The latest episode of Loki flies through multiple timelines as we finally find out the backstories of our favoriteTVAvariants. Among those explored is Hunter B-15’s other life as a doctor, which features a cheeky nod to a very interesting date on theMarvel timeline.
The set-up for the scene seemed to be pointing that way especially B-15 starts helping a girl who has broken her arm. In reality, though, it seems the writers were just trolling us. We’re not dealing with a Loki-related injury here, but just a young girl who fell out of a tree.
In fact, it’s not actually clear if this branched timeline even had its own Battle of New York to start with. Given that we B-15 doesn’t seem to recognize Loki, we’d hazard a guess that it doesn’t. That doesn’t stop it from being a great little Easter egg though.
It’s not the only reference in episode 5 either, which also features atrue crime nod in Casey’s backstoryanda Zaniac Easter egg in the post-credits. That’s not all either, there is also aclue seemingly hidden in OB’s sticky notes too.
