Loki Season 2 has breathed fresh life into Marvel Studios after a declining trend with recent subpar projects. This season, in particular, delivers some edge-of-the-seat moments, leaving audiences with killer cliffhangers. The ending of the recently released Episode 4 has fans wondering whether their favorite God of Mischief is still alive.
At the end of the last season, Sylvie disrupted the sacred timeline, casting Loki into an unknown TVA universe. Season 2 explores Loki’s adventures with the new TVA gang as he sets out on a quest to repair the Temporal Loom that holds together the sacred timeline.
Loki Season 2 Episode 4 Ending Shocks Fans (Spoiler Alert)
Episode 4 follows the TVA gang’s efforts to repair the Temporal Loom. Victor Timely, the Kang variant, developed a Throughput Multiplier which can aid in sustaining the Temporal Loom. But its installation needed someone to risk exposing themselves to the timeline’s radiation. Timely, played by Jonathan Majors, takes on the task himself.
Tragically, the radiation disintegrates him before he can execute the plan. The TVA gang watches in horror as their last hope crumbles and the Temporal Loom explodes. In the final scenes, the explosion nears the group, and a close-up shot reveals Loki’s face, reflecting the fear in his eyes. The room trembles and the scene fades to black.
Fans went crazy over this cliffhanger on social media. While some created memes to express their utter shock, others were still trying to process the events that transpired. Some of the fan reactions included:

While the multiverse leaves room for several possibilities, the most pressing question after the episode 4 cliffhanger is whether Tom Hiddleston’s variant character is dead. As one of the fans rightfully noted, we may not be ready for what the last two Loki episodes have in store.

Is Tom Hiddleston’s Loki Dead?
Nothing can be predicted about the plot’s direction at this point. However, it is safe to say that they did not just kill off Tom Hiddleston. In the remaining two episodes, fans will get to see Loki’s fate after the Temporal Loom explosion. The series is reaching the peak of chaos, and it will only get more intense in the upcoming episodes. Furthermore, the Season 2 trailer provides compelling hints of the God of Mischief being alive.
For instance, several scenes featured in the trailer have yet to appear in the season. These include the one in which Hiddleston’s character seemingly appears at a Piranha Powersports dealership, and another showing him in his TVA prisoner uniform. While these glimpses hint that things don’t get better for Loki, they certainly confirm that the central character is not dead yet.
Sylvie also appears in a scene in the trailer that remains unseen in the first 4 episodes, indicating that she too survives the explosion. What does the explosion of Temporal Loom mean to the multiverse? How does that affect the upcoming Marvel storylines, including Avengers: Secret Wars? Fans will have to wait for the release of Loki Season 2 Episodes 5 and 6 on Disney+ to get some answers.
