The original Loki season 2 ending suffered a big change. The Marvel Cinematic Universe series concluded with Loki taking the place of the TVA’s Time Loom, but it could have been very different.
According to Loki season 2 director Aaron Moorhead on Marvel Studios Assembled: The Making of Loki Season 2, the original Loki season 2 ending did not feature Loki destroying the Time Loom and taking its place, but rather saving it. Check out the full quote below:
“There was a draft of the script of the very end, the very end. Something wasn’t sitting right with both of us about it. And the issue was, this draft didn’t have Loki destroying the Loom. He saved the Loom from imploding and then ascended the throne. We all knew something was up, we just didn’t know what. ‘Cause it was like, well he’s trying to save the Loom, he gets the throne, all of this.
But the problem was, is that he didn’t have the sacrifice and we realized, why doesn’t he destroy the Loom and then have to take over the Loom’s massive responsibility? He doesn’t get anything out of it. It seems so obvious now, it seems like exactly the right choice. But that was a watershed moment in the development of it, when we realized Loki needs to destroy and become the Loom.”
