Here we are, one day before the dreaded "The Marvels" is set to bomb in the movie theater amidst all of the controversies of multiple failed TV series, and only a couple hit movies since Endgame (No Way Home, GOTG3). Not to mention the reshoots, strikes, and overall uncertainty. Suffice it to say, these past few years of pandering have brought my faith in the MCU to an all time low.
Until now.
Loki is pretty much the only thing that has me hanging on to the franchise, and I'm sure I'm not the only person in that boat. This episode of television has opened the door Marvel (Loki) to wipe the slate clean and start over. With Loki as the new "He Who Remains" and "God of Stories" he can pull any character from any universe (dead or alive) together and I believe marvel will use this as their way of bringing Sony, Fox, and Disney characters onto the same screen.
Anyways, thats big picture. Pertaining to the series, I thought that this was a wonderful ending. Loki's new "HWR" suit looks badass and he finally gets his throne! Mobius gets a taste of the real life, and Sylvie (who was unbearable until the last episode, I must say) can now be content that all of the branched timelines are back to life. I also really liked Jonathan Majors' performance as his more primal form. If his variants are like him, I believe that he will make a formidable enemy, or enemies. After extended conversation with Loki and himself, it is clear to me that there was merit to his reason despite Sylvie's hatred. I hope Marvel sticks it out with him, but if they decide to recast him, I think they can still make it cool. They can pretty much cast anyone because they will all be variants. Matter of a fact, I think it would be awesome if all of Kang's variants were played by different actors.
In conclusion, this episode completed the fruition of Loki's character development in the best way possible and in my opinion, opens the door to some sunshine into what has been a gloomy, dark, and boring 4 years since Endgame.
