Loki Episode 2: 8 Biggest Questions
6. Could Loki Actually Overthrow The TVA?
If there is one thing known about Loki, it is that he loves and craves power. After living for years in Thor's shadow, he tried to overthrow Asgard, tried to conquer Earth, and on the original timeline he actually did rule Asgard for a time under the guise of Odin.
This is his default setting, and as soon as he saw the true power of the Time Variance Authority, he sought it for himself. Since then he has pestered Mobius for an audience with the Time Keepers, and he tried to recruit the other Variant Loki as a comrade in his quest to overthrow the three space lizards.
It's a bold plan, no doubt, but could Loki actually finish the series in charge of the entire Sacred Timeline? He wants to rule, and this would see him overlooking every being in existence ever. Yet, as pointed out by Mobius in the first episode, Loki is a perennial loser.
It seems that it is his lot in life to lose so that others around him may discover their best versions of themselves. He lost to the Avengers on Earth, could he just be setting himself up to lose to Renslayer and the Time Keepers as well?
