I miss hela
I really do feel bad for Loki… he’s all by himself at the TVA with everyone he cared for gone or reset
And the 1 person he truly loved betrayed him
@@funfactor4528 I think Sylvie protect Loki by push him into a safe place and let her finish the job
It’s not a reset, Mobius in the two scenes near the ending was two different individuals, the one saying “there’s no turning back” is the one we’ve known, and the second one who couldn’t recognize Loki was another Mobius in another universe. The proof is that the first Mobius’s hair was messy and his tie was loose, but the second Mobius’s hair was fine and so was his tie was nicely tied. This was subtle but if you’d go back and watch, you’ll see the difference is clear enough. So I’m pretty sure the first Mobius is still in the TVA where there are three timekeepers statues.
@@LokiAndLoiDontGiveADamn Thank you for the 411. It helps to better understand this.
@@verycurious9716 there’s much to read upon this, and although many possible theories could be or not be realized in season two, the one that is almost certain are these: Another TVA exists in another universe means that unlike that citadel which exists completely outside all time and space and everything, TVA is not. TVA exists inside one universe, only outside the time and space within that universe (likely realized by advanced tech). My understanding is that every version of Kang created a TVA or something similar, that’s why when he demonstrating his past and the multiversal war, four Kang were fighting each other with the same prune device that TVA agents use. The one difference that this benevolent Kang outlived the other Kangs is he managed to allied with the Alioth. When he talked about the short peace between different Kang, I think there might have been four of them (four major one, of course technically there should be an infinite amount of him), that’s why we saw four statues in the citadel. The worst one’s statue likely got destroyed after the war began, the very same one that stands inside the second TVA. So the three timekeepers may not be some random androids, but based on some existed versions of Kang. (And lastly, that citadel likely existed within one universe, and it only got extracted from time and space of one universe AFTER the benevolent Kang won the multiversal war). Hope these are not too confusing 😂
“He’s a friend from work” is a hilarious line they included.
It should have been: Get help! My brother needs help! Help him!
The story of how that line came to be makes it even more awesome!
@@davidcarrillo705 What's the story?
@@eemilee91 It's from Thor: Ragnarok. Awesome movie. Epic line!
I also love how Loki and Sylvie are portrayed like Yin and Yang, Sylvie having dark clothes and blond hair, and Loki having light shirt and dark hair...
Anyone else notice how Loki and Sylvie both have the exact same postures when they are still? Seated, standing, always the same unless in motion. I see it as a silent call out to free will. We are all the same until we make a choice.
I really like how they made Loki realize his flaws in the first episode and then he falls for a version of himself he idealized as "without flaws" just because she didn't share the same flaws. And how he didn't expect the same backstab from her that Boastful Loki, then President Loki and then the Loki Army commited in the last episode
@@cirospedale7511 OMG you're so right. This comment should be pinned
@@cirospedale7511 She didn’t backstab him.
@@captlanc she threw him through a tempad portal so she could undermine his desires despite agreeing to work together, that's textbook betrayal
@@ToastLabs Undermine his desires? Well, he was going to undermine her desire to kill Kang, which was a thing they had previously agreed upon, how about that. But that wasn’t him betraying her either. They didn’t betray each other, they had an conflict of interest and Sylvie won.
I just want to take a second to appreciate Loki and his growth over six episodes. Even though this Loki didn't go through the arc that the original one did with Dark World and Ragnarok, it's been just so satisfying to see him come so far, even if it seems it wasn't good enough. But oh well, we've got the movies coming ahead and all of Season 2. I'm thoroughly stoked.
Like seeing a movie with them in it and then getting to reading a book about them
Loki, agent of Asgard
His next mcu appearance in doctor strange I believe so it’ll have 3 different types of sorcery with strange wanda and Loki and possibly more
Agreed which explains why he didn't know how to do enchant and Silvy did
Late to this - But - Loki did watch his mother die and watched Thanos destroy Loki / Asgardians (when he plays the video). That said, I think is reformed, and he will meet up with Thor again.
