With the recent release of Episode 5 on Disney+, fans of Loki Season 2 eagerly await its season finale, prompting speculation about the presence of a post-credits scene.
In Episode 5, Loki attains mastery over a significant new power, granting fans a glimpse into the diverse lives of their beloved characters within the multiverse. Yet, curious fans are speculating whether this penultimate episode of the season includes a post-credits scene. Here is everything we are aware of.
Does Loki Season 2 Episode 5 contain a post-credits scene?
Loki Season 2 Episode 5 does have a post-credits scene, but it’s just audio.
After the credits roll at the conclusion of the episode, you'll catch Brad Wolfe, also known as Zaniac, uttering the phrase, "You've met your demise, insert a coin, LOSER!"
Wolfe, formerly a member of the TVA's Minute Men, ventured into an alternate timeline in pursuit of Sylvie and subsequently achieved stardom in the movie industry, where he played the lead role in the film Zaniac! This choice of role pays homage to a villain associated with Thor.
You can hear the same message earlier in the episode when Loki and Sylvie are drinking at a bar as it plays on a Zaniac arcade game in the establishment.

While this audio-only post-credits scene may appear as a playful gesture from the studio towards fans who quickly browse for additional content after the show, it could potentially serve as a foreshadowing of events to come in the season finale.
The scene's underlying message could possibly be a cautionary note to fans, suggesting that despite Loki and his team's utmost endeavors, their mission to rescue the TVA is destined to fail. However, with Loki now possessing enhanced control over his temporal abilities, they have the opportunity to "insert a new coin" and make another attempt.

Editor's P/S
As a Gen Z netizen, I have mixed feelings about the post-credits scene in Loki Season 2 Episode 5. On the one hand, I appreciate the humor and the reference to the Zaniac character from Thor. On the other hand, I find it a bit disappointing that the post-credits scene is just an audio clip and not a full-fledged video scene. I think it would have been more satisfying to see a glimpse of what's to come in the season finale, or at least a hint about the fate of the TVA.
Overall, I think the post-credits scene in Loki Season 2 Episode 5 is a fun and clever addition, but it leaves me wanting more. I'm hoping that the season finale will deliver a more substantial post-credits scene that will give us a glimpse into the future of the MCU.
