He’s tired of keeping the Kangs out, so either they take his place and do his job, or they kill him and all the other Kangs are no longer held from the universe’s door, causing untold chaos. While the show is pretty coy about who Kang is or what his deal is, the overall premise is surprisingly simple - this Kang created the TVA to limit the influence of other Kangs in other multiverses, and so when Loki and Sylvie come to kill him, he doesn’t feel threatened. This is the Time Variance Authority that has been working with Loki to find other Lokis, and in episode four, we already found out that things were not as they seemed, with all of the workers being brainwashed variants whose true identities are being hidden from them. Loki ends with Loki and Sylvie meeting Kang, who they discover is the ruler - some might say conqueror, geddit? - of the TVA.

This is important to remember because the Loki we know has met Doctor Strange, but the Loki in the Disney+ show has not. At this point, after a Sliding Doors moment caused by time travel shenanigans, that Loki splits into two - he’s not a different character, per se, so much as he is the result of a different future for the same character. That Loki, the one who dies in Endgame, is the exact same person as the TV show’s Loki, right up until the Battle of New York. His mischievous cruelty did not result in the death of his mother - the only person who ever truly loved him - and he did not have his Waititi-directed face turn, nor did he witness the destruction of Asgard or die attempting to kill Thanos. He has not experienced the events of Thor 2, Thor: Ragnarok, or Avengers: Infinity War. The Loki we see in the Loki show is from the first Avengers movie.
There were no rumours or castings with Loki though, so why was Doctor Strange trending after the finale?įirst off, it’s important to remember Loki’s place in the Marvel canon. Phase One of the MCU did this frequently with Nick Fury, and Black Widow recently ended in a similar way to ensure that Yelena is included in the MCU moving forward. We know Elizabeth Olsen is reprising her role as Scarlet Witch in Strange’s sequel, Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, and so many expected a Strange cameo in the finale to link the two stories together. A similar thing happened after the finale of WandaVision, but there it was a little different. After the season finale of Loki on Disney+, Doctor Strange began trending on Twitter, even though Strange does not appear in the episode, Strange is never mentioned in the episode, and there are no references to Strange’s overall mythology in the episode.
