Who is more powerful, God of Stories Loki?

 Loki (Tom Hiddleston) is now the most powerful being in the MCU. Not in a punchingly superpowered way — because that place might still be held by superskrull G’iah (Emilia Clarke) — but in a godlike time-controlling way. In the last episodes of Season 2 of Loki, the former god of mischief managed to control his time-slipping and travel willingly to different parts of his timeline. While the rewriting of destiny called back to a comic book storyline in which he turns into the god of stories, this plot and character evolution is so much more. Some learning, experimenting, and emotional discoveries later, Loki realizes he has to make the ultimate sacrifice for the sake of reality and free will. In one of the most bonkers twists the MCU has seen, Loki defies his destiny of losing, transcending into his glorious purpose and transforming into the god of time.

Loki Becomes the God of Time in the Season 2 Finale


Loki Season 2's finale takes the multiverse through a rollercoaster of emotions. At first thinking there might be a way to fix things by time-slipping every time Victor Timely (Jonathan Majors) fails to use the Throughput Multiplier to fix the Temporal Loom, it eventually becomes clear that not even the original plan will alleviate the Sacred Timeline’s collapse. Loki then goes back further in time, to when Sylvie (Sophia Di Martino) killed He Who Remains (also Majors) to try and talk her out of killing him once and for all. None of his attempts to do this work, and He Who Remains tells Loki he’ll have to kill Sylvie because the Sacred Timeline’s fail-safe nature will make it impossible to fit all the branched timelines and continue without him.



Loki doesn’t give up and goes way back when he met Mobius (Owen Wilson) to ask him for advice on how to decide who lives and who dies. At some points, it seems Loki might make the tough choice and kill Sylvie, but a last meeting with her convinces him the lack of free will is not a way to live. That’s how he decides to take Victor’s place by walking the gangway himself, destroying the Loom, then picking up the withering timelines and moving towards the Citadel at the End of Time. His ascension essentially makes him the god of time, isolated from everyone, but knowing he saved them all and defied his destiny by sitting on a throne and truly fulfilling his glorious purpose. It feels catastrophic, the way Captain America: The Winter Soldier destroyed S.H.I.E.L.D. as a superhuman government authority. In that sense, the Loki series got rid of the ultimate decider of the multiverse’s fate, and established Loki as the protector of each and every timeline.
