Suprisingly, I didn't like it that much. Or to put it more accurately, Hiddelston is such a good actor I expected him to play better. That doesn't mean it was bad, but I saw lost potential in quite a few scenes, thus why it dissapointed me. But the episode overall was worse. I think all those strikes mucked production of this one and we know there were no re-does. The episode has good scenes and character developement, but is aslo choppy and horribly rushed in a lot of places. The first episode has definitely better quality.

Nah the second Mobius warned Loki about that, I knew he’d break first lmao

In Season 1, the TVA would go into branching timelines wearing full gear because they were going to prune them anyway. But here Loki, Mobius and B-15 are wearing period appropriate attire because they don't want to disturb the timelines and instead keep them intact. It shows they care now and see these timelines as valuable.

I think the "I was following you" comment was interesting. If you see time as a circle, it is impossible to tell "when" things happen. From Loki's perspective he was following Mobious. However, in a circular path, it's possible that Mobius is/has been following Loki all along. Edit to add: If people see you as a villain, lean into it. It's a strength.

It’s ‘Loki’ is supposed to be whacky and unhinged! Sort of wanting to be ‘Tim burton-esque’ I suppose. What a dream *THAT* would be! Loki directed by Tim Burton and music composed by Danny Elfman! 😍💚🖤🤍🐍🔪

I admit I did have a split second thought of "what if OB is a villain" but I don't think he's a Kang variant... Hear me out... I think the temporal aura error means that they are gonna need a Kang variant in order to open the blast doors and fix the loom (since He who Remains is dead), and thats why I think that's why they go after Victor Timely... So it wouldn't make sense for OB to be a Kang variant bc then he would bypass the temporal aura error.

I don't think OB ever got a mind wipe. In the first episode, he remembered Mobius stopping by 400 years before, yet Mobius did not. OB has been down in the R&A department for so long, all by himself, with his only interaction with anyone at all being repair requests through pneumatic tubes. Even He Who Remains forgot about him down there.

Idk if you caught it or not but OB mentioned they need HWR's temporal ora to override the doors and Miss Minutes is the only one who can do it. Now I think maybe Miss Minutes is made of HWR's soul or temporal ora. Cause back in season 1 when Loki asked her are you alive or recorded? She answered: sort of both! I'm positive now she's partially made of HWR' soul.

The tony stark reference 😢

13:42, Loki being able to acknowledge how he let his anger and insecurities compel him to do “terrible, awful things” also implies how he’s able to maintain control when insulted by X 5. After an entire season essentially being thrown from one therapy session to another, these flaws no longer have the kind of hold over him that they once did. However, Mobius early on has demonstrated insecurity over his status of being removed from his life and hasn’t really had the opportunity to reflect on how his prior life factors into his new identity as a TVA agent. It’s nice seeing the two not only working together as time cops, but also being genuine friends talking with and supporting with each other.

How we all are missing all the Breaking Bad reference. 1. Episode name is - Breaking Bred 2. Bred tells loki - you are good at being bad, mirrors walts dialogue - I was good at it (being bad). 3. As Walt was the "hero" of Breaking bad, same may happen to Loki by end of this episode as this video touches upon, tying this neatly with Loki becoming one who remains.

Weird that Casey acted like he never seen OB before but then askd OB to sign his book next to his picture.

OB is the original he who remains. Before Kang. Kang replaced him when he found out how time works. Miss minutes is Renslayers Soul/Mind. Loki/Sylvie pull an Avengers and go back in time to restore all the timelines that were lost with the help of Victor Timely (a good/nerdy version of Kang). But by breaking the TVA it releases Prime Kang and the council of Kangs who come and take over the TVA. They wipe everyone’s memory except Sylvie and Loki who escape.

Awesome breakdown! MT is the MAN, that last vid on the black hole connection was SO on point, would love to hear more about his theories!!! ONE quick thing, I'm sure its pretty obvious, but I haven't heard anyone mention that; During the end credits, they show us a couple diagrams and an actual prototype temporal loom. While active (View of the temp loom from the tva), the temporal loom is eerily reminiscent of Shang-Chi's 10 rings. Also there are a TON of potential hints/leaks/spoilers in the credits where they show a wall of sticky notes. lots of interesting info there.

I have to compliment the extensive verbiage used to get me to smash the thumbs up button. I've never been more convinced by a KZread video in my life.

8:10 anyone who has had a key coworker or employee leave knows how difficult it is to lose that level of institutional knowledge. I think He Who Remains understands the value of institutional knowledge and that’s why OB has his memory in-tact.

I really hope my theory was right and that Victor Timely is the same "prime" Kang from Quantomania and he'll be able to reunite with Ravonna Rennslayer giving closure to the "I have lost, you have no idea what I've lost." line from Quantomania.

Now I'm fully convinced that OB was the real founder of the TVA. And that He Who Remains discovered it then took it over. And then corrupted it.
