As one of many many variations of Kang the Conqueror, Timely instantly feels essential to the second season, even earlier than we all know it’s his designs that impressed (nay, created?) the Time Loom. Sure, that was by He Who Remains’ design, however nonetheless! As we see from his workshop of innovations and the best way Miss Minutes tries to come on to him: Timely’s obtained the juice!
[Ed. note: This post will now spoil the end of episode 4 in some detail, with some speculation of what’s to come. Ye be warned.]
So it’s sort of stunning when, after all of the teamwork and energy and Marvel CGI that obtained him to the TVA with O.B. to construct the magic machine that saved the day, he simply… spaghetti’d. In simply an instantaneous, Timely turns into noodles, and Loki is left dumbstruck, simply questioning what the hell they’re going to do with out him, whereas the viewers wonders what the heck Loki will do with out him.
Still, this season folding in on itself a lot has taught us one factor: This second may need main implications for the space-time continuum. Timely getting the time-space pasta remedy may imply his existence, life, consciousness, or matter has merely been wibbly-wobblied some other place. As such, spaghettified Victor Timely may not be gone — or no less than, the narrative may not be carried out with him. So what precisely may have occurred to him? Here are our theories.

We know that there are seemingly countless Kangs unfold throughout countless realities, however how did they change into… you understand, Kang? He comes from the longer term, so his superior expertise (and his supersuit) can account for a lot of of his powers. And we all know he has a genius-level mind, as proven by means of Victor Timely’s less-than-timely innovations. But his capacity to manipulate time and actuality? It’s generally attributed to his swimsuit, however I feel it’s additionally a bit of left open to interpretation.
What if we simply noticed its origin in Loki? The man was, as many have put it earlier than me, fully and completely spaghetti’d as he approached the Loom and the numerous completely different branches of the multiverse. Could his essence have been unfold out into the multiverse by means of the Loom, gaining surprising powers within the course of? Or, much more straight, did this occasion by some means change the mind chemistry of all different variants throughout the timelines, due to sheer proximity to these timelines? Could this have been the occasion that remodeled Victor Timely/Nathaniel Richards into Kang the Conqueror? It looks like the sort of factor the MCU would do — they love a grand reveal, in any case, and Loki has been requested to be surprisingly load-bearing when it comes to the universe’s subsequent Big Bad. So displaying his “origin” of kinds within the sequence wouldn’t be that a lot of a stretch. —Pete Volk
Theory 2: Victor Timely goes to go some other place within the Marvel Cinematic Universe

What little we all know in regards to the technobabble of the Time Loom is it’s pulling all the varied timelines of the multiverse and getting clogged. But in contrast to an precise stitching machine, the Loom is simply sitting in huge house, pulling in no matter strands get close to it. So possibly when Victor turns into strands within the huge vacuum outdoors the TVA, his remnants simply additionally get sucked up into the Loom, like one big machine-like wormhole.
From there, Timely may plop out… anyplace! My guess is it doesn’t even have to be anyplace massive (or definitely shouldn’t be), just like the Battle of New York or the battle towards Thanos. It’ll simply be a fast little end-credits gag, like the unique Guardians of the Galaxy tag with Howard the Duck. Hopefully he lands someplace he can preserve making his little innovations; if not, effectively, there’s all the time the following Kang. —Zosha Millman

I feel he’s useless. Which would seemingly current an issue to the timeline: If Victor Timely is basically the Kang who invented the TVA, then he’d want to haven’t died earlier than he invented the TVA. Perhaps we’re about to see the fallout of that — two climactic episodes by which all TVA workers get up of their regular lives on the timeline, as a result of there was by no means a TVA to pull them out of it. Maybe Mobius would lastly get to trip a Jet Ski. Maybe he’d have to select between Jet Skis and placing the TVA again into existence by some means.
But truthfully, causality solely appears to exist when Loki desires it to, so who is aware of! If Timely is useless, there are loads extra Kangs to go round. —Susana Polo

That’s proper, Victor Timely isn’t He Who Remains, essentially, however he’s an equally if not much more essential variant of Kang: the one who began spaghetti. Inside the partitions of the TVA, far outdoors the bounds of normal time, all spaghetti, and presumably all European noodle shapes on the whole, had been found mainly by means of the disintegration of Victor Timely.

