Can someone answer these questions about the Loki final I have

OK, so first of all how did he survive the radiation? I mean I know I saw him getting older from it but he’s not technically a god he’s a frost giant so he doesn’t get stronger with age. also, how is he able to hold the vines together and give them energy. I just always thought he use his inner magic to give them power but I don’t know if I’m right about that. also did he just transmute his outfit into something else when it was getting torn off also, did he transmit the throne into gold?

He leveled up. There is no real explanation. He somehow became able to travel through time at will at first. Then more powers followed. We don’t know why.

Maybe all Lokis have this potential to become this powerful, maybe not, we don’t know. But this one became incredibly powerful for reasons unknown.

Phazetic992026-01-19 17:02

Maybe he was given those powers by DOOM! And that is why everything is GREEN!

FerrusManlyManus2026-01-19 18:13

Green lantern did it

DelcoUnited2026-01-19 19:40

Morbius is Sinestro confirmed!

HermanThaGerman2026-01-19 17:59

Don't forget he spent centuries learning everything O.B. knows. Plenty of time to also level up his magic.

KlewMai2026-01-20 21:40

He spent that time learning physics, not magic.

TechSergeantTiberius2026-01-21 04:21

Thor said he’s from a place where science and magic are one and the same. Loki’s from the same place.

KlewMai2026-01-21 04:30

Bio cybernetics is a completely different branch of science from applied physics and is a completely different branch to engineering and and and. Just because you know how to create fireworks in your hand doesn't mean you instantly understand temporal fluctuation mechanics.

TechSergeantTiberius2026-01-21 04:36

It’s make believe and a movie quote. It’s really not that deep.

KlewMai2026-01-21 04:59

You only have that take now, though. After being proven wrong?

MIAxPaperPlanes2026-01-19 18:00

Regarding time-slipping the best explanation/theory I’ve seen is

HWR messed with his own timepad. When Sylvie took it and sent Loki back to the TVA it sent him to the past TVA, which normally is impossible. Since Loki was sent to an impossible time period, in a location outside of time, Lokis entire being was in Flux. His Temporal Aura kept trying to rip him back to where he was supposed to be- in the future. But the TVA has no future or past, so he just kept jumping around the TVA. All of which should be impossible.

JoeN0t5ur32026-01-19 18:29

Never forget Loki is the "master of stories"

FerrusManlyManus2026-01-19 18:32

Not in the MCU. He has the glorious purpose of keeping the multiverse together while also being alone

Fi1thyMick2026-01-19 22:09

He can be many things in the MCU. He was the main villain, he's been comic relief, he's the hero, he's got range

FerrusManlyManus2026-01-19 22:34

God of Stories if I remember correctly is actually having control over what happens in timelines. We just know he is keeping them alive.

Fi1thyMick2026-01-20 04:12

Disney marvel takes its liberties. All that honestly matters is, did you enjoy the show? I loved it personally. I was really looking forward to Kang being the boss fight, even after Ant Man

Friendly-Ad-92922026-01-19 17:02

Odin transformed loki to an asgardian with his magic, so I assume he also gets stronger with age

Junior_Counter_17182026-01-19 17:24

Whatever I heard that theory I just dismissed it but now I’m reconsidering maybe since how old he is he also knows how to transmute so he just changed Loki biology and since his magic is not frost giant, it’s not compatible so whenever he comes in contact with something frost giant, the magic starts to fade

Type_1002026-01-19 22:09

His magic wasn't from his Frost Giant heritage every magic Loki knew, he learned it from Frigga.

Junior_Counter_17182026-01-19 22:10

Yes, but you do know the only reason Frost giant, and gods can cast magic it’s because they both have a magical spark inside of them. That’s the reason all their magic looks different.

Type_1002026-01-19 22:11

Neither of that is canon in the MCU.

Junior_Counter_17182026-01-19 22:12

That’s not canon then what other reason can they cast magic what makes them so different then

Type_1002026-01-19 22:28

They simply can. You're overanalyzing the MCU, it's not that deep.
They simply just can use magic, that's it.

Junior_Counter_17182026-01-19 22:30

If they can just cast magic that doesn’t make them unique anyone can cast magic if they learn it

Type_1002026-01-19 22:39

Because they're not unique. It's even repeated multiple times that they say they're not Gods.

MCU is not rocket science, you're overcomplicating things with your headcanons that is not in the MCU.

Junior_Counter_17182026-01-19 23:36

Sometimes they don’t explain itself to us. And I know they’re not gods I just called them that and most people do too

chaoticbadgood2026-01-20 16:40

Anyone could learn magic in mcu like Dr Strange did. It does take some level of research skills and determination but that is about it.

CaptHayfever2026-01-20 09:55

Sorcery in the MCU is presented as a skill anyone could learn with enough discipline.

Junior_Counter_17182026-01-20 13:28

It is, but some sorcery types cannot be learned

chaoticbadgood2026-01-20 16:42

Yes they can

Void_Warden2026-01-19 17:10

You really shouldn't apply comics rules to the MCU. There's no evidence that Asgardians in the mcu have the "the older we become, the stronger we are" rule. Hell, if Odin's death is anything to go by, it's blatantly untrue.

Time-slipping isn't a regular Asgardian magical power. It's caused by Sylvie's actions destabilizing TVA Loki's place in the timelines. And Loki learns how to control it. So it's implied (I think), that while walking and gathering timelines, Loki is simultaneously time-slipping to counteract the effect and "energize" the timelines.

He's made himself into a living channel for time itself.

