Avengers: Endgame and Loki (Driskoll Xun)

And mostly unrelated:  It makes the most sense to me that The Ancient One herself orchestrated the fumble that allowed Loki to escape. I suppose we'll see soon enough how Loki is able to manipulate both Time and Space. I don't see what they would have been able to do. Tony and Bruce made the Quantum Tunnel, the Pym Particles were just the batteries essentially, improving them in some way wouldn't change how the time travel works. And Pym Particles are Pym Particles, we know in 50 years they didn't change in how they function as batteries for the time travel.

Why would the Ancient One orchestrate that? Also it doesn't look like Loki will be about that alternate timeline (thankfully, in my opinion). Pym did much more than particles. Tony and Bruce built upon the tech Pym developed throughout Ant-Man and the Wasp. Janet was improving upon that tech at the end. At the very least, the Avengers reverse engineered the contraption in Scott's van. I wouldn't have put it past Pym for already knowing the theory that Stark stumbled upon, but simply being adamant against persuing it. Pym's own stubborness is his worst enemy, though it is hard to guess his attitude upon being returned to reality.

Regarding the Ancient One: The only timeline in which she knows that Thanos is coming just happens to be the one in which Loki escapes. She wasn't overly moralistic; rather, pragmatic to a fault. I hope you are right about the upcoming Loki series.
