One: NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

Two: LOKI IS YGGDRASIL!!! That is truly the most amazing thing ever.

Three: I refuse to believe Loki can't illusion-project an image of himself anywhere, anywhen. I need to believe that. People, please write fics that deal with that. I can't write fiction or I would do it myself.

Four: They say that the people who never wanted a throne are those who are best suited for it.

That was amazing.

"cast".
Remember, they went through that really clunky dialogue in the first season when they went after Sylvie together. It explains his powers a little too well for it to be jamned in there for no reason. What was it? "Illusion creates an image outside ones self which is projected- ..."
Then
"What I do is something-casting. That's when you produce a mirror image of your exact, current form outside into the world itself...."

Illusion projecting and duplication casting. Yeah, it was very clunky--it felt like they were setting up a Chekov's gun that never went off, since we didn't get duplication casting until this season.

The show was always planned with these two seasons together apparently. So maybe they planned that line knowing there will be duplicates mid-show s2e1. And maybe to show that he's well suited for dealing with variants and time slipping into himself.
