Yes, prepare for SPOILERS.<\/em><\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<p>Part of you must feel sorry for the Time Variance Authority. So much of their time is consumed by Loki variants. These rascally pests are constantly splitting from the one-true timeline, causing mischief, attempting to forge their own jagged path when only a singular street is meant to be. The Lokis are cockroaches forever in need of squishing, and now the TVA has two huge annoyances that require more than a boot or the usual garden-variety pruning stick. The TVA can\u2019t even be h<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>y about the overtime they\u2019re pulling because they\u2019re never over \u2014 they\u2019re always on.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Loki<\/em><\/strong> Episode 3 (\u201cLamentis\u201d) opens with the TVA in a scramble. Last week, the Lady Loki variant\u00a0(<strong>Sophia Di Martino<\/strong>) ignited countless Nexus events across time, causing the Minutemen to flee their offices to parts unknown. While they\u2019re racing to prevent a multiverse from springing, our Loki (<strong>Tom Hiddleston<\/strong>) follows his copy through a portal and back to the bureaucratic agency that evaporated his fine Asgardian leather. She wants into the golden elevators that will grant her a face-to-face with the Time-Keepers, and he wants\u2026 Well, he wants what she wants. Or, at least, he thinks so.<\/p>\n<p>Golden elevators, however, are harder to access than they are to look at. Judge Renslayer (<strong>Gugu Mbatha<\/strong>\u2013<strong>Raw<\/strong>) puts herself between the invaders and her bosses. In the scuffle, the Lokis portal to an apocalypse where the TVA can\u2019t trace their pesky variant signature. Unfortunately, their TemPad is low on juice, and they find themselves stuck on Lementis-1 in the year 2077. As the planet above them shatters into a million meteors, the two Lokis drag themselves across the moon, hoping to secure passage on the one rocket that can free them from this doomed surface.<\/p>\n<p>As they bob and weave certain doom, the Lokis converse and bicker. Our Loki needles the other by slamming the word \u201cvariant\u201d on her person, and she rejects his careless terminology. He scoffs and proclaims that he will never call \u201csome faded photocopy\u201d a Loki. And she\u2019s cool with that because she no longer goes by that name. She\u2019s \u201c<strong>Sylvie<\/strong>.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Who_is_Sylvie\"><\/span>Who is Sylvie?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The new name revealed in <em>Loki<\/em> Episode 3 is curious. While we are not exactly sure at which point in the one-true timeline Sylvie broke away, it\u2019s clear that it happened a long time ago for her. She tells Loki that she barely remembers her mother. This could be a lie. Gods of mischief tend to do that. But, if it is a lie, she sells it well.<\/p>\n<p>Loki regales her with a tale about how dear departed mom would magically cast fireworks over a lake. Both exude sadness in the telling. He laments the death that\u2019s yet to come, and she laments the memory that currently resembles little more than blips of a dream.<\/p>\n<p>Sylvie\u2019s history is not Loki\u2019s history. When she tore loose from the timeline, her parents revealed her Frost Giant origins to her freely. Sylvie didn\u2019t need to wage war with Odin to get the truth. Her hurt is not his hurt. But there is definitely a hurt present.<\/p>\n<p>Her mission to steal facetime with the Time-Keepers appears to be similar to Loki\u2019s desire for an audience. He wants to tap into whatever makes Infinity Stones look like trinkets. For a person who has craved power and import his whole life, the Time-Keepers currently represent unlimited potential. If he could get what they have, he\u2019d be unstoppable.<\/p>\n<p>But that\u2019s old Loki thinking. To infer that Sylvie craves what the Time-Keepers have for the same reasons as Loki is a miscalculation. She has been at this <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/game\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"7\" title=\"Game\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">game<\/a> for far longer, and she is more aware of what\u2019s going on behind TVA doors. She knows that agents like Mobius (<strong>Owen Wilson<\/strong>) were not born for this purpose but were shackled to their desks as some form of punishment. For they are variants, too.