Of course, it’s essential to do not forget that Victor is however one man, and his corporeal kind is restricted by its dimension, even when stretched by the unstable Loom. This means, tragically, that not each timeline will get to expertise the magic of spaghetti.

So possibly when Victor turns into strands within the huge vacuum outdoors the TVA, his remnants simply additionally get sucked up into the Loom, like one big machine-like wormhole.
From there, Timely may plop out… anyplace! My guess is it doesn’t even have to be anyplace massive (or definitely shouldn’t be), just like the Battle of New York or the battle towards Thanos. It’ll simply be a fast little end-credits gag, like the unique Guardians of the Galaxy tag with Howard the Duck. Hopefully he lands someplace he can preserve making his little innovations; if not, effectively, there’s all the time the following Kang. —Zosha Millman

I feel he’s useless. Which would seemingly current an issue to the timeline: If Victor Timely is basically the Kang who invented the TVA, then he’d want to haven’t died earlier than he invented the TVA. Perhaps we’re about to see the fallout of that — two climactic episodes by which all TVA workers get up of their regular lives on the timeline, as a result of there was by no means a TVA to pull them out of it. Maybe Mobius would lastly get to trip a Jet Ski. Maybe he’d have to select between Jet Skis and placing the TVA again into existence by some means.
But truthfully, causality solely appears to exist when Loki desires it to, so who is aware of! If Timely is useless, there are loads extra Kangs to go round. —Susana Polo

My concept is brief, uncomplicated, and finest summarized by means of the phrases of Polygon government editor Matthew Patches when he’s in dad mode: pasghetti.
That’s proper, Victor Timely isn’t He Who Remains, essentially, however he’s an equally if not much more essential variant of Kang: the one who began spaghetti. Inside the partitions of the TVA, far outdoors the bounds of normal time, all spaghetti, and presumably all European noodle shapes on the whole, had been found mainly by means of the disintegration of Victor Timely. Through his sacrifice, the brilliant divinity of his newly noodly kind will slip into the loom and be dispersed all through the multiverse, sliding proper into the right place in every universe’s historical past to assist somebody uncover the holiest type of pasta sauce supply: the spaghetti noodle.
Of course, it’s essential to do not forget that Victor is however one man, and his corporeal kind is restricted by its dimension, even when stretched by the unstable Loom. This means, tragically, that not each timeline will get to expertise the magic of spaghetti. Some misplaced out on its pasta perfection, as a result of their universe was by no means delivered a horrifying Cronenberg-esque noodle-shaped piece of a person. But thank God we exist in one which did. —Austen Goslin
Victor Timely’s fingerprints are throughout Loki season 2, even when he isn’t. As one of many many variations of Kang the Conqueror, Timely instantly feels essential to the second season, even earlier than we all know it’s his designs that impressed (nay, created?) the Time Loom. Sure, that was by He Who Remains’ design, however nonetheless! As we see from his workshop of innovations and the best way Miss Minutes tries to come on to him: Timely’s obtained the juice!
[Ed. note: This post will now spoil the end of episode 4 in some detail, with some speculation of what’s to come. Ye be warned.]
So it’s sort of stunning when, after all of the teamwork and energy and Marvel CGI that obtained him to the TVA with O.B. to construct the magic machine that saved the day, he simply… spaghetti’d. In simply an instantaneous, Timely turns into noodles, and Loki is left dumbstruck, simply questioning what the hell they’re going to do with out him, whereas the viewers wonders what the heck Loki will do with out him.
Still, this season folding in on itself a lot has taught us one factor: This second may need main implications for the space-time continuum. Timely getting the time-space pasta remedy may imply his existence, life, consciousness, or matter has merely been wibbly-wobblied some other place. As such, spaghettified Victor Timely may not be gone — or no less than, the narrative may not be carried out with him. So what precisely may have occurred to him? Here are our theories.
Theory 1: Victor Timely’s episode 4 destiny creates Kang the Conqueror

