6 Best Fan Theories to Look Forward of Loki Finale
Before the highly recommended finale of Loki, let us take a look at some of the best fan theories that have surfaced online.
The Marvel Cinematic Universe’s Phase 4 venture of releasing series based on its popular characters, is paying off. Throughout the last five weeks, fans of Loki have paid brief attention to the show, mapping out tiny details and coming up with theories in the anxiety of the finale. Loki has now been glorified as one of the best ventures launched by the MCU.
In the fifth episode, we saw Loki meet all the other versions of him, where he woke up after being sniped. We saw the adorable, albeit scary alligator Loki. We saw Kid Loki whose Nexus event was killing Thor. We also saw classic Loki, who had a much bigger role than we predicted. Then, there was President Loki, who fans thought would have had a big role in the show, but ended up being a brief whiff of fresh air. Then there is Alioth, a beast who resists people from leaving the void.
We then saw Loki reunite with Mobius and Sylvie, who were all pruned and ended up in the void. Sylvie then tells Loki that she can mesmerize Alioth, and find out who is responsible for creating the TVA. In the last scene, we see Loki, Sylvie and Classic Loki put their powers together to outmanoeuvre Alioth. The show left us with the quick image of a palace far away, giving us a hint as to who is behind these expansions.
Now, picking up the easter eggs from the entire series, eagle-eyed fans have come up with fan theories to predict the end of the show. Some of these allude to bigger villains, some of them point to existing characters, but most of these are mind-blowing.
One of the most popular fan theories that have surfaced online is that the force behind TVA is evil or King Variant of Loki himself. This came up after Marvel released a mid-season teaser, which saw an image of Loki sitting on the throne. Now that we know that Loki and Sylvie are heading towards a castle, and that image is still unaccounted for, people are sure that the big evildoer of the show is Loki himself.
Another variation of this theory is that Classic Loki, who sacrificed his life to help Sylvie and Loki, might be King Loki. We saw that he had already faked his death from Thanos, and might have done to fool the two of them too. While this contradicts the heartwarming impact his character made in episode 5, it will still be a fun twist.
A lot of fans are saying that in true Loki style, Sylvie will be betraying the God of Mischief in the last episode. While it will be heartbreaking to watch, it will be fun to see how Loki’s develop but keep some parts of themselves intact. In the MCU our Loki has gone through a lot of salvation, and Sylvie hasn’t. Similarly, Sylvie was a serial killer a few episodes ago.