I love that in episode 4 when Sylvie killed the Timekeeper you could faintly hear “See… you… soon” in the background. Those were also the last words that He Who Remains uttered. A reminder that even though she thinks she killed the one who was behind it all, stopping Kang is not that simple
I wonder how they'll try to stop his loop
And like Tom Hiddleston said It never ends
Almost like the end is the beginning and will loop back.
Kang was right, sylvie should have became the dictator
@@butler7962 Sylvie was made to not become a dictator.
This is one reason why i love the mcu so much. They add so many small details that lead up to everything and makes it connect everything together in such a beautiful way
can we all acknowlegde the fact that all this happened because tony's elevator had reached maximum capacity
That had to have happened in the original timeline though. The variance was Tony trying to time heist the tesseract. He must've forgot that Hulk busted the door down...;-/
Going back further this happen because -wanda didnt kill vision sooner Or -thor didnt aim for the head And -starlord had too many feelings
It all happened because of the rat in the beginning of Endgame
@@hon2945 if yall are gonna push it that far you can just straight up say if their parents hadn’t met this wouldn’t have happened.
“What is grief but … Love Persevering” God damn Paul Bettany. Couldn’t even imagine him as a Superhero type even after Legion but before Ultron.
He is absolutely class in Legion
Ohhhhh.. for anyone else about to hit up google, Paul Bettany was in a 2010 movie called Legion, not the more recent X-Men show that was on FX.
I hope this Loki manages to get in the main MCU timeline and appear as a hero of the multiverse alongisde Wanda and Strange
I think he is set up for a great hero turn should he use free will to choose that. :-)
I think loki will go to meet dr.strange
@@mallucommenter4071 me too. I think he is gonna have to do the frantic burst into the Sanctum Santorum and explain this mess to Dr. Strange like Bruce did when Thanos was on the way. Hopefully he has more of a head start than that...
hopefully his appearance in the multiverse of madness does that for him! god he deserves it
This would be a dream 💘💘 is what he deserves
When Kang said "Not quite what you were expecting, huh?" = nod to the Matrix when Neo first met the Oracle.
I also felt a deja vu (haha) related to the Matrix, but actually to the scene with the Architect (from Matrix Revolutions): In both cases He Who Remains / The Architect are sitting there, babbling about the universe and the part of their listeners in it, dropping in pretentious words (ergo / hence), and boring us to death in a scene which is way too long.
The fourth Time Keeper statue is the banished Time Keeper the Oracle of Siwa just a comic book Easter egg for the fans at this point unless they start to elaborate.
This show has made loki my favorite character in the mcu. Literally couldn't be more excited for season 2!
Same not gonna lie. More character growth in 6 episodes over 1.5 months than ive seen in his last decade in the mcu and it was wonderful
Still like Sylvie better. JAJAJA But technically, she is a Loki so.
When will the second season be released?
@@fahadbinislam2344 marvel said they will start filming it at the beginning of next year so probably really late 2022 or in 2023
@@corbingray9330 Aw😕☹️ So long.
Do u think we’ll get to see Owen Wilson ride a jet ski in season two
ASKING THE REAL QUESTIONS
YES YES YES!!!! And he'll be saying.... "WOOOWW" The whole time 😂😂😂
Maybe
They better listen to the fans on this one. WE NEED THAT JET SKI!!!
If the series ends after season 2, then definitely. Marvel knows what fans want and they will deliver.
So, "What if" is now "This is how things actually are in those new branches". We thought that that series would be about crazy timelines, but maybe they want to show us how the multiverse actually looks like from a certain perspective
clever thought. I like it.
"People assume that time is a strict progression of cause to effect, but *actually* from a non-linear, non-subjective viewpoint - it's more like a big ball of wibbly wobbly... time-y wimey... stuff."
So this is like the biggest event on MCU. Way bigger than Thanos. Mcu is forever changed.