We know that there are seemingly countless Kangs unfold throughout countless realities, however how did they change into… you understand, Kang? He comes from the longer term, so his superior expertise (and his supersuit) can account for a lot of of his powers. And we all know he has a genius-level mind, as proven by means of Victor Timely’s less-than-timely innovations. But his capacity to manipulate time and actuality? It’s generally attributed to his swimsuit, however I feel it’s additionally a bit of left open to interpretation.
What if we simply noticed its origin in Loki? The man was, as many have put it earlier than me, fully and completely spaghetti’d as he approached the Loom and the numerous completely different branches of the multiverse. Could his essence have been unfold out into the multiverse by means of the Loom, gaining surprising powers within the course of? Or, much more straight, did this occasion by some means change the mind chemistry of all different variants throughout the timelines, due to sheer proximity to these timelines? Could this have been the occasion that remodeled Victor Timely/Nathaniel Richards into Kang the Conqueror? It looks like the sort of factor the MCU would do — they love a grand reveal, in any case, and Loki has been requested to be surprisingly load-bearing when it comes to the universe’s subsequent Big Bad. So displaying his “origin” of kinds within the sequence wouldn’t be that a lot of a stretch. —Pete Volk

In simply an instantaneous, Timely turns into noodles, and Loki is left dumbstruck, simply questioning what the hell they’re going to do with out him, whereas the viewers wonders what the heck Loki will do with out him.
Still, this season folding in on itself a lot has taught us one factor: This second may need main implications for the space-time continuum. Timely getting the time-space pasta remedy may imply his existence, life, consciousness, or matter has merely been wibbly-wobblied some other place. As such, spaghettified Victor Timely may not be gone — or no less than, the narrative may not be carried out with him. So what precisely may have occurred to him? Here are our theories.
Theory 1: Victor Timely’s episode 4 destiny creates Kang the Conqueror
Image: Marvel Studios
We know that there are seemingly countless Kangs unfold throughout countless realities, however how did they change into… you understand, Kang? He comes from the longer term, so his superior expertise (and his supersuit) can account for a lot of of his powers. And we all know he has a genius-level mind, as proven by means of Victor Timely’s less-than-timely innovations. But his capacity to manipulate time and actuality? It’s generally attributed to his swimsuit, however I feel it’s additionally a bit of left open to interpretation.
What if we simply noticed its origin in Loki? The man was, as many have put it earlier than me, fully and completely spaghetti’d as he approached the Loom and the numerous completely different branches of the multiverse. Could his essence have been unfold out into the multiverse by means of the Loom, gaining surprising powers within the course of? Or, much more straight, did this occasion by some means change the mind chemistry of all different variants throughout the timelines, due to sheer proximity to these timelines? Could this have been the occasion that remodeled Victor Timely/Nathaniel Richards into Kang the Conqueror? It looks like the sort of factor the MCU would do — they love a grand reveal, in any case, and Loki has been requested to be surprisingly load-bearing when it comes to the universe’s subsequent Big Bad. So displaying his “origin” of kinds within the sequence wouldn’t be that a lot of a stretch. —Pete Volk
Theory 2: Victor Timely goes to go some other place within the Marvel Cinematic Universe

What little we all know in regards to the technobabble of the Time Loom is it’s pulling all the varied timelines of the multiverse and getting clogged. But in contrast to an precise stitching machine, the Loom is simply sitting in huge house, pulling in no matter strands get close to it. So possibly when Victor turns into strands within the huge vacuum outdoors the TVA, his remnants simply additionally get sucked up into the Loom, like one big machine-like wormhole.
From there, Timely may plop out… anyplace! My guess is it doesn’t even have to be anyplace massive (or definitely shouldn’t be), just like the Battle of New York or the battle towards Thanos. It’ll simply be a fast little end-credits gag, like the unique Guardians of the Galaxy tag with Howard the Duck. Hopefully he lands someplace he can preserve making his little innovations; if not, effectively, there’s all the time the following Kang. —Zosha Millman
Theory 3: Victor Timely died!

