LOKI EPISODE 3 BREAKDOWN! Easter Eggs & Details You Missed!

welcome back to new rockstars i'm eric. voss and this is a breakdown of loki. episode 3. lamentis in which loki and sylvie play a. game of who. is enchanting whom folks there's so much. to break down from huge reveals about. the tva to asgardian and other alien. languages to translate. maybe even huge portions of this episode. that might be one of our variants. trapping the other in an illusion. so let's loose the juice from our tin. pad and drop in. the episode opens in an illusion that. the loki variant. sylvie placed tva hunter c20 under.

during the events of episode 2. so. opening this episode in an illusion. instructs us as viewers to watch this. episode very carefully. because notice how over the marvel. studios title leading into this we hear. this music there's something in the. water. this is called demons by haley kyoko. which is fitting for the way sylvia and. loki are called devils this episode. you're no travelers you're devils and. the way sylvie has been compared to a. demon in stained glass. and the lyrics of this song refer to. having demons in one's head and say.

there's something in the water. all reflecting how sylvie is nc20s head. using a reconstructed memory of fruity. drinks to. intoxicate c20 into revealing tva. secrets. later this episode sylvie reveals that. this particular memory from c20 was from. hundreds of years prior from c20s past. as a human. on earth before she became a variant. confirming the theory that i. shared in last week's miss minutes video. that all tva employees are variants with. memories wiped and forced into servitude.

by the time keepers which poses. all kinds of implications like perhaps. mobius was a jet ski salesman in his. past life. maybe from san diego judging from that. snow globe in. rensselaer's office that mobius didn't. remember getting that could have been. his precious relic that was kept in. evidence also maybe rensslayer could. have been a teacher or a principal at. frankly roosevelt high school that that. pen was from but this also explains why. c20 was so panicked repeating it was. real it was real. after coming out of her enchantment. showing that her visions of her past.

life weren't just fantastical dreams but. subconscious memories of. real events remember b15 also looks. shaken. i suspect she too could have been linked. with her past life now the opening shot. of the episode is this tropical themed. mug of a head half drain reflecting the. way c20s mind is being drained by sylvie. in this moment they discuss. brain freezes but only c20 gets one. maybe silvia doesn't get one because. loki variants are technically frost. giants they're not affected by cold but. check out that patron in the background. on the right looks a bit like pietro.

maximoff i mean i only mentioned it. because silvi's enchantment works. similar to wanda's hex reality. which also featured an alternate reality. pietro in it there's actually a lot of. parallels like later when sylvie screams. in frustration her green sorcery blasts. out like a shockwave. similar to how wanda's agonized scream. created a shockwave just could be a sign. that variant loki's could be potential. nexus beings with capabilities of. setting the terms of a single reality. similar to how wanda can do that. and if you think about it wanted to. create the westview hex.

out of grief over vision's absence and. what does loki say to sophie here. you lack vision black vision but the. illusions also work the same way because. notice that moment c20 suspects. something is off about the reality. sylvie switches it. jumping ahead suddenly to night time. similar to how whenever a glitch in the. matrix happened in west view wanda would. suddenly edit past it and progress. forward in time in that case a sitcom. decade forward also sylvie grabs. c20's wrist to get her to refocus on her. after the switch showing how physical.

contact is needed to form that neural. link for the enchantment now the music. has changed to deep blue by ladytron. with lyrics foreshadowing the whole. journey ahead for sylvia on lumantus1. seeking a power station on a train out. of town. hey by the way included in our loki. inspired merch is our latest augmented. reality shirt which when viewed through. an ar. app the god of mischief comes alive. folks who've already gotten it have sent. us some awesome videos. really grabbing merch like this is the. best way you can support new rockstars. so head on over to newrockstarsmerch.com.

and when you get that loki out of time. shirt you get an option to write in a. custom shout out in our inside marvel. after show. sylvie infiltrates the tva passing this. poster that reads the timeline is only. as strong as. its weakest moment with his agent all. tangled up in the timeline. ironic considering this is exactly what. sylvia has just done to the dba. but notice that tva cops scream soviet. erases him. his whale is digitally filtered actually. similar to the sound of neo scream that. moment he got him plugged in matrix.

[Music]. and that may be what sylvia is doing. here unplugging these mine slaves and. restoring them to their natural states. which might be why it seems to bring her. so much satisfaction to do it loki. snatches silvie's tin pad and depletes. its juice. leaving them marooned on lamentis 1 in. the year 2077. as another planet is about to collide. with it melancholia style. actually kind of like the way thanos. grabbed a moon and threw it at titan but. lumens is actually in the comics it's an. outworld planet on the edge of cree.

space it's from the annihilation. prologue issue which features the. destruction of. xandar now 2077 would be about six. decades. after xandar's off-screen destruction by. thanos prior to infinity war. so perhaps we're now seeing the. aftermath of the nova corps inability to. protect xandar's colonies here lementus. 1. is a mining colony i think based on. lv426 and aliens which we know was a. reference for this episode based on the. guards being named private hudson and. corporal hicks which are bill paxton and.

