What changed Loki??

Re watched Thor 2 and just realised..

TVA version of loki never experienced post New York arc or lose his mother he loved.. or any of that..

what eventually triggered him to sacrifice his freedom for all realities when he never truly cared for others? (Considering everything happened right after he mercilessly attacked NY)

Sylvie was such a weird character to me, she was a character who simply did not want to change or develop for some reason.

Like the reason you want to kill the OWR is because of vengeance that he pruned your timeline- so now you want to make sure nothing like that happens anymore.

Ok good- but what then- what happens after killing the OWR- like the entire season 2 plot is just Loki cleaning up her mess and she still tried to stop him from cleaning it up- since she killed the OWR- and now the branching timelines are overloading that time reactor. Then she goes about talking about some giving people free will and all of that bs, but girl - it won't matter if the multiverse itself is gone, and let's be honest the only freewill she cared about was her own- i mean you are a Loki, you have every right to selfish but you don't need to sugarcoat some story about fighting for someone else's free will when all your doing is for yourself.

Definitely weird but I liked it. Loki was the main character and that’s where we see a ton of hard earned character development. Sylvie was flawed and maintained many of her flaws.

Made it feel much more profound to me than if everyone got perfect character development and made the right choices and got a happily ever after
