How is Disney plus' Loki's pilot episode?
The god of mischief is back from the dead to create more chaos and more importantly to make Wednesdays the new Saturday. The pilot kicks off where loki runs point on the teserract and starts cracking the timeline.The god of mischief's first Disney plus show was a banger but it didn't make any sense in ways or did it? Marvel I think was so meticulous in writing loki which gave us this masterpiece.
After the what's-not-supposed-to-happen, which is loki using the tesseract he crash lands on gobi desert, Mongolia this scene could be a subtle call back to first iron man movie where a obliviously evil billionaire searches for his redemption as Ironman. As loki broke the original timeline which as the ancient one said in Avengers: endgame, which is also called as the 'sacred timeline' the TVA (time variance authority) kicks in to fix up the fragmented timeline which they use a device to reset the fracture event( loki escaping with the tesseract). Now that loki is apprehended by the TVA he's so confused about what was going on around him. He's taken to the TVA headquarters where he'll be on a trial for breaking the sacred timeline. The weapons that the TVA uses is also time manipulative which is to do with the perpetrator (loki here) when tried to attack them the TVA hunter uses a weapon to slow in down 1/16 th the original time but loki experiences the pain in real time during which they strap a collar on Loki's neck which made him held as hostage to the TVA.
Loki gets his dress burn-stripped and given the TVA accused uniform and was directed down to a table where he signs what he said so far and goes down and heres something new to us. He is now have to pass through a scanner which scans his "temporal aura" which only the living things possess. And if he's a robot he'll be melted from the inside. He passes through it and the machine regurgitates a polaroid pic of his aura. Loki now has to go to his trail room where he'll testify to the judge if he's guilty or not. During which he has to get a ticket to do so. If you don't have the ticket you'll be disintegrated as per the TVA rules. Before loki pleads for his prejury, miss minutes a programmed animated clock in a da screen fills him in as where he is and what's he doing here. Long before time as we know it in MCU was not absolute. There was a huge multi-versal war where multiple timeline collided to establish supremacy but three ancient beings called the time keepers merged all of them to a single timeline called the sacred timeline and henceforth continued enchanting the proper flow of time which clarifies that they are so busy. The TVA's job is to regulate this proper flow of time. Now that the base is employed, in the sacred timeline some of the individuals trigger events as little as going to office late or forgetting the keys of a door which is not intended to be a part of the sacred timeline, create a branching timeline these individualsare called variants and they create 'nexus' events. The nexus event is an event which is common for 2 or more timelines. Now in 1549 at Aix en Provence France hunter U-92 aka mobius is investigating about the death of a TVA employee where a boy is seen to be watching what mobius was doing but mobius calms him down by giving him a hologram and asks him that if he has any idea who might have done it. The boy shows the devil which is in his right side.
Loki now pleads before the judge who is in comics the lover of Kang the conqueror. Loki was about to get reset that is back to his original timeline before which mobius stops the TVA from doing so and takes him to an interrogation room. Where loki sees his past and future. In that interrogation time mobius walked out to discuss about what he was going to do with loki but he left his timetwister device which only affects loki because of the strap on his neck. He takes it to escape and makesa temporal jump where the tesseract was confiscated and being kept from him and successfully gets it and surprise surprise, he sees the other infinity stones just being there powerless and after hearing the fact that it's used as paperweight here, he realises the TVA is a absolute power which is apart from normal world meddeling. He then goes back to the interrogation room to view his future where he sees himself die from the hand of Thanos and realises his life was nothing but pain and suffering.
Now that 's in contemplation tells mobius he is weak and wanted to prove he is not. Mobius offers him a job in TVA to help them fix the timelines. Loki asks him from who and the answer was from loki himself. The final scene included the TVA in the 19th century seeing a device from far future and before they use a jar like device to fic the timeline they are burnt alive by some hooded figure. Cuts to credits. Now what I assume is that the hoodedfigure is nobody but female loki. This is gonna sound crazy but hear me out. The female loki is just another version of loki. Time passes differently in the TVA which is gonna answer all the further questions.
