‘Loki‘ Season 2 ended with The God of Mischief’s ultimate sacrifice that earned him a new title – God of Stories. He destroyed the Time Loom and used his time-slipping abilities to revive the dying branches and reignite an infinite Multiverse.
But the end left him with nothing but loneliness and separation from his friends. But recently, the director of the latest season revealed the alternate ending for the finale episode, and it is also shocking.

‘Loki’ Season Two Alternate Finale Ending Explained
In the recently released ‘Assembled: The Making of Loki Season 2‘, Aaron Moorhead, the director revealed the alternate ending of the finale. The alternate draft was where Loki did not destroy the Time Loom instead, saved it from imploding and then ascended the throne. Moorhead said, “We all knew something was up, we just didn’t know what. Cause it was like, well he’s trying to save the Loom, he gets the throne, all of this.”
But the team felt it was the right choice for Loki to actually destroy the Time Loom so that his character arc is complete. The director further explained, “But the problem was, is that he didn’t have the sacrifice and we realized, why doesn’t he destroy the Loom and then have to take over the Loom’s massive responsibility? He doesn’t get anything out of it. It seems so obvious now, it seems like exactly the right choice. But that was a watershed moment in the development of it, when we realized Loki needs to destroy and become the Loom.”
