Recently came across prop TemPads online and they appear to have a circular d-pad on the left side that is detachable. I don’t remember this part separating from the TemPad, but sure. What was the purpose of this part being detachable and did we see it do anything specific as a separate component? I’m willing to rewatch the series but was wondering if someone had an explanation here that I didn’t find searching through the sub

So I know that HWR is an earthling, and Loki has almost exclusively dealt with Earth, but why are all the TVA workers humans from Earth?

The TVA deals with variants across the multiverse yes, but also across the universe, as in other galaxies and planets. In Season 1, they show variants from other races and planets, but all the workers are human.

And please don’t use the answer that it was just cheaper or easier for storytelling. I’m looking for an in-universe answer if there is one.

Looking back at Loki prior to Dark World (by chronological order in his life), it's just weird and amazing to just look at that guy and think about how he becomes MCU Capital G God; or heck MCU Jesus (Sorry Deadpool).

This guy was actually born in Jotunheim and was adopted by Odin as some kind of trophy and then tricked into thinking he was Asgardian all along and this is the guy who becomes God.

This guy tried to wipe out all of Jotunheim because of self-loathing and this is the guy who becomes God.

This guy hijacked a plane and said he had a bomb and took ransom money and then threw it all out and this is the guy who becomes God.

This guy walked into Germany and tried to be the next Hitler and even gouged a guy's eye out and this is the guy who becomes God.

This guy had a gag put over his mouth so he will shut up and this is the guy who becomes God.

My whole family enjoyed watching Seasons 1 and 2 of Loki. In fact, we enjoyed it so much that it quickly became part of our household vocabulary. We still make Loki references on a daily basis, such as:

Whenever the 11-year-old is told she messed up, e.g., left her dirty laundry on the floor, she says (in a British accent) "But I'd never do it again!"

Whenever the tablet is getting low on battery, the 8-year-old says "Oh no, my TemPad's out of charge!"

When any kid mentions that school was not the best today, I say "So you brought an alligator to school and it bit off the teacher's hand?"

When bedtime is approaching and we need to keep an eye on the clock, I say "Step it up, guys, Miss Minutes is watching you."

When we've been working hard on something and need to decompress, I say "Time for a pie break!"

And whenever we can't find the matching sock, Tupperware lid, etc., we say "Guess it must be in the Void."

But so far, none of the kids have brought out the excuse "He Who Remains made me do it," or "It wasn't me, Mom, it was a variant." (I think they know they can't get away with that now that we all have free will.)

It has been delightful to see how the show has inspired my kids' imagination and philosophical leanings. Who would have thought that a God of Mischief could be a good influence?

Ah, don’t we miss Tom ?

When Loki was walking down the gangway, his TVA clothes disintegrated and were replaced by his green cape outfit.

1. Did he create that outfit using his magic/sheer will? Did it come to protect him from another world?
2. The gold throne he sat on at the end - that's what's left of the Citadel at the end of time, right? Does that mean, that even the end of time (with Pres Loki and the purple cloud) can deteriorate?

It was a breathtaking scene, solemn and bitter sweet with all the awesomeness of a true God. One thing I noticed was that Loki kept his TVA shoes, which was really neat imo. It's like a souvenir for him perhaps? Something about getting on ones' feet and feeling safe and grounded. Sorry, I'm not too good with sayings.

I'm really confused about whether they are from the same universe or not.

Is Sylvie from the same universe as Loki (Tom Hiddleston)? Is she truly a female, or did she transform into one because she no longer wanted to be Loki?

Where did Classic Loki come from? If he's from the same universe as our Loki, does that mean he lived for a long time?

What about Kid Loki, President Loki, Boastful Loki, and his other variants? Since they don't resemble our Loki, are they from different universes? Is it similar to the concept of Spider-Man: No Way Home, where the other Peter Parkers are versions of him, not variants, since they are from different universes?

But what really confuses me is Alligator Loki! How did he become an Alligator???

I've just been thinking about the S1 and S2 finales.

In S1 HWR gave Loki and Sylvie an ultimatum. Two options:

1. Kill him and release the Timelines leading to Multiversal war
2. Keep the sacred timeline and run it together

In S2 he gave Loki the EXACT same options:

1. Destroy the loom and release the Timelines leading to Multiversal war
2. Kill Sylvie and keep the Sacred timeline and run it together with him

Except, we know from S2 that he wasn't really giving them genuine options. He had a contingency plan. He caused Loki to time slip so that even if Sylvie killed him, he could convince Loki to stop her and he would still be in charge. He gave them both the illusion of choice but really he was completely in control of the outcome no matter what they chose.