I feel he’s useless. Which would seemingly current an issue to the timeline: If Victor Timely is basically the Kang who invented the TVA, then he’d want to haven’t died earlier than he invented the TVA. Perhaps we’re about to see the fallout of that — two climactic episodes by which all TVA workers get up of their regular lives on the timeline, as a result of there was by no means a TVA to pull them out of it. Maybe Mobius would lastly get to trip a Jet Ski. Maybe he’d have to select between Jet Skis and placing the TVA again into existence by some means.
But truthfully, causality solely appears to exist when Loki desires it to, so who is aware of! If Timely is useless, there are loads extra Kangs to go round. —Susana Polo

My concept is brief, uncomplicated, and finest summarized by means of the phrases of Polygon government editor Matthew Patches when he’s in dad mode: pasghetti.
That’s proper, Victor Timely isn’t He Who Remains, essentially, however he’s an equally if not much more essential variant of Kang: the one who began spaghetti. Inside the partitions of the TVA, far outdoors the bounds of normal time, all spaghetti, and presumably all European noodle shapes on the whole, had been found mainly by means of the disintegration of Victor Timely. Through his sacrifice, the brilliant divinity of his newly noodly kind will slip into the loom and be dispersed all through the multiverse, sliding proper into the right place in every universe’s historical past to assist somebody uncover the holiest type of pasta sauce supply: the spaghetti noodle.
Of course, it’s essential to do not forget that Victor is however one man, and his corporeal kind is restricted by its dimension, even when stretched by the unstable Loom. This means, tragically, that not each timeline will get to expertise the magic of spaghetti. Some misplaced out on its pasta perfection, as a result of their universe was by no means delivered a horrifying Cronenberg-esque noodle-shaped piece of a person. But thank God we exist in one which did. —Austen Goslin
Victor Timely’s fingerprints are throughout Loki season 2, even when he isn’t. As one of many many variations of Kang the Conqueror, Timely instantly feels essential to the second season, even earlier than we all know it’s his designs that impressed (nay, created?) the Time Loom. Sure, that was by He Who Remains’ design, however nonetheless! As we see from his workshop of innovations and the best way Miss Minutes tries to come on to him: Timely’s obtained the juice!