As for the cloak and stuff, Loki is a conjurer and an illusionist. Those fit his usual powers

repalec2026-01-19 17:43

I was under the interpretation that Loki wasn't using his timeslipping to power the timelines, he's enchanting them with his innate magic.

Void_Warden2026-01-19 17:44

That could be another option. But I think there's a narrative and in-universe logic to him fueling the timelines thanks to the completion of his character progression.

DrManhattan_DDM2026-01-19 17:11

Loki changing his clothes should be the least surprising thing to anyone watching. The character changed his appearance frequently. And we know from Season 1 that not all of the clothing he conjures are an illusion, like the cloak/blanket he conjures for himself and Sylvie.

Junior_Counter_17182026-01-19 17:21

I think the blanket was probably from his pocket dimension. It is a theory that how he manifest all those weapons it’s because they have a pocket dimension, I just think he just transmute into daggers

CommunityDragon1842026-01-19 17:22

He is a god.

The MCU isn’t a literal place. It’s true God is jack Kirby.

Loki leveled up bc the multiverse is all a meta story and he pushed past the edges of his original plot

Affectionate_Gold3702026-01-19 18:05

Loki isn't a God in the Marvel Universe.

CommunityDragon1842026-01-19 18:06

He is literally the god of stories. Confirmed by the shows director.

So yes. He is a god.

evapotranspire2026-01-19 18:14

"No matter what we do, we're playing God." - Sylvie
"We *are* gods." - Loki

DelcoUnited2026-01-19 19:43

I know what kind of god I want to be.

ZongoNuada2026-01-19 19:10

They used the little g. Not the big G. There is a difference, even Ego acknowledged that.

Rontha_2026-01-19 17:40

It was because he pulled all versions of himself out of the timestream in order to prevent time slipping in the TVA. My dude messed with time, and it BOWED TO HIS WILL!

Affectionate_Gold3702026-01-19 18:03

In the Marvel Universe, Asguardians aren't Gods either, they're just an alien species whom earthlings consider gods.

Junior_Counter_17182026-01-19 18:04

Sorry for calling them gods but I just meant their species and like I said Loki is of their species. Oden made him look different, but he’s still a frost giant

carymb2026-01-19 18:31

As somebody else pointed out, I think here in Reddit years ago, since "magic doesn't work in the TVA" Loki must've been physically changed into an Asgardian? Otherwise, he should really turn blue the second the TVA nabs him?

And don't sweat the gods thing, "Thor Love and Thunder" seems to swing back to the idea that the Asgardians *are* gods, along with Zeus and everybody else from mythology... Which is kinda how it is in the comics, they just also make those 'gods' sort of limited, so as not to offend widespread current religions (you aren't going to see Vishnu or Buddha hanging out with Zeus, let alone Jesus and Allah sharing father-and-son kosher hot dogs!)

Sad_Animator16862026-01-20 00:17

I’d say the Asgardians as well as all the gods in Love and Thunder are basically presented as “superpowered aliens who at some point have visited earth and fucked about with people for laughs”

“Gods” doesn’t seem to have any meaning outside of “very powerful”

Yeshavesome4202026-01-21 05:49

Very powerful beings that assumed the roles of gods to lesser beings. Basically they’re just manipulative assholes.

KlewMai2026-01-20 21:55

This was retconned in the fourth thor movie.

juances192026-01-19 18:26

My take is that since he was sent through a time door while HWR died and the multiverse started rebranching again that somehow glitched the portal and split his soul into every branch at once.

He still has one body, but he could "move" it to any place or any time he wants, he just didn't know how to control it properly at first.

iwannalynch2026-01-19 18:50

> how is he able to hold the vines together and give them energy.

I always interpreted that as an level up of his enchantment abilities that he learned from Sylvie

Junior_Counter_17182026-01-19 18:52

I thought the same thing, but I just didn’t think enchantment could go that far that he could just put his power into them like that Because I just thought enchantment could only just control the mind.

SeekerVash2026-01-19 19:40

The writers went with "The rule of cool".

It's a great show, but it almost completely falls apart if you examine it at all. Just don't think about it.

SweetNiaaa2026-01-19 20:10

loki became the god of time or reality.. something like that

-terms2026-01-19 22:40

I think it's similar to the climax of Hercules. Doing courageous godlike thing grants you some level of god-hood.

He may be a frost giant but becoming odins son was no accident in cosmic terms

Everyoneheresamoron2026-01-20 01:51

Its time radiation, he learned how to control his time slipping but also how to control time.

The timelines only exist because they have value to someone outside the timeline. So while an anchor being will keep that timeline without loki's help, because he is there, those other timelines also can exist and not die off as well.

He has the ability to change his appearance to whatever he wants and its not just an illusion but slightly more like reality bending for himself and his clothes. He CAN create illusions but also modify his appearance and himself.

He probably did transmute the throne into gold. He is loki after all, it would be his style.

I am just winging it on these answers but these are my headcanons feel free to correct them if I'm wrong.

Katnamedeaster2026-01-20 05:05

I thought he was pulling the gold from the cracks in the original Citidel to coat his throne.

tenehemia2026-01-20 12:33

I think it's important to view absolutely everything happening in the TVA and other out-of-time locations like the citadel as being not necessarily bound by any physical laws we know. These places were created by He Who Remains and they operate in whatever way he wants them to. So things like someone surviving or not surviving the radiation or being able to grasp the tendrils of time bare handed or any other feat is conceivable for the sole reason that these places can be whatever He Who Remains wanted them to be. Maybe Loki was able to do these things because they were made to be done by him or maybe it was looser and it's just that Loki is adaptable enough to find his way in it, but either way it's possible without concern for what Loki might be able to do in the rest of reality.