Yes kang makes thanos look like an annoying little ant
This opens up the MCU wide open. Anyone can come back as variants, any crossover from different universe, new universe will be introduced from FOX acquisition like X-Men. This one series does all of that.
All the "ugh Endgame was the real end, I'm not watching anything else after" fans are stepping back on their words
@@peace4myheart Time works differently on the Fox universe, in Days of Future Past and Deadpool 2 the past alters the future. I doubt this universe will crossover with the MCU (except Deadpool, because he's Deadpool).
@@Anonymous-ve7pi Im just so Happy that they told this incredible complicated story in TV show. If this was made into a movie. there wouldve been alot of cuts. Loving these Disney shows. LOKI was the best imo. becuz what just happened is the biggest event in the MCU. the Snap was nothing. it was written. now its pure chaos. How do you fix something like this. How do you stop Kang? this seems impossible. If i were Dr. Strange, i would resign. like fuck this. im going teach in medical school.
I love how they were sitting similarly, both with their swordd across their laps.
But only one of them has 2 sugars.
their entire parallel in mannerisms across the entire episode was so endearing especially when miss minutes appears and they both faces her with their sword angled the same way ahh i love them
Mobius isn’t scared of Thor because thunder always comes after Lightning
Ka'chow
Ah it's a Cars reference
What a reference I still remember McQueen telling Chick that he is thunder
kachigga! kachigga!
Did you just wait to put it somewhere? It isn't even remotely related to this video.
I wanted the door to open to ‘He who remains’ and Deadpool to be sitting there. ‘Hi guys! Glad you could join me. It’s gotten kinda boring here all by myself.’
I was thinking this as well 😂
The windows behind Immortus are also aligned perfectly at times to be a Micky head
9:27 ;)
It was Mickey all along, without him no Disney+, without that no Loki series
An ancient symbol. hahahaha
It's not immortus
@@Kdot6_16 It absolutely is Immortus.
Theres a moment when Kang says "are you dissapointed?" and looks at the camera. A nod to the angry nerds
Honestly? I'm terribly disappointed with the ending. But not because of Kang, but rather because it was really an awfully hard choice and we were left with a cliffhanger. Mobius not recognizing Loki felt like a dagger into my heart :/.
Ah yes nothing like purposely making your fans upset
Look whom I found! Omg! Small world Revujo! I love you fan-art(s) especially for one piece Keep up the good work man!
@@JoelMoore-cf6gr Whereas simply meeting fan expectation leads to crap because fans are not creative enough to write good content - that's why fanfic is considered a pejorative.
@@igordasunddas3377 All of these shows leave with a cliffhanger because it'll be connected to future movies. Literallyy something MCU has done ever since the start in postcredits. I'm not sure what you were expecting, this isn't something new, this is something MCU fans enjoy. All of that built to Endgame and all of this will be building to something too, something like Secret Wars, perhaps.
in the school part of the episode it has posters with “Let’s go Tigers!” The same posters and mascot as the school Peter Parker is in. Also it now makes sense how Spider-Man into the spider verse could have actually happened. Multiple Spider-Mans coming from different worlds/ timelines. Could match up idk
Peter Parker is a New Yorker so it would be a different school
The CAMERA is actually rotating clockwise, causing the IMAGE to rotate counterclockwise.
I knew we were in for a ride when the intro started with all the old dialogue!!!
Literally just sitting here for the last hour after watching the finale, waiting for this upload.
Same!
You and me both!
Facts I like his and the new rockstars one lol
I do the same but for Charlie from Emergency Awesome. He is so knowledgeable and passionate and his break downs are even better. Check him out.
I’d suggest his reference to being called a ruler is an homage to his persona as Rama-Tut
No
Who we may see pop up in the Eternals as the true villain of that movie?
