Speculations surrounding Loki season 2
Time-slipping unveiled
The fascinating concept of time-slipping is introduced in Loki season 2's foray as the protagonists try to stabilize the timelines that are now spiraling out of control.
Time-slipping, described as a phenomenon where Loki involuntarily disassembles and reassembles at different points in time, could have been triggered by his encounter with He Who Remains (Jonathan Majors) and the subsequent disruption of the Sacred Timeline in the first season. This allows him to interact with his own past and future, essentially moving through time.
Kang: A nexus of time
As Loki aficionados may already be aware, Kang the Conqueror, a formidable character in the MCU, possesses an intimate knowledge of time manipulation and control. Theories suggesting a connection between the mystique of time-slipping and Kang's grand plan are now making the rounds online.
Enter the labyrinth of theories, where Kang and Victor Timely may share a connection that transcends mere coincidence. A daring theory even suggests that Kang, who’s ‘presumed’ dead after the events of Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, in his pursuit of total domination, could be operating in disguise under the alias of Victor Timely as a time-displaced variant.
