LOKI Season 2 Head Writer Talks Mind-Bending Victor Timely Twist And What Comes Next - SPOILERS

In Loki's latest episode, "Heart of the TVA," we learned why no one in the Time Variance Authority remembers He Who Remains and watched as Kang Variant Victor Timely suffered death by spaghettification. 

Both moments delivered the sort of jaw-dropping twists the series has become known for. Now, in a new interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Head Writer Eric Martin confirmed it was after this mind-wipe that He Who Remains created the fictional Time-Keepers. 

"That’s the microcosm moment for what he did to the entire TVA," he explains. "He wipes everybody’s minds after he used them to get to power. He used Renslayer. She thought they were partners, but he wiped her mind. The way that he was going to be able to retain power is to create this facade, and then he stays at the Citadel at the End of Time to look over it all."

As for Victor's shocking demise - just as he was seemingly about to prove himself a hero - Martin says, "Well, this is the pivot point of the season and of Loki’s story here, and a lot of times, these pivot points can seem like the end of the journey. Obviously, we have two more episodes, so this journey is going to continue, but it is not going to be the straight line that we expect."

"This is not something that’s just a piece of plot," he continues. "This is part of an overall story tapestry that we’ve built. There’s a lot going on this season, but everything is purposeful. There’s meaning in all of it."

There are only two episodes left in Loki's second season, and when Martin was asked what he can say about the penultimate chapter and finale, he responded, "I think the best is ahead. Our season builds and builds, and I think five and six are the best episodes of the season."

Next Thursday really can't get here soon enough...

Yep. Everyone talking about "another Kang variant death" either isn't watching the show or they're not grasping the concept of the Council of Kangs plotting.

This show has been absolutely incredible so far. They just need to stick the landing in these final two episodes and this will EASILY be a huge W for a Phase 5 project.

@Variant - agree

I will be VERY worried, however, if they conclude w replacing/recasting Majors w any of Hiddleston, DiMartino, or Mbatha-raw.

So... could Loki not have sent a duplicate out into the radiation to complete the task? It seems like sometimes his copies have a physical body present, yea?

@Hoot3 - you can think of a million holes. Such as, they could have kidnapped quicksilver from a timeline and have him speed out there and do it. But then you'll drive yourself wondering what ifs, rather than enjoy the damn show haha

@Vigor - I'm enjoying it all, I just thought that would be the loom solution once they revealed that magic would be able to be used. That's all...

Vigor - 10/27/2023, 6:49 PM
@Hoot3 - oh yeah good point about the magic

@Hoot3 - Maybe the "copy" doesn't have enough strength to perform that particular task?

@Vigor - loki never met quicksilver and doesnt know he exists.

@Toonstrack - but the TVA does

So Loki pruned himself off the timeline to be able to re-enter before the loom went bang. Safety’s are off at the TVA and they have a draw of infinity stones which are shown in the credits… this is going to be a great finish to the season

I binged all 4 episodes tonight and I am totally confused. Are they saying Kang is now a 19th century regular guy who was given the TVA book by Ravona else, he never becomes he who remains? Clearly they show him young first implying this is how it all starts.

HWR was clear when he explained it to Loki/Selvi at the end of S1, Eons ago in the 31st century of mine lived on earth etc etc.

He also refers to a variant of himself discovered Alioth but then says "I" experimented on it etc.
