Loki Season 1 Character Details Make His Future After Loki Season 2 Even Sadder

Summary
  • Loki's new role as the God of Stories means he must oversee all his villainous variants, condemning him to an eternity of loneliness.
  • As the God of Stories, Loki will witness his variants commit terrible acts, despite his own journey of redemption and character development.
  • The massive time skip in Loki season 2 was necessary for his tragic ending as it revealed that his role as the God of Stories was inevitable.
Loki season 2 brought the God of Mischief’s story to a surprising and sad end, and there’s one character detail from season 1 that makes his new role in the Marvel Cinematic Universe even sadder. Loki (Tom Hiddleston) had one of the most fascinating character developments in the history of the MCU so far, going from antagonist and villain in Thor and The Avengers, to antihero, ally, and eventually a hero in his solo TV series, Loki.
After the death of the main timeline’s Loki at the beginning of Avengers: Infinity War, the MCU focused on a variant who escaped with the Tesseract after being arrested for the Battle of New York in The Avengers, becoming the star of his own TV series. Loki saw the God of Mischief working alongside the Time Variance Authority, confronting its founder, He Who Remains, and saving the multiverse by making a huge sacrifice that gave his story a tragic ending – and one detail from season 1 now makes his fate a lot sadder.
God Loki Will Have To Oversee All His Villainous Variants After time-slipping for years in search of a way to save the multiverse and the TVA, Loki finally traveled to the moment he met He Who Remains in order to get an answer. Unfortunately, the solution given by He Who Remains still meant that Loki wouldn’t be able to save everyone, so he decided to destroy the Temporal Loop and use his powers to hold all the multiverse’s branched timelines. This turned Loki into a new god, assumed to be the God of Stories, dooming him to an eternity of loneliness as he keeps the branches together in a tree similar to the Yggdrasil from Norse mythology.
This new role in the MCU means that Loki is now overseeing the entire multiverse and its branches, meaning that he will also get a glimpse at his variants. Loki season 2 didn’t see more of Loki and Sylvie’s (Sophia Di Martino) variants, but season 1 included a couple, as Loki came face to face with them in the Void. Loki season 1 showed that most Loki variants were more villainous or, at least, capable of immoral acts due to their role as the God of Mischief, very much like 2012 Loki once was.
Now serving as the God of Stories, Loki will watch the rest of his variants do terrible things in their respective timelines, which is heartbreaking as Loki went through a whole journey of redemption and character development, and he’s now doomed to see other versions of himself do all those harmful things.
Why Loki's Season 2 Ending Proves He Needed Its Timeskip The final episode of Loki season 2 had a massive time skip as Loki spent centuries learning and studying in an effort to save the Temporal Loom, the TVA, and the multiverse, but that was still not enough. Given the structure of time in the TVA, Loki ended up in the same place and time thanks to his time-slipping, with the only difference being that he was wiser and more skilled every time he returned to that moment. This time skip has been labeled as useless by many viewers, but it was necessary for Loki’s ending. The time skip showed that Loki’s new role as God of Stories was inevitable, as he exhausted every possibility and alternative. Loki’s ending is quite complex, and the more it’s analyzed, the more tragic it becomes.
