This article contains spoilers from episode six of season one of Loki on Disney+. If you don’t want to know the plot points from the first season, then you should get out of this article as soon as possible. Like… right now. Last chance!
Doctor Steven Strange has a big job ahead of him. Sylvie and, to a lesser degree, Loki have created a multiversal disaster. I won’t pretend to know the scale of what Loki and Sylvie did in the finale, with Sylvie stabbing He Who Remains. But on first blush, it looked bad — really, really bad. The sheer chaos in the timeline was a gorgeous on-screen shot but, of course, it was as troubling as it was beautiful.
Marvel introduced the multiverse in episode one of Loki. And the MCU hurtled itself headlong into that multiverse in the finale. It’s mind-boggling to consider what comes next. But it’s clear that the MCU will focus on the multiverse for multiple movies, likely including Spider Man: No Way Home, Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness and Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania.
We know which character is going to take on the brunt of the cleanup for Syvlie’s mess. It has to be Dr. Strange. Poor Steven.
When Marvel fans finished episode six of Loki, they took to Twitter to make the same joke.