@@YGS26480 The Deviants are the villains
You forgot to mention that in the end of the episode, Mobius said to B15 "there's no turning back now", to which she replied "who said anything about turning back?", to which Mobius looked away looking a bit concerned. Which means that much like Loki, Mobius also had his share of doubt of whether or not breaking the multiverse lose was the best option. Which could be interpreted as the fact that they've come to be such good friends they even think alike
7:33 when I saw that while watching the show it kinda scared me not gonna lie it almost made me think that clock lady is the true villiain
I am unbelievably hyped for season 2
When will it come out?
@@Dark-ki7lf soob
And the rest of the mcu
When is season 2? Anybody have a tentative time? Thanks in advance
I didn’t even know there was going to be a season 2. So glad since this has been the best and will be the most important Disney+ series yet.
Such a great breakdown. Plus, I live how you cite your sources when people throw ideas your way.
In "The Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes" animated series, season 1, episode 17 - Kang returns from the 41st century to erase Captain America from the timeline because he created a time anomaly by returning to life after being frozen.
It also fits that Slyvie (a Loki) set off the apocalypse as it's the purpose of Loki in Norse Mythology
Technically our Loki in the MCU caused Ragnarök too. He dipped Surtur's crown in the eternal flame, which is how Surtur gained the power to destroy Asgard. Those pesky Loki's always seem to want to cause apocalypses, no wonder they like to hang out in them.
Kang welcomed death like it was his dentist. This guy is villain villain i got chils the entire time; I can't wait to see his varriants.
I wish I got chills from his performance like you did, but It just wasn't grabbing me. I don't doubt Jonathan's acting, but it just wasn't landing for me.
Clearly you have never been to the dentist.
Kang was right, sylvie should have become the dictator, i dont think the one who remains was really a villian
@@JdeMolay i've been. where did you go?
@@sgcastle8389 A place that is unwelcome.
Speaking of Swan Lake: the orchestral piece of music in the opening is the finale of Act I from Swan Lake.
Ooh you’re right, good catch!
when miss minutes jumpscared everyone i screamed "YES" so hard. (mainly bc i wanted to hear Tara Strong's regional accent again)
So, when Sylvie killed the Timekeeper and the branch started to bloom creating The Multiverse of Madness, with all of that chaos expanding, at the same time in chronological order Scarlet was in her house arrest studying the Darkhold when she listened to her kids (fresh from a new branch) prompting her to go to them? Or am I reaching to much?
Its not that the thought is reaching. Its that the TVA and the "End of Time" means that all time has already happened and that the loop timeline we get to see has all moments from all of history playing at once concurrently. So you are correct, but from the Mansion at the end of time, the moment of Wanda reading the Darkhold is literally happening every second, forever and for always.
@@kyled.vaughan5435 makes even more sense actually. Time moves concurrently to Kang. But every nexus being will be able to feel the multiverse break at different points in their own lives, triggering merging of realities. Makes perfect sense tbh. Hope you're right
its kinda obvious that is whats happenning
I don’t get it
What doesn't make sense is why would killing Kang there in the citadel have any effect on the timeline? The TVA was still operating and going and pruning variants. All Kang was doing was sitting in his big castle in space somewhere at the end of time. Being a mortal how was he able to live that long anyway? How did he get food and where did he take a dump and all that other normal human function stuff to stay alive? Did everyone in the 31st century live that long and if so why was he not challenged by them? I get he was supposed to be the MCU's version of Immortus (the good version of Kang) but without all the comic book trappings like his big hat and Fu Manchu mustache.
It was only a month ago that Jonathan Majors claimed he wasn't making a cameo in Loki 😌
Technically it’s not a Cameo, he’s gonna be a major player in season 2.
NDAs. They didn’t want the surprise ruined
What did you expect? For him to tell you to expect to see him in the finale? All actors lie - it’s literally what they do for a living.
