TheLoki season 2 finalewas full of painful goodbyes and huge sacrifices, but one that will linger with us is Loki (Tom Hiddleston) andMobius’ (Owen Wilson) final farewell. Aftertime-slippingback to their first meeting, the pair had a loaded conversation about the nature of sacrifice, and it’s even more poignant now that we know this will be their final scene on screen together.
Head writer Eric Martin confirmed the news in an interview withMarvel.com, sharing that it was an emotional moment to film. “It’s a special thing, because Tom and Owen, they have a real connection on screen,” he said. “That chemistry is there. It’s there in person. They work so well together. I think it’s touching for everybody on set because you’re just feeling a little bit of magic. It’s the last magic that everybody will see.”
It’s a fitting farewell at least for one of the most unlikely, and beloved, duos in MCU history. It features a lot of emotional weight and denouement for the pair, and of course it’s Mobius who is the person that gives Loki the words he needs to hear. “Most purpose is more burden than glory, trust me you never want to be the guy who avoids it because you can’t live with the burden,” he tells him, all but setting him on his final path to the Citadel.
But while we’re glad we had that final moment between the pair – as well as finding out that Mobius finally got his jet-ski – we’re going to miss this odd time-keeping duo. A slice of key lime pie to mark the occasion, anyone?
