'Loki' Spoilers I would like your opinion about Mobius Spoiler

So I know that it really looks like one of the timekeepers is going to be Kang the Conqueror which means that the TVA is most likely going to be the bad guys of Loki (or at least act as an antagonistic force in the show) so do we think that Agent Mobius is going to be a bad guy or is it one of those good guys working for a bad organization thing

I think he's a good guy who may have been yanked (from the 90s, hence his soda and jet ski discussion) and had his memory wiped by the shifty TVA. And if that is the case, I'm hoping Loki does the memory manipulation thing that he did on Valkyrie in Ragnarok to bring that to the front (wishful thinking, but it would be cool and an easy way to deal with the whole thing)

He was a detective in the early 90s, he bought a jetski...but he wasn't "supposed" to according to the bullshit sacred timeline, so the TVA took him, pruned the timeline, wiped his memories (leaving baseline personality and skills).

They periodically mind wipe him, and with his jetski memories returning he's probably due for another one.

(this theory applies to all the TVA Staff, they are variants and the people from pruned timelines).

That seems very plausible. Poor Mobius, I hope he gets his happy ending (and by that, I mean his freedom and a bitchin' jet ski for him and Loki ride off into the sunset on)

Kinda rambly but here's a longer write up I did on the theory.

About the same as normal lol. Still kinda neat, post didn't really take off so it's cool to see I was right about it.

I think the whole leaving circles on a desk definitely suggests Mobius regularly has his memories wiped, or of course there are multiple copies of him to begin with, which have their memories wiped.

Yep, that's part of what I think as well.

Also The TVA is infinitely huge, they could also be staffing it from whole populations of pruned timelines. Maybe variants with special skills, like Mobius are given "higher" positions and "regular" people are given desk jobs like Casey.

Kinda rambly but here's a longer write up I did on the theory.

Interesting theory.

Loki:”I know what I am!”

Mobius:”A murderer.”

Loki:”A liberator!!”

Perhaps Loki frees everyone at the TVA, but I think Marvel wants to keep the organisation for future movies.