That wasn't a cameo it was a minor role. So what he said was true from a certain point of view :v
We have been fooled! And good thing he didnt spoil it xDD
A key note about the kintsugi(also kintsukuroi, and the term i prefer personally) castle - The idea behind the golden repair is to appreciate that just because something is broken does not mean it should be discarded; infact it is even more beautiful because it has survived the trials it's been through. So to finish off the episode with a "broken" Sylvie, watching a shattered timeline, sitting alone in a castle made of kinsugi is visual symbolic usage to the absolute MAX
that Japanese art you mentioned has some meaning: taking something that is old and broken and, with skill, not only putting it back together, but making something new and more beautiful, stronger than it was before. Works as a good analogy to He Who Remains' mission to combine the many timelines into one and make something better, the new timeline that doesn't have war.
I like how how heavily he had to cut Kang's monologue in the middle of the vid because of how much chewing Majors was doing on the scenery.
Best MCU series hands down.
I've seen Falcon, WandaVision and Loki and while the two former were great, Loki was stellar. Though the ending was really not satisfying at all - even in comparison to the other two.
@@igordasunddas3377 Setting up Marvel's future for the next decade wasn't a good enough ending for you?
@@braedeng8714 they're saying that independently, the finale was weak. All of us don't watch every movie/show just to see how it links to the rest of the MCU. As a self-contained story you're left wondering what even was the point of it coz we watched 6 episodes of Loki and got zero answers. It _really_ missed the satisfying factor. I'm sure the brilliant writers could've thought of a way to give a suitable pseudo-ending to this substory of Loki while setting up Kang as the big bad but instead they sacrificed Loki's story for Kang's. We're gonna (hopefully) keep seeing Kang for a while now but it'll prolly be at least 2 yrs till we're able to see how Sylvie, Renslayer, Hunter B-15, and maybe even Loki's stories conclude.
The swan lake reference- they are literally wearing black and white
Literally......literally. ...like so literally
@@mattfoley4128 You're gonna have plenty of TIME to wear literally black and white...when you're living in a blank down by the blank.
Great job on the series Ryan! The knowledge, background, and ideas you have provided have been such a pleasant addition to my enjoyment of Loki.
9:27…The things you miss when you only listen to the audio.
Was I the only one who freaked out when Miss Minute suddenly pops up? Honestly I was so scared😅 And she also looked a lot more evil and not so sweet anymore..😷
She still might be. We don't know where she led Rovonna, but I have a feeling it will be to an evil Kang.
Kang was actually fairly just in that he guided each Loki to the reality of their choosing. Sylvie got to live in the timeline where she kills Kang, and Loki got to stay within the safety of the Kang-governed "sacred time loop". Furthermore, they could have shared a timeline together if that is what they had truly wanted.
When that shot of Loki and Sylvie with the crack between them came, I paused and was like, "Hrmmm... interesting shot. It already shows the fracture between how they're reacting to the situation". Literally seconds afterwards, Ryan : So, you notice how Sylvie and Loki are framed with a crack between the 2 of them, to show their divide ? Man, I love your channel !
I liked how the time-line was shown going behind the tower and splitting after it came out the other side.
I totally want a Disney+ show of Captain America returning all the time stones.
That's why I'm excited about the What If... series, you can hammer out all kinds of fun stories and just need some voice acting work
6 Episodes. A stone per episode. End Credits Scene of him returning the Hammer to Thor but it is Jane Foster Thor.
Sadly Chris Evans will never return as Steve Rogers so it will never happen except in what if
That'd be boring as a show
@@Kdot6_16 people enjoy paint drying so people can enjoy very boring things
Did anyone else get Tim Burton's Planet of the Apes vibes with the Kang statue reveal at the end?
No, the Kang statue reveal seemed interesting dramatically.
I got LOST vibes lol
I thought it was amazing. The show could have just ended on a shot of timelines splintering, but showing an actual Kang with his TVA? That's just genius
Thank you Ryan for all of the work you've put into these MCU show breakdowns. It's added another element of enjoyment to these viewing experiences.
I’m glad y’all deciphered the sound bytes from the opening title! That was the first thing I thought of when I heard it, lol.
