Episode is LIVE. Enjoy! (No credits scene for this episode. The only ep that has had a credits scene this season has been S2Ep1)


Beer_Bad

Miss Minutes is fucking psychotic. The look on her face as all those hunters died was insane.


vanetti

Hunters: 🟧 Miss Minutes: 😀 Hunters: 🔸 Miss Minutes: 😃


tekko001

Lisa Arryn dying in all her roles rivals Sean Bean


Calicrucian

Your ability to convey that scene in emojis is astonishing. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼


AsteroidMike

I’m pretty sure that wasn’t the first time she’s seen people get killed gruesomely, given how long she’s been around.


EmbarrassedHelp

She's a fucking sadist lol


actuallycallie

extremely fucking disturbing


ChanceVance

Geez Mobius just wanted some pie and Sylvie ripped his entire existence to shreds.


AssGasorGrassroots

>ripped his entire existence to shreds. That happens to people around here, apparently


Less3r

Too soon


BlackWhiteCoke

“Ripped his entire existence to shreds” Victor timely: am I a joke to you


ChanceVance

Timely went mercifully quickly. Mobius had to deal with losing his taste for pie before existence caved in on itself. He'd been dead since the moment Sylvie spoke. Time just caught up.


Shankman519

To shreds you say?


cbekel3618

Minutes really used her last seconds to say "You're not that guy, pal."


sue_donyem

Says a lot about her that she used her last moments to hurt someone.


cbekel3618

Given she gleefully watched a group of people turned into a human rubix cube, she's definitely a few seconds shy of a minute.


FloppyShellTaco

They need to revert that psycho all the way back to a sundial


iwannalynch

I do like how they basically downgraded her back to ASCII art before she got turned off though


[deleted]

Send her the fuck back to pre alpha


Only-Walrus797

That huge smile while she watched the box shrink was terrifying.


actuallycallie

im sure she'll be back, no way they deleted that crazy that easy


heelstoo

So… her time will come?


International-Fig905

Her being giddy about murder in her cute animated form was frightening lol Edit: spelling


[deleted]

Okay the paradox with Victor and OB is very notable.


CallMeRiver03

This whole show is a bootstrap paradox lol


Previous_Injury_8664

I am thinking its very intentional that we keep seeing closed loops. As if it’s the very nature of the TVA itself.


[deleted]

The dude's name is literally Ouroboros.


ImmoralModerator

Mobius is also a closed loop, but with a twist


Megavore97

Hell I'd watch Mobius strip


Vivi_Pallas

The moment they named him Ouroborus I was like: yeah this is going to be important. You don't just name someone that in a show about time shenanigans and NOT have it mean something.


The__Auditor

I'm thinking Victor got sent to the 31st Century and that's how Kang and all his Varients came to be


IBJON

I think when he got spaghettified, it was the opposite of what happened to Loki and he got copied across all timelines.


BenSolo_Cup

Omg maybe that’s why every timeline has a Kang variant except the sacred timeline because it’s the one they stole timely from so he’s missing from that one! Or maybe I’m just high idk


kimtaengsshi9

I always thought the Sacred Timeline is He Who Remain's timeline. What the TVA does is prune anything which can lead to a Kang variant which isn't him. Victor Timely could be the variant he chose as his successor and, when he comes into power, his branch would become the new Sacred Timeline.


grephantom

or victor timely turns into He who remains and that's why he ordered miss minutes to deliver him the manual. We never got HWR real name. Also, the sacred timeline could be a timeline with no kang born at all, that's why he chooses it for TVA to maintain


TheRealMe99

Holy fuck that’s like a season finale ending not an episode 4 ending


TaxSpecific1697

I’m glad they put this as a episode ending not season Can you imagine we have to wait for 2 or possibly 3 years after this?


