I have now watched episode 2 of Loki season 2.
I assume that what Loki did with his shadows would fall under Darkness Manipulation.
A large portion (at least 30%) of the timeline branches have been pruned.

Possibly, considering that the Timelines have their own time dimension, the TVA existing outside said temporal dimension and still having time might make it a higher temporal dimension. Thought I hope that in the next episodes they will better explain the time axis present in the TVA to make it more solid.

Would Thor and Eitri being able to communicate and hear each other despite the huge distance and literal outer space between them warrant Enhanced Senses?
- 10,121
- 14,823
I think so, but I think it's just for the two of them.
Groot and Rocket wouldn't benefit from any of this. Rocket was in the space pod for all of Thor's feats in Nidavelir, while Groot didn't seem to notice anything until Thor crashed back into the ring

I guess that would be the explanation for how he could hear Eitri's explanation, especially given that his voice sounded electronic, but that wouldn't explain how Thor could hear him before performing the star feat since Thor has no extra earpieces or stuff on him

Loki manipulating shadows to physically constrain a man suggests that he has a bunch of random powers he hasn't even shown onscreen yet. Aside from questionable MCU storytelling, what's the in-universe explanation for that? He's just a sneaky bastard who plays everyone and everything close to the vest?

Classic Loki mentioned something about sorcery over blades, so I guess the other Lokis just relied too much on weaponry than their own magic
- 10,121

Must have something to do with them trying to show that they're a capable warrior same as Thor. OTL Loki was described by the Warriors Three and Sif to be jealous of Thor, and admitted something similar to Odin and Thor

Question. Shouldn't Gungir have a Varies rating, or at least its AP should since:
• It's what Loki used to fight a Pre-Awakened Thor, who could clash and endure hits and blasts from it. (6-B)
• It's what Pre-Awakened Thor used to fight, clash, impale, and block hits from Hela. (High 6-B)
• It's what Odin, at the peak of his power, would have used in his fight against Peak Eternal Flame Surtur. (High 6-A, likely 5-B)
It being High 6-B would either mean that it gets repaired a lot (either through the dwarves or magic) or it gets replaced with a new one everytime it gets broken.
- 8,997

Not to forget Peak Hela as well
I guess a Varies rating should be alright. Though I wonder if Base Stormbreaker would scale to its peak since it was created to be Asgard's greatest weapon
- 10,121
- 14,823
I think it might since in Infinity War nothing actually managed to stop it, and then in Endgame, Stormbreaker and Thanos's Sword never actually clashed blades, Thanos blocked Stormbreaker by its handle using the blunt part of his Sword near the hilt.
But that's only if we separate the Axe's Blade's AP from the AP that comes from the lightning it channels from Thor.
Or maybe Odin's level of power contributed to Gungir's statistics in the same way how Thor's level of power contributed to Mjolnir & Stormbreaker's statistics becoming as powerful as they were in L&T

Is the Loki storyline heading toward him officially leading the TVA? Not on a throne, but as its chief bureaucrat or something? S1 E1 had Mobius mock him by asking if he wanted to be "King of Space." At the end of Quantumania, Scott's internal monologue said he thought he beat a "time travelling space king" aka Kang aka a variant of HWR the secret creator of the TVA. And, a prince by birthright, Loki has always desired a throne. Since Thanos killed Sacred Timeline Loki, I'm not seeing this variant also get killed, permanently, at least. So, what then? Does he eventually lead the TVA? It's not like Sylvie wants that job at all.
- 8,997

Yeah, I think that's where Stormbreaker's AP rating generally relies on, going by the justifications
The ultimate endgame seems to be reuniting Variant L1130 Loki with Sacred Timeline Thor

Empathic Manipulation for the Mind Stone, and I guess resistance for those who can use it without being affected by it like Loki

Interestingly, the Phase One: Thor book outright describes the Bifrost energies in the Observatory as being frozen in the shape of the World Tree. A possible implication that Yggdrasil is the true source of Bifrost energies? (Also, seemingly further evidence that the energy output of the Bifrost was increasing over time)

At this point, the only in verse characters who should be considered experts on MCU time mechanics should be the Watcher, Kang variants, and maybe OB. Everyone else is either misinformed or does not have enough info.

I love the new season before, but they really need to decide what side they’re trying to push between purging and not purging. They’re trying to push the “HWR was right” narrative with Loki, but then also have everyone rushing to stop Dox’s purging campaign.
Shouldn’t new branches be growing almost immediately in place of the own? Especially considering every possible action is supposed to create a new branch?

It seems the emergence of Kang variants is an overarching danger that needs to eventually be handled, but it can't come at the cost of destroying trillions of innocent lives. At least, that's how I interpret it. But the main threat they are focusing on seems to be stopping the destruction of the TVA
New branches will constantly be forming, especially since Dox and her loyalists are mostly detained and the TVA seem to be mostly set on not destroying branched timelines anymore. But the lost of lives in the pruned ones can't be undone

Would Loki have Resistance to Mind Manipulation, since Sylvie couldn't enchant him and he stated that his mind was too strong?

VFX supervisor Pete Dionne on Gorr's moon: “The moon does a complete orbit in less than 20 seconds because its so tiny and twirling quickly,”
Another statement Dionne made: "This sequence takes place on a tiny spinning low-gravity moon, complete with miniaturized terrain features like a one-metre high Andes mountain range, and with a 20 second orbit of the sun."

Does this change how we scale L&T characters at all?

I think it implies that Gorr wasn't the one controlling the moon's orbit, but that's just what I think.
But their scaling above other gods such as Khonsu and Ammit should still be fine, I hope

It seems to suggest that the reasoning for the "possibly 4-C" part of their ratings isn't valid.
- 10,121
- 14,823
- 1,446

The current reasoning on Gorr's profile:
possibly Star level (Empowered by the Necrosword, whose power can seemingly move a star[1])
This reasoning doesn't seem to work if the moon just has a fast orbit around the star, so...
