As with ‘WandaVision’, and unlike ‘Falcon and the Winter Soldier’, ‘Loki’ is proving to be a series full of mysteries that are hidden within its narration, for the same reason conspiracy theories and speculations are part of the “deal.” On this occasion, fans have been claiming that the God of Mischief is, in fact, dead, and that the entire series is a “fantasy” or a dream.
Before you press “exit”, and consider that we have gone truly crazy, we explain thems: this is not the first time that some “sources” assure that the protagonists of Disney productions die at some point, and that what we are seeing on the screen is nothing more than “a dream” or “life after death”.
However, in order not to deviate, we will focus clearly on ‘Loki’. Let’s see, it is true that when the series began, and when ‘Avengers: Endgame’ ended, the God of Mischief was alive and well, or, well, at least that of “that” timeline. He who stole the Tesseract.
Now, taking into account the death that Loki suffered in ‘Avengers: Infinity War’, added to the time travel element of ‘Endgame’, we can think that there is a very strange and remote possibility that Thor’s brother is dead and that what we are seeing is a reflection of his “imagination.” Something like his purgatory.
If we remember the fact that TVA is a means of time control and surveillance, we might believe that they used their tricks to resurrect Odin’s son in order to bring him in and work on catching other variants that “move” just how he does. would do. After all, it takes one cheater to recognize another.
On the other hand, if we don’t want to believe this first theory, we have another for you: Loki was murdered on TVA, and since time works differently when you are there, what we are seeing in the series is an agonizing fantasy that Tom Hiddleston’s character developed in his mind after he died.
Remember that when Loki was captured by the TVA he went to trial to receive his sentence, which was to be “eliminated”, for being a very dangerous variant. However, it was Mobius who decided to save him so that he could help him capture another version of the God of Mischief. But what if this is not true? Again, we are looking for the fifth leg of the cat.
However, you may wonder: if Loki is dead, why would he stay working with the TVA and then join Sylvie’s cause? Well, as this is all a “supposed scenario”, we believe that it is all because, even after death, the favorite villain of many continues to seek ways to redeem himself for all the damage he has done.
If we are “rational”, the events in the plot seem to be a path through Loki’s regret. For example, when he showed sensitivity to save the people of Lamentis, since he knows that neither he, nor his brother, could save the victims of Asgard during Ragnarok.
In short, if this theory is true, and we do not really believe that it is, but, if we play along, Loki’s sentence after his death is to dedicate himself to atone for all his sins.
