How Loki Season 1 Created The Council Of Kangs
He Who stay explained to Loki and Sylvie ( Sophia Di Martino ) that in rules of order to end the multiversal war triggered by his discrepancy , he isolated his timeline and created the TVA to keep it from branching out . Atthe terminal ofLokiseason 1 , Sylvie sent Loki back to the TVA thanks to a TemPad and killed He Who rest , which led the Sacred Timeline to ramify out , with no one controlling it or arrest it . Lokiseason 2 episode 1 saw the chaos at the TVA as the Sacred Timeline keep branching out , and this was most likely what made way for the creation of the Council of Kangs .
The Council of Kangs made their launching inAnt - Man and the Wasp : Quantumania ’s mid - credits scene , and it ’s led by Immortus , Rama - Tut , and Scarlet Centurion , but there were thousands of variants in attending . The branches of the Sacred Timeline going haywire afterLokiseason 1 would have allowed the appearance of countless Kang var. , who give thanks to their noesis and advanced technology , would have find a way to get together .
Loki Season 2 Retconned The First Season’s Ending
When Loki was sent back to the TVA at the remnant ofLokiseason 1 , Mobius and B-15 did n’t recognize him , and Loki was horrified when he see a jumbo statue of a Kang variant in the middle of the TVA . It was understand that Loki had landed in the futurity , where a Kang variant ( most likely the Conqueror ) had take over the TVA as a issue of He Who Remains ’ death , butLokiseason 2 instalment 1 quickly retconned this by revealing Loki was really in the past . Due toLoki ’s time - slip , the God of Mischief was unintentionally jumping between past , present , and future , and while this was said to be a outcome of the forking of the Sacred Timeline , it ’s unclear why Loki specifically initiate fourth dimension - slipping .
The past tense Loki keep going back to is one from hundreds of years ago when He Who remain was n’t obliterate while harness the TVA and before he created the lie of the Time Keepers to keep the TVA ’s employee in check ( and , of course , before he wipe their computer storage ) . This reveals that time in the MCU is a circle , so He Who Remains can still return , and that could have some interesting yet dangerous consequences if he touch with the Council of Kangs .
Why The Sacred Timeline Crumbling Sets Up Kang’s Future Multiversal War
He Who Remains was unclouded when telling Loki and Sylvie that killing him would end the Sacred Timeline and risk another multiversal war triggered by his variants , and while it ’s still too other inLokiseason 2 to know how far this has gone , there were credit of “ variants are coming” . Lokiseason 2 has already introducedthe TVA ’s Temporal Loom , a elbow room where raw time is fine-tune into the strong-arm elements of the timeline , and thus is responsible for the creation of timeline . It seems that the Temporal Loom has to fail and the Kangs have to come from the explosion of the branches , meaningLokiseason 2 would have to be set beforeQuantumania ’s mid - credits conniption .
This is absolutely possible thanks to the way time exists in the TVA , though it would makethe Multiverse Saga ’s timelineeven more confusing than it already is . Even thoughLokiseason 2 retconned the termination of season 1 , the death of He Who Remains and the crumbling of the Sacred Timeline will be central to the future of Kang ’s form and their approaching multiversal warfare .
