^ hopefully to be revealed in future episodes

why everyone says it's a self cest relationship? Well, they're not really each other. Both have already developed a very independent, specific characters of their own. But sometimes I still hope the lover will be named Sigyn. I like mythical references though.

Next episode when?

What a Variant because she stole a Viking kid's toy ship? Nice callback with her stealing the TemPad like how Loki did with Mobius earlier. A really neat reference? Pause on Hunter Ravonna, her designation is A-23. Avengers #23 features Kang and is Ravonna's first comic book appearance.

But both impressive and sad to learn Sylvie really was on the run her whole life.

Knew the Time-Keepers were fake. Knew the Wizard of Oz ruse coming. Now for the puppet master... He Who Remains? Another Loki like Ikol? Beyonder? Kang or Immortus seems too obvious. Or Miss Minutes could fit into the reveal. Can't wait to see what else Judge Ravonna Renslayer knows, since that would detail why she would go to all these lengths to keep the TVA going and "protecting the timeline" or if was just part of her reprogramming when she became a Hunter. Or why some like her and Mobius get names, while the Hunters are numbered like Clone or Stormtroopers.

Yes! They kept Lady Sif's return a secret and it was hilarious. Loki cutting Sif's hair was a nice nod to actual Norse myth. And wow, Asgard. An AU Asgard, but still, missed seeing that place. Also dug the name drop of the Kree, Titans, and... vampires!

I suppose the special nexus event was their spin on what could be even worse than the grandfather paradox. What if two alternate versions of the same person fell in love? Yeah, that would definitely give the sacred timeline fits. But I can see it being two-fold and being a metaphor for self-love and coming to terms with what one wants, the latter being what Mobius kept trying to get Loki to admit to at the start of the show. Coming out of denial, resolving one's issues, self-loathing, and personal demons, and becoming your best self. Or in this case, the superior Loki.

Props to Wunmi Mosaku pulling off B-15's crisis of faith arc in this episode.

The pruning turning out to be teleportation to I guess a permanent time cell type world. I saw skyscrapers and light poles - a pruned New York City? I am pretty sure I saw a wrecked Avengers Tower. Maybe this was pruned from a Nexus event where a Loki won the Battle of New York/the nuke hit the city. I wonder if that is what the TVA bombs do, too, and teleport only. It would a funny gag if it turned out that when Sylvie set off the bombs on the timeline all at once in specific times and places, it sent people and things to this place that will benefit the Lokis escape. Wow, we got Scarlet Witch and Vision classic costumes in WandaVision. Now we got Loki's classic costume. But what up with Classic Loki having a purse and Croc Loki?! Croc Loki is the brother of Frog Thor? lmao if yes.

I don't think Sylvie stole that toy ship. I'm sure those were her toys. She's a variant for being a girl when Loki was supposed to be a man. At least that's what she thinks when she talked about how she was "born the GODDESS of Mischief." Loki needs magic to change his sex, and considering how her mother never taught her magic and she had to teach herself while on the run, she didn't have magic when the TVA abducted her, but she was a little girl so it was her chromosomes that made her a variant, not something she did. As for why the TVA arrested her at the age of 10 instead of the day she was born, maybe the branch of the timeline for being born different was going slowly and the TVA were busy with other more serious crimes against the timeline?

I think they would’ve took her when she was born. Maybe she is masculine like Loki and wanted to be feminine, which didn’t change the timeline bc she can still change back. But playing with those toys made her want to be a Valkyrie, like she mentioned when she was playing. And that’s what caused the nexus event bc it means she doesn’t want to be masculine at all

But wouldn't she need magic and shapeshifting? Didn't she only teach herself magic while on the run?

@LR2159 Nah, she was born a girl. I think the reason why they took her is because the way she was raised gives her a path where she would be good. For example, she was told that she was adopted by an earlier age, so that means she wouldn't have bitterness towards her family. Since Loki is supposed to be evil in the sacred timeline, they took her away.

^^^^ But she's been a girl her whole life, why would they wait so long before bringing her before the TVA?

@Miss Minutes da clock Like I said, they took her in because she is set up to have a good life and be good. Since Loki is supposed to be evil in the sacred timeline, they took her away.
