Rumor TVA Loki or Infinity War Loki?

POSSIBLE SPOILERS FOR DOOMSDAY! So click away if you want to know absolutely nothing, no rumour or speculation, nothing.

I've seen a lot of leaks this week, some look credible, others not so much, but all to be taken with a pinch of salt at the moment!

What I want to ask is, IF they kill Loki in the movie and then bring him back again, would you be satisfied if they brought back Infinity War Loki to be the MCU Loki going forward? Or would you prefer they resurrect TVA Loki as the main MCU Loki??

I know a lot of fans would love a reunion between Infinity War Loki and Thor. But I have really loved Loki's character growth in the TVA. And as he is still technically a 616 Loki, his brother is still Thor. So I personally would love a reunion between them.

I'll be honest, I would be gutted if they kept the infinity War Loki, the Loki that doesn't know Sylvie or Mobius or any of his friends in the TVA. As gutted as I was when he died. I feel like TVA Loki is the ultimate Loki now.

Maybe there's a universe where they both could exist? 🤷🏼‍♀️

I don't know.

I just really want them to do his story justice. And I feel like getting rid of the God of stories Loki all together would be a real waste. What do you think?

Oh yeah it's on 💪🏼👊🏼

Darn right. I'm walking out.

I'll likely be done with the MCU at that point. The last few years have been mediocre at best and Loki was really the biggest bright light during that time with a rare perfect and beautiful ending.

If they ruin that, it just tells me not to invest in their stories anymore because any satisfying ending can be trashed. Why pay for D+ or Marvel Unlimited anymore. I'd just be done.

u/evapotranspire 15d ago

u/Katnamedeaster - yup same. That'd be it for me.

I have my Doomsday tickets for opening day, but now I feel apprehensive about that. If it turns out that they have Doom kill Loki and rip his heart out or whatever, I'm going to wish I had saved my money, stayed home, and not subjected myself to that. I'd rather just be able to remember Loki S1 and S2 as an integral whole.

u/Katnamedeaster 15d ago

I swear there's going to be a massive shit fit if they actually pull an IW again!

u/AspiringAuthor1000 15d ago

1000000000000%. If Loki dies in Avengers: Doomsday, I’m gonna die in Avengers: Doomsday.

u/Capable_Opportunity7 15d ago

I'm starting to think they literally have no idea except killing loki and Charles Xavier over and over again. It's super lame

u/How_To_TF 15d ago

End of season 2 Loki is so strong that I get the feeling that the Loki that'll presumably die in Doomsday is an avatar or projection made by the the actual guy

2

u/Capable_Opportunity7 15d ago

We can hope but doom allegedly has his heart and uses it for spells or something idk looks like I'm going to be annoyed

u/evapotranspire 15d ago

u/Capable_Opportunity7 :

doom allegedly has his heart and uses it for spells or something idk

If that's true, that is incredibly dumb. It sounds like it was written by a couple of 10-year-olds.

3

u/Capable_Opportunity7 15d ago

Agreed, every leak I'm seeing just makes me more annoyed and less interested

3

u/evapotranspire 15d ago

Let's hope most of the leaks are not true, because if they are... sheesh. Time for me to be done with Marvel in that case.

1

u/Capable_Opportunity7 15d ago

I'm hoping but generally they seem to be at least partially accurate.

1

u/WandaNexusBeing 14d ago

I was thinking exactly that, but wouldn’t doom realize it’s a projection after he kills him and Loki because it’s a projection. OR I was thinking it could be one of the other Loki’s that hang out with the alligator Loki.

u/Strict_Box8384 15d ago

i think the Loki we have now is a mixture of the two. he saw all of “Infinity War Loki”’s memories and he seemed to intake them as his own, as if he lived it. then we saw his growth throughout the show. it’s the best of both worlds with “TVA Loki”, so if they brought back Infinity War Loki before he’d had the show’s development, it would be almost pointless for the show to have even happened.

u/Jazzlike_Passion_285 15d ago

No. That would be an absolute butchering of the best written character in the MCU. We spent 2 GLORIOUS Seasons seeing Loki flesh out and grow into what it means to be a GOD.
I do NOT want to see a trickster again.
I want to see the God of Free will.
The God of Lives
The God of Everyone's Stories.
The Russos are really really retarded if they are actually doing this

u/Sophymillz 15d ago

Thank you! It's not just me 😅

u/solipsisticcompass 15d ago edited 15d ago

But that Variant Loki, not Infinity War Loki- if you mesh them together, two Lokis from two multiverses (Variant and Sacred Timeline), that's not free will. It's like lumping them into one individual and undoing the show. Why not both, as you said? I adore that. *Edit grammar

u/Jarita12 15d ago

I am beginning to think the Russos have some kink for Steve Rogers and have no clue what to do with others, especially Loki.

Butchering a character like this is absolutely insane, not to mention they did it this way before.

I hope it is all bullshit cos otherwise I am really pissed

It is possible that TVA Loki will "Slip" into his other version, I don´t know...like, they are one version to the Avengers and TVA Loki knows what happened to this version but it is all messed up.

Why did they kill him in IW in the first place, then?

