The Loki finale is well-nigh here, and we're gear up for answers. Or at to the lowest degree one big respond: who's behind the TVA? And, no, it wasn't Agatha all along. Nor was it Mephisto, either, WandaVision fans.

Considering right at present, nosotros're hoping that the Loki finale doesn't get bit with the same bug that the WandaVision finale did — disappointment. Practise you lot recall how Paul Bettany trolled us all into thinking a major cameo was coming, only for it to be a gag nearly White Vision?

So with Loki'southward finale ready to drop this Wednesday, July 13, at iii a.thousand. ET, here's what we're hoping to see resolved — or at to the lowest degree, non left dangling similar an errant timeline.

Loki finale: Who's the big bad TVA boss?

OK, hither's the big question: who's in that edifice nosotros saw at the cease of Loki episode 5, when Sylvie enchanted Alioth, who and so pulled back the first layer of the Wizard of Oz-like curtain?

Will we get an emotionally rewarding terminal dominate for Loki and Sylvie, or i that'south simply a setup for the future MCU movies? If it'due south the former, and information technology turns out to exist another Loki, or 1 of the variants we already know, there could be bang-up drama to wring out of information technology.

If the person behind the TVA matches the rumors and expectations, it may probable merely be the latter, leaving many asking "who is Kang the Conqueror?" Short respond: 1-fourth dimension honey involvement for Ravonna Renslayer (Gugu Mbatha-Raw) in the comics, and a time-traveling large bad expected to announced in Ant-Man 3. Jonathan Majors, who is going to play Kang, has denied any involvement.

Ever since it was revealed that the evil Loki variant was Sylvie, and that Sylvie is (apparently) doing good, the TVA went from weird establishment to creepy disciplinarian regime. Now, we demand an reply about who's behind information technology all, and that'southward something we can expect.

Loki finale: Where do Loki and Sylvie go from here?

Loki and Sylvie, both variants themselves, have never felt long for this globe. And, no, that'due south not just because they've spent much of this season dwelling in places on the verge of apocalypse.

Variants, we've been told repeatedly, don't last. At to the lowest degree, that is, without becoming TVA employees (a reveal from Loki episode 3). We're betting that Loki and Sylvie can't both be made canonical, equally they're both variants of the same person.

Will they both become employees of a new, less-evil Time Variance Authorisation? This, oddly, seems like the mode the serial could become. Or, Loki and Sylvie kill whomever is responsible for the TVA, and so the organization goes abroad — who'southward to say they're variants at all?

Loki finale: When do nosotros open the multiverse?

Speaking of which, when it comes to the big agenda of Marvel movies, Loki is interestingly placed on a large precipice. The cognition we've learned about timelines, multiverses and nexus events will likely play something of a role in both Spider-Human: No Manner Dwelling (Dec 17, 2021) and Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness (Mar 25, 2022).

So, it seems similar this is a perfect fourth dimension to detonate the dominion book when it comes to the multiverse. Throw all the TVA regulations out the window, and open the doors for all the cameos and surprises.

The only real conundrum is if this happens at the stop of Loki or not. All of the Spider-Man 3 rumors (concerning past Spider-Homo actors returning) definitely propose it's going to happen. We simply want to know when information technology's going down.

Loki finale: What near the spare Infinity Stones?

When it comes to leaving no plot-thread un-tied, we demand to become dorsum to the desk of TVA employee Casey (Eugene Cordero). Because magic doesn't work at the TVA, he has more Infinity Stones than Thanos could ever dream of property.

If the Loki finale doesn't put a cap on the being of those gems, we're going to exist looking over our shoulder for them in every movie, much like Tony Soprano when the screen cut to black.

Loki finale: Does Mobius go a jet ski?

Marvel loves to use end-credits scenes to explain what comes adjacent in the MCU, so we're going to demand ii if it'southward going to exercise this for Loki. One to necktie the serial to the next upcoming Marvel movie or show, and another to just show the glee in Mobius' eyes as he drives a jet ski along the water.

Information technology'south all he'south ever wanted, as far as he knows. And it'due south all nosotros want for Loki's bantering buddy. And, yes, this aquatic moment likewise needs a cameo from Alligator Loki. It's what's right. Y'all know it, I know it, even Miss Minutes knows it.
