This article includes spoilers from Loki’s finale. We include countless details about the plot points from that episode. If you don’t wish to learn about the happening from episode six, then you should leave immediately.
Last chance!
At the end of episode six of Loki, it felt like no coincidence that the out-of-control branching of the multiverse looked like fireworks: chaotic, destructive, beautiful and out of control.
That’s more or less what He Who Remains (Jonathan Majors) explained to Sylvie (Sophia Di Martino) and Loki (Tom Hiddleston).
“I’ll see you soon,” He Who Remains uttered as his (not) last words.
So dark. So epic.
He warned the Loki Variants, after all, that he’d be back in one form or another if they chose to kill him.
“I’ve been dubbed many names by many people: a ruler, a conqueror, He Who Remains, a jerk. But it’s not as simple as a name,” Majors’ character said.
So if you were waiting for Kang the Conqueror — one of Marvel’s biggest, baddest villains who I expected to see in this finale — you may have to wait a little longer. Why? Well, I’d argue that we didn’t actually see Kang in this finale. We saw a different Variant of Nathaniel Richards, a person who eventually becomes Kang the Conqueror.
The comic books explore this concept. Richards ultimately ends up having multiple aliases due to his multiple Variants through the multiverse. If your head is spinning, then don’t worry. We’re going to walk you through this.
