Welcome to the heavy spoilers show I’m your host Paul and the secret invasion
finale is now sitting at 8% on rotten tomatoes but we’re gonna forget about
that cos the future is bright with the loki season 2 trailer now dropping online.
When we last left the adopted brother of the god of thunder
he’d just reached he who remains with his multiversal variant Sylvie.
Arriving at his castle seeking knowledge he could be seen eating an apple and acting as
a form of temptation for the pair. The Adam and Eve-esque metaphors didn’t stop there
with sylvie casting out Loki after killing this quote unquote god of all time. Loki was
left with a version of the TVA where He Who Remains variant Kang ruled over the agency
and we of course know from Quantumania that there are others messing with the time stream.
That should be you fully caught up and if you like the video then please hit

With that out the way, huge thank you for clicking this now let’s get into Loki Season 2.
-
Now the trailer opens on Ke Huy Quans character who is an inventor. This could be riffing off his
character in the goonies who was also an inventor too. We actually know a fair bit about him from
the plot leaks and rumours. For the first part of the video I wanna breakdown whats apparently
revealed about him in the first episode and though this might not be true you might not wanna know.
So skip ahead about a minute in the video if you don't and we'll
continue without the spoiler heavy stuff there.
3, 2, 1 go go go.
So Can We Get Some Toast posted on instagram recently that Ke Huy Quans character will go
under the name Ourobourus. Incase you don't know this name comes from a snake thats said to eat
its own tail. It represents self destruction and the causal loop that the TVA are currently on.
As he who remains told us this cycle has happened many times before and
the path theyve chosen normally devolves into multiversal war
with He Who Remains coming out on top and destroying the multiverse.
When Mobius goes in he calls him OB so Im guessing that these rumours are indeed true.
Now as for Ourboros himself he's supposed to be the person who creates all of the
TVAs technology which is why we see him in a room that holds many of their items. The
first episode is actually meant to have Loki slipping backwards and forwards in
time and he ends up creating a device that can keep him steady.
In the trailer we see several versions of the TVA with one being a darker one that
could show this is either in the future or past.
We're also meant to learn that he who remains dying has overloaded the time stream and thus
he has to create something known as the time loom to bring it all back together.
Again might not be true but yeah I thought it was worth
talking about cos Can We Get Some Toast is normally pretty accurate.
I think it's important to bring up that Ourobos was also a character
in the null time zone who was a judge in she hulks trial.
Anyway from here we see Loki across different points warping back and forth.
One of them looks like the same location that there were shots of Sylvie at when
she was working at Mcdonalds. We actually see this point later on in the teaser.
This has her name badge along with 5 stars on so well done you love.
I'm loving it, and perhaps she's decided to actually go and just
have a normal life instead of being She Who Remains.
There was a leaked shot of her on the couch had her listening to 70s records,
so I'm guessing it builds off that. She was of course hounded for her whole life by the TVA,
so maybe now she just wants to relax, listen to Abba, and become a Dancing Queen in the 1970s.
You could say she's Bjorn again.
Either way we get another shot of LOki infront of Piranha powersports which I
couldnt find much on. The first season had a way of doing stuff where defunct prodcuts would show
up in variant timelines. So yeah if thats a real place let me know but I coulnt find it at least.
Now an important detail here is that there are jetskis and that might even
be Mobius in the back looking at one. It's difficult to make out but he of
course dreamt of one and this could be from his life before he was snatched.
Now from here we cut to Loki running into another version of himself reading from a TVA manual.
This is symbolic for a number of reasons because it shows that the organisation
obviously hasn't been destroyed. It's also what I'm guessing is a rule book,
cementing that the rules are still in place.
Now I think that this might be iether a future off shoot of him or someone from
the past. Either way him constantly warping back and forth shows he's not
really stuck in a certain place and that he's constantly being torn across time.
This is obviously riffing on the first season though when Hunter
B-15 did it when he was trying to escape. He's clearly stuck
here and being controlled by someone else who we aren't fully aware of.
Either way the TVA is in various states with us getting more dilapidated darker versions.
There is the potential that this could be alternate versions of it out in the
multiverse that Loki is switching between. Either way mans busting out moves that make
him a better dancer than michael jackson and he won't stop until he gets enough.