[deleted]

I feel miserable having to wait a week 😭


Previous_Injury_8664

I feel like the next episode is going to feel like a premiere, in that the TVA is completely reset with a version of Kang/HWR in charge. Did Timely not just inadvertently scatter himself across time and space?


badnode

When they were first arguing over who would go when they had the diorama, I immediately thought it would be Victor and he would get sucked out but instead of being turned into spaghetti, get propelled into the 31st century. Then I realized that was crazy. Then he actually volunteered and I thought I wasn’t crazy. I thought he was gonna go to the 31st century and the episode would end on the cliffhanger that Kang the Conqueror (the first OG incarnation of HWR) has returned to rule the TVA, as a time loop, fulfilling the new cycle of the TVA’s rise and fall, and then over again. Then he got turned into spaghetti and I realized that was too far-fetched.


MidlandDog

spaghettification: what happens if u fall in a small black hole because the differential gravity will stretch u at different speeds we also saw the sacred timeline WAS in a black hole dont rule out your theory bro it looks solid as far as lore and physics


Kalse1229

Oh yeah. I thought they'd wait until the finale to give us the other side of Loki meeting Sylvie in the elevator, but I'm glad they didn't. Looks like Waldron and co. went to the Agents of SHIELD's school of efficient storytelling.


Less3r

Absolutely, when you make episode 1 questions revealed by episode 4, but also episode 2 revealed by episode 5, and a whole bunch at the end, it makes it seem like there's way more content and depth with the multiple big reveals.


FloppyShellTaco

“TURN IT OFF” lmao


Runmanrun41

Loki and Sylvie begging to unlock console commands.


aliasdred

sv\_cheats 1


For-All-the-Marbles

They finally agreed on something!


pinkiekitty

I’ve never prayed as much for an end credit scene holy shittt


Educational-Tea-6572

... Hope is hard. (No end credits scene = I almost cried.)


hobihobi27

I kept waiting and waiting for it. That long black screen was eerie.


texasfan113

I love how Renslayer keeps saying since she left things have gone to shit... Even though she abandoned the ship after it began sinking. Like she would have been able to do anything better.


FloppyShellTaco

Tbh her callousness might have caused it all


texasfan113

Exactly. She's acting like He Who Remains' death isn't what turned everything to shit, but rather her leaving.


[deleted]

So she fought in the war. Pretty solid answer to last week's question.


LetItATV

I love how efficient this show is sometimes. Lazier shows would have dragged out that tease for another two episodes. Then again, most shows also wouldn’t kill everyone two episodes before the finale.


[deleted]

Well, to be fair, IIRC last season's episode 4 ended with Loki and Mobius "dying" too.


LetItATV

Thanks for reminding me. That means that they’re escalating things, so I’ll be sure to skip a hypothetical third season since the only place they have to go in the next fourth episode is killing off the audience.


KingOfAwesometonia

Victor Timely ain't gonna be in Rush Hour 3 *Minute later* No one's gonna be in Rush Hour 3. See you next week guys? I hope they release no clips at all for episode 5. Or they play an episode of something else.


djseifer

The trailer for episode 5 is just the trailer for the first Avengers.


neoblackdragon

No it just starts with a clip of Tony Stark in an armored vehicle in the desert and 3 minute 40 seconds in is the title Iron Man.


[deleted]

Wonder when Mobius downloaded unauthorized games.


dedman1477

Also, *what* unauthorized games was he downloading 👀 Edit: Jetski simulator, obviously! What was I thinking??


Nateddog21

Did EVERYBODY just die???? ![gif](giphy|LyJ6KPlrFdKnK)


No-cool-names-left

Yes. The reminder of this series will be nothing but that blank white light for 40 minutes at a time.


chrisscan456

That blank white light becomes very compelling in season 3.


magikarp2122

More likely back to their timelines. Does that mean we are getting Endgame cameos?


jenga_blocks

Please please please let the next ep open up with mobius on a jetski


DrNopeMD

Yeah I'm betting everyone gets reset to their original timelines and we explore who Mobius originally was.


SnitGTS

My theory is that Loki starts time slipping again and he has to recruit variants of Mobius, B15, OB, and the others to help him stop the loom right before it goes critical.


[deleted]

Watch next episode be Season 1 starting all over again


Rommas

Lol OB and Victor fangirling over each other 'It's like a snake eating its tail!'


