Loki Episode 6 Review and Ending Explained: ‘Successfully setting up a strange Phase 4’

Loki episode 6, the finale of the latest MCU Disney Plus show, aims to tie up all of the loose ends explored in the previous five installments. It’s a tough task, but the Loki finale puts in a big effort to bring the mysteries surrounding the TVA, the person at the end of the Void, and Loki and Sylvie’s relationship to a cohesive conclusion. It attempts this while also posing some new questions for future MCU movies and TV shows to explore. Is episode 6 any good? This is the GameRevolution review.

Loki Episode 6 Review: “Heavy on the talking”

loki episode 6 review

Loki episode 6 brought Loki and Sylvie to the citadel at the end of time. There they found Miss Minutes waiting for them. After refusing promises of a throne and happiness, Loki and Sylvie pressed onwards to meet He Who Remains. He explains that he is keeping the timeline stable and safe from evil versions of himself. Ultimately, he is killed by Sylvie and the timeline begins to branch wildly. After a kiss, Sylvie sends Loki back to the TVA. However, this TVA is different and Mobius doesn’t recognize the God of Mischief.

The Loki finale is heavy on the talking, which is necessary to fully explain the madness of the previous five episodes. There is a lot to consume here, but there’s also a fun fight between Sylvie and Loki. What’s more, the Sylvie and Loki kiss will no doubt be a payoff for fans who wanted the two to get together, despite them being the same person and the complications that could cause.

The highlight of Loki episode 6 was actor Jonathan Majors. Though his presence was (literally) cut short, viewers were treated to the charismatic good version of himself. It’s exciting to think about what the evil version of him will be like. He will no doubt appear as Kang the Conqueror in upcoming movies.

It was also good to see an MCU TV show having a big impact on the universe. Previous shows have been relatively optional when it comes to keeping up with the goings-on of the MCU. Loki, however, bucks this trend and should be watched to understand what exactly is happening in upcoming movies like Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, and, possibly, Spider-Man: No Way Home.

Loki episode 6 is a must-watch as it successfully sets up a strange Phase 4.

Loki episode 6 ending explained

At the end of Loki episode 6, Sylvie kills He Who Remains. With no one at the helm to keep the timeline stable, branches begin to form.

As he dies, He Who Remains tells Sylvie that he will “see [her] again soon.” This is clearly a nod to the versions of himself that will now be let loose. Expect to see an evil version of He Who Remains in upcoming MCU media. Kang the Conqueror looks set to be the next big bad.

Meanwhile, Loki ends up back at the TVA. However, Mobius doesn’t recognize him and the Time-Keeper statues have been replaced by He Who Remains. Clearly, Loki has been sent to another timeline where a different version of the TVA exists. It’s unclear what this means for the character.

It’s also important to mention that Mobius never got to rid a jetski, though his survival means it’s a possibility in the future!

In other Loki news, it turns out that the God of Mischief may have survived his Infinity War death at the hands of Thanos. Here’s how.

Another big TV show is Resident Evil: Infinite Darkness, which brings fan-favorites Claire and Leon back into the zombie action. Here’s the GameRevolution review.

James Gunn has directed over half of Peacemaker season 1, it’s been revealed. Other directorial contributors include The Walking Dead and Titans veterans.
