Energy Absorption and Electricity Manipulation is noice
 
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.
 
Considering that the TVA exists outside of time and space but still has its own past, present and future, which functions differently since altering the past in the TVA affects the future, would that imply the existence of a higher temporal dimension?

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.
 
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

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.

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

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.

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

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