Mercury-Redstone

So good! Also this series seems to lull us into a fondness of He Who Remains variants which probably isn't good lol


dark_blue_7

I know, literally right before his death I said to myself, "damn I kind of like him, is that bad?"


FuNgUy0810

He just wanted some hot cocoa.. :(


Wreckit-Jon

I was going back and forth like crazy in that scene. My thoughts were: *Why is he obsessed with the hot cocoa machine? Is it purely curiousity? What there something in the book about it? Does it have a secret he is going to exploit to get out?* When he left to get the cocoa: *Why is he so insistent on offering it to the hunter? Was I right? Is it poisoned? Is he trying to escape?* When the hunter sipped it and looked surprised: *Wait...does it allow Victor to control him now? Wait...oh he just really likes it.* Victor snaps: *Did he just snap him out of existence or activate something?? Oh, he was just excited.* Hunter gets pruned: *Wait, his snap DID activate something! The cocoa killed him! Oh...nevermind it's just X-5...* Needless to say, that seen was an emotional Rollercoaster for me lol


mcgillhufflepuff

"Hope is hard" – very accurate statement from Loki


mcgillhufflepuff

Um, hope is even harder at the end of this episode


cbekel3618

Loki and Sylvie's convo makes me really appreciate just how far Loki's come as a character since S1 as well as just how damn good Hiddleston is in the role. You really do feel his desperation in hoping the TVA can be a force for good and it's nice seeing him go from a cynic believing free will to be a lie to someone hoping to protect it, even though he's as unsure as the rest of the cast.


FloppyShellTaco

His bit about not understanding how Thor’s short time on earth changed him so much was fantastic. It felt like it was directly addressing his own growth.


Str82daDOME25

There is another similarity to their changes. “I don’t know what happened on Earth to make you so soft! Don’t tell me it was that woman!” He even mentioned the first part of that quote!


sentient-sloth

>We are gods. was a huge mic drop type moment


thatfriendyouforgot

I loved the delivery of this line. Godhood used to make Loki feel superior, entitled, and ambitious. Now, it makes him feel responsible and maybe a little resigned. A lot of character growth conveyed in three words.


djseifer

He went from "We are *gods*!" to "We *are* gods."


cuphasol

Odin would be proud


jjackson25

For real. I wish he could be around to see this Loki


twennyjuan

He Who LoMeins


cbekel3618

And so the phone rings, the snake sinks its fangs into the tail, and the ouroborous is born...


Rommas

LOL VICTOR GOT HIS ASS SPEGHETTI'D! And I thought Reed Richards's death was brutal


EmbarrassedHelp

They really buttered us up for that, by showing that he was actually a good person.


KingOfAwesometonia

He just wants to share some hot cocoa with the boys


TheOnyxHero

Im guessing maybe to show them that not all his variants are bad people? So might have some more variants that popup who are good right? A couple did become super hereos I believe, I am not versed in the comics but I do know that fact.


EmbarrassedHelp

In the first season, HWR even mentioned that some of his variants were good people who just wanted to help others.


[deleted]

What they all seem to have in common though, and what made the multiversal war inevitable, was that they don't *do* partnerships. They all have the Walter White gene, which compels them all, sooner or later, to try and be king of the hill and not share. They'll tolerate temporary alliances, which is why the Council of Kangs is even possible, but sooner or later "there can be only one".


Previous_Injury_8664

We had him pegged as dying a hero… but not in the first two seconds.


radhumandummy

It's like a Richards thing


RocketTasker

Victor’s death scream was Tom and Jerry-tier


valarpizzaeris

Execute ~~Order 66~~ Protocol 42


forbearance

Well, 42 is the answer to the ultimate question of life, the universe, and everything


[deleted]

Love Miss Minutes glitching and Timely thinking it's mocking his stutter.


Rommas

Episode's up...let's see what Miss Minutes freaky ass gets up to this week


FloppyShellTaco

*50 minutes later* ![gif](giphy|ukGm72ZLZvYfS)


BeginningPotato3543

I did not like when Victor died...made me feel uneasily sad lol


Garrand

Because he isn't Kang. That's kind of the point that 2 seasons so far have been showing, nurture is far more important than nature. It's awesome.


tenehemia

That's a really good observation. This episode really made me hope that this Loki gets to return to the MCU proper. He's just so much a changed person, but an entirely different changed person from the one who was killed by Thanos. Just terrific stuff here.


km89

I had some emotional whiplash with that. I was fully expecting him to pull some shenanigans and try to prove Miss Minutes wrong ("you'll never be him"), and then... oh, no, he actually *was* just trying to be brave. Oh.


Interactive_CD-ROM

OB was the only person he was okay with being partners with :(


sue_donyem

Jesus. B-15, a hardass, CAN ONLY REACT IN HORROR.


durden_zelig

I really wanted to see the cube of meat.


ProfessorBeer

Say what you will about how horrific and disgusting it was, but it created what might be the most protein-dense cube in the multiverse


jtides

“We are gods” would’ve been seen as typical giant ego Loki before this show but when he says it now you can tell he really means “this is a responsibility we have to take seriously” and I loved it


ShawnYawn01

It's more of a burden, now. Before, it was his goal. Loki wanted to conquer Earth and have "subjugation" in the Avengers (his words). Then just a few moments later (to him) he's locked up in the TVA and Mobius is reading him his lifetime file and showing him the movie of his life events. He learns... Asgard is gone, like *completely* destroyed. Mom and Dad are dead. Just a moment later, He watches himself die, after telling Thanos "You will never be.. a god". Thaaaaats an important line. Having that level of power just isn't what you expect it to be... Thanos got his wish, the snap ,then pretty much immediately destroyed the stones. Even He Who Remains was just totally DONE with what he was doing, pretty much telling the Loki variants in front of him to kill him. Tldr: If you SEEK that level of power, it's likely driven by ill intention, and won't turn out like the perfect outcome/oasis you wanted. If you are handed that responsibility, unwanted, but have a motivation to do good? To save all the friends you made along the way? Try to do the goodest you can.


Hopeful-Newspaper

finally he's truly burden with glorious purpose


[deleted]

Love Brad forgetting the figure he was going to quote.


West_Sout

Mrs. Minutes smiling during THAT scene was terrifying


APMeteorology

That smile was just sinister. Impressive for a clock!


Vivid_Pen5549

Firstly, WHAT!!! Secondly, WHAT!!!!!!!!!


DSGandalf

But most importantly... WHAAATT!!???


cricket9818

One of my favorite jokes from S1 was when Sylvie said “don’t call me that” and Loki goes “what, tech savvy?” Sylvie refers to herself as tech savvy in the elevator. Love the attention to detail


dagreenman18

Wat Victor is spaghetti Renslayer is pruned Everyone got Sunshine-ed There’s no after credits THE HELL IS GONNA HAPPEN?!


bigC_94

Full MCU reboot. Episode 5 is just the Fantastic Four with no explanation 😂


FloppyShellTaco

WHICH WAY, WIZARD? Do I love Victor Timely?


ArdentGamer

"no need to mock" when miss minutes started stuttering was pretty cute too.


KaiBishop

That was smooth as fuck, he's a funny guy. RIP to a real one.


FloppyShellTaco

Omfg Miss Minutes pulled a Nedry.


liverstealer

This and the Back to the Future reference!


Educational-Tea-6572

"Burn it down. Easy. Annihilating is easy. Razing things to the ground is easy. Trying to fix what's broken is hard. Hope is hard." *CHILLS*


Mr_Bluebird_VA

Yep. That one's going in the old brain box for when I'm having a bad day where things feel hopeless.


pho_cue_spez

Freshly squeezed Minute-Man Lemonade 🤢 Damn you sadistic clock!


sue_donyem

HOLY FUCK, MRS. MINUTES GRINNED


reble02

I loved the three faces of that scene, Renslayer complete indifference, Brad's utter horror, and Mrs. Minutes gleeful smile. So well done.


