People are freaking out about this revelation from ‘Loki’ episode 2

We’re still wrapping our heads about everything that has happened in Loki so far, as the first two episodes already delivered plenty of food for thought. The hit Marvel TV show won’t just deliver a different Loki story and character arc than what we’ve witnessed in the Infinity Saga. It’ll also set the ground rules for the multiverse, additional realities, and time travel, all of which are concepts that we’ll have to master to make sense of what’s coming down the road in MCU Phase 4 movies. Loki already delivered the Avengers: Endgame connections we’ve been expecting, but it also raised additional questions that we’ll have to figure out by the end of the series.

Episode 2 further built upon that, explaining in greater detail how the agency that polices the flow of time and reality operates. The Time Variance Authority (TVA) is a well-oiled but incredibly bureaucratic machine that has to ensure the Sacred Timeline flows according to a plan that the audience isn’t yet privy to. The episode also showed us one of the show's villains, a character who is already causing some controversy online, with fans freaking out about who it might be. The good news is that you can stop worrying about the new character’s identity and what it means for the MCU. But before we explain, we’ll warn you that major spoilers from episode 2 follow below.
