Summary

Loki Season 2 breaks the trend of including post-credits scenes, following the example set by Avengers: Endgame, emphasizing conclusions and finality.
The ending of Loki Season 2 pays tribute to the character's journey and ultimate sacrifice, highlighting the significance of his role in the MCU.
By forgoing a post-credits scene, Loki Season 2 prioritizes the storytelling and message of the season, demonstrating that sometimes silence about future events is more impactful.

Marvel's Loki season 2 made a bold post-credits scene choice that secretly hints the MCU is finally learning one of the most important lessons of Avengers: Endgame. Given that Marvel movie post-credits scenes are a major selling point of the brand, it could have been expected that Loki would follow suit, particularly with the multiverse storyline having such broad ramifications. But in the end, a more reserved approach was actually the right call.
Despite Loki being at the heart of the Multiverse Saga and directly setting up the upcoming Avengers: The Kang Dynasty, the final moments of season 2 are not dedicated to looking to what's next. Despite the no-doubt irresistible urge to tease what Loki's decision at the end of "Glorious Purpose" actually means to the rest of the MCU, the finale ends on an emotional note of finality. And crucially, while Loki season 2 has no post-credits scene, and that might disappoint some viewers, it's the perfect pay-off of a lesson introduced 4 years ago.
