This really makes me wonder what the original plan for Phase 4 was, since MoM was initially going to be before Loki. So what was Doctor Strange dealing with if Loki hadn't opened the multiverse yet? Or were we supposed to go into Loki knowing the entire point was opening the multiverse?
Maybe MoM was just going to be "suddenly a multiverse opened up and we have no idea why" and regardless, Loki would've explained the how.

Did Dr. Strange already have the time stone when he was mad at Thor for bringing Loki to earth? I can't remember. I need to go back and watch that movie.

Edit: I went back and watched the scene and he did, LOL. I wonder if he saw Loki fucking up the timeline before all this happened in the show.

I'm not really a fan of the multiverse just now becoming a thing. We had already seen and heard about the multiverse in Doctor Strange. Also Ant-Man and the Wasp had Ghost, who was partially explained as linking with her alternate reality selves and being pulled apart because of it.

Sure, the time travel stuff means the branches can occur retroactively, but those movies are apparently part of the sacred timeline where some form of alternate realities already existed.

avengers/Loki Loki is different from main timeline Loki that was in ragnarok.

also its made clear that the infinity stones exist in their particular dimensions so it seems that doctor stranges time stone could only work within its dimension.

I thought Loki's Nexus event was taking the cosmic cube when he wasn't supposed to, though. Wouldn't that have happened in the same dimension as Doctor Strange?

They werent kidding when they said Loki would be the show most crucial to the MCU going forward.

This sets up everything for years to come. So happy they actually went with Kang and didnt cop out in the end. Thanos wouldnt have had the weight that he did if he wasnt teased so many times before Infinity War.

"Let me sit you down and have a nice chat that sets up the next several years of movies" isn't the direction I saw the finale going in, but I thoroughly enjoyed that.

Kang/Immortus was great, and they've done a really good job setting him up as the next big threat. Although I have to admit that for a moment I genuinely did think they'd misdirected us with all the Kang build-up and that Miss Minutes was actually gonna be the big bad. Weirdly, it turns out that I would have been okay with that, haha.

So... there would be one TVA per universe, to keep the order of the timeline, but only one Kang overseeing the sacred timeline universe and the entirety of all the other universe's TVAs? Or are there other Kangs looking over other TVAs in their respective universes, but the Kang that was just killed was the supreme Kang that looked over them all?

Okay now I'm legit confused. The mechanics and setting of this new MCU phase is confusing af.

Im not entirely sure what everyone else is saying but this Kang, known as Immortus, weaponized Alioth and killed all of the other Kang variants. Then, he created the TVA to ensure that his birth timeline was the only one to exist. Thus, preventing all of the other Kang variants from coming into existence.

Once Immortus was killed and no one continued the work of the TVA, this caused the timeline to branch again. Other Kang variants came into existence and the one who rules over the TVA now is Kang the Conqueror. This is why Immortus was called The One Who Remains. He was the only Kang left up until his death.

It was only spared due to HWR being the only Kang and protecting it. With him gone, there was nothing to stop other variants of him from creating their own TVA versions.

The thing is, Loki was thrust into the TVA before Sylvie killed Kang. So it shouldn't have been altered while he was in it.

Maybe it did alter somehow? Loki got sent to the prime timeline TVA, Sylvie then kills Immortus, then things immediately change. Which will mean the prime timeline may now be ruled by Kang the Conqueror.

I don't think it was going to be before even though that's how they showed it on the roadmap.

WandaVision and Loki were both Spring 2021, with MoM in May and "What If" in June.

Also, the original guy doing MoM left with Sam Raimi taking over. So that's a major change.

The thing with stuff like this is that whatever was erased, now always existed since the beginning. This entire Loki stuff could have taken place millions of years after we saw Endgame.

If the X-Men/Deadpool movies are a separate universe, they existed during the last Multiverse War and essentially just disappeared from existence for however long ago Immortus did this. Now that universe and its entire history would be restored.

Also, I'm pretty sure that is not what was happening to Ghost.

I'm just basing it on the lecture they snuck into, where the guy helping ghost was explains about quantum entanglement between separate realities. Talking about a subject being entangled with multiple realities at once. Seemed like he had become an expert on that while learning how to help her. Also, iirc that was what they were testing when she got her powers. Alongside her phased out versions often taking different actions from her. Just seemed like that's what they were going for.

A tad disappointing. Oh there was entertainment to be had and the exposition dump was well done. But there's no closure on pretty much anything. And in fact, with seemingly resetting Mobius and B-15 at the end it negates all their brief scenes at the TVA, plus, you know, development. That better be fixed quick the next season and not have to develop them all over again..

It did. Mobius looked roughed up when staring at the screen with B-15, his hair and suit a mess. When they encounter Loki, Mobius' suit is all clean and neat.

Mobius and B-15 weren't reset. Those were just different variants in a new timeline.

I figured the TVA would exist outside time and there'd be only 1. I guess each timeline has their own now then? Hope he gets back where he belongs quickly then.

Yeah, I'm kinda unclear on that, too. But... With Immortus' explanation, if he created the TVA to isolate his timeline from other variants, I would think the other Immortus variants who wanted peace would have done the same thing.

That's not how any of this works. Since the TVA exists outside of time, the effects can be felt all through the timestream at any point. That's why they can simply open doorways to any point in time. It's not following a linear timestream.

The timelines were already being altered since the TVA weren't pruning them. We see them branching out as they're talking.

My guess on the end is that the Multiverse War started as soon as she killed him. And it could have gone on for centuries.

Everything changed between the scene we see Mobius and B-15 looking at the TV screen and Loki meeting them by the Kang statue. They're satisfied that it's happening before. When Loki meets them, Mobius' suit is all clean and straight and B-15 is saying that "he" as in Kang, wants them all to branch and they're all worried.

My guess is that Kang has already taken over the TVA from the beginning. And since it's "outside of time", instead of branching, it was overwritten. I don't think infinite TVAs with Loki ending up in a random one is the way they're gonna go about this. Way too messy.

Loki can probably use enchantment to bring B-15 and Mobius back.

Quantum displacement is different from different realities. She was hit with quantum energy.

There are no effects, at least there shouldn't be, but I'm guessing some branches will collide. Otherwise, the main timeline will remain the same. Nothing changed.

Thanos was great in the MCU. I

I'm not sure why people think this. He was just hyped to hell and back. Literally more than any other character in the history of film.

When he finally turned up, he wasn't interesting or compelling. He was just a powerful enemy to be taken down. MCU isn't great at villains generally though.
