So could Thor have done this instead? Or anyone from Asgard as they are called Gods? And can all of them time travel just by thinking it? Also how did Thanos simply strangle Loki to death if he is a God, the same way Hulk could have beaten him to death easily? What IS Loki exactly? I had rather enjoyed them going to the 10,000ft view of no one really being much of anything in the grand scheme of reality, but then they pivoted to nothing making sense unless you simply say "Oh Loki has magic powers."

Everytime she killed him he was completely smug, saying see you soon or whatever it was. He definitely was not actually dying in that scenario, it was part of his overall plan. Which in the end didnt make that much sense. In fact in hindsight it seems like he could have just been messing with Loki for some reason we dont know yet and in fact there is another later of reality above the loom where HWR is messing about.

I dont think Sylvie killed him nor that he is gone, there is nothing that happens which would prevent him from still being out there in untold number or forms. I think they made reference to that actually?

I liked this as the finale to Loki's character but found it very weak in terms of resolving the parameters it had ostensibly set up. Namely at the end of the day most of what happened was meaningless and they went to the tired ass "Nordic God" trope as the savior of everything. Blech. The show was pure sci-fi and just face-planted into Fantasy to resolve the story. Very weak as there was zero attempt to explain why Loki was impervious in all the situations that annihilated everything else. Why he could just flit in and out of timelines at will, get infinite number of re-dos. None of that made any sense. Again the premise of the show was that any individual in the MCU you could think of was really just a dust mote in the scale of all Time and Realties...oh but then really the Asgardieans are Gods above it all. BORING. And contradictory to the previous canon about Thor et al who are really just powerful beings with 5,000 lifespans (or whatever). Gods to humans but certainly not to all the lifeforms out there. Again though, as a finish to Loki's story I get it and think it was done just fine. Loved the cast and this season had fantastic scenes just in terms of the acting- real rarity in MCU and I definitely appreciate that.

Oh I get that. However Loki told him his boys would never know he was gone. That isnt how it works. His boys would be searching for him and wondering what happened to their Dad. Police would end up involved, people would say he just up and left them. That's what their reality would become, their string of spaghetti would be one where their Dad disappeared. And the only way to get back to that reality would be Morbius turning back up once he was done saving all of time and reality. Point being, time and reality dont stop because you step into the TARDIS or thru Loki's little door, time keeps moving forward for the people you know- just without you there.

So is Loki Dr.Who now but with no need of a TARDIS? I feel like I missed any explanation of why he gets to jet around thru time and timelines while everyone else gets spaghetti'd. It may have been too much for a jet ski salesman to realize, but by leaving with Loki he was in fact leaving his boys. In his reality, he disappeared and his boys were abandoned. Just because Loki could drop him back at the point before he left doesnt mean he didnt leave nor that his boys didnt suddenly lose their father.

What mistake did he make in Ben Kenobi? Iirc correctly Obi Wan just got so angry as to overwhelm Vader, which is very Anakin. Also note how Dooku was so powerful as to ragdoll Obi-Wan with ease. That is the type of force Anakin has 10x over according to Clone Wars. Basically I'm just pointing out the inconsistency with how they portrayed Anakin in CW vs live action. And I was thinking about that because they're on the planet where it was discovered Anakin was the strongest force user ever- and Ahsoka died.

Well, it's going to turn out that whatever that cargo is will play a pivotal role in the balance of power. Considering she was the worst Jedi student in 400yrs and wasnt able to move a coffee cup with the Force in prior episodes- I think a Jedi without strong force powers is exactly what she's supposed to be. Or a Mando with strong force powers relative to having none like rest of Mandos.

I thought it was kinda chincy that she and Ahsoka were so contented with each other and the situation at the end, would have preferred something more like "Sabine I should cut you in half for what you've done, so how the hell are you going to fix it?" Because the way they left it, as far as Ahsoka and Sabine know, Thrawn is at least halfway to winning while they are stranded with hermit crab creatures on far side of the galaxy. There really was no reason for their chumminess at the end.

Sure but in each encounter including the last one, Dooku was able to brush Kenobi off like he was nothing iirc. Basically I dont see a reason that Kenobi should have always been able to defeat Anakin/Darth in battle.

That never made all that much sense to me. Dooku handled Kenobi a few times pretty easily but then Anakin was able to kill him without being pressed too hard. Plus according to Clone Wars apparently Anakin might be the most powerful Force user....ever, basically. He bested the brother and sister at the same time, I dont think there has been any example of a stronger use of the Force than that at any point during the movies or series (that I have seen anyway).

I think the idea is that majority of people have too little or none of the biological component in their blood. So for most, you could train for years not be able to do anything with the Force. Meanwhile if you have a lot of it in you, you could go your whole life without ever harnessing it other than wondering why you're so good at trick shots and exceedingly lucky. Then you have the Yoda/Grogu types who have so much of the stuff in their blood they dont even need training to move things with their minds. At any rate, the Jedi academy teaches people with enough stuff in their blood how to channel it into Force use. Given the droid said that Sabine was the worst student he'd seen in 400yrs, one would assume she barely has enough juice in her blood to qualify for Jedi training- but enough to come through at the last minute apparently. The Palpatine charade as well as Order66 has always been so absurd as to require total suspension of disbelief...

The problem is they didnt really do Sabine's story either. If you've not seen rebels then Sabine came off as almost traitorous when she made deal with Baylin. And at the least just awful for putting her desire to possibly see Ezra again (he may have been dead for all she knew) ahead of...the entire galaxy. The show did young Ahsoka...should have done young Sabine as well to fill out the character so viewers could relate with her actions.

In the originals it was definitely very mystical but George Lucas chose to make it biological and I was just looking at how that aspect fits in. Grogu could use the force as a toddler with zero training and probably no understanding of what the Force even was. Meanwhile Sabine had trained for years but was the worst student DrWho had seen in 400yrs and couldnt even move a coffee mug. At any rate for me it was a little too cute, Sabine unable to do anything with her life and Ahsoka's on the line, then suddenly she throws Ezra across that gap.

Isnt it based on the amount of whatever in your blood? I would think once you see yourself move anything with your mind, that would engender the belief you could do all of it. The difference between say Grogu and Sabine is that the former has extreme levels of that force stuff in his blood whereas Sabine (apparently) has relatively little.