So. Like Sylvie in S1, Loki in S2 chose option 1, seemingly beating HWR and freeing the timelines. But we saw that that didn't work before, and no matter what they chose, HWR always had a back up plan. He was always still in control.

Do you think we'll find out if we get a Season 3, or maybe it'll tie into Avengers 5/6? Do we think Loki freeing the timelines actually messed up HWR plan? Or do we think he's secretly still in charge of the flow of time? Always 10 steps ahead.

Of course with all the issues with Jonathan Majors who knows if we'll actually see Kang again now. 🙄 But do you think Loki breaking the loom was part of his plan? Or do you think Loki's choice was unexpected and actually broke the time loop HWR created?

A. Tony Stark B. Hank Pym C. Bruce Banner D. Loki E. Others (tell us who is it)

I know he has telekinesis power like Wanda, but I'm aware that's not his only power.

Does he also possess the powers of his variants like Sylvie, Classic Loki, or any other of his variants?

By the way, the Loki I'm referring to is the one we know from the MCU, portrayed by Tom Hiddleston.

If he's still alive, there's a possibility that He Who Remains will exist again and create a Sacred Timeline where no Kang variants exist, right?

The Conqueror died in Quantumania, and because of that, the other variants and versions of Kang will now dominate the multiverse.

But if Kang the Conqueror doesn't die, he will erase all the variants of Kang, but he will also be the one who conquers the multiverse.

So, do you think he should die or not?

In "Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania," Kang warns Scott that if he doesn't leave the Quantum Realm, bad things will happen. Is it because Kang wants to stop other versions of himself from taking over everything? And that's the reason there is a Kang variant who created the Sacred Timeline without Kangs which is He Who Remains. If so, does that mean Kang the Conqueror isn't that bad?

What is Victor Timely's fate now that Renslayer can't deliver the book to him due to pruning?

Will he continue to live as an ordinary person, or does he have another role to play?

Why is Victor Timely considered the "plan B" after He Who Remains' death?

What are He Who Remains' intentions, and what does he want Victor to accomplish after his passing?

Loki isn't primarily intended for kids, but we let our kids watch the show with us, and they were captivated - especially my 8-year-old son. We made sure he hid under a blanket during the cube-crushing scene, but otherwise, he took it all in. It has loomed large in his imagination ever since. This weekend, while he and I drove to a camping trip, these were some of his questions for me:

8: "Hey Mom, who's your favorite AND least favorite Loki character?"

Me: "Hmmm, I guess my favorite is Loki and my least favorite is General Dox, because..."

8: "No, I mean favorite AND least favorite at the SAME TIME."

Me: "Um, what? I'm not sure..."

8: "Mine is Miss Minutes! Because she's so cute AND so creepy!"

8: "Hey Mom, what would you do if YOU were in charge of everything? And what if you had to stop evil variants of yourself from taking over and starting a multiversal war?"

Me: "Uhhhh.... honestly, I have no idea how I'd handle that."

8: "Me either!"

8: "Hey Mom, what would happen if you were using your TemPad to escape from a spagettifying timeline, but the back half of your body had already spaghettified, and only your front half made it through?"

Me: "Um, that's a good question. I have no idea."

8: "I think that if more than half of your body made it through, you would survive, but if less than half made it through, you would die."

8: "Hey Mom, what if you were one half of a double person... what's that called again?"

Me: "You mean conjoined twin?"

8: "Yeah! Conjoined twin... and the TVA decided they had to prune your twin?"

Me: "....What?!"

8: "Would you have to come too? Or would they just take your twin and leave you? But then you'd die. Because you need to be attached."

Me: [bursts out laughing] "OK, I definitely never thought of that!"

8: "Hey Mom, do you think Loki is still holding the universe together?"

Me: "Well... truthfully we don't know exactly how that works, so I guess anything's possible. I'm grateful to whatever force is holding the universe together so we can enjoy our lives on our timeline."

8: "I think he still is."

Me: "Thanks, Loki!"

8: "Thanks, Loki!"

I'm rewatching the last episode and just noticed something cool. At around 23:30, Loki slips back to the preparation for the time-dilatation thingy. It could have been at any moment during the preparation, but at the moment he comes back the automated voice says "Welcome, He Who Remains". Of course, it technically refers to Victor Timely, but what if it was a nod to the fact that Loki kinda becomes He Who Remains later in the episode? I'd love if a writer on the serie could confirm or deny this, I'll believe it was intentional for the moment 😁

So, apparently my friend said they saw a promotional Loki commercial where it was like "don't skip, or we die," or something. I have a fuzzy memory of seeing it, but all I remember is a Chips Ahoy!/Among Us hybrid commercial of the same formula. So, I kinda need your help. If you've seen it, drop the title of it, I'm highly interested. If it doesn't exist, please let me know in advance.
