In a recent video, Loki is shown beating up several of the TVA’s goons, suggesting that their relationship isn’t improving in Loki’s second season.
The Temporal Variance Authority, or TVA, was a group that was first introduced in the popular Marvel Studios Disney+ series from 2021. What was originally known as the Sacred Timeline was regulated by the enigmatic Multiveral agency, which was led by Jonathan Majors‘ He Who Remains (also known as Kang the Conqueror). They made every effort to prevent this timeline from branching into endless parallel worlds.
They obviously failed.
Although the Multiverse is free, Loki Season 2 suggests that the TVA is still operational.
Loki versus TVA
Fresh video from Loki Season 2 is featured in a new promo from Covered Geekly, in which the titular trickster is shown fending off several adversaries.
The TVA, who played a significant role in the first season of the series, are the villains in question.
Indeed, a promotional video from early February featured this incident. The identity of Tom Hiddleston‘s assailants remained a mystery due to the initial cropped ratio, nevertheless.
Fans should not be concerned, though, as Loki will have a tonne of new tricks up his sleeve even though he doesn’t appear to display any new skills in the brief new trailer.
The television show provided viewers a quick sight of what appeared to be Loki casting his duplicate casting abilities back in December 2022.
This new duplicate trick (as long as that’s what’s being depicted), as the God of Mischief noted in Episode 2 of Season 1, is truly distinct from his typical illusions:
“Illusion projection involves depicting a detailed image from outside oneself which is perceptible in the external world whereas duplication casting entails recreating an exact facsimile of one’s own body in its present circumstance which acts as a true holographic mirror of its molecular structure.”
Given the subject matter of the programme, there is obviously a possibility that those extra Lokis are Variants, but that doesn’t feel right. Because if that were the case, relationships between people appear to be way too good.
Many Aspects of Loki Laufeyson
Tom Hiddleston, who created this character back in 2011, is undoubtedly having a pleasure exploring all of his hidden talents and eccentricities. The God of Mischief still has more tricks up his sleeve twelve years later, for whatever reason.
One is left to wonder what other surprises he may have planned for his second campaign.
What the TVA is doing, though, remains a great mystery after this fresh set of programmes ?
What exactly do they exist for if the Holy Timeline is broken and the Multiverse has gone too far? What’s the reason behind Loki‘s self-defense against them?
There will undoubtedly still be a link between the organisation charged with protecting the timelines and the main antagonist of the Multiverse Saga because Kang always follows the TVA.
Jonathan Majors‘ appearance in Season 2 has already been established, thus Kang will inevitably be involved in the plot.
Victor Timely, at least one Variant, was shown in Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania‘s second post-credits sequence and will be taking part in the fun.
Sadly, the answer won’t be revealed to viewers until Loki Season 2 begins, which will happen before the year is over.
