Like the God of Mischief himself, we've all had our doubts about the Time Variance Authority being ruled over by the so-called "Time-Keepers." They do exist in the comic books, of course, but there's been something strange about the whole thing from the start, and the truth was revealed in today's astonishing episode of Loki.
After being captured by the TVA, Loki and Sylvie are finally brought up in front of the trio of seemingly omnipotent beings who rule over the Sacred Timeline.
They describe Sylvie as a "cosmic disappointment," and quickly order that both Variants are deleted. However, some help from an unexpected ally (don't worry, we'll get into that in our recap of the episode) means that the two Lokis are able to overpower their captors, and it's then that Sylvie uses her blade to cut the head right off one of the Time-Keepers. Mission accomplished, right?
The only problem is that it's an android. They all are.
Someone else is clearly in charge of the TVA, and these robot Time-Keepers are likely just a front to keep the organisation's agents subservient (after all, it gives them someone larger than life to answer to). As for who the true big bad is, we certainly have some theories, and it could quite easily still be another Loki who wants to make sure he's the only God of Mischief who lives forever.
However, we're going to go ahead and share our prediction that it's Kang the Conqueror. Judge Renslayer is clearly in on the act, and given her history with that villain in the comics, it just makes sense. It looks like answers may be coming next week, and it feels like things are about to get insane.
