Here’s the Loki Episode 6 ending explained featuring major spoilers from the finale. Dive deeper into what happened at the end with the following breakdown and analysis.
How does Loki save the Multiverse at the end of Loki season 2 episode 6?
Loki takes the place of He Who Remains and revives all the branches with his magic, turning the multiverse into a literal Yggdrasil, the tree of life.
Throughout episode 6, we see Loki trying to save the temporal loom from exploding. But learning the mechanics of the TVA for centuries while attempting to prevent the Temporal loom’s meltdown, Loki ends up going back to the moment Sylvie killed He Who Remains.
Speaking to him, he figures out that He Who Remains was responsible for his time slipping. Furthermore, the only way to save the Multiverse is to kill Sylvie, who is hell-bent on killing He Who Remains at all costs. But he couldn’t do that because of his love for her.
So, trying to save her and the TVA, Loki figures out that the only way to do that is to take the place of He Who Remains and replace him with someone better. He does exactly and takes it upon himself to blow up the temporal loom, which was just a failsafe to keep the Sacred Timeline intact.
He physically grabs all the branches, takes his throne at the end of time, and fulfills his “Glorious Purpose” by becoming the God of Stories, keeping the entire multiverse alive with his magic. Instead of one Sacred Timeline, Loki allows the entire multiverse and its branches to exist with his magic, turning it into Yggdrasil, the tree of life from Norse Mythology.
From someone who was arguably the MCU’s greatest villain, he becomes the greatest hero by watching over the multiverse and keeping it intact.
How Loki Season 2 sets up the rest of MCU Phase 5 & 6
While Season 3 may or may not happen, Loki Season 2 sets up future MCU projects such as Deadpool 3, Avengers: The Kang Dynasty, and Avengers: Secret Wars.
Loki takes up a very lonely job of watching over the Multiverse to ensure the safety of his friends and allow everyone else to have a choice. In the position that he now holds, it’s likely that Season 3 will not happen. So we shouldn’t expect Loki to return until Avengers 5 or 6.
Meanwhile, Sylvie and Mobius follow separate paths looking to create their own destiny. Hunter B-15 gets a seat at the TVA high table and Miss Minutes gets rebooted. She and the TVA are now expected to return in Deadpool 3 as Ryan Reynolds already teased that. Ravonna Renslayer is left in the void before the end of time and becomes a meal for Alioth.
Lastly, the variants of Kang were said to have gotten loose as we saw in Quantumania, and they’re now expected to return in Avengers: The Kang Dynasty.