Which was a Bad pun. Ey.
Now I feel like a lot of the early parts of this season will centre around him trying
to convince the others at the TVA about whats really going on. At the end of Season
1 Mobius had no idea who he was and was even convinced that he was from another department.
-
I feel like we're gonna immediately go from there into the interrogation/questioning thing with Loki
trying to calmly tell them what's going on. I doubt that they're gonna listen though and
thus he's gonna have to show them through force exactly what's going on. I sort of see it being
like a game when you kinda know all the ins and outs of it and can just speed run to the end and
I'm guessing that he's gonna race to the Time Keepers and behead the main one which is why we
get a shot where it's head can be seen on the ground. Also important to bear in mind that
Jonathan Majors voiced these in the series and they sounded similar to his version of Immortus.
-
We then get a shot of sylvie tearing up a vinyl
record likely riffing off that shot that we talked about before.
I really get the feeling that she's tried to go off and have her own life and she's
destroying this record because of how isolated the role can be.
We actually get a shot of the destroyed castle later on in
the teaser with what looks like he who remains body still there.
Sylvie was just sat in a room by herself listening to music completely bored.
This is much in the same way that he who remains had his own office,
it seems like this is where she's now sitting, potentially looking over things.
There's actually a lot of theories going around at the moment that Kate Dickie will appear in
the series as an older version of her. If you jump to the future on the current time stream
then thats gonna bring you into contact with her. So it does make sense from a timey whimey
wibbly wobbly perspective but it's just a theory time...time lord...at the moment.
Also if you wanna support us you can check out our merch store just below the video. We've
linked it up to the channel now so you can buy some theory time merch right from there.
Have a theory you're gonna look the best and that's the one theory time, i've gotten right.
Shabow.

Now we see Loki erasing a mural of the three timekeepers through a tva pruning stick. These
are used to remove alterations in timelines having being made from the essence of Alioth.
However thue can clearly be used to erase things in general and send them all straight to the void.
In the middle of it they’re holding up what would’ve been the sacred timeline
but we can see there’s other branches on it now
showing how due to he who remains being killed that more are allowed.
Destroying the mural shows the true face behind
the timekeepers revealing Kang. You can also catch a severed timekeeper head on
the floor making me think that Loki killed the ones as part the reveal.
Now from this point on Loki and Mobius go into a lift where the latter hits the bottom
button. Guessing this either goes to the time keepers themselves or it may take them to OBs.
Anyway from here we cut to Loki and Mobius arriving at
the Chicagos World fair in what i'm guessing is 1901.
This is real life event in our history and we see them building off the back of the
quantumania post credits scene which showed one of the kang variants we'll be meeting in the series.
That will be Victor Timely with us getting a scene from this season in that films post
credits. In it Loki and Möbius were at a show being presented by Victor Timely,
an alias that Kang went under in the comics.
Arriving back in 1901 he founded the town of timely and built himself up
as a central figure there. Secretly working in robotics he started to
make mechanical slaves that would help he carry out his nefarious plans for power.
Judging by the clips we’ve had they’re gonna do things slightly differently and
Victor will instead have a device that will allow him to shape time.
-
I wonder if this actually is the prototype for the
time twisters that allows the tva to send their targets back to certain
points and they could be investigating it due to Loki being effected by one.
Also important to bear in mind that in the comics Rebecca Tourminet was
Timelys girlfriend who joined him in the town. This was an alias Ravonna Renalayer
used and in her office in season 1 we could catch the name on the diploma on the wall.
Might even explain how she ended up at the TVA and potentially Kang had a falling out with her
and then banished her to serve as a member of the TVA. Before she became a judge we know that
she was the one who lost Sylvie and we could learn more of this backstory as we travel back in time.
Either way we do see Ravonna wearing old timely dresses in the teaser showing that
they likely linked up at some point in the past. At the end it seems like she might be
stuck in the void and potentially coming face to face with alioth.
Now Loki and Mobius sit down and enjoy pie and we know from the leaked trailer
at d23 that this is gonna be a play on the interoggation from the first season.
That had the pair in a room together discussing how he wasn't a bad guy and
he listed off characters whod said he was like the avengers, phil coulson and Thanos.
Interestingly, we never see Thanos calling him a bad guy, so maybe we'll get a reference to what
happened between the pair before he sent him to Earth in The Avengers.
