LOKI Episode 2 Breakdown & Ending Explained Spoiler Review | Marvel Easter Eggs & Things You Missed

[Music] welcome to the heavy spoiler show i'm your host paul aka the guy who always expects the expected and it's time to ragnarok and roll as episode 2 of loki is now out worldwide as always we're going to be breaking down the entire episode's plot pointing out all the devil in the details including some big easter eggs and things that you might have missed we'll also be giving our review of the series so far and how it stacks up next to one division and falcon in the winter soldier so make sure you stick around until the end game now first up i think we have to address the big reveal in the episode which is that the loki varian is actually lady loki played by sofia dimartino when the show was filming this was leaked and we can now pretty much confirm that the person everyone thought was black widow in the trailers is actually her when we first meet her one of her horns is cut in half and this is a reference to agent of asgard in which the character had something similar on his crown i actually got access to the first two episodes of the show so i didn't want to spoil it in my last breakdown but i was really surprised at how many people who also got the same privileges just out and out said that it was her to pass it off as a theory i even watched one where they said it could be her and then started using she pronouns for the rest of the video what the bloody hell is wrong with you we're never getting early access again nope all that for a drop of clout now from this point onwards i'm going in as blind as you guys and daredevil and this episode has a lot to theorize about it now we open in oshkosh wisconsin in the year 1985 at a renaissance fair 1985 is the year that back to the future was set and similar to that film we get an adventure that involves our heroes traveling to the past and future i love how they have this idea here that people are dressing up like the past in an attempt to relive it the tva are literally able to do this and can appear at any point in time and there's some really cool easter eggs at this location now firstly we see the dragonfly armory which could be another dragonfly an armored character from the marvel universe next we get what i think is a cameo of agatha hawkness before the big reveal in one division that it was agatha all along we noticed that agnes never really flinched when wonder before magic in front of her and this was because stuff like that didn't surprise the character the tva step out of a temporal doorway in front of her here but rather than being shocked at that she's annoyed they aren't wearing traditional medieval attire agatha is however and it looks similar this style to what she wore in salem agatha of course was alive during the period that this festival is celebrating so i think it's hilarious that she's gone to one just to feel more at home now the actress is kate berlant and not catherine han but if people can go wild over peggy carter then we can go bloody wild over this clickbait clickbait clickbait agatha is of course a big bad villainess in the mcu and it's not too long before we come across another one in a tent this is lady loki who uses her mind control powers to turn c20 played by sasha lane against the other minutemen she kicks the crap out of them to i need a hero by bonnie tyler which sort of sets up how the tva need a hero in order to take on lady loki thus they have turned to a variant of her in loki who will no doubt go from villain to hero as we progress through the show she steals one of the tba's time doorway devices and on this we can see that there's a directory settings panel time door and an icon of miss minutes no idea what that last one does but speaking of her i forgot to mention last week that she's actually voiced by tara strong who you might know as being someone that provided the original voice of harley quinn and she's responsible for pretty much creating her signature sound in thor and loki double trouble issue 3 lady loki actually gained a device that allowed her to jump across dimensions and i feel like this is very much pulling from that comic lady loki takes c20 and we cut to the title screen which is in black and white just like the last time the letters constantly shift as a nod to the different versions of loki an armor fisto obsession last week blinded us from the fact that one has devil horns which are supposed to represent his helmet cut to loki reading a jet ski magazine and he's being quizzed by miss minutes on what happens when a nexus event breaches a red line this is a very important line of dialogue as we learn that it means the tva can't reset the timeline and a branch is created this leads to the destruction of the timeline and the fall of reality as we know it but let's be honest here we've lived through 2020 love i think we can handle a little destruction of reality episode 1 was full of old tech and on the desk we can see an old league siegler which are now no longer produced the miss minutes hologram responds to loki even though it's a recording and this is likely because she's already aware of the conversation due to her knowledge of time if you've ever seen the doctor who episode blink then you'll know that someone was able to have a conversation with a doc on a tv with footage that was recorded decades before because he already knew their responses due to them making notes on the conversation that they had whilst talking to the recording this was then given to the doc and it's a lot of timey why me wibbly wobbly stuff but i feel that miss minutes is sort of doing the same thing don't know if that made sense or if i explained it well which i probably didn't but moving