michael bean's characters and aliens. sylvia tries to enchant loki but her. magic flickers out on his head though. the way it did with the tba. what are you doing what are you doing. yeah sylvie's reaction makes me think. loki in this moment might have tried to. rebound the spell and enchant her. from this moment on it's not really. clear if either have been enchanted but. it is weird that the meteor shower. outside subsides after this despite this. oncoming planet coming closer. on the walk they bicker don't call me. variant i'm sorry but i'm not calling. some. faded photocopy of me loki good cause.

that's not who i am anymore. i'm silvie now oh you changed your name. brilliant it's called an alias this. confirms that sylvie did begin a loki. variant but due to loki's sex fluidity. just takes a female form but the name. sylvie was an alias that she chose so. despite using the term enchant a lot. she's not. exactly sylvie lushen enchantress from. the comics but really a new character. inspired by both lady loki and. enchantress and they enter this town. that is covered with alien lettering.

which from what i can tell matches. neither the scroll language written on. rocket scanner and guardians of the. galaxy nor the established mcu cree. alphabet. making me wonder if this could be. zandarian but we don't really have a way. to translate but. that won't stop me folks so look at the. structure that sylvie walks up to trying. to trick loki and handing over the temp. pad to charge it that top word has six. characters and using the substitution. decoding process i use for the riddler. cipher and the batman trailer you always. start by looking for repeating symbols. and some do repeat the second and the. fourth are the same letter and the third. and the fifth are another letter.

so we're looking at a sequence of one. two three two three four so then you. gotta do some guesswork based on really. whatever the most commonly used letters. tend to be. in combinations with each other i'm. wondering if those could be r-e-r-e. and the word could be pre-wreck for. pre-requirements. and all those names in red on the side. being the names of colonists given. priority status for evacuation which is. why this building would be the one. building left in town with the lights on. this this is. what i do with my time so sylvie kicks. open the door to the trailer only to be. blasted with.

a gun. which looks a lot like a recreation of. that moment that bride tried to get the. drop on bud and kill bill volume 2. inside loki notices the woman's framed. photo with her husband. kind of looks like a nod to grant wood's. american gothic but common misconception. that does not depict a married couple. but a farmer and his daughter. kind of similar to how loki and hela are. step siblings in the mcu but in norse. mythology hella is loki's daughter.

so at the train station is a line of. angry colonists trying to evacuate. including some kids and you know that. means camera lends eye contact. [Music]. but further back in the line there are. these two guys that appear to be twins. which could be another interesting. matrix parallel because in that woman. the red dress scene the wachowskis. populated the extras that bumped into. neo. with twins twins really as a way to. evoke this dreamlike simulation this. could be another possible clue that this. maybe loki or sylvie having enchanted.

the other. in an illusion but real quick i want to. do a loki and change my shirt. but before continuing thanks to display. for sponsoring this video. display makes high quality art prints on. metal they have. over a million great artist designs. including many from the worlds of gaming. anime and comics they have a new. collection of licensed loki posters. including versions of the tva posters. we've seen in the background in the. first few episodes. check out some of my favorite displays. using the link in the description you'll. also get a sweet discount. buy one or two disc plates and get 27. off that goes up to 37.

backwards facing the mark. cyto who was actually trapped in their. false reality i mean i just find it. interesting that they called attention. to the seating like this. and after some indeterminate amount of. time sylvie wakes up. confused now facing the opposite. direction in the frame. and this was after loki had asked her. earlier how long do we have. 12 hours or so and now sylvie refers to. her memory as. just blips of a dream at this point now. sylvie learned earlier than loki did in. her timeline that she was adopted and.

had to teach herself magic making me. think that her mother figure from her. timeline might not have been frigga. on one event report that loki read in. episode 2 the name. sylvie lauffy daughter appeared the. surname being instead of lauthy's son. son of laufey. daughter of laufey so i wonder if. perhaps sylvie's maternal figure could. have been. hella who in her timeline might have. accompanied odin in that battle against. the frost giants in which lauffy's. offspring was taken as a ward. and that hela could have left an. impression on sylvie maybe even given. her that sword before hella was banished.

by odin sylvie also reveals having a. lover. managed to maintain quite a serious. long-distance relationship with a. postman. whilst running across time from one. apocalypse to another she could be. referring to stan lee who did appear as. a fedex delivery driver in civil war and. then bragged about that to the watchers. in guardians vol 2. by the way he also cameoed in the 2005. fantastic four film as a mailman. some are also saying it could be that. delivery driver in west view but postman. reminds me of the song nick fury used to. inspire the name captain marvel.

marvel sounds a lot better you know like. the marvel apps. wait oh yes wait a minute mr postman. fury would be an interesting pairing for. sylvie but why not the person who end up. taking that name. carol danvers because loki reveals. himself as bisexual. a bit of both i suspect the same as you. and sophie doesn't really argue with. that and carol would have been a. super-powered galaxy hopper whose. whereabouts were unknown from 1995 to. 2018.

