Hey everyone, I’ve been thinking a lot about the Loki S2 ending and the current Doomsday rumors, and I have a theory that I haven’t seen discussed much.

We all know He Who Remains is dead (Sylvie killed him and Loki chose not to undo it). That single death already caused the Sacred Timeline to branch infinitely and opened the door for thousands of Kang variants. Now Loki is sitting on the throne at the End of Time as the God of Stories, literally weaving and holding every single timeline branch together with his own power.

Here’s the theory:

If Doctor Doom actually kills Loki in Avengers: Doomsday (or steals/absorbs his God of Stories powers like some leaks suggest), we’re not just losing one Loki… we’re about to get flooded with God of Stories-level Loki variants across the multiverse.

Think about it:

- When He Who Remains died, his variants (Kangs) started appearing everywhere.

- Loki now has the same (actually way bigger) level of power over time, stories, and timelines. So if he dies or his power is taken, the same logic should apply — but on a much more dangerous scale.

- We already know there are variants of He Who Remains who have time-control powers. Imagine those same variants, but now mixed with God of Stories Loki powers? The multiverse would literally start collapsing under the weight of infinite god-like Lokis who can rewrite reality and timelines at will.

Doctor Doom is an absolute genius and one of the strongest villains in Marvel… but even he can’t control infinite God-powered Loki variants running wild. Battleworld or not, this would be total multiversal chaos that no one (not even Doom) could contain. It would make the Kang situation look like a Sunday picnic.

This feels like the perfect setup for Secret Wars — a complete multiversal reset because the one being holding everything together is gone.

What do you guys think?

- Am I overthinking this?

- Or does this actually make sense with how the MCU has handled timeline deaths so far?

- Anyone else worried that killing Loki would make the collapse way bigger than what we saw after He Who Remains?

Would love to hear your thoughts!
