#Loki #EasterEggs #Episode2

This is my favorite kind of episode of a TV show. Characters are still reeling with the repercussions of the manic events of episode 1, as they're trying to figure out what to do next. But in moments like these, we get to see character relationships develop and grow.

In this episode we see that Loki and Mobius have a true friendship-and Liki still has feelings for Sylvie. We also see that he still doubts himself. Can he be the hero–or is there just always a villain lurking under the surface, waiting to be let out so he can hurt people? In a larger sense, the TVA is experiencing an identity crisis. Who are they now? What’s their mission? These questions are forcing the characters to decide who they want to be.

The episode is also field with the tiniest, most obscure references to the comics and other MCU stories–it was a real geek feast I’m excited to tell you about, so thanks for choosing this video, and as always thanks for supporting us and shopping our merch store, where we design the shirts ourselves. In celebration of Loki we have this variant hoodie with a screencrush logo, the usual variants police lineup, miss minutes dial clock, and Doug as Loki.

Doug: I did not consent to having my likeness used.

Shopping our merch store is the next way you can support our channel, thanks for watching, let’s dive in. We begin in London 1977–and notice the distinction that this is on the sacred timeline. Last week’s post credits scene made it clear that Sylvie is on a branching timeline-and now we know why. Elements within the TVA still see the sacred timeline as the only timeline that matters, and will only see some of the people on those timelines as variants-as less than. And of course this draws a connection to Loki, who always sees himself as less than–the little brother, the lesser of Odin’s sons. [avengers, I remember a shadow].

This mission is new for Loki–because Mobius has never been undercover before. Hw’s alway wore his normal suit, because he was always showing up to timelines before they were pruned. And notice how Loki–ever the showman–has chosen a tux with a frilly shirt. And at the premiere Natalie Holt gives us a 70s funk version of the Loki theme [clip].

So we opened at a movie theater–and it showed a lot of restraint on disney’s part to not have star wars posters everywhere, since this is the year a new hope was released. There is one fun star wars cameo in the lobby that I think they did with a deep fake, this is your mom. But these posters are my favorite easter eggs in this episode. First, this one is for Herbie rides again.

Doug: What's that?

Well it’s a 1974 sequel to the ‘68 movie the Love bug. In the sequel, a sentient car named Herbie saves a woman from being evicted by a greedy landlord. The thing is, there was a herbie movie released in 1977-herbie goes to Monte Carlo. And compared to Herbie rides again, it's bad. Herbie rides again tells a heartb=felt story about greedy capitalists forcing a woman from her home–which hey, parallels nickel with this episode, when the existing power structures of the TVA essentially destroy the homes of trillions of people on the branching timelines.

Herbie goes to monte carlo was about rich people car racing. A metaphor for how the counterculture movement of the 1960s gave way to the industrialized hyper-capitalist culture of the 1980s.

Doug: You got all that from a movie poster?
