After an emotional finale that left several characters' fates up in the air, Loki season 2 head writer Eric Martin has broken down that dramatic final moment for the God of Mischief.
"The big idea was taking Loki from a lowercase-g god, to a capital-G God, powering him up to that place where he gets his throne – but it's not a throne he wants anymore," Martin explained to Esquire. Loki's final scene sees the trickster guarding all the timelines and, essentially, keeping the fabric of time together with his magic.