on now mobius says there's been an attack and he gives him a tva jacket with varian printed on the back turns out mobius's desk is just along from casey who he threatened to gut like a fish which i forgot to point out was it not to scream now the jet ski has a lot of meaning as it's clear that mobius wants to ride one off into the sunset he very much reminisces on the 1990s to loki at the end of the episode and it turns out that he's never ridden one now mobius has such a strong impression of the 90s and this could be a nod to the character actually debuting in 1991 mobius says he can't go off and do it because it would create a branch timeline but i do feel the season will end with him riding one off into the sun all the tva members are pretty much slaves and whether they're reduced to just being a number or not even knowing what a fish is it's clear that they're indoctrinated into believing that they have a purpose and really there's no reason for them to want to be alive now the rivalry between b15 and loki heats up a bit and he calls him a cosmic mistake when you think about it he pretty much isn't even the main variant that we followed through the mcu as that one is now on his way to asgard to be locked up interestingly the hologram we see of our loki has blue skin and this is because he is of course a frost giant last week the picture of mephista sorry the devil had a blue tongue and the child too had won because of the kablooey turns out there's several variants walking around and this includes a tour de france winner wearing yellow just like the most recent one however instead of the united arab emirates logo on his chest he just has loki we have a hulk loki one that looks a lot like the mandarin and a viking one loki of course himself is a viking god so this is a nice little nod to that loki also explains his powers and we learn that the variants have different abilities which is how lady loki is able to control others and shift this possession from person to person they ship out to the renaissance fair and loki asks why they didn't just head back towards the attack turns out nexus events destabilize the time flow and they don't want to create even more branches so they have to show up in real time loki warns them that they're in great danger and says they're underestimating this loki variant hilariously he calls them the lesser loki throughout the episode and she sort of does get the drop on him showing that he underestimated her too he talks about the legends of wolves in asgardian history and in thor ragnarok we of course came face to face with one in the form of fenris who is a giant wolf from nordic culture loki calls the asgardians gullible and we know this is true as he was able to masquerade as odin for several years without being noticed logie pretty much spoils the entire episode early and says that lady loki wants them to follow c20 so that she can spring her trap and get loki so that they can both take down the tv8 together this is sort of what happens in the entry but instead it's loki who tries to recruit her to overthrow the tva and he very much was just playing his hand here who knows he might have just revealed the entire plot of the season and it's going to be really interesting to see if this all comes to fruition spoiler alert for that entire bit and if you're enjoying the video then i'd massively appreciate the thumbs up as we're going to be breaking down the show like this each and every week i've also just started up a new tick tock page so hello fellow kids and it's got some of our best easter eggs on that that'll be linked in the description below now loki sarcastically says he now worships the sacred timeline and that he can deliver the variant but that he needs assurances he won't be wiped out when the job's over he states he needs to speak with the timekeepers as they're in grave danger but mobius figures out he's lying because hey he's loki weirdly though he was telling the truth and because of this they might even overthrow the entire tva in order to rule over them the branch is pruned and you might remember from episode 1 that this terminology could be seen on a poster cut to ravana and slayer's office and we see the statue of the timekeepers as well as several artifacts weirdly she's recording the entire meeting and though this might be for herself i actually think it's either for the timekeepers or the one controlling them mobius says that he's never seen them before and the way that ravana talks about them it sounds like they're one person instead of three same bloody pronouns i tell you spoiled lady loki and now they're spoiling this now google map raw has discussed the show quite recently and she said there's a lot of secrets involving her character so we shouldn't be taking everything that we see here at face value since episode 1 it's been scratching away at me that kang is behind it all and this isn't like some mephisto as we know the character has already been cast and is being played by jonathan mages to me you don't do the tva without the villain in it and if the timekeepers are all powerful and surely variants shouldn't be created in the first place i think that kang is manipulating events and that he has allowed loki to come into the tva to tear it apart thus creating the multiverse ren slayer has long been linked with him and it just makes a lot of sense to me nomobia says he's sort of playing with his loki who is stalling for time but in doing this it's allowing him to better understand the one out there in the world but i think he's actually got a bit of a soft spot for him now this is the newest bromance since falcon and the baron zemo and though he says he's a scared little ice run shivering in the cold he's also a