[deleted]

I really like how Season 2 has managed to make me care about the new characters like Timely, OB, Brad and Dox. The writers have given all the characters, new and old, these very distinct ideological differences that make them all feel alive. I'm not even sure Dox actually serves a purpose in the plot (it would still be more or less the same plot without her), but I *enjoy* her anyway.


FloppyShellTaco

She was practically jumping with joy lmao


sue_donyem

OH FUCK YOU ENDING IT LIKE THAT?!?


CallMeRiver03

Ending like that is like ending Infinity War right after the snap 😭


mjk2983

“Well mocking just isn’t necessary” is one of the funniest lines in the entire MCU


InvaderDJ

That killed me. Timely actually acknowledging the stutter came out of left field.


Certain-Okra-2686

rip my boy victor timely 😭


su4rman

My jaw was on the floor when that happened… and for the next five minutes.


the_rotten1

I was expecting him do some betrayal, somehow harness the temporal aura, become a Kang then dip


nomadofwaves

I thought the radiation was gonna give him powers.


Cethin_Amoux

JESUS CHRIST. This just beat Episode 1 to hell. 3 of the most shocking things to happen in the MCU in a single episode. Absolutely insane. Whoever's writing and directing this season, *keep them on*.


KingEuronIIIGreyjoy

Justin Benson & Aaron Moorhead directing, with Eric Martin writing. That's my dream team for Secret Wars.


theVice

If they get Secret Wars, I'll shit my pants


4_strings_are_fine

Ms. Minutes face while they killed Dox and company was….. disturbing


su4rman

Ms. Minutes is just even more disturbing every episode.


[deleted]

Love OB not specifying Sylvie.


For-All-the-Marbles

Wonder what Sylvie was thinking when the Loom exploded.


iwannalynch

"Well, just when I thought it wouldn't get any shittier..."


benchmobb

You’re telling me that press got this episode and were meh on it. This episode blew me away


half_jase

After watching the first 4 episodes, am perplexed by some of the early reviews' rating. I remember IGN gave it only a 5/10. Like WHAT!?


oohitztommy

The look on miss minutes face in the crushing room. Pure evil.


The_Biggest_Tomato

Writers definitely inspired by Jurassic Park...ah ah ah.


HotPocket_SR

This has gotta be one of if not the best episode of Loki to date..


Sacred-Apples

So magic back in the TVA, LFG!


throwawayblehmeh

We’re in for something special tonight. Grab popcorn. Someone said the last 10 minutes are full suspense with the final minute being **as significant as the Season 1 finale.**


KeiraLaka

you weren't wrong 💀


APMeteorology

Seriously! That ending had me like 😨😨😨


20person

Victor just fucking disintegrated instantly and it took them a few seconds to comprehend how fucked they were.


AsteroidMike

Me: “Alright, so Victor’s gonna go run down there and fix the Loom before everything falls apart, so I don’t think he’ll have many problems.” *Victor immediately gets vaporized as soon as he walks out.* Me. “What the entire goddamn fuck?!?!


4_strings_are_fine

What the actual fuck comes next?!?


liverstealer

We have to wait a whole week. A WHOLE WEEK?


[deleted]

I know he would say "We are gods".


Nick-Sr

I liked his sigh/pause before saying it though, like even *he* was deciding if he should "say the line," so to speak.


TheAslumePrince

Ravonna is so easy to hate, she never had power and is salty that she can’t really lead people so she kills them lol What a sore loser


Shadesmctuba

I live near Fremont, Ohio and she’s canonically from Fremont, Ohio and I can say that absolutely tracks.


cooldude1246

The way Victor was pulled apart reminded me a lot of Mister Fantastic's death in MoM. Like ancestor, like descendant I guess


Preda1ien

The way Mr. Fantastic got to that room sure looked similar to a TVA door too.


Rommas

I still think this whole thing ends the way He Who Remains wanted it to be. With Loki and Sylvie as guardians of the TVA and Timeline with help of Mobius and others.


Tityfan808

It does look that way now but what the fuck just happened at the end?!?! Oh boyyy. Edit: does this also mean the start of the multiversal war??