so silly wakes up to find loki's singing. now according to the captions this is an. asgardian making this the first time. we've heard. asgardian as a language in the mcu. though it's really norwegian. his lyrics translate to in stormy black. mountains i wander alone. over the iceberg i pull myself forth in. the apple garden stands the maiden fair. and i sing when will you come home loki. drunk calls back thor's move in the. first thor film. another and he tells sylvia that he's. not drunk just.

full which is another in joke because a. norwegian to be full means to be drunk. loki gives an answer for their chat. about what love is love. is a dagger but ultimately when you. reach for it. it isn't real they're calling the famous. soliloquy in shakespeare's macbeth when. macbeth hallucinates an imaginary dagger. perhaps here. the dagger is a symbol of loki's. betrayal of sylvie with everything. they're going through. being a kind of dagger of loki's.

enchantment now during the brawl notice. how silvia uses her crown as a weapon. this is a move that loki did in thor. ragnarok and as silvi pulls her sword. out of the bar you can barely make out. some writing on it they look like viking. runes similar to the ones that are. carved into mjolnir and stormbreaker. in this case they're kind of hard to. translate but to me it looks like. t th. and then h s u and then maybe. s u p n i don't know there's like a. dozen different norse rune alphabets out. there and i haven't been able to line up.

any of these perfectly i like how when. loki hits the ground. outside the train he makes the same. plank pose that he did when hitting the. sanctum floor after falling for 30. minutes in ragnarok and then he reveals. the temp pad but it is broken. though again perhaps what we are looking. at here is just part of an illusion by. loki to manipulate sylvie. into revealing exactly how her. enchantment works. because only now does sylvie finally. reveal that she mind controls by. reconstructing memories. and she also reveals to loki that the. tba are actually memory-wiped variants. which are big things that loki has. gained through this experience which.

then leads to this seemingly. impossible long take through the. collapsing city of sheru now at first. glance this awesome looking sequence. appears to be. a three minute unbroken long take but. like many long takes a movie and film it. is actually. several shots stitched together with. hidden cuts if you look closely. shot one loki and sylvia entered through. the tunnel loki steps on a barrier to. see the gates closing and then the. camera pants as. two runners pass the frame cut on the. pan there. and shot two following the two of them. down the alley camera orbits them a few.

times and then crane up on a vfx shot of. that colliding planet cracking in half. and then a meteor striking a nearby. building. flashing the frame cut there now onto. shot three of them as they duck from. debris and run towards an explosion that. blows. them back tilting the camera and filling. the frame with smoke cut there. to shock four where the camera tilts. back up with loki's rise. and then they run into that cafe and. they confront some guards i think there. were some cuts hidden in there on the. stunts but. definitely a cut when the camera passes. a beam onto shot five. as they run and have their way cut off.

and they take cover they follow another. running woman back to that same building. that collapses crane up on a vfx shot of. that collapse. cut there to shot six where they run and. loki freezes that tower from crushing. them reverses it back. up and then right after as loki runs. right with the whip pan there's a really. hard to spot cut there. notice loki's body from two different. shots are layered on top of each other. barely overlapping leading to shot seven. where loki and sylvie fight off the last. of the guards at the gate only to see. the ark get destroyed by meteors.

as loki's charm foreshadowed we got some. fireworks now notice that in their last. moves loki and sylvie do these same leg. sweeps on the guards mirror images of. each other some are saying that loki. might have used a stolen time stone to. stop and reverse that tower collapse but. after loki used telekinesis to summon. that roomba i later realized that we've. also seen loki use telekinesis to throw. over all the furniture in that prison. cell in the dark world so this is. something that he can do. also that time stone only would have. worked if lamentus won in 2077. is that exact prune timeline that that.

time stone was taken from and since. silvia created the whole bunch of. branches with her bombing i just think. it would be really hard for loki to. think ahead so perfectly also i'm pretty. sure we heard that time stone clunk back. in the drawer. really if loki had a functional time. stone here he would have used it in. dozens of ways. but i still believe it is possible that. for all of these events on lamentist one. or at least part of sylvie after waking. up the train at some point. could be part of loki's enchantment on. her. designed to gain sylvie's trust to learn.

what he needed about the tva. so that he can turn her in and get back. in their good graces. whether or not that's the case not being. quite sure if we're under loki's. enchantment at any given moment is what. makes the show so enchanting and the. credit sequence has been updated with. photos of loki and sylvie together. evoking how loki called her a poor. photocopy of him. here both are black and white. photocopies all while bonnie guitar's. dark. moon plays with the lyrics paralleling. the way loki in silly's scheme. was cut off by a dark moon or.

it was a planet it looked like a moon. but they called it the planet anyway. support this channel by checking out our. new loki inspired merch options. especially that loki out of time shirt. at new rockstarsmerch.com. follow me on instagram and twitter at. eavos follow and subscribe to new. rockstars thank you for watching bye.
