This is the classic fascist dilemma. “Don’t overthrow the dictator because someone worse may rise up in their place” is an age old problem. Essentially what you’re saying is that you think dictators are right to control everyone and everything, in exchange for safety.

This is the problem that the show is laying out for us. What’s more important, freedom and free will, or losing that freedom for a false sense of safety under a dictatorship?

The dialogue throughout the season lays this out more than once…

Fans that are claiming 2012 Loki wouldn’t kill Kang are right, because Loki *didn’t* kill Kang. Sylvie did. Loki is taking in the feeling of responsibility for what Sylvie did because in his mind maybe he thinks he could have stopped her. While Loki has grown throughout the series, he is still Loki.

Love changes people. It’s okay that Sylvie is a partner in his emotional growth. That’s normal and HUMAN. Thor didn’t grow alone, Tony didn’t grow alone, not even Steve grew alone (remember Natasha? Sam? Bucky? They were all his partners in his emotional growth.)

From the most recent Empire interview:

Sylvie searching for Loki.

I’ve seen a lot of posts on my dash tonight about users who are threatening suicide, with other Tumblr members posting in effort to try to get ahold of them. I think you all should see this:

IF THERE IS EVER A TUMBLR USER WHO HAS POSTED A GOOD-BYE MESSAGE, SUICIDE NOTE, VIDEO, OR ANYTHING OF THE SORT, PLEASE FOLLOW THIS POST.

1. Scroll to the top of your dashboard.

2. See the circular question mark icon at the top? It’s the third one over from your home symbol. Click on that, and a screen similar to the one in the picture will come up.

3. Where you can type in questions, the box with the magnifying glass at the top, type in the word “suicide.”

4. Click on the first link that shows up. It should say, “Pass the URL of the blog on to us.”

5. Type in the user’s URL and tell Tumblr admin that the user is contemplating suicide and has posted a message indicating that they are going through with it or will be attempting. Hit send! Tumblr administration will perform a number of actions to contact the user and take the necessary steps to prevent the suicide.

TUMBLR: THIS COULD SAVE A USER’S LIFE. PLEASE DO NOT IGNORE SUICIDE THREATS.

help.
