Spoilers below for anyone who hasn’t yet watched Loki’s Season 2 finale, so be warned!
One of the elements I enjoyed the most about Loki’s second season finale was that its title, “Glorious Purpose,” is the name shared by the series’ very first episode, creating a loop that is quite applicable for a show that leans so heavily into time, cycles, and glorious purposes. Of course, there were plenty of other highlights to celebrate, from the psychedelic gorgeousness of the Temporal Loom and its branches to that twinge of happiness in Mobius’ eye upon seeing his variant’s home life. But I’d be lying if I said I completely understood all of the timeline shifts and shenanigans on display.
