![]() Having said that, Sylvie shows plenty of potential to become a new fan-favorite for the long run, especially in part due to Sophia Di Martino’s performance. Now, she is a variant of the God of Mischief, so we can only take anything she says with caution. However, outside of a few tidbits, we still don’t know much about Sylvie except her being a version of Loki who no longer claims the name and is on a righteous mission to kill the Time-keepers. This entry mostly serves to just introduce Sylvie and show the distinctions between her and the Loki we have known for 10 years now. Specifically during an intimate scene where both of them talk about their mothers and past relationships, we’re given more of what is seen as best part of Loki: the small moments where characters can just talk to one another. The majority of the runtime sees the two tricksters trying to escape Lamentis-1 before its ultimate doom, here is where we get the best parts of the episode in Loki and Sylvie’s interactions. Loki and Sylvie must put their literal and internal differences aside so they can escape this Armageddon.Įpisode 3 of Loki is the shortest in the series so far, coming in at roughly 35 minutes (not counting 7 minutes of credits). ![]() The two Lokis clash and their own mischievous devices backfire, resulting with them being stranded on Lamentis-1 – a planet on the eve of apocalypse in the year 2077 as its moon slowly crumbles down to the surface. This Lady Loki variant who chooses to go by Sylvie (Sophia Di Martino) does the impossible by sending ‘time charges’ across various points in the past and present, causing the time stream to branch off into complete chaos.Įpisode 3 picks up with Loki chasing Sylvie back into the TVA, as she attempts to finish her grand scheme by killing the Time-keepers themselves. Obviously, I don't think they'll die here, but I don't know how they'll get out if Loki didn't steal the Time Stone aside from Old Man Loki showing up to save the day.Last week’s episode of Loki ended on a huge cliffhanger with our titular God of Mischief finally meeting the other variant who is being hunted by the TVA, which actually turned out to be the MCU’s first iteration of a female Loki. The arc they're trying to get to is destroyed, they seemingly have no way out, and next week we will probably see the shot of Loki and Sylvie basically sitting on a bench in the apocalypse that we saw in the trailers. We saw him use telekinetic powers in Episode 2 when he snagged a robot vacuum to use as a weapon but stopping a whole building from falling is a big and quick leap while newly exploring this ability. ![]() It looks a lot like when Doctor Strange rewinds time with the Time Stone and part of me wonders if Loki actually took one of the Time Stones from the TVA because he did pick up the green one when he looked in Casey's drawer back in Episode 1. Saff - Variant 1283 #Loki ☀️ June 23, 2021Īn awesome single-shot action scene plays out on Lamentis (props to director Kate Herron), we see an Infinity sign (which might be a nod to Loki and Sylvie being trapped in a time loop), and we also see Loki uses telekinetic powers to reverse a falling building. We also learn the TVA people are actually people, all variants plucked from various timelines, so Mobius probably came straight out of the 90s and we might still get to see him ride off into the sunset on a jet ski but it might also reesult in the show having multiple (or infinite) versions of Mobius like the TVA does in comics. The TVA showed him his life ends when Thanos kills him. ![]() Really, he is also mocking himself from the first Avengers movie where he used that line first because he has now learned he really had no glorious purpose. Loki gets drunk and gets yeeted from the train, whipping his hair back like he did after the run in with Doctor Strange in Thor: Ragnarok and uses his "glorious purpose" phase to mock Sylvie. Loki smashes a glass on the train and demands, "Another," prompting us all to Leonardo DiCaprio out of our seats and remember the moment in 2011's Thor when Thor did the same thing. I know this is a small step but I'm happy, and heart is so full, to say that this is now Canon in MCU." (Photo: Marvel Studios / Thor) It is a part of who he is and who I am too. Director Kate Herron weighed in on Twitter, saying, "it was very important to me, and my goal, to acknowledge Loki was bisexual. It also comes with confirmation that Loki is bisexual, giving the first real bit of representation to the LGBTQ community in the MCU because that cameo in Avengers: Endgame was nowhere near as meaningful and this is a big W during Pride Month - and it's also comics accurate and Nors mythology accurate so it's all a win.