My concept is brief, uncomplicated, and finest summarized by means of the phrases of Polygon government editor Matthew Patches when he’s in dad mode: pasghetti.
That’s proper, Victor Timely isn’t He Who Remains, essentially, however he’s an equally if not much more essential variant of Kang: the one who began spaghetti. Inside the partitions of the TVA, far outdoors the bounds of normal time, all spaghetti, and presumably all European noodle shapes on the whole, had been found mainly by means of the disintegration of Victor Timely. Through his sacrifice, the brilliant divinity of his newly noodly kind will slip into the loom and be dispersed all through the multiverse, sliding proper into the right place in every universe’s historical past to assist somebody uncover the holiest type of pasta sauce supply: the spaghetti noodle.
Of course, it’s essential to do not forget that Victor is however one man, and his corporeal kind is restricted by its dimension, even when stretched by the unstable Loom. This means, tragically, that not each timeline will get to expertise the magic of spaghetti. Some misplaced out on its pasta perfection, as a result of their universe was by no means delivered a horrifying Cronenberg-esque noodle-shaped piece of a person. But thank God we exist in one which did. —Austen Goslin
Victor Timely’s fingerprints are throughout Loki season 2, even when he isn’t. As one of many many variations of Kang the Conqueror, Timely instantly feels essential to the second season, even earlier than we all know it’s his designs that impressed (nay, created?) the Time Loom. Sure, that was by He Who Remains’ design, however nonetheless! As we see from his workshop of innovations and the best way Miss Minutes tries to come on to him: Timely’s obtained the juice!
[Ed. note: This post will now spoil the end of episode 4 in some detail, with some speculation of what’s to come. Ye be warned.]
So it’s sort of stunning when, after all of the teamwork and energy and Marvel CGI that obtained him to the TVA with O.B. to construct the magic machine that saved the day, he simply… spaghetti’d. In simply an instantaneous, Timely turns into noodles, and Loki is left dumbstruck, simply questioning what the hell they’re going to do with out him, whereas the viewers wonders what the heck Loki will do with out him.
Still, this season folding in on itself a lot has taught us one factor: This second may need main implications for the space-time continuum. Timely getting the time-space pasta remedy may imply his existence, life, consciousness, or matter has merely been wibbly-wobblied some other place. As such, spaghettified Victor Timely may not be gone — or no less than, the narrative may not be carried out with him. So what precisely may have occurred to him? Here are our theories.
Theory 1: Victor Timely’s episode 4 destiny creates Kang the Conqueror
Image: Marvel Studios
We know that there are seemingly countless Kangs unfold throughout countless realities, however how did they change into… you understand, Kang? He comes from the longer term, so his superior expertise (and his supersuit) can account for a lot of of his powers. And we all know he has a genius-level mind, as proven by means of Victor Timely’s less-than-timely innovations. But his capacity to manipulate time and actuality? It’s generally attributed to his swimsuit, however I feel it’s additionally a bit of left open to interpretation.
What if we simply noticed its origin in Loki? The man was, as many have put it earlier than me, fully and completely spaghetti’d as he approached the Loom and the numerous completely different branches of the multiverse. Could his essence have been unfold out into the multiverse by means of the Loom, gaining surprising powers within the course of? Or, much more straight, did this occasion by some means change the mind chemistry of all different variants throughout the timelines, due to sheer proximity to these timelines? Could this have been the occasion that remodeled Victor Timely/Nathaniel Richards into Kang the Conqueror? It looks like the sort of factor the MCU would do — they love a grand reveal, in any case, and Loki has been requested to be surprisingly load-bearing when it comes to the universe’s subsequent Big Bad. So displaying his “origin” of kinds within the sequence wouldn’t be that a lot of a stretch. —Pete Volk
Theory 2: Victor Timely goes to go some other place within the Marvel Cinematic Universe

What little we all know in regards to the technobabble of the Time Loom is it’s pulling all the varied timelines of the multiverse and getting clogged. But in contrast to an precise stitching machine, the Loom is simply sitting in huge house, pulling in no matter strands get close to it. So possibly when Victor turns into strands within the huge vacuum outdoors the TVA, his remnants simply additionally get sucked up into the Loom, like one big machine-like wormhole.
From there, Timely may plop out… anyplace! My guess is it doesn’t even have to be anyplace massive (or definitely shouldn’t be), just like the Battle of New York or the battle towards Thanos. It’ll simply be a fast little end-credits gag, like the unique Guardians of the Galaxy tag with Howard the Duck. Hopefully he lands someplace he can preserve making his little innovations; if not, effectively, there’s all the time the following Kang. —Zosha Millman

What if we simply noticed its origin in Loki?

Or, much more straight, did this occasion by some means change the mind chemistry of all different variants throughout the timelines, due to sheer proximity to these timelines? Could this have been the occasion that remodeled Victor Timely/Nathaniel Richards into Kang the Conqueror? It looks like the sort of factor the MCU would do — they love a grand reveal, in any case, and Loki has been requested to be surprisingly load-bearing when it comes to the universe’s subsequent Big Bad.

