Sylvie and Loki’s romantic relationship is weird

I am probably not the only one who thinks this. I have been rewatching the first season of *Loki* and I noticed that Sylvie mentions that her timeline has been pruned long before he was born. If true, I feel this makes their relationship weirder since this implies that Sylvie is years (maybe decades) older than Loki.

Anyway, what are your thoughts on their relationship?

I mean... she's a variant of him so like...

Also they're both consenting adults now. Maybe Loki likes Older people. also he really likes himself.

I think the hand-wringing about age-gap relationships starts to become absurd when everyone is over 1000 years old.

Rhensley002026-01-19 23:42

At that point your just splitting hairs

They’re gods. We can’t put age restrictions on them using human morality causes. Being 20 years older than someone is less of an issue when you’ve lived or will live for centuries.

Same difference, they might not live as long as Asgardians generally but Jötnar are still believed to have lifespans anywhere from multiple centuries to some being believed to be thousands of years old.

Loki in my head is a God, maybe because of the moniker. So that’s where that confusion comes from for me probably.

What is time when you can jump around in the timeline? Sure, maybe her pruning happened in 104CE and Loki wasn't born until 1044CE, but he could have had more actual time existing while she's been madly hopping between catastrophes for the past 60 years of her life after being pruned at 12

Really? The whole selfcest thing isn't what bothers you... but the ages of 2 fictional adults in a consenting relationship?

Alright, man. Whatever floats your goat

Affectionate_Gold3702026-01-19 23:39

the selfcest makes sense, dude is the biggest self centered narcissist in the universe.

Rhensley002026-01-19 23:42

Multiverse really

DoubleStrength2026-01-19 23:44

Don't they even say that out loud at some point in the series?

I guess people would have to look up from their phones to notice it.

ICPosse82026-01-19 23:41

Lmao I was thinking this same shit

ManiacallyReddit2026-01-19 23:33

Do years/decades really matter for being that are centuries old?

I don't like that they put a romantic subplot in the first season at all, but since they did, Loki falling for himself is just about as "Loki" as you can get. (I'm not against Sylvie, I just don't think it needed to go in that direction.)

Affectionate_Gold3702026-01-19 23:41

well, it makes more sense to have that in the first season given how Loki becomes less narcissistic and more altruistic in the following ones.

John_316_2026-01-19 23:33

Age is not the weird aspect of their relationship…

Ubergoober1662026-01-19 23:33

Their *age difference* is the part you find wierd??

Eclipsiical2026-01-19 23:33

I don’t think you’re meant to believe it *isn’t* weird. Even the Multiverse thought it was so weird that they were spiking the TVA just by holding hands. It is definitely abnormal but, 1) they are both Loki and Loki is narcissistic, so of all people to fall in love with, it would be themself, and 2) they are probably the only people in the Multiverse that could understand each other in the moment they were in so they developed that type of bond.

They don’t even end up together ultimately, so.

Brouxby2026-01-19 23:34

The age gap is what made it weird for you?

Not the " i'm trying to court myself" angle?

One_True_Monstro2026-01-19 23:35

This take is so absurd, it feels like it’s from Discord…

Vumi_2026-01-19 23:35

During the events of Loki season 1, let's say around episode 3, TVA Loki is presumed to be around a \~1000 years old. Sylvie being decades older doesn't really mean much when you consider how long these variants have been around. Keep in mind that (TVA) Loki spent the majority of his life on Asgard with the Asgardians. Now, this is only if we assume that Sylvie is around this age too. The TV show hasn't really specified her age, so we can't say with certainty.

After Loki season 2, TVA Loki could legit be older than Sylvie as he has spent centuries learning theoretical physics and engineering with OB. He also spent god knows how long rewinding time (time slipping) trying to convince Sylvie to stop killing He Who Remains.

I love them. And I think it's stupid to talk about age gaps between people who are already thousands of years old.

letsmediealoneonmars2026-01-19 23:38

Thor is atleast a milennium older than Jane and I don't see yall complaining

CapnRogersNbrhood2026-01-19 23:39

Well, I suppose I’m pleasantly surprised that this isn’t about them being the “same person”. Other than that I got nothing.

chandlershelzi2026-01-19 23:39

Idc about the age but the actors have ZERO chemistry

eagc72026-01-19 23:40

They are both adults.

The weird part is more than its Loki kissing himself

FuturePlantDoctor2026-01-19 23:42

I think the weird thing is someone being hung up on an age gap of two *FICTIONAL* adults. But okay.

poptarts11132026-01-19 23:43

Oh ffs.

They’re fictional characters and gods who have lived for centuries and you’re worried about a couple of “years, maybe decades”??

Stay away from Greek mythology, my dude, that’ll really blow your mind.

urgasmic2026-01-19 23:44

yeah it was very weird and confusing to me. whatever they were going for i feel like they could have done differently.

FatBoyWithTheChain2026-01-19 23:44

I don’t find the age thing to be weird. Isn’t Thor like hundreds of years older than Jane?

I did think it’s kind of weird to have a relationship with a variant of yourself tho.

valevalevalevale2026-01-19 23:46

I assume you have the same issues with Thor and Jane’s age difference then? No?

What about Wanda and Vision? He’s only a few years old, after all.

Liraeyn2026-01-19 23:57

Sylvie was pruned as a child, Loki as an adult. Based on where they are in character arcs, I think she's actually younger. But they're both old enough to consent, so who cares?

Ky1arStern2026-01-20 00:39

The only person Loki could love is himself: on brand.

Sylvie has actually lived a life unloved and persecuted. So she's not just Loki, she's cooler Loki at that.