For anyone confused: sylvie kills he who remains, a Kang variant responsible for keeping all the evil variants of Kang in check and avoiding the multiverse war. Now that he is dead, the multiverse springs wild, freeing the Kang the Conqueror variant set to be our next big bad MCU villain. Since he is free, he goes on to conquer all of time and the TVA. A lot of people are saying sylvie sends Loki to a different tva, but that’s wrong. THERES ONLY ONE TVA. When loki returns to the tva, reality has already been changed since the tva is located outside of time. Kang the conqueror’s influence has already been set. He now rules the tva, hence his statue in place of the 3 time keepers. It’s the same tva he was in before, it’s just now ruled by evil Kang the Conqueror.
Then why didn’t mobius know who he was??
@@donnihonig this is where the "time is a flat circle" thing comes in. The second Majors was killed by Sylvie, it changed all of time which is why Majors even said "See you soon" right before she stabbed him. The split second Sylvie killed Majors it's like he was never there and it looks like Kang (or another variant) has been in charge the entire time...you can see when Mobius and Hunter B are talking and they specifically say "And he just wants us to let it happen?" when referring to all the timelines. I imagine Loki is a bit special right now and that he's "outside of time" and quite possibly is the only being in the entire universe who actually understand what happened.
I'd actually thought they were going to show that he was in the wrong part of the TVA, and talking to the wrong Mobius, since it's so impossibly big.
Actually no, the TVA at the end is just another one made by another Kang from another timeline and so are the characters in it
That kiss was the best build up and I loved it so much
same
I really like how when Kang so both Loki's he got the answer to his end scenario that he gave them,, of how the meeting would end, which was option C all of the above above, showing that even he could still be surprised
Kintsugi is not really a symbolic of wealth and power, but that there's beauty in broken things and embracing what is flawed and imperfect. No matter how bad it gets broken, it can be fixed and still beautiful even more so due to the random nature of patterns created. Very fitting within his own speech.
I've never been more impatient for a breakdown ever! Thanks Ryan!
The fight between Loki and Sylvie with Kang watching them was a reference to Star Wars when Darth Vader and Luke fought and Palpatine was watching them
6:21 missed a great opportunity to point out the visual similarity to the Stargate sequence from 2001: A Space Odyssey
I like that you added user comments into the breakdown video and comment/talk about them seamlessly throughout. No other breakdown channels/vids do this enough and it would be nice too see comments play a bigger part in your future breakdowns! Love the channel and keep up the great work!! 👍👏

@@Getwright- exactly. Most are click bait at best. Canadian Lad is worth a sub though. You'll love his work!
When the timeliness branched in the end it reminded me of the tree of worlds from the Norse myths. Maybe Odin had something to do with the timeliness as well and also the fact that the MCU is full of small details and large ones from those. Very same myths.
Tony's quote "love you 3000", 31st century starts the year 3001. That whole "Tony might be the ancestor" theory might hold some water
I love that you put things that you might not know rather than just things you know
Season 2 is gonna be a rollercoaster as Loki ends up in an alternate TVA. Hands down this was epic all of it.
Tony didnt INVENT time travel, why does everyone say this?. He only refined navigating it. Ant Man discovered the means, Bruce did the R&D, and Tony added the final touch. it was a team effort.
tony stark = Thomas Edison
@@bewimotos Spot on!
Ryan, thank you! I love knowing every time that I watch a Marvel show I can come here and understand everything better! Thank you so much
I picked up the Madiba quote during that opening of the show, was so excited about that.
I KNEW IT WAS STEVE ROGER ALL ALONG
i understand that refrence
If you look at Sylvie’s face at the end after she puts the blade through Kang’s chest that she realized he really wasn’t lying to her and Loki.
To be fair even if he was telling the truth and sylvie knew it, it was an incredibly hard decision to make, especially since her whole arc is about finding freedom in her actions and choices
Kang was right, sylvie should have become the dictator

I have to watch this again tonight because Majors performance is so incredibly manic, I can't get enough of it.
