The Mind-Blowing Twist at the End of Loki Season 2 Episode 3: Unraveling the Secrets

Warning! This article contains spoilers for Loki season 2, episode 3, "1893."

Summary

Miss Minutes has a secret that could potentially change the dynamics of Loki and the entire MCU. This revelation leads to intriguing theories about Ravonna Renslayer's past and her potential link to Kang the Conqueror. Based on their history in Marvel Comics, the theory of Ravonna Renslayer and Kang the Conqueror being lovers in the MCU gains credibility, further supported by the recording Loki heard in episode 1.

The potential familial connection between Ravonna Renslayer and Kang the Conqueror, whether as an ancestor, descendant, or possible heir, presents a complex and unexpected twist for viewers of the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). The cliffhanger finale of Loki season 2, episode 3, has sparked various theories regarding the nature of this significant secret. With Phase 5 of Loki in full swing, having already aired half of its season, the introduction of Jonathan Majors' Victor Timely into the MCU has captivated audiences, particularly after his teaser appearance in the post-credits scene of Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania. In episode 3, titled "1893," Loki and Mobius journey to the 1893 Chicago World's Fair to locate Ravonna Renslayer and Miss Minutes, only to unexpectedly encounter Kang the Conqueror and his variant He Who Remains, Victor Timely. This enigmatic conclusion has left many viewers intrigued.

After Sylvie handed over Victor Timely to the TVA in the finale of Loki season 2, episode 3, she confronts Renslayer and forcefully sends her through a Time Door to the Citadel at the End of Time. In a grim scene with the crumbling Citadel, Renslayer is joined by Miss Minutes, who experienced some unsettling events in "1893." As they appear to be trapped, Miss Minutes hints at having a secret to share. Although the episode concludes without unveiling the secret, Reddit users have sparked various intriguing theories regarding Miss Minutes' revelation.

7 He Who Remains & Ravonna Renslayer Ruled The TVA Together

One possibility for Miss Minutes' secret is that Ravonna Renslayer may have previously held a position of authority within the Time Variance Authority alongside He Who Remains. In Loki season 2, it has been revealed that the TVA staff have their memories wiped on a regular basis, except for Ke Huy Quan's Ouroboros. This suggests that Renslayer may have had a past as the ruler of the TVA before being displaced and having her memory erased by He Who Remains. After her encounter with Victor Timely in "1893," Renslayer asserts her control, at least until Sylvie appears, implying that her influence extends throughout the entire TVA.

6 Ravonna Renslayer Is A Variant Of Kang The Conqueror

A theory that has gained significant attention after the release of episode 3 of Loki season 2 suggests that Ravonna Renslayer, alongside He Who Remains and Victor Timely, might actually be a variant of Kang the Conqueror. If this revelation turns out to be true, it could have profound implications for not only Loki's storyline but also for the entire Marvel Cinematic Universe. It would mark the first appearance of one of Kang's female variants and a variant who does not resemble Jonathan Majors. Furthermore, this revelation would parallel Loki's overarching narrative, particularly if Kang the Conqueror and Ravonna Renslayer shared a past relationship.

5 He Who Remains & Ravonna Renslayer Were Lovers

This prevalent hypothesis is highly convincing, especially when considering the history of Kang the Conqueror and Ravonna Renslayer in Marvel Comics. Kang and Renslayer had a long and tumultuous romantic relationship in the comics, which makes the idea of them being lovers in the MCU quite feasible. Moreover, this would lend significance to the recording Loki overheard in Loki season 2, episode 1, "Ouroboros," where he seemingly heard He Who Remains (or another variant) speaking affectionately about Renslayer. The episode "1893" hinted at a romance between Renslayer and Victor Timely, thus it wouldn't be unreasonable to speculate this as Miss Minutes' major secret.

4 Ravonna Renslayer & Kang The Conqueror Are Related

Speculation has emerged suggesting that Ravonna Renslayer, rather than being romantically linked to Kang the Conqueror, may actually be his ancestor or descendant. In the Marvel Comics, Kang was often in search of an heir to his empire, and it is plausible that Renslayer could be filling this significant role in the MCU. Miss Minutes could potentially unveil Renslayer as Kang's daughter, mother, or even a more distant ancestor. However, this revelation would undoubtedly complicate matters since Ravonna Renslayer and Victor Timely appeared to have developed a romantic relationship in "1893." Irrespective, such a revelation would undoubtedly astonish MCU viewers.

3 He Who Remains Pruned Ravonna Renslayer

A scene from the trailer of Loki season 2 depicts Ravonna Renslayer seemingly trapped in the Void, surrounded by the eerie purple glow of the smoke-creature Alioth. In Loki season 1, the Void was introduced as the TVA's dumping ground - a desolate realm at the end of time where all that the TVA prunes is disposed of, including various hidden references to Marvel and potentially numerous iterations of Loki. It is conceivable that, after concluding their arrangement and deeming Renslayer no longer useful in maintaining the TVA, He Who Remains may have cast aside his former ally, leaving her to either flee from Alioth indefinitely or face a swift and painless demise.

2 Miss Minutes Knows About Ravonna Renslayer’s Life On The Sacred Timeline

In Loki season 2, episode 3, Ouroboros confirmed that Miss Minutes not only has complete administrative access to the TVA, but also to the entire universe. This revelation suggests that she possesses knowledge about the past lives of all TVA workers on the Sacred Timeline. It is possible that this information is her significant secret, which she plans to disclose to Renslayer. This revelation may uncover the mysteries surrounding Renslayer's own journey on the Sacred Timeline and potentially reveal her own Nexus Event. In the first season of Loki, the variant Renslayer, played by Rebecca Tourminet, was introduced as a teacher. However, it remains unclear if this represents Renslayer's true history, and the reasons for her initial capture by He Who Remains are still unknown.

1 Miss Minutes Convinced He Who Remains To Wipe Renslayer’s Memory

In addition to further developing Kang the Conqueror's mythos and Ravonna Renslayer's character, episode 3 of Loki season 2 delved into Miss Minutes' character development. Specifically, it unveiled Miss Minutes' romantic interest in He Who Remains and Victor Timely, which resulted in jealousy when Renslayer and Timely formed a romantic connection. This suggests that Miss Minutes may have influenced He Who Remains to erase Renslayer's memories, revealing her potential control over him and her true villainous nature.

The secret involving Miss Minutes in Loki season 2, episode 3 will remain unknown until the next episode airs on October 26, 2023. With other mysteries to be unraveled, such as Victor Timely's role at the TVA, the identity of the person who pruned Loki in "Ouroboros," the reason for OB's memory remaining intact, and the events unfolding at the Citadel at the End of Time, the remaining episodes of Loki season 2 are bound to offer numerous surprises. The reveal of Miss Minutes' secret regarding Ravonna Renslayer will likely be just one part of a larger puzzle, with the potential to impact the MCU significantly.
