    My one big Loki thought is that the multiverse is a metaphor less for Determinism vs. Free Will than for creativity versus brand management/IP maintenance.

        I’m thinking that the tight continuity of the first three phases of the MCU was probably a pain in the ass to maintain, and this provides an excuse for just doing whatever and saying “Eh, multiverse.”

        Definitely a pain to introduce new characters and come up with reasons why they weren't a part of previous story arcs. They had kinda lame excuses like Wakanda being secluded and Capt Marvel flying around the galaxy.

        I love how metafictional it is. Sylvie says this out loud in today's episode ("it's fiction!")

        The characters are shown the script their actors have learned.

        But then the conclusion is just a set-up to lead in to another round of pre-planned movies, and they are using the multiverse to revive interest in a storyline that lots of people were finished with. As all comic book universes always do

        That's the brand management part!

        Which is kind of meta, considering how Disney is managing the trademark on the “Loki” name.

        Universe is, by definition, all inclusive, infinite and eternal. Multiverse is most definitely a marketing scam.

        The primary reason I stopped reading superhero comics was b/c of disruptive, multi-title spanning, universe restructuring gimmicks. "Crisis" this and "War" that. Characters couldn't die, finality didn't exist, so by definition, the stories didn't matter.

        I gave them up around 2008-2009, but thinking about it, I distinctly remember the resurrection of Jason Todd as Red Hood around 2005-2006 (which was part of Infinite Crisis) is the thing that finally put the thought in my head that maybe I needed to move on.
