The 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Loki season 2 finale was an epic conclusion to Marvel’s time-bending show as༺ we finally found out the God of Mischief’s fate. Amidst all the big revelations, there was also a small detail that viewers have been loving.

This article is about to get into deep spoiler territory for Loki season 2 episode 6, so make sure you&rsq𒁏uo;re up to date before reading on. 

Still here? Well, then you’ll know that Loki’s "glorious purpose" was actually to make the ultimate sacrifice. After deciding he can’t kill Sylvie before she murders 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:He Who Remains, he chooses to step out onto the gangway to the Temporal Loom himself (instead of 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Victor Timely landing the job). 

After destroying it, Loki uses his magic to hold together all of the branched timelines before reaching a throne at the Citadel at the End of Time. Here, he holds a🍒ll of them as if they were roots, becoming a sort of Tree God.

Dur✃ing the process of this, Loki gets a new costume that looks strikingly similar to his getup in the early Thor and Avengers movies, but with a few twists. As some vౠiewers noticed, his horns in particular have a special meaning after being made of the marble of the destroyed Citadel.

This could have a deeper meaning, as the Marvel community pointed out. It seemingly references the Japanese art of kintsugi, which is a kind of joinery that mends broken pieces back together, without hiding their imperfections (we even had a 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:glimpse at it in Ahsoka earlier t🔥his year too). 

"Kintsugi is the art of taking broken things and making tꦦhem stronger😼 than they ever were before – while adding a bit of gold to them," . "Loki discovers that they are much stronger than they once believed. But with glorious purpose comes glorious responsibility."

"I love that touch,"&﷽nbsp;. "Now Loki has a visual signal that he is his broken self put back together." While a third : "That's a really cool detail. He has become intertwined with the End of Time." The detail certainly does repr♉esent perfectly the conclusion to his arc, a broken man who's fulfilled his purpose by an act of selflessness.
