Thor’s Unseen Post-Credits Events Secretly Explain Loki’s Phase 5 Arc

Unseen post-credits events in Thor can help to explain Loki‘s somewhat confusing MCU Phase 5 arc, which technically stars a Loki that never went through the same redemptive events experienced by the original Loki, who was ultimately crushed by Thanos. It isn’t just the MCU post-credits scenes depicted on screen that can often carry a significant impact on the wider MCU. In fact, considerations surrounding what has happened between movies after the credits have rolled can often engender some interesting questions about a character’s overall arc. Thankfully, Tom Hiddleston himself is very good at answering these questions about his MCU character, which is especially beneficial given Loki’s complex MCU timeline.