<\/p>\n<p>Sylvie can forge her way into people\u2019s minds. She\u2019s an enchantress. Where Loki can cast illusions, Sylvie can wrap your brain in a spell. Under this delusion, her victims do and say what they don\u2019t want to do or say. And this ability, and her name, suggest a dark origin within Marvel Comics.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Who_is_the_Loki_Enchantress\"><\/span>Who is the Loki Enchantress?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Sylvie\u2019s comic book counterpart is not a Loki variant, as she still seems to be in <em>Loki<\/em> Episode 3, but a magical Loki fabrication. As explained in the <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/marvel.fandom.com\/wiki\/Dark_Reign:_Young_Avengers_Vol_1_1\"><em>Dark Reign<\/em>: <em>Young Avengers<\/em> <\/a>series, Loki relished the idea of creating a mortal who believed they were Asgardian. His Sylvie possessed superhuman strength, speed, and longevity. She could also forge illusions and manipulate, or enchant, feeble minds.<\/p>\n<p>Given her abilities, Loki\u2019s creation adopted the <strong>Enchantress<\/strong> name. The original Enchantress, named Amora, is an Asgardian sorceress dating back to the earliest <em>Thor<\/em> comics (her first appearance was in <em>Journey Into Mystery<\/em> #103, published in 1964). Like Loki, Enchantress is a constant thorn in Odinson\u2019s side, and <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/marvel.fandom.com\/wiki\/War_of_the_Realms\">she most recently<\/a>, on the page, attempted dominance over Midgard alongside Malekith, the <em>Thor<\/em>: <em>The Dark World<\/em> baddie.<\/p>\n<p>Enchantress is a staple in the Asgardian rogue\u2019s gallery. Since the Marvel Cinematic Universe kicked off, many have waited for her to arrive on the scene. Several fans even <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.heroicgirls.com\/cate-blanchett-confirmed-for-thor-ragnorak\/\">imagined Cate Blanchett<\/a> would be playing a version of Enchantress in <em>Thor<\/em>: <em>Ragnarok<\/em> before the actress\u2019 role was revealed to be Hela.<\/p>\n<p>The comics are stacked on decades of complicated, convoluted continuity. What the MCU has always done is snip and clip from them. Their Flag-Smashers are not the comic book Flag-Smasher. Their Zemo is not the comic book Baron Zemo. And their Enchantress, in <em>Loki<\/em>, is absolutely not the comic book Enchantress \u2014 or Enchantress<em>es<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>The <em>Loki<\/em>\u00a0variant concept allows for some radical alterations. The TVA and the Time-Keepers are fairly self-contained within a few Marvel comic book stories. As filtered through the MCU, they can smash against anything and anyone within the franchise. Through Nexus events, writers and directors can bend the comic book characters into something new and something more fitting to their thematic wants.<\/p>\n<p>And the Disney+\u00a0Sylvie is still a creation of Loki. Just not in the same way she was in the comics.\u00a0She extends from him, but she\u2019s also shed him.<\/p>\n<p>The Enchantress is a vibe. She\u2019s a rejection of authority and what should and should not be. For all Loki\u2019s talk of \u201cglorious purpose,\u201d what he\u2019s discovering in this show is that he actually lacks it. Sylvie does not. We can\u2019t quite assume to know everything she\u2019s chasing, but Sylvie appears far more goal-oriented.<\/p>\n<p>Sylvie has been dodging Minutemen for far longer than Loki has. Years? Decades? Centuries? Loki and we, the audience, have a lot to learn from her. We can only hope she can stand to stare at his gob long enough to let more details slip.<\/p>\n<p><em>Loki<\/em> Episode 3 presents a possible partnership, not a rivalry. And that begs the question: who is the villain here? The TVA? Judge Renslayer? The Time-Keepers? Kang the Conqueror?<\/p>\n<p>With every new glance of that middle Time-Keeper statue in Renslayer\u2019s office, it looks more and more like <strong>Jonathan Majors<\/strong>, the man who will be Kang in <em>Ant-Man and the Wasp<\/em>: <em>Quantumania<\/em>. I don\u2019t want to start spotting Mephistos in every shadow, but there is certainly something more nefarious at play regarding the one-true timeline and those that guard it. So, when those golden elevators finally reach their floor, it\u2019s a decent bet to contemplate Mr. Majors sitting behind a fine oak desk.\n<\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
