Loki season 2 episode 4just featured one of the most shocking death scenes in the MCU – and fans can’t get over it.
Time was of the essence in ‘Heart of the TVA’, which is now streaming onDisney Plus, as Loki (Tom Hiddleston) and the gang raced against the clock – metaphorical and literal, oh Miss Minutes – to stop the malfunctioning Temporal Loom from destroying everything. Their attempt to save the day, however, hit a snag when X-5/Brad Wolfe (Rafael Casal), lured in by the promise of being able to return to his Sacred Timeline life as an actor, sided with Renslayer (Gugu Mbatha-Raw).
Trying to take the TVA for themselves, the trio – don’t forget Miss Minutes! – rounded up General Dox (Kate Dickie) and her Minutemen in the interrogation room and well, dispatched of them by trapping them inside a giant orange cube, like the one Loki put Brad in in episode 2, and… shrinking it.
“How does it feel knowing that all of us here would rather die than follow you out that door?” Dox asked Renslayer defiantly, as the camera cuts away from the cube, instead focusing on Brad’s nauseated face. While we didn’t technically see anything, the audio is truly terrifying, as the soldiers' shouts and screams slowly turn into sounds of bones crunching and, presumably, blood dripping.
“This has got to go down in history as one of the most violent, most hard core moments in MCU history. I cringed and they didn’t even show anything,“one viewer wrote on Twitter, asanother said: “Hitchcockian… the actors on screen sold it.”
“So brutal that listening to them being tortured was enough to have a ‘OMG I’m shocked’ kind of reaction,“said a third, asa fourth tweeted: “Miss Minute’s look of amusement was pure horror.”