Theory 2: Victor Timely goes to go some other place within the Marvel Cinematic Universe

What little we all know in regards to the technobabble of the Time Loom is it’s pulling all the varied timelines of the multiverse and getting clogged. But in contrast to an precise stitching machine, the Loom is simply sitting in huge house, pulling in no matter strands get close to it. So possibly when Victor turns into strands within the huge vacuum outdoors the TVA, his remnants simply additionally get sucked up into the Loom, like one big machine-like wormhole.
From there, Timely may plop out… anyplace! My guess is it doesn’t even have to be anyplace massive (or definitely shouldn’t be), just like the Battle of New York or the battle towards Thanos. It’ll simply be a fast little end-credits gag, like the unique Guardians of the Galaxy tag with Howard the Duck. Hopefully he lands someplace he can preserve making his little innovations; if not, effectively, there’s all the time the following Kang. —Zosha Millman
Theory 3: Victor Timely died!

I feel he’s useless. Which would seemingly current an issue to the timeline: If Victor Timely is basically the Kang who invented the TVA, then he’d want to haven’t died earlier than he invented the TVA. Perhaps we’re about to see the fallout of that — two climactic episodes by which all TVA workers get up of their regular lives on the timeline, as a result of there was by no means a TVA to pull them out of it. Maybe Mobius would lastly get to trip a Jet Ski. Maybe he’d have to select between Jet Skis and placing the TVA again into existence by some means.
But truthfully, causality solely appears to exist when Loki desires it to, so who is aware of! If Timely is useless, there are loads extra Kangs to go round. —Susana Polo

That’s proper, Victor Timely isn’t He Who Remains, essentially, however he’s an equally if not much more essential variant of Kang: the one who began spaghetti. Inside the partitions of the TVA, far outdoors the bounds of normal time, all spaghetti, and presumably all European noodle shapes on the whole, had been found mainly by means of the disintegration of Victor Timely. Through his sacrifice, the brilliant divinity of his newly noodly kind will slip into the loom and be dispersed all through the multiverse, sliding proper into the right place in every universe’s historical past to assist somebody uncover the holiest type of pasta sauce supply: the spaghetti noodle.
Of course, it’s essential to do not forget that Victor is however one man, and his corporeal kind is restricted by its dimension, even when stretched by the unstable Loom. This means, tragically, that not each timeline will get to expertise the magic of spaghetti. Some misplaced out on its pasta perfection, as a result of their universe was by no means delivered a horrifying Cronenberg-esque noodle-shaped piece of a person.

Victor Timely’s fingerprints are throughout Loki season 2, even when he isn’t. As one of many many variations of Kang the Conqueror, Timely instantly feels essential to the second season, even earlier than we all know it’s his designs that impressed (nay, created?) the Time Loom. Sure, that was by He Who Remains’ design, however nonetheless! As we see from his workshop of innovations and the best way Miss Minutes tries to come on to him: Timely’s obtained the juice!

Still, this season folding in on itself a lot has taught us one factor: This second may need main implications for the space-time continuum. Timely getting the time-space pasta remedy may imply his existence, life, consciousness, or matter has merely been wibbly-wobblied some other place. As such, spaghettified Victor Timely may not be gone — or no less than, the narrative may not be carried out with him. So what precisely may have occurred to him? Here are our theories.

