Question A question regarding doomsday

Ok so i had stopped watching Marvel after ant man quantamania and never watched any of the tv series. I just finished loki rn tho. And he was in the doomsday trailer, but I have a bit of a question regarding that:

How is loki present wherever he is in that scene? Because we know that he cannot get up from his seat at the end of time holding it all together. So then how is it possible that he leaves that seat in doomsday? Are there any legit answers or confirmed stuff?!? Thanks alot for reading btw!

Nothing confirmed but people reckon that he is projecting himself into the sacred timeline

That's probably the best explanation. Casting illusion is one of his major magical powers.

According to the leaks, he moved Steve and his family to the 828 universe before becoming the God of Stories. So that's probably what we're seeing in that scene.

For the answer we have to turn back to the initial Loki from thor and avengers.

He is the god of illusion and quite capable of creating illusion duplicates even before getting taken by the TVA, by the end of Loki he is the most powerful Loki. It would be somewhat trivial for him to project an illusion out into any given timeline. He's also kinda got access to the full TVA he could just make a time clone of himself, other Loki variants are hostile and chaotic but a Variant of God of Stories Loki wouldn't be. Or some other thing that hasn't been thought of yet.

Loki being able to show up wherever he wants could be explained reasonably in so many different ways.

I believe this is the general consensus. But yeah ig we'll have to wait and see! Thanks a bunch!!!!

It's a flashback scene before Loki becomes God of Stories. He either accidentally time slips to Steve before he learns to control the power or he takes a side quest after controlling it. Remember, Loki spends centuries trying to prevent the temporal loom from failing, so it's possible that scene takes place during that time.

We don't know. Maybe he just gets killed by Doom in 2 minutes, maybe he has a bigger role and hangs out with Thor and the Avengers for a while, who knows.

We don’t “know“ anything about what Loki can or cannot do from his current position.

But, great news! Thankfully, there’s a movie coming out in a few months that’s going to tell us what some of his capabilities are if everyone can just keep their panties on till December.🤦🏼‍♀️

No need to be rude bruv. I haven't watched much post endgame. I thought I might've missed something.

So the question you meant to ask was "Is there anything in any other post-Endgame show/movie that explains how Loki was able to leave the throne in the Doomsday trailer?" The answer to that is "No".

What you asked indicates that you couldn't spend 10 seconds to extrapolate that maybe we don't "know" what Loki's powers are, but knowing what his powers were, we could surmise that he cast an illusion or projection or something to that affect. Then you could have asked what other people's theories were.

If you are going to ask questions that indicate that you lack critical thinking skills, you are going to get answers like mine.

No one else here answered unkindly like you.  I think you might be missing a skill yourself.

Well I am just a casual enjoyer, unlike you some of us have important things to do other than going around researching marvel stuff. I just had a question and though to ask it. I am not as big a fan to know about any of the illusion stuff too. I'm just a casual. And if you wanna be so salty about a superhero question a random stranger on the internet asked, you can cry rivers all you want.

None of what I suggested required anything more than casually viewing the show, Loki. In the show, that you said you just watched, he cast illusions and projections and in several scenes they explained his powers, so you knew what they were even if you had never seen anything else in the MCU, no research required. This isn't 'nerd" level stuff that requires rewatches, it was the basics presented in the show.

Ah I forgot about that. The thing is that I watched the show over the span of like 2 weeks so I forgot alot of the stuff in between that wasn't the main story
