The Loki season 2 delivered an emotional and satisfying finish, but Loki actor Tom Hiddleston’s explanation of its final moments makes it even better.
This article covers a developing story. Continue to check back with us as we will be adding more information as it becomes available.
Summary
- Loki’s final line in the Season 2 finale is a powerful statement of growth and selflessness, showing his immense character development.
- The line, originally a desperate plea for approval, has been recontextualized to represent Loki’s understanding of his true purpose and his willingness to sacrifice for others.
- This line, along with Loki’s final scenes, provides a satisfying and emotional close to one of the MCU’s best character arcs, showcasing Tom Hiddleston’s exceptional portrayal of the character.
Loki season 2 ended the MCU‘s best TV show with a satisfying and emotional close for its characters and narrative, but Tom Hiddleston’s explanation of Loki’s final line makes the finale even better. After realizing that his attempts to fix the Loom only further the plans of He Who Remains, Loki makes the selfless decision to become the living guardian and center of the multiverse’s ever-expanding timelines. Before he steps out to the failing Temporal Loom and takes his place on his new isolated throne, Loki speaks for one last time to Sylvie and his friends at the TVA.
Speaking on the Happy Sad Confused podcast, Hiddleston explains why the line is so perfect, what it really means, and how it brings Loki’s story full circle. Read the quote below:
‘I know what I want. I know what kind of god I need to be. For you. For all of us.’ It’s the line that Loki says to Odin at the end of Thor and he is – it’s a desperate plea for approval and validation. It’s a cry for help from a son who feels he doesn’t belong, and it doesn’t work, and it’s heartbreaking. This time, it’s – this Loki has lived through that moment and understands something much deeper, and it just felt like a kind of ‘I actually now understand. Now I understand what I have to do. It’s not about me, it’s about you.’
As explained by Hiddleston, the line works in its own right, but it’s particularly poignant as a recontextualized mirror of Loki’s desperate words to Odin in Thor. By turning the words from a desperate plea from a misguided son to a bold statement about Loki’s true glorious purpose, Loki shows the immense growth he underwent. It’s unclear if Loki will appear again in the MCU, but if not, this line and his final scenes thereafter act as a perfect close to one of the MCU’s best character arcs.