7:33 When I first watched the episode, miss minutes nearly gave me a heart attack with that jumpscare. She creeped the hell out of me too with that look and those giant unmoving eyes she laid on loki and sylvie. Normally, I expected something like that to happen, but I lost my focus, and I despise that time demon even more now
The citadel isn't damaged and remade. Marvel stated the whole thing is carved out of an asteroid.
Thanks for pointing out the Alan Watts reference in the beginning. It’s amazing almost 50 years after his death he is so meta.
The way you read "João Nunes" was HILARIOUS lol
The intro is my second favorite intro!!(After the Black Widow intro)
Been waiting all day for this to come out!
Amazing breakdown, as always! Thank you!
Thanks Ryan for a great breakdown of the whole show. The first think I did after watching every episode was rushing over here lol. 🙏
At the start of the episode, the floating island in the “void” is shaped like an odd face. Almost looks like it has a false beard like Rama Tut, one of the versions of kang
Kang's edifice looks more quarried from one single piece or marble with veins of mineral evident, rather than cracks repaired with grout.
Holy shizzle i didn't even notice the alan watts quote in the beginning of the episode!!!! My mind is blown rn. I can't believe that and I can't belive you're talking about alan watts on your show I've been listening to his lectures and reading his books for years!! Shout out to marvel for putting that in the show and thank you for putting that in your easter egg video screencrush!
Excellent job breaking up all the soundbites in the beginning!!
In the Avengers Earth's Mightiest Heros animated series, when Kang showed up he said it was because Captain America wasn't supposed to be here and he caused the destruction of Earth in the future.
I never read comic books, so it's great to get this kind of insight!
WandaVision: it was Agatha All Along FATWS: it was Sharon All Along Loki: it was Kang All Along is this gonna be the new marvel trend edit: no, IT IS the new marvel trend 🙂
So Kang the Conqueror=He who remains?
@@Ryan-jo6qh a version of him I suppose
Great breakdowns!
My absolute FAVORITE thing about your reviews, is how you bother giving credit to where you have found the ideas... And how you show the collection of information process that you go through. It is transparent, and it is beautiful. And selfless, and shows how you care about the fun in the shows & movies, and maybe even in the comics, and how you actually uphold the values that those stories tell us. Especially the positive ones. Kudos to you, good sir. Keep on keeping on, never stop never stopping 👌🤙
to me, "narcissistic" was more of a callback to Mobius talking about how narcissistic Loki is for literally falling in love with a varient of himself and establishing similarity between Kang and Loki
The people who disliked are paul and his variants
Why I oughtaaa!!!!?
@@heavyspoilers lol
@@heavyspoilers Hey, put a good word in for me with Paula will ya?
it always be your own smh
Best breakdown 👏👏 awesome video 👍👍
Great episode Ryan and team.
finally
In the scene where B-15 is in the classroom with a non-TVA version of Ravonna, the Ohio State University plaque on the wall behind B-15 has the real Ravonna's name that reads "Rebecca Courminet". Does that name have any significance?
It's Ravonna's another name
@@Saba-xv2kv but is there an important character in the comics with that name or it's just a random name? I'm sure it's the latter but since we're always getting hints from different Easter eggs in the movies/series, it's good to be sure.
@@colealbinder2980 It's a name that the comics version of Ravonna has sometimes used.
Pretty sure that last name is "Tourminet". In fancy/old-style fonts they use for diplomas and such, the capital C's and T's are often very similar looking, but T's have a little tail at the top which this one does.
It's a name she has used in the comics.
[ 15:04 ] The final scene in He who remains' office reminded me the conflict in the Garden of Eden. Loki and Sylvie as Adam and Eve and "He who remains" as Satan. There are some other hints like: he was eating an apple in the entire scene, he told them he was expecting one person to take the spot and turned out the person came in two (Eve was created out of Adam's rib), he offered to give them the knowledge and the possibility to rule the universe as gods, and finally the female was the trigger of the schism and disorder of the world (like Eve falling in temptation by eating the forbidden fruit ). I think it's quite an allegory of that story.
