I personally think they should make a What If episode where they take down Captain America because they shot him in zee legs because his shield is the size of a dinner plate and he’s an idiot

[laufeybur]

Loki selfcest fine in theory but in practice they made girl Loki blonde and explicitly cisfem and not named Loki so that it would be less weird . Coward move. There should have been two tom hiddlestons kissing each other

[laufeybur]

He’s right and he should say it.

[laufeybur]

yeah.

Also I saw somewhere apparently it's an alligator but I don't make the rules, their name is Croki.

[laufeybur]

just thinking about how loki couldn't have known mobius was looking at sylvie in that moment... how he must've just heard mobius whisper "you're my favorite" and thought it was directed at him... just thinking about it casually, not crying at all...

‘So we used this reference to make our alligator based off of this particular Wally alligator. There can’t just be an alligator. It can’t be just something that’s, like, ‘Ah, well. That’s just an alligator.’

Luke McDonald, Additional VFX Supervisor on Marvel Studios’ ‘Loki’ talks about the development of Alligator Loki

ALRIGHT so I’m a bit late to give my thoughts on the finale but

The way that Loki correctly identifies in episode 3 that Sylvie’s mission is her “glorious purpose,” but later falls into the trap of letting love give him rose-colored glasses, and starts believing that she’s better than him - that she’s broken free of the cycle and is truly a hero, that she’s trying to save the universe out of selflessness -

And then the way that the crux of the finale, the realization that the entire last scene hinges on, is the fact that Sylvie… is Loki. She’s not better or purer or more principled than him. She’s Loki, fundamentally, and he understands exactly what’s happening in her head because this is him. He Who Remains is her Laufey. The TVA is her Jotunheim. She’s in exactly the same place that Loki was in Thor 1, and Loki is trapped in Thor’s position, desperately trying to stop a loved one from doing something terrible.

It’s foreshadowed so clearly in episode 5:

“We lie and we cheat, we cut the throat of every person who trusts us, and for what? … Glorious purpose!”

And then, literally 5 lines later:

“And you trust her?”

“She’s the only one I do trust.”

Loki spends the whole series confronting different parts of himself and moving past them. He confronts his violence and admits to himself that he hurts people to feel in control, he has his own self-importance ripped out and deconstructed in front of him, he sees one of his schemes from the outside and realizes that the tendencies that make him feel powerful mostly just make him look like an obnoxious, predictable asshole, and now… 

He confronts himself, at the most pivotal moment of his life. He feels that same desperation of trying and failing to stop his loved one, blinded by their own pain and grief and rage, from bringing down destruction on countless innocent people. He feels the same pain, of being forced to fight someone he loves and trusts, and having them reject that trust to follow their revenge. He is Thor, and Sylvie is Loki, and she shoves him through the door as surely as he let go of the spear and allowed himself to fall. He finally faces up to what he put Thor through in that moment. And then he picks himself up and moves on, because he has the conviction to do that now.
