The Ending of the Loki Series Explained!!
The ending of the Loki series got many Marvel fans confused. If you are the one that got confused, we got you covered up.
At the end of the series, we were able to see that Sylvie killed He Who Remains. This causes the timeline to branch out in a rapid way.
After the incident, Loki finds himself at the Time Variance Authority (TVA) office once again. Upon reaching there, he gets confused. And rushes through offices to find Agent Mobius. When he finds Mobius, he starts explaining what happened.
But Agent Mobius doesn't have any idea regarding what he is saying. As a matter of fact, Mobius doesn't even recognize who Loki is.
Then, Loki turns toward the center of the archive room only to find out that the statue of He Who Remains has replaced the statue of the Time Keepers. And this means he has ended up in a different timeline.
The Bond Between Loki and Sylvie
One of the most talking points about the series was the relationship between Loki and Sylvie. The new character Sylvie who debuted in MCU is one of the variants of Loki. So it is fair to say that she is a female version of Loki herself. But while spending time with each other, Loki and Sylvie develops a bond with each other.
Loki and Sylvie even go on to kiss each other. That sounds quite weird. Kissing your own variant is definitely a weird thing. The fact that Loki and Sylvie kissed each other, we can assume that Loki is in love with himself. Talking about Loki's female variant brings an interesting question.
