This article contains spoilers from episode five of Marvel’s show, Loki. The Disney+ series has one episode left. We will reveal plot points from the first five episodes while speculating on what’s to come in the finale. If you don’t want to see that information, please exit this article.
No one thrives in chaos like Loki. And that’s why the scene in episode five when Loki (Tom Hiddelston) dances through a crowd of his fellow Loki Variants — one of which has dreads for horns and one of which is an alligator — was absolutely perfect. It should be too absurd and preposterous. And, well, it was. But it was also silly in all the right ways, including and especially Alligator Loki eating President Loki’s hand. Outrageous.
It was one of the just-the-right-amount-of-weird moments from an episode that united Loki and Sylvie (Sophia Di Martino) in The Void, where they got one step closer to finding the person behind the TVA (Time Variance Authority).
Though Loki on Disney+ has been one episode of chaos after the next, the show seems to be organized in setting up one particular villain. All the signs point toward an appearance from Kang the Conqueror in the finale.
Who is Kang? Imagine if Genghis Khan had access to 1) a suit of armor that made him super powerful and 2) a time traveling device. Kang is, of course, a conqueror. But what makes him special is that he conquerors multiple points of time. The ambitious villain moves between time and space — because conquering in one place and one space is too easy.
Played by Jonathan Majors, Kang will appear in Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, a movie set to release in February 2023. But could he make an appearance in Loki first? Could he be in charge of the TVA?
Here are the easter eggs that Marvel fans have found — and there are many.
