Lamentis 1 marvel6/21/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() When she's not working, you can find her on Twitter chirping about movies & TV, books, politics, ADHD, history, and sharing pictures of her cats Or you can contact her directly at alishag(at)screenrant(dot)com.Loki 1×03 “Lamentis,” is a prime example of a great bottle episode and how useful it can be in a shorter season. As a kid, her nose was always in a book or eyes glued to a screen, so it was inevitable she'd end up in two different worlds that are all about storytelling. Alisha has a Master of Arts in English from the University of Dallas and spent her years before jumping into entertainment journalism as an adjunct professor, a background that has come in handy in her editing roles. She's also the co-leader of California Freelance Writers United, a grassroots organization advocating for smarter legislation and forward-thinking labor law for freelance writers in California and across the country. ![]() Her work can be found, or expertise cited, at Forbes, CNN, CBS, Variety, CNBC, Marvel, Business Insider,, Film School Rejects, and more. Previously, she was the editor-at-large and editor-in-chief for Movie Pilot. It's why the Sacred Timeline's personification of chaos no longer feeling alone is a nexus event that could very well bring the entire multiverse crashing down in the final two episodes of Loki.Īlisha Grauso is a features editor at Screen Rant, as well as the editorial lead for Atom Insider with Atom Tickets. Chaos is a tool if controlled, but once it breaks free, it rebounds. But a Lokis with a life that no longer seems so empty, particularly the Sacred Timeline Loki, is truly unpredictable. A Loki alone may be a villain, even evil, but they follow that set path because they are ultimately isolated from any real connection with someone, good and bad. In a multitude of ways, Lokis are the universe's chaos. " The universe wants to break free, so it manifests chaos," Sylvie explains to him. That certainly foils the TVA's plans. No matter what timeline Lokis are in, they are still Gods and Goddesses of Mischief. Neither was Sylvie, who had been on the run her entire life, never allowed to form a close bond with anyone. From all indications, Loki will no longer want to play the part of the callous and cruel villain now that he has a glimmer of hope. He can't see there might be a different path for him, and for a millennium, he hasn't. But meeting Sylvie has, for the first time in his life, offered Loki a genuine connection with someone. At the moment of Loki's impending death on Lamentis-1, he knew he was no longer alone. That wrecks the plans of the Time-Keepers (or whoever is behind them). In order to be the villain that the Time-Keepers had designated him to be, Loki has to feel completely isolated, alone, and, what's more, to believe he deserves it. In finding Sylvie, Loki changed his entire reason for existence without warning. But in reality, a running theme of the show is that the fundamental truth of a Loki is that they're always alone, forever. Sylvie asked Loki if he believed that what makes a Loki a Loki is that they're destined to lose. As such, he believes he is a villain who deserves to be–and has kept himself–alone his entire life, because that's the role the Time-Keepers have designated for Loki. And Loki is meant to fulfill one specific role in the timeline: to cause pain, death, and destruction in order to serve as a catalyst for the heroism of others. The MCU's Loki is, in theory, the only Loki that is supposed to exist as he's the Sacred Timeline Loki all other Lokis are merely variants. Yet, it's not Loki and Sylvie touching, nor even them developing potential feelings for one another that triggered the nexus event, but what it means: they are no longer alone.

The scene was designed to make it appear as though the moment Sylvie and Loki touched and then clasped hands, it triggered the TVA's alarms. Mobius even confirms as much when he says, " Two variants of the same being, especially you, forming this kind of sick, twisted romantic relationship? That's pure chaos! That could break reality." However, they apparently created a nexus event powerful enough for the TVA to lock onto their signature. ![]() After all, Sylvie and Loki had been hiding out in an apocalypse and Loki had previously successfully deduced that a variant's energy wouldn't show up in an apocalyptic event. It was more than a little perplexing as to how the TVA found them. ![]()