lovable like another lad around here now mobius signs an event report with a pen that we see has the words franklin d roosevelt high school on it historically this was one of the first schools in dallas built for black students and it was a key location that helped to educate black people in a time when many didn't want them to have the same rights as white people we can also see an hourglass symbol etched into red slayer's door and loki tries to work the situation to make it so it's actually a lesson in understanding him expect the expected when dealing with loki and into ragnarok thor finally managed to outsmart him by knowing that he would always try and betray him loki is told it's his last chance and we cut to the trippy infinity elevator with the timekeeper statues in front of it this is actually a real world location and it's the inside of the marriott marquis in atlanta loki goes to floor 372 and it's clearly a nod to the fact that the tva themselves debuted in issue 372 of thor we can also catch lk3 which was shown as a floor on the elevator panel from episode 1. we see several of these throughout the episode making me wonder where the mysterious x and miss minutes floor leads to and all this anticipation is giving me a raging hard boner fan theory idea now loki rings an old hotel bell further showing repurposed items from our world and we later see casey drinking some boku juice this has now been discontinued and no longer exists in this episode mobius also drinks a can of josta energy drink which too is no longer produced so i'm expecting to see some more products like this popping up loki requests all the files from the beginning of time until the end but they're classified and the only one he's granted is about his life furthermore we see his surname lauper son again and this is because he's the son of laufey and not odin hiddleston shows off his acting chops once more as he reads over the destruction of asgard at the hands of certain and we see that there were 9719 deaths caused it's heartbreaking for him knowing that he and his people are doomed but he realizes that disasters at leader mass deaths are the key to finding where lady loki is if one were to travel back in time to say hiroshima before it was bombed you could pretty much do what you wanted without worrying about the butterfly effect as the entire area would be destroyed and thus nothing in the timeline would ever change because of this a nexus event wouldn't occur and thus the tva would be completely unaware loki demonstrates this with mobius lunch by throwing salt in it and some boku juice and overall it's better than my wife's cooking you're having that now weirdly he talks about pushing hulk off the bridge and how it wouldn't have changed anything but then if that had happened fenris would have killed heimdall which would have had a knock-on effect i know that most of the asgardians were killed by thanos shortly after but i'm not sure that this example quite works and mobius is cautious because he thinks loki will stab him in the back and one time when he and thor were children there was a part where he transformed into a snake because yeah he knows thor loves snakes and he said it's me and stabbed him now loki denies stabbing anyone in the back and he convinces mobius by saying he loves to be right they travel to 79 a.d namely pompeii in italy man vesuvius famously erupted there and killed the majority of the population even freezing some of them forever in stone by the ash that formed and dried on them there were even people who were petrified in their beds as they slept and i definitely recommend that you check it out if you ever go to italy now the vfx team couldn't use footage of pompeii because cameras didn't exist allegedly and thus they used the eruption from the 1980s saint helens volcano as a reference on how it would act loki frees some goats and says be free my horned friends and his helmet is of course meant to look like the horns of a goat and also the devil [Music] now loki is proven to be right and mobius correctly deduces that they have to be naturally occurring with no survivors after realizing that kablooey was only produced between certain years and that it was available at a certain location they track lady loki to the rocks caught disaster we learned that she's laying low at the rocks court store and due to the double x in its name this is likely playing on the corporation roxanne from the comics the head of roxon dario agar ended up taking loki's father's skull at one point and he even built a church in the name of the character now though not fully introduced into the mcu they did appear on the side of a tanker in iron man 3 and are likely popping up at some point in the future judah marvel pretty much running out of characters and companies that they haven't put into the mcu this fall the team traveled to 2050 and we see as a tsunami in hurricane closing on the area i absolutely love the music here and it really ramps up this finale to be the height of the season so far loki dries his clothes using magic but he's likely still wet and just changing his outer appearance in thor the dark world he did something similar when he was in a cell and he projected the idea that he was okay when he looked worse than i did during the middle of lockdown now b15 and loki go together and come across someone suspiciously shopping for plants in the middle of a hurricane we see that lady loki is capable of passing on her possession by touch and it sort of draws out the mystery of who exactly she is now you might have seen last week that there were several reports about how loki as a character is gender fluid and with logie being a nose tricks to god this very much ties into how we can often fool