Why Sylvie is Mad At Loki
At the conclusion of episode 2 of Loki season 2, Sylvie makes it clear that the last person she wants to encounter or engage with is Loki. This is primarily due to his refusal to support her decision in the season 1 finale. Instead of agreeing to Sylvie's plan of eliminating He Who Remains, Loki displayed caution and expressed concern about the potential threats posed by He Who Remains' variants. Sylvie, on the other hand, does not share Loki's belief in the necessity of the TVA for the preservation of the multiverse (and for valid reasons).
General Dox and the Hunters’ Plan Explained
Eventually, X-5 uncovers the secret plans formulated by General Dox and the remaining loyal Hunters of her command. Despite raiding the TVA armories, General Dox adamantly refused to acknowledge any alterations in the fundamental objective of the TVA. According to Dox, branches stemming from the Sacred Timeline still necessitate eradication. Consequently, the TVA general devised an annihilating strategy aimed at obliterating all branches in a single, relentless campaign.
How Dox's Hunters Can Blow Up Whole Timelines
Deploying various temporal charges obtained from the TVA armories, Hunters were dispatched to every branch timeline with the mission to detonate and prune all the divergent realities that originated from the Sacred Timeline subsequent to Sylvie's defeat of He Who Remains. Although this methodology aligns with the established protocol and was previously showcased in Loki season 1, the concurrent pruning of multiple timelines is an unprecedented endeavor.
What Happened To All The Destroyed Branches
As Hunter B-15 witnessed the TVA monitors in horror, her worst fears were confirmed: Dox and her soldiers were unleashing destruction upon billions of lives with each timeline they obliterated. This devastation was particularly heart-wrenching for the nascent multiverse that had begun to emerge in the aftermath of Loki season 1. While it is expected that new branches will inevitably sprout over time, the gravity of the situation cannot be emphasized enough: all those once-thriving lives and realities have tragically vanished, forever erased into the void.
Where Are Ravonna Renslayer and Miss Minutes?
Ravonna Renslayer (Gugu Mbatha-Raw) is missing in Loki season 2, episode 2, prompting the TVA to launch a search for her. It is highly likely that she has become an ally of He Who Remains, and her discovery could shed light on the events surrounding the multiverse and what the TVA can expect from He Who Remains' different versions. Additionally, the episode reveals that Ravonna is working in tandem with the TVA's AI, Miss Minutes, who has abandoned numerous TVA tasks in her absence.
O.B.’s Problem With The TVA’s Temporal Loom Explained
Despite O.B.'s prior intention to upgrade the TVA's Temporal Loom to accommodate the numerous newly originated timelines, it becomes evident in episode 2 of Loki season 2 that only the creator of the blast doors, He Who Remains, possesses the ability to open them. Furthermore, the absence of Miss Minutes makes it impossible to override the systems. Consequently, this is likely the entry point for Victor Timely, a confirmed variant of He Who Remains, into the narrative of Loki season 2. Victor Timely has been glimpsed in the show's trailers and was also hinted at in the post-credits scene of Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania.
What Sylvie Has At The End of Loki Season 2, Episode 2
Sylvie declines Loki's offer to join the TVA and instead returns to her life within the branched timeline at the conclusion of season 2. Notably, she retains He Who Remains' talisman, which surpasses the capabilities of the TVA's standard issue TemPads. This suggests that Sylvie will have a significant and pivotal role in the ongoing storyline of Loki season 2.
