By now, Marvel fans are well attuned to scouring every little detail, prop, and background morsel for anything and everything. Because you never know if it’s going to be important. Those watching 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Loki season 2 are no exception, with one eagle-eyed viewer spotting what could be a major MCU anachronism – as well as proving how mighty the intellect of Kang variant 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Victor Timely actually is.

has spied an item on Victor Timely’s lab in Wisconsin. Speed through to around 37:45 in 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Loki season 2, episode 3 and you’ll notice on the left side that part of Kang’s temporal loom display from earlier on looks suspiciously like the a🎃rc reactor used to power T🤡ony Stark’s heart and Iron Man suits over a century later.

And, yes, we know Tony’s father Howard had a hand in constructing the arc reactor, with Tony perfecting it. Even then, Victor Timely could well have built the technology long before then. As one Redditor points ♛out, it could even tie into another Kang variant: Iron Lad, who used Iron Man's armor.

Honestly? The jury’s out on this one. On one hand, it’s a comp♕elling theory – and certainly wouldn’t be beyond the realms of possibility – and does generate a serious amount of energy but, on the other, it may be similar in shape only.

Maybe we should hold our horses, though – or, at least, blame the art department. Conversations 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:surrounding X-Men Easter eggs in previous episodes has led Loki director Dan DeLeeuw to downp♛lay any suggestions of deliberate set-up.

Referring to his humanities tutor at university, he told : "'Well, if it's there, it's there', if she had an idea about a book the author didn't necessarily agree with, or if she int𒆙erpreted something in a different way to others. It's like, 'Okay, I don't think that was the intention, but, if they wanted it to be there, sure,'"

So, if it’s there, it’s there. On a similar Iron Man note, this week marked the exact date for Tony Stark’s death in 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Avengers: Endgame – and 澳洲幸运5开奖号🍎码历史查询:fans are mourning the fictional loss.
