When multiverse became a big thing in MCU universe it became clear that it was the vehicle for Marvel/Disney to just stop caring about making fun and relevant fantasy movies. They just expect the cash to flow executing half-baked ideas with slopy writing and boooring intermissions.

Hiddleston and Majors try their best to lift the script and the atmosphere, but its a hollow plot from the start and the whole invention of the Multiverse and multiple Timelines is there to justify absurdity and laughable plot twists. They threw a Dr Who remix of Loki but failed to make solid character out of it.

The end of season 2 is just an insult to viewers that went through all this torture of back and forth.