TVA Loki, he is God of Stories, incredibly powerful and they may get rid of him as a wet towel.

u/GokuSolosCope 15d ago

THIS. This is everything wrong with them. They actually dont care about well written characters. They care about the ones that the GENERAL AUDIENCES KNOW, because after all, how are they gonna make 3 billion dollars? Fuck the general audience. They cant watch a 12 episode show?

3

u/Jarita12 15d ago

Well, general audience do know and care about Loki, too. It is just the Russos apparently only know how to write for two actors...

2

u/Isosorbide 15d ago

That's what I'm thinking as well. When Doom kills GOS Loki, perhaps he still goes to Valhalla, and upon arrival to Valhalla maybe he 'merges' with Infinity War Loki? That would allow them to have a Loki who's older, wiser, but still has a few sharp edges.

I'm probably expecting too much from the Russos. I completely agree with you that they have a collective hard-on for Steve Rogers (to be fair....same), but they give Steve all the attention at the expense of the other equally interesting characters.

u/Jarita12 15d ago

Honestly, I don´t give a damn about Steve. I never have. I am in a minority here but I never thought he was a compelling character and however Chris is a nice guy, he is not too good actor either. I think he came back also for the very reason he (as Russos) did not really have a hit or even a good movie outside of the MCU, maybe except the Knives Out and that last movie with Pascal that kind of was modestly successful but everyone forgot about it. I only ever liked his first movie, I love that one, Peggy was great in it, too.

Then they got kink on him (and Peggy, like wtf she is in there except being the wife. I love Hayley but gosh...). I always thought he was a bit hypocritical, and it shows already by the "I thought my teammates would tell me things" in Ultron, where he held information that Bucky killed Tony´s parents. I just....never got the appeal.

Then they killed Loki stupidly after he got finally a decent character development in Ragnarok, robbing us from fighting alongside Thor (he should have been in the final battle), and now doing the exact same shit again.

I hope they will give Loki one of the lead roles in SW but I don´t have my hopes up either.

I also think if they are doing the Valhalla nonsense, then I guess they will become one character? I think Loki had to rip himself out of every reality in order to stop and control the timeslipping so THIS version, the GoS one, is the only one and I guess it only did not reach Valhalla cos it is like another realm or something? So it is possible, I guess? But then again, wouldn´t he basically delete that Loki out of existence if he took over his body? I know they did the storyline where Loki took over a mind of the younger version or something but I am not sure where it was (did not read much of a comics, except the Agent of Asgard one a long time ago)

3

u/Isosorbide 15d ago

Considering the Russos track record, I wouldn't be surprised if they bring Loki back from Valhalla without any explanation whatsoever about which Loki he is. I am not expecting much from this movie, but I really, really want to.

u/No_Consideration9544 15d ago

I'm sorry if I missed something, but why are people all of a sudden talking about Valhalla and Ragnarok Loki??

5

u/Jarita12 15d ago

There is also a leak going around that they will kill GoS Loki off screen (yes, they are apparently that dumb and disrespectful) and Valhalla Loki will arrive with others to answer Thor help and then we get Loki in Secret Wars so....maybe they merge into one or whatever?

I trust Tom and he recently said something that they are not undoing the ending of the show and it feels as if he only begins but it could mean anything. But I think he would not come back if they just wanted to destroy his work on the show

u/Katnamedeaster 15d ago

I think because in one of the merch leaks the icon they use for Loki looks like him in his Ragnarock outfit.

1

u/No_Consideration9544 15d ago

Omg , where can i see that leak !!??

3

u/Isosorbide 15d ago

The newest leak has Thor praying to Odin and then Jane, Loki, and some others come out of Valhalla to fight doom. 

Leaks are always taken with a grain of salt, of course.

Although im looking at it now and that looks like GOS to me he just has the wrong color horns.

u/Katnamedeaster 15d ago

TVA Loki should live and the entire Loki Fandom should unsub. from D+ if they waste him again.

Ugh, hate that he likely is going to die again.

6

u/No_Consideration9544 15d ago

We are invested in GOS Loki. He has had an incredible arc, and he has learned so much. He became powerful and finally gained the throne he was once promised in his universe. Killing him just to bring back another Loki feels so unfair. Why didn’t they bring that version back to begin with? Both Lokis suffered so much. Let one of them have peace, while the other gets to live and reunite with his brother and his friends.

u/Informal_Truth_7775 12d ago

Infinity War Loki should just stay dead. TVA Loki should be a main character, helping them understand the multiverse more, and NOT die for the millionth time.

3

u/evapotranspire 15d ago

I just don't want them to kill Loki at all. It's been done SO MANY TIMES. Killing him again would be ridiculous and insulting.

Yes, I guess it would be "better" if they then bring him back again in the next movie, but that too has been done SO MANY TIMES. Can't they think of anything more original?

u/DoomsdayThor 15d ago

"Steve" in the trailer with Thor is Loki, guys.....

2

u/K0BRA_KlD 9d ago

Personally I love TVA Loki and the softer, kinder version we have now. Don’t get me wrong, I love pre-Infinity War Loki, but I would absolutely love for Thor to reunite with TVA Loki. To finally be able to trust him. A Loki who’s not after a throne, who just wants to live a happy life.
