Loki Season 2's Finale Just Retconned Jonathan Majors' MCU Debut

The Loki Season 2 finale on Disney+ just gave Jonathan Majors a retcon for his introduction into the MCU as Kang the Conqueror.
Warning - This article contains spoilers for Loki Season 2, Episode 6.
Jonathan Majors played a key on-screen role in the last four episodes of Loki Season 2, mostly being featured as the Victor Timely Variant of Kang who debuted in the Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania post-credits scene.
Episode 6 changed that for Majors, allowing him to revisit the He Who Remains Variant who first arrived in Season 1, Episode 6 as Loki used his honed time-slipping abilities to try to save the Sacred Timeline.
Loki Season 2 Retcons Jonathan Majors" Introduction Marvel StudiosLoki Season 2"s finale took viewers back to Loki"s introduction to the He Who Remains Variant of Kang the Conqueror initially seen in the Season 1 finale, retconning the debut of