The premiere of Loki Season 2 immediately answered a lot of questions but also had viewers finding more interesting enigmas. For instance, what's up with the intimate conversation between Ravonna Renslayer and He Who Remains? Not surprisingly, the little revelation has led to speculations about Judge Renslayer's role in the future of the Marvel Cinematic Universe!
Loki Season 2 is already building Kang the Conqueror as a formidable antagonist, and the first episode hints at a mysterious history between the villain and Ravonna Renslayer, revealed through an audio recording. While details remain scarce, a fan theory proposes a possible explanation for Kang's obsession with conquering the multiverse, and it revolves around Renslayer.
In the Loki Season 1 finale, viewers encountered He Who Remains, a variant of Kang the Conqueror tasked with safeguarding the Sacred Timeline. Kang, who first appeared in Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, has ambitious plans that endanger countless worlds across the multiverse.
But why try to conquer the multiverse in the first place? One Reddit theory suggests Kang's motivations could be narrowed down to a single individual: Judge Renslayer.
"It's not about control of the multiverse, it's about her," the Redditor wrote. "The her being Renslayer, the woman who existed and fell in love with Kang in one version of reality, the one version that Kang had to preserve at all costs, the one worth wiping out universe after universe to keep."
The theory suggests that Kang's actions may be driven by a personal connection or vendetta involving Renslayer, providing a possible explanation for his relentless pursuit of multiversal conquest. Interestingly, it also explains that He Who Remains had erased Renslayer's memories after she realized his grand plan and created the TVA to keep her preoccupied (and close).
It's certainly a fascinating thought but also a bit improbable. Nevertheless, it proves that viewers believe there is a major connection between Renslayer and Kang the Conqueror. As Loki Season 2 unfolds, fans eagerly anticipate further revelations about Kang's motivations and his complex relationship with Renslayer.
The premiere episode of Loki Season 2 is now streaming on Disney+. For now, the official title for Episode 2 has not yet been announced. However, the series will return on the streaming service on October 12, 2023.
