Hi guys,
I started Loki last year, watched two episodes, and dropped it. This year I went back, did all of season 1, and finished season 2 this week.

That finale left me with a bunch of questions I didn't have answers for. The branching, the variants, the TVA sitting outside of time. I couldn't place any of it against everything else in the MCU. So I went reading to try and sort it out, like everybody does. Blogs, wikis, timeline posts, the usual rabbit hole.

I found some good stuff. There's a Marvel Story Map on DeviantArt that's basically a dense poster. ScreenRant covered an infographic of the whole multiverse that made the branching click for me. The Ultimate MCU Watch Order on Letterboxd is the one I'd send to someone starting from zero. Lucen has a chart that lays the phases against the actual chronology, and the Fandom timeline has everything if you're willing to dig.

It was all static though, and I wanted to move it around, poke at it, click on things, and I couldn't. That's where the idea came from.

So I built it. geektimelines.com

It's one big canvas you drag and zoom around, with everything on it and lines running between the things that actually connect. Hover over anything and its threads light up while the rest fades back, so you can see at a glance what that story touches. Click it and a panel opens with the context of what it is, plus the full list of what it leads to and what it came from, and every one of those is clickable, so you can keep pulling the thread and the map follows you. You can also flip the whole thing between in-universe order and release order, which is worth messing with because the two are wildly different.

If you're into the MCU and you spot something I got wrong, or you have a suggestion, feel free to drop it here. There's a contact email on the site too if you'd rather reach me that way, I'll try to answer everything. The plan now is to keep building this out, make the MCU timeline richer, and after a while start new ones. DC, Star Wars, whatever else I end up feeling like doing. It's a fun project for me. The idea is to take the universes I've been following for years and give them a shape, something you can actually click around and dig into, so I get to poke at them the way I wanted to in the first place, and other people who are into this stuff can get something out of it too.

I haven't fully finished season 2 and can't stop thinking about these questions.

no season 2 spoilers. if any of the answers spoil it please just say its a spoiler and nothing else.

1. why are there different variations of loki at all, if loki just escaping causes the tva to go after him why would one be allowed to be female, let alone an alligator.

2. How does the tva work into the Multiverse.

3. Does each universe have a tva or is there one tva that's connected to the entire Multiverse.

4. if there's one tva why would there be a Multiverse if they were constantly making corrections to the sacred timeline and making everything happen how it was "supposed to" wouldn't that mean the Multiverse wouldn't exist?