There's a couple of action shots of them fighting a mysterious character and we
also see the premiere for Zaniac. Zaniac is actually a character from the comics thats
a parastic creature who originated from the dark dimension. Now shoutouts to our
editor matt who noticed the number 158 on the licence plate of the car there.
157 appears when they arrive in 1901 so there could be something going on with the numbers.
Either way we see an actor getting out of a car and waving and htis is who
loki and mobius later on end up surrounding. I think he's the one who is stuck in the doorway
at the end too but the trailer quality is pretty low so its difficult to tell.
Loki ends up duplicating himself and this is a power that we've
seen him demonstrating before in the avengers.
Now we get a quick shot of Casey being led down a dark and dank tunnel thingy. In the teaser we
also get a shot of Hunter B-15 wearing african dress along with a headscarf and rings around
her neck. This is the first time we've seen her out of uniform and I'm guessing that we'll see
her past and learn how she got picked up by the TVA. In Season 1 we had a brief moment
where she seemed to remember her life so we might end up getting something like that.
Kinda leaning into MCU lore here a bit but due to them putting her in African dress
they may connect her with Wakanda and show how she was part of that world or something.
However at one point we also see her as a doctor so yeah,
might be barking up the wrong tree on that.
Either way I think this is gonna basically give us the backstory of all the TVA agents and show
that they were all variants that were taken and reformatted into agents.
We saw them basically trying to do that with the Loki variant in season 1 and
whilst his main version was continuing in the 616 they were using him to track down Sylvie.
-
Now we also see Ravonna sparking up a weapon and throughout the teaser
she seems to be present in the 1901 stuff. This seems like its aproto time stick and
it looks like the comics version of the retro active cannon that wipes you out of existence.
Now In case you don't know, Ravonna is seen as the love of Kang's life, and in his recent rebooted
origin story, he bumped into several versions of her throughout time. He was always destined
to watch her die or have her turn on him, and thus he spent the entirety of his life alone.
-
Now Loki falling like this may line up with the shot of Mobius in a space suit
with him potentially hurtling towards the void whilst he has to rescue him.
Kinda feels like it might be a little nod to the falling for 30 minutes line
from Ragnarok but obviously these are different versions of Loki.
-
Now we end with a Giant Ms Minutes who looks like
a toast clock and also see a mural of lots od different kangs fighting.
We then get lots of different shots with loki going head to head with the tva.
I'm guessing that Loki threatens the stability of the organisation
because he's the one person that can expose the truth about them.
Now as for my thoughts on the trailer I’m really excited for the show and I’m
hoping that this rights the wrongs of what’s been going on with phase 5. I didn’t dislike
secret invasion but towards the end it kinda fell off and devolved into the
tired old cgi fight trope that’s become the most played out part of the genre.
What I admired about Loki season 1 is that it’s got the only finale that didn’t do
that and on every level I think it worked better than the other Disney plus shows.
Now obviously there’s the whole thing happening with Jonathan majors as well
that at the moments the big elephant in the room. I don’t wanna comment too much on that though as
it’s one of those subjects where everyone kinda brings their own baggage to it. You’ve got people
who think it could be Hollywood covering up for a violent man again whereas other people think it’s
the media going after someone because of their race. There’s then those who think the woman’s
making it up, people who think he’s pressuring her into taking the fall and yeah, I think I’d
rather just leave stuff up to the judge and jury who actually be able to go through the evidence.
Still though I think it’s worth acknowledging that depending on what happens with him could
effect how well the show is recieved. I think it’s undeniable he’s a brilliant
actor but if things come out bad then it could end up causing issues with
the season. Now marvel filmed this before that so I think they have that excuse but
if they have to change things last minute to recast then it may effect the ending.
We don’t know how it’s gonna go but I think having
Loki vs Kang as a central season theme is gonna make for a thrilling journey.
To me Quantumania kinda made him seem like a bit of a chump in the end so im
hoping this secured him once more as the threatening villain we all know he can be.
And the show itself looks fantastic too with it being a clear evolution of what’s come before.
This seems like it’s gonna be a brilliant follow on from that and hopefully it’ll show Disney
they need to be making these things as actual seasons instead of six episode movie things.
