![]() Majors plays “He Who Remains” like a three-way cross between the Wizard of Oz, Yoda in The Empire Strikes Back (1980), and a mad Dungeon Master who has played too many Dungeons and Dragons campaigns. But the iteration of Kang, or Nathaniel Richards, as his true name is in the comics, who we see in Loki is not the Kang.Īs “He Who Remains” tells Loki and Sylvie, his Variants are much more dangerous, and will undoubtedly fall closer to the comic iterations of Kang the Conqueror and his Variant counterpart, Rama-Tut. For months now we’ve known that Jonathan Majors, recently nominated for an Emmy for his performance on Lovecraft Country, would be joining the MCU as one of the Avengers arch-nemeses, Kang the Conqueror in Ant-Man and the Wasp: Qunatumania. Yes, this time around all those fan theories did pan out and a new character was introduced as the “Big Bad” at the end of the season, but even that reveal comes with an unexpected twist. This one's a bit more speculative and hand-wavey of course but I thought I'd add it to be complete.Marvel Studios Skipping Comic-Con's Hall H Note that the Void and the Citadel at the End of Time exist outside of time and so should be unaffected by changes to it. Maybe Sylvie comes back to them and confirms Alioth's name or something else completely for how they learn the name. What this means is that the Lokis who exist and survive in the Void can keep surviving there passing information along. At face value this could refer to other variants of himself, however, it could also refer to himself when he once again sets out to end the Multiversal War. There's a few things that He Who Remains says that pave way for this theory but one clear one is "I'll see you soon" just before Sylvie kills him. After eons Loki and Sylvie turn up and kill He Who Remains unleashing the multiverse and setting another Multiversal War on the go. That a Multiversal War takes place which is eventually resolved by He Who Remains who puts the timeline into balance as the Sacred Timeline. There's a theory that the whole MCU universe/multiverse is in a time loop. It's possible that one of the current Loki variants, or a previous one, attempted the same plan and failed but managed to connect enough to learn information about Alioth, such as his name. We actually saw Loki Prime in Thor: Ragnarok read Valkyrie's mind, for instance. All the Loki variants have access to the same power(s) but they all but their strengths in different ones. Loki, Season 1 Episode 6, "For All Time, Always" Enchanted?Īlioth might not be able to talk, that we've seen, but that doesn't mean they can't find out his name, or a name, for him by reading its mind. He Who Remains: But how do I already have it loaded up with everything I need to know to keep from being killed by you two? It's easy. Once again he could just be using the name that they're familiar with. In fact he already knows that Loki is going to call it Alioth. Note that He Who Remains knows all and has seen all so he'll be very aware of what name they use for Alioth. Loki, Season 1 Episode 6, "For All Time, Always" He Who Remains: Bingo! I harnessed the beast's power and began experimenting on it. ![]() He Who Remains: That first variant encountered a creature created from all the tears in reality, capable of consuming time and space itself. It's possible that he's just using the name that they call it for ease. The only time other than that we see it being called Alioth is by He Who Remains and he only ever does so once Loki calls it Alioth. I'll argue that we only ever see the Loki variants call Alioth, Alioth.
