Speaking exclusively to <\/span>RadioTimes.com<\/span><\/a> about the season 2 ending,<\/span> she said: \u201cI don\u2019t know if it felt like the end to me, because, I mean, [Loki\u2019s] gonna be pretty busy holding the whole universe together.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Loki season 2 ending explained<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Episode 6 picks up with Loki as he manages to control his time-slipping and return to the moment before Victor Timely<\/a> steps into the radiation and goes all spaghetti on us. OB tells him they just have to go quicker \u2013 so he tries again, and again, and again, to no avail.<\/p>\n

Eventually, he spends centuries getting to know OB\u2019s knowledge of mechanics and engineering so he can speed things along \u2013 again, to no avail. Timely realises that the branches are multiplying at an infinite rate, and there\u2019s no way to adapt the loom to deal with so many. The only option for Loki is to go back further in time and change things earlier.<\/p>\n

Loki goes back to the end of the world with He Who Remains (Jonathan Majors<\/a>) and Sylvie \u2013 the confrontation we saw at the end of season 1, when Sylvie killed He Who Remains. He tries and fails to stop her killing him various times before He Who Remains steps in and shows him how to pause time. He tells Loki that the temporal loom is only actually designed to protect the sacred timeline \u2013 and nothing else.<\/p>\n

He Who Remains tells Loki that if he breaks the loom, a brutal war breaks out \u2013 and the only option is to have him remain on the throne at the end of time. Loki refuses to believe that and tells him he\u2019ll find another way. It seems like the only option is to kill Sylvie before she kills He Who Remains.<\/p>\n

Loki goes back even further to get some advice from Mobius, asking him how he chooses who lives and who dies, with Mobius telling Loki that he just has to choose his burden.<\/p>\n

Loki goes back to his meeting with his friends\u2019 variants on the sacred timeline, telling Sylvie it\u2019s the sacred timeline or nothing. She tells him that he may have to die fighting and that it\u2019s okay to destroy something if there\u2019s something better to replace it.<\/p>\n

Does Loki become the god of time in season 2?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Yes<\/strong>. Loki goes back to the loom, transforming into the god we all know and (sometimes) love, and destroys it as his friends look on, telling them he knows what type of god he needs to be.<\/p>\n

He finds himself entangled among the branches, physically gathering them and pulling them with him as he becomes the god of time.<\/strong><\/p>