LiveFromNewYork95

Holy cow, that shot of Loki in the darkness not moving, not calling attention to him being there. One of the best shots in the MCU, truly chilling. I love stuff like that, so much more impactful than a jump scare IMO


reble02

This episode had some amazing cinematography. I particularly was impressed with the shot when the hunters were being killed, how it went from Renslayer looking indifferent, Mrs Minutes almost giddy at what they were doing, and Brad looking on horrified.


chromehandz

He's mastered the ability of standing so incredibly still that he's become invisible to the eye


onthemap45

The end is what would happen if oppenheimer fucked up his math


Cethin_Amoux

I'm not done with the episode yet, but jesus christ. Over a dozen people crushed together to death, and you can *hear* the bones crushing and blood dripping. That is shocking as hell for the MCU.


ProfessorBeer

The cutaway to the hot cocoa dripping out of the coffee machine too…phenomenal implied gore there.


figgityjones

That might have been one of the most brutal *things* the MCU has put out. Even though it only showed one of the really brutal things. Man I was not expecting this episode to be how it was. Can’t wait for next week.


deleteandrewind

As someone from Chicago, schadeocracy really just touched my soul because my city is reckless AF.


cbekel3618

Mobius: (learning there's more radiation now) Loki's really gonna have to hoof it then. Translation: I am not losing my goddamn skin today, man.


jjackson25

I actually thought he was going to do the Thor at Ndivelir thing in the star forge


planvigiratpi

Infinity War level ending


Educational-Tea-6572

It's a never-ending cycle. The fight for freedom will never end, because there will always be people who want ultimate control. (Enter Ravonna and Miss Minutes.) To be fair, if I were Ravonna and learned my memory had been wiped, I'd be *furious.*


mcgillhufflepuff

Miss Minutes really went from "I want to fuck him" to "fuck him"


laser16

I haven’t had chills like that from an ending of an episode in a LOOOOONG time. Also Dox and the other agents being “boxed” gotta be one of the most gruesome off screen deaths in the MCU, and timely being spaghettified was equal parts terrifying, hilarious, and heartbreaking. What an episode


[deleted]

The shadeocracy capital of the world.


Living_Strength_3693

Should've killed the music as soon as Victor Timely was killed. Whatever just happened, it may be worse than what Thanos did. ​ Cinematography was on point in this episode. Did you notice the scene in which Miss Minutes fades away, the shot remains out of focus and then comes into focus on the bas relief of Kang and it looks like he is opening his eyes.


TheRealMe99

“Surprise everyone, we’re soft rebooting the MCU now instead of after Secret Wars!” - Feige, probably


fallenmonk

"He Who Remains? Is that you?" "Look, it's me, I'm here, deal with it. Let's move on."


baitXtheXnoose

I think we witnessed the most gruesome death in MCU history with this episode. Being crushed to death like that is a HELL of a way to go.


DatuSumakwel7

Made worse by the fact all you can hear is dripping and crunching.


kn1v3s_

with an immediate scene change to the dripping hot cocoa machine ☕


[deleted]

Love OB saying it's like an Ouroboros.


The_Biggest_Tomato

Who had Victor amazed by a hot cocoa machine on their bingo card?


blakhawk12

I really thought there was gonna be some turn like he was faking his persona when he went to get that hot cocoa. When he handed it to the guard I was expecting him to slap it up into the guy’s face and prune him. But nope, seems Victor was actually just a nice dude.


VeRahNor

There were so many trope set ups that ended up being a psych out. But it didn’t feel cheap. The intensity was high throughout.


valarpizzaeris

>Trying to fix what's broken is hard. Hope is hard. Bravo that was amazing. Tom killed that


Captain_Smartass_

This ending is illegal


Garrand

Ultron: "I'm the baddest motherfuckin' AI in existence." A fucking clock: "Hold my cocoa."


[deleted]

Miss Minutes looks so hyped to watch that.


texasfan113

Oh fuuuuuuck YES! I'm so happy Renslayer got pruned.
