10 Things From ‘Loki’ That Made Absolutely No Sense

The ‘Loki’ series, a bold dive into the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s multiverse, hooked me with its wild time-travel antics and Tom Hiddleston’s charm as the trickster god. It’s a show packed with clever twists, but some parts had me scratching my head, wondering how they fit together.

From timeline tangles to character choices that defy logic, I’ve rounded up ten moments that felt like they slipped through the cracks of the Time Variance Authority’s rulebook. Let’s unpack these confusing bits from both seasons, exploring why they don’t quite add up.

10. Nexus Event on Lamentis

Loki and Sylvie, stranded on the doomed moon Lamentis, share a tender moment as destruction looms, somehow triggering a massive Nexus event that alerts the TVA. This makes no sense since they’re about to die, with no chance to impact the timeline.

Their connection, maybe a spark of romance, shouldn’t register as a timeline-altering event on a world moments from collapse. The TVA’s tech picks up this anomaly, but why? It’s a head-scratcher that feels more like a plot device to save them than a logical story beat.

9. Sylvie’s Doomsday Escapes

Sylvie hides in apocalyptic events like Pompeii, believing her actions won’t affect the timeline since these worlds are doomed. Yet, her eating food or using resources should create ripples, even tiny ones, that the TVA’s advanced tech ought to detect.

This oversight feels convenient. The show wants Sylvie to be a cunning fugitive, but ignoring these small changes undermines the TVA’s supposed precision, leaving me wondering how she stayed hidden so long.

8. Classic Loki’s Aging

Classic Loki, played by Richard E. Grant, appears as an older version of the trickster, despite Asgardians aging slowly. His advanced age suggests immense power, yet he’s stuck in the Void, unable to escape, which feels inconsistent with his strength.

If he’s that old, he should’ve outsmarted the Void’s dangers or the TVA long ago. The show glosses over this, making his elderly appearance more of a visual choice than a logical one.

7. Kid Loki’s Eternal Youth

Kid Loki, a variant who killed Thor as a child, leads the Void’s misfits but remains a kid despite time passing there. The Void shows decay, so time clearly exists, yet he never ages, unlike other variants.

This unexplained quirk bugs me. A quick line about his timeline’s rules could’ve cleared it up, but the show leaves it hanging, making Kid Loki’s eternal youth feel like a sloppy oversight.

6. Loki’s Sudden Loyalty Shift

In season two, Loki pushes to save the TVA to stop a Kang-led multiversal war, but his motives feel murky. He jumps from wanting to destroy the TVA in season one to defending it, with little explanation for this flip.

His charm carries the scenes, but I couldn’t pin down why he’s so invested. The show rushes this change, leaving his loyalty to the TVA feeling forced and unearned.

5. TVA Agents’ Blind Devotion

TVA agents, once loyal to pruning timelines, suddenly risk their lives for Loki’s cause in season two, despite opposing him earlier. Nothing in the story justifies this drastic shift in loyalty, especially their willingness to die for him.

It’s jarring to see them act like different people without a clear reason. This leap in devotion feels like the writers needed them to follow Loki, logic be damned.

4. Missing Stakes in Season Two’s Early Episodes

For the first four episodes of season two, the looming threat is the Temporal Loom’s explosion, which would destroy the TVA. But the show doesn’t explain why this matters to the multiverse, leaving the stakes vague and unconvincing.

Without clear consequences, the tension falls flat. I kept waiting for a bigger threat to emerge, but the focus on the TVA’s survival alone felt oddly hollow.

3. Loki’s Time Mastery Misstep

Loki gains time-slipping powers in season two, giving him control over time itself. Yet, when debating whether to stop Sylvie from killing He Who Remains, he considers killing her instead of using his time skills to find another solution.

This choice feels out of character for a clever trickster. With his new abilities, he should have endless options, making this moment seem unnecessarily dramatic and illogical.

2. Free Will Talks That Go Nowhere

Season two tries to weave free will into its themes, especially in Loki and Sylvie’s talks, but it never connects to their actions. Loki’s choices, like destroying the Loom, don’t tie to free will, leaving these discussions feeling pointless.

I wanted this theme to matter, but it felt tacked on. The show drops it without impact, making those deep conversations seem like wasted screen time.

1. Loki’s Confusing Ending

In the season two finale, Loki destroys the Temporal Loom, causing timelines to die, then revives them into a tree-like structure where he sits at the center. It’s visually stunning but makes little sense—why does destroying the Loom kill timelines, and how does he reshape them?

His new role as a timeline guardian feels poetic but lacks clarity. I was left puzzled, unsure what his sacrifice achieved or how it resolved the multiverse’s chaos.
