Her husband was never as sweet, she shouts at Loki. He first talks her down and then transforms into her late husband - having seen a photo of them through the window - but the woman blows him off too. Sylvie opts for a more confrontational entrance which doesn't work for her as the woman inside (Susan Gallagher) blows her away with a sonic weapon. Loki and Sylvie arrive at a hut of sorts that might give them the power to recharge the TemPad. But enchantment being her primary power does mean Sylvie could end up being called the Enchantress, as in the comics. She also seems to have a very different background on Loki, though to be fair, Loki episode 3 tells us very little. But Sylvie was never a Loki variant in the comics. Loki is not a name she identifies with anymore - that means it's her given name anyway - and has since adopted the alias “Sylvie”, a name that has ties to the Loki mythology in the Marvel comics. Sylvie wants to kill Loki for stranding them, but he calms her down and proposes a truce.Īs they make their way to a nearby mining town on Lamentis-1, Loki wonders why she doesn't like being called Loki or Variant. That makes sense, for all the places that Sylvie frequented were apocalypses, allowing her to hide herself from the TVA. A nearby planet is about to crash into it and will kill all life on Lamentis-1. Meanwhile, they are stuck on this new purple-hued moon, which Loki episode 3 reveals to be Lamentis-1 in 2077. Loki takes it off her hands and hides it by using his magic, only for Sylvie to point out that he needs her to know how to recharge it. She can't use it anymore until it's recharged. Sylvie is annoyed and immediately tries to jump back using the TemPad but discovers that it's out of juice. In Loki, Marvel's Favourite Villain Does Workplace Comedy by Way of David Fincher Their knife fight is interrupted by Ravonna Renslayer (Gugu Mbatha-Raw) before Loki saves them by teleporting away. He grabs his knives from the locker nearby and then confronts Sylvie. Loki, who followed Sylvie through the time door in Loki episode 2, also arrives in TVA. She then evaporates or knocks them out with their own weapons. As Sylvie makes her way, she gets the jump on a TVA Hunter before realising her magic doesn't work here. That explains the major distraction she caused in Loki episode 2, which has taken away most of the TVA guards from their homebase. Loki episode 3 then jumps to right where we left off with the Loki episode 2 cliffhanger, as Sylvie arrives in the Time Variance Authority to carry out her plan: kill the Time Keepers. Loki episode 3 then reveals that Sylvie has “enchanted” C-20 and all this is happening inside her mind, sort of like on the astral plane, in Marvel terms. The sly Sylvie has questions for her though - how many people are guarding the Time Keepers, and how do I find the elevators (they are gold) - which puts C-20 off and makes her realise that she doesn't actually know Sylvie. We see Sylvie and Hunter C-20 (Sasha Lane) in comfortable Hawaiian clothes at a bar somewhere, chatting as if they have been friends for years. Ali - opens by telling us about Sylvie's plans that Loki was so interested in, back in Loki episode 2. But how will they get off Lamentis-1 now that the time-and-space travelling device TempPad is broken and the Ark spaceship has been destroyed?īefore all that, Loki episode 3 - titled “Lamentis”, directed by Kate Herron, and written by Ms. Sure, in big picture terms, Loki and Sylvie will be okay. And then there's the setup of Loki episode 3 - Loki (Tom Hiddleston) and Sylvie (Sophia Di Martino) trying to escape a desperate situation - that can be repeated ad infinitum should Loki end up being an ongoing series.Īll this has been enabled by Loki's gimmick of Sylvie using apocalyptic events to conceal her actions, which also results in a cliffhanger of sorts at the end of Loki episode 3 - it's also quite short at 36 minutes that you may not have realised in all the hullaballoo until it abruptly ends. There's also the matter of the guards we see checking tickets to the evacuation vessel on Lamentis-1, who are essentially Marvel's version of Stormtroopers. Some of that was down to the visuals, with the vast empty (albeit purple-hued) Lamentis-1, the deserted mining town and acres of loose gravel, akin to the landscapes that we regularly see on the Star Wars series that harkens close to the franchise's Western roots. Loki episode 3 - out now on Disney+ and Disney+ Hotstar - felt very much like an instalment of The Mandalorian.
