Loki Series
Marvel Studios’ “Loki” features Loki, the God of Mischief as he steps out of his brother’s shadow in a new series that takes place after the events of Avengers: Endgame. Tom Hiddleston returns as the title character, joined by Owen Wilson, Gugu Mbatha-Raw, Sophia Di Martino, Wunmi Mosaku, and Richard E. Grant. Kate Herron directs Loki, and Michael Waldron is head writer.
“‘Loki’ is intriguingly different with a bold creative swing,” says Kevin Feige, President, MarvelStudios and Chief Creative Officer, Marvel. “This series breaks new ground for the Marvel Cinematic Universe before it, and lays the groundwork for things to come.”
The starting point of the series is the moment in “Avengers: Endgame” when the 2012 Loki takes the Tesseract—from there Loki lands in the hands of the Time Variance Authority (TVA), which is outside of the timeline, concurrent to the current day Marvel
Cinematic Universe. In his cross-timeline journey, Loki finds himself a fish out of
water as he tries to navigate—and manipulate—his way through the bureaucratic nightmare that is the Time Variance Authority and its by-the-numbers mentality.
Stripped of his self-proclaimed majesty but with his ego still intact, Loki faces consequences he never thought could happen to such a supreme being as himself. In that, there is a lot of humor as he is taken down a few pegs and struggles to find his footing in the unforgiving bureaucracy of the Time Variance Authority.
The series is streaming exclusively on Disney+. Disney+ is the dedicated streaming home for movies and shows from Disney, Pixar, Marvel, Star Wars, and National Geographic, along with The Simpsons and much more.

It doesn’t make sense for some to reach the “end of time” before or after the others.
The final moment being the location of arrival, it would be the madness where things are created (or arrived from other times) and destroyed in a single moment.
Even if the “time’s end” were a mere convention, and time continued, all pruneds should appear at this very moment agreed as the end (the time-space direction locked in the Time Pad) and the adventure should start/continue from there, with no one with prior knowledge (except those brought with you from before pruning) of what happens and how it works .
