Loki season 2 has now premiered on Disney Plus, and the streaming series is jumping straight back into the story from season 1. But the very end of the season premiere, its post-credits scene, could be foreshadowing something monumental and dire for Loki's future, and🅰 for the future of the MCU.

Spoilers ahead for Loki season 2 episode 1

In the post-credits scene for Loki season 2 episode 1, Syl🌞vie finds herself in Broxton, Oklahoma in the mid-'80s. While nothing spectacular happens in the scene iܫtself, the location of Broxton is important to Loki's comic book history - and what happened there changed Loki forever, with ramifications that ꦜare still playing out in comics to this day.

Broxton first became a key part of the Marvel Universe in 2007's Thor #1, in which the God of Thunder brought Asgard to Earth as a city floating high above the small Oklahoma town. Asgard remained there for several꧙ years, with the citizens of Broxton forming a special relationship with the extra-dimensional floating city.

But all of that came crashing down - literally - in 2010's Siege event story, in which Loki aids 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Norman Osborn and the Dark Avengers in attacking Asgard, with Loki plannin𝕴g to become its ruler once the city is conquered.

However, Osborn has other plans, ordering the Dark Avengers to destroy Asgard rather than capturing it and handing it to Loki. Horrified, Loki turns on Osborn and the Dark Avengers, only for Osborn to pit 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:the Sentry, the Dark Avengers' u💃nstable pไowerhouse against Loki.

After a brief clash, Loki is bested by the Sentry, who literally rips them apart. This leads to Loki's death and resurrection as Kid Loki, who jus෴t recently finished growing back into their old adult self as the God of Lies.

So, what might all this mean for the MCU? It's hard to say this early on, but it seems unlikely that the inclusion of Broxton, Oklahoma is just coincidence. Will we see Loki turn evil again, becoming a villain? Could Loki season 2 introduce the Sentry, who has been rumored as the villain of the upcoming Thunder🐽bolts film?

We'll find out moreꦏ as Loki season 2 continues streaming every week on Disney Pꦐlus.
