Loki’s Grand Return to Disney Plus
The curtains have risen, and the stage is set. The God of Mischief graces our screens once again with the premiere of ‘Loki’ season 2 on Disney Plus. After the rocky path Marvel fans tread with “Secret Invasion”, the arrival of this new ‘Loki’ season is nothing short of a salve. The sheer brilliance of this season’s premiere prompts even the most skeptical to admit – Loki’s truly back, in all his glory. Our review attests to that very fact!
But if you’re delving into this piece, it’s likely because a burning question has anchored you: “Who was on the other end of that mysterious call at the episode’s end?”
The Enigmatic Caller: Unearthing Theories
The climax of the episode leaves us hanging on a note of suspense. We see Loki, amid a chaotic TVA, receiving a cryptic call. But from whom? The episode leaves this enigmatic, but the clues point strongly towards Kang.
Consider the backdrop: Loki, having time-slipped, finds himself in a possibly attacked and certainly lockdown-bound TVA. Who possesses the might to assail the TVA? None other than Kang the Conqueror, or perhaps one of his equally formidable variants. Moreover, only a being with a profound understanding of time travel’s intricacies could pinpoint Loki’s exact temporal location.
“We can also presume that whoever is calling is trying to contact Loki. But who in the TVA would know that Loki had time slipped to that exact moment? Whoever it was would need to have some pretty specific understanding of the nature of time travel to be able to pull that off.“
Kang’s Possible Proposition
Given these indicators, one could infer that the enigmatic caller might indeed be Kang or a Kang variant. Now, if that holds, the next puzzle is: What could Kang possibly want from Loki?
The scenario suggests a tantalizing possibility: Loki’s allegiance. If this new Kang seeks to overthrow the TVA, he’d be aware of He Who Remains’ fate. To triumph over the TVA, partnering with a being capable of besting a Kang variant would be strategic. Loki, with his proven might, fits this bill. With ‘Quantumania’ shedding light on Kang’s propensity for deals, we could speculate a tempting offer in the offing for Loki – one that grants him dominion over the TVA or even a rightful return to the Sacred Timeline. The latter prospect seems even more plausible, given recent insights about a potential reunion of Loki with Thor.
“Perhaps Kang was calling to offer Loki power over the TVA, something he desperately wanted in season 1.“

Beyond this conjecture, we’re delving deep into other mysteries. The enigma of Loki’s pruner, the mechanics of Time Slipping, and even the significance of Sylvie’s post-credit sequence destination – we’re on a quest to uncover it all.