Of course, it’s essential to do not forget that Victor is however one man, and his corporeal kind is restricted by its dimension, even when stretched by the unstable Loom. This means, tragically, that not each timeline will get to expertise the magic of spaghetti. Some misplaced out on its pasta perfection, as a result of their universe was by no means delivered a horrifying Cronenberg-esque noodle-shaped piece of a person. But thank God we exist in one which did. —Austen Goslin
Victor Timely’s fingerprints are throughout Loki season 2, even when he isn’t. As one of many many variations of Kang the Conqueror, Timely instantly feels essential to the second season, even earlier than we all know it’s his designs that impressed (nay, created?) the Time Loom. Sure, that was by He Who Remains’ design, however nonetheless! As we see from his workshop of innovations and the best way Miss Minutes tries to come on to him: Timely’s obtained the juice!
[Ed. note: This post will now spoil the end of episode 4 in some detail, with some speculation of what’s to come. Ye be warned.]
So it’s sort of stunning when, after all of the teamwork and energy and Marvel CGI that obtained him to the TVA with O.B. to construct the magic machine that saved the day, he simply… spaghetti’d. In simply an instantaneous, Timely turns into noodles, and Loki is left dumbstruck, simply questioning what the hell they’re going to do with out him, whereas the viewers wonders what the heck Loki will do with out him.
Still, this season folding in on itself a lot has taught us one factor: This second may need main implications for the space-time continuum. Timely getting the time-space pasta remedy may imply his existence, life, consciousness, or matter has merely been wibbly-wobblied some other place. As such, spaghettified Victor Timely may not be gone — or no less than, the narrative may not be carried out with him. So what precisely may have occurred to him? Here are our theories.
Theory 1: Victor Timely’s episode 4 destiny creates Kang the Conqueror
Image: Marvel Studios
We know that there are seemingly countless Kangs unfold throughout countless realities, however how did they change into… you understand, Kang? He comes from the longer term, so his superior expertise (and his supersuit) can account for a lot of of his powers. And we all know he has a genius-level mind, as proven by means of Victor Timely’s less-than-timely innovations. But his capacity to manipulate time and actuality? It’s generally attributed to his swimsuit, however I feel it’s additionally a bit of left open to interpretation.
What if we simply noticed its origin in Loki? The man was, as many have put it earlier than me, fully and completely spaghetti’d as he approached the Loom and the numerous completely different branches of the multiverse. Could his essence have been unfold out into the multiverse by means of the Loom, gaining surprising powers within the course of? Or, much more straight, did this occasion by some means change the mind chemistry of all different variants throughout the timelines, due to sheer proximity to these timelines? Could this have been the occasion that remodeled Victor Timely/Nathaniel Richards into Kang the Conqueror? It looks like the sort of factor the MCU would do — they love a grand reveal, in any case, and Loki has been requested to be surprisingly load-bearing when it comes to the universe’s subsequent Big Bad. So displaying his “origin” of kinds within the sequence wouldn’t be that a lot of a stretch. —Pete Volk
Theory 2: Victor Timely goes to go some other place within the Marvel Cinematic Universe

What little we all know in regards to the technobabble of the Time Loom is it’s pulling all the varied timelines of the multiverse and getting clogged. But in contrast to an precise stitching machine, the Loom is simply sitting in huge house, pulling in no matter strands get close to it. So possibly when Victor turns into strands within the huge vacuum outdoors the TVA, his remnants simply additionally get sucked up into the Loom, like one big machine-like wormhole.
From there, Timely may plop out… anyplace! My guess is it doesn’t even have to be anyplace massive (or definitely shouldn’t be), just like the Battle of New York or the battle towards Thanos. It’ll simply be a fast little end-credits gag, like the unique Guardians of the Galaxy tag with Howard the Duck. Hopefully he lands someplace he can preserve making his little innovations; if not, effectively, there’s all the time the following Kang. —Zosha Millman
Theory 3: Victor Timely died!
Image: Marvel Studios
I feel he’s useless. Which would seemingly current an issue to the timeline: If Victor Timely is basically the Kang who invented the TVA, then he’d want to haven’t died earlier than he invented the TVA. Perhaps we’re about to see the fallout of that — two climactic episodes by which all TVA workers get up of their regular lives on the timeline, as a result of there was by no means a TVA to pull them out of it. Maybe Mobius would lastly get to trip a Jet Ski. Maybe he’d have to select between Jet Skis and placing the TVA again into existence by some means.
But truthfully, causality solely appears to exist when Loki desires it to, so who is aware of! If Timely is useless, there are loads extra Kangs to go round. —Susana Polo

My concept is brief, uncomplicated, and finest summarized by means of the phrases of Polygon government editor Matthew Patches when he’s in dad mode: pasghetti.
That’s proper, Victor Timely isn’t He Who Remains, essentially, however he’s an equally if not much more essential variant of Kang: the one who began spaghetti.