people in the comics after the events of ragnarok loki was reborn into the body of lady loki and potentially this could be what happened to the character after the events of infinity war which of course took place almost immediately after the third thor film now in the source material they make it very very clear that she is just a continuation of the original loki however they've left it a bit ambiguous here she does say things like if anyone's anyone you're me and smiles like him but it could be a reach and it certainly won't be the last one in this video so something to look forward to for you guys now the tva finds c20 and lady loki jumps across from body to body before revealing herself loki says he now knows why thor found him so annoying and asks if she wants to join him in overthrowing the tva in order to rule them we see that lady loki has set up several reset charges around the entire building and we learn that c20 has given away how to find them the episode ends with lady loki setting the charges to explode and these all drop through doorways to what i'm guessing are timelines that the tva are located at i love how the score takes on the theme of a ticking clock here as it speeds up towards what is the apocalypse as she steps forward you might also notice that some of the tvs have the same zero signal display that was used during the credits of one division the lady loki has a crown of thorns much like the one in the mephisto stained glass window and the pair flee together to who knows where several branches in the timeline are created that are too much for the tva to handle and this bombing of the sacred timeline makes ravona rent slayer grab her own stun stick to go out and fight now as for where they're going i think that we may have already seen this in one of the trailers in the one where it looks like loki is speaking to black widow he's likely just sat with her and i think the pair will be discussing her life origins and what came to be this is clearly at an apocalypse event that looks like what happened when the moon exploded and potentially this might even be titan thanos of course threw a moon in infinity war and the purple glow does look similar to what comes from the power stone however when we see the reset charges being sent to the sacred timeline on the screen there is a listing for several locations including voromir asgore sikor ego heller and more these are of course key locations in the mcu another one on voromir happens in 2301 it's clearly a very important event that could have massive ramifications so though black widow did die in 2014 maybe she could be popping up again in the next episode but we don't really know now interestingly the one for asgard goes to 2004 which is just before the events of thor and this could link into the king loki moment that we saw in the trailer for sakhar it's 1984 which might end up killing the grand master so that the loki events in ragnarok happened differently and titan was also bombed in 1982 but no idea what that's about as the planet was likely destroyed at that point now i kind of feel that lady loki may have come from the timeline in which it looked like the nuke struck during the battle of new york and this wiped out the entire city this would send her off on a massively different tangent to what happened in the mcu as all the avengers but maybe bruce banner would have been killed i think next time we will be discovering more of the ins and outs of where she came from and the next episode might even end with the cliffhanger of vote loki with him saying what did you expect as that just seems like you know something that you would end an episode on going from there i think that the pair might jump about from timeline to timeline in order to build an army of loki's to carry out their plans there's so much going on in this episode i think him stepping through the doorway leaving mobius in the dust was a brilliant brilliant way to close things out now as for my thoughts on the episode i think this was probably a lot better than the first one which felt a bit too heavy on the exposition and introductions i'm someone who normally prefers things once the ball gets rolling and it's rare that i actually like an origin story because they just sort of follow the same story beats last episode was very much the bad guy goes in there could be good within him he unlocks it and learns something new about himself that's normally a stereotypical origin story so to have this just hit the ground running was a lot better for me there's a real sense of urgency to it and actually being on locations through our time i think is much better than just sitting in the offices like we did in the last episode proper slagging the show off here but last time i did compare the pilots of one division falcon and the winter soldier and loki to say what i felt was the strongest opening for me falcon had the best first episode but if we're now comparing the first two then i think loki far outclasses the others as the two fell pretty flat for me on both shows tom hiddleston is absolutely nailing the role and i'm really surprised at how much i like owen wilson as his buddy i'm not saying wilton is a bad actor or anything he's always been fun and light-hearted i just really wasn't expecting to like him this much you also have the arrival of the first big variant and though i think we know what's coming down the line in terms of the others there's still so much to enjoy great episode better than the first for me and yeah very excited to see what's coming around the corner now obviously i'd love to hear your thoughts and theories so make sure you comment below and let me know i said thank you for interacting with the video you'll be entered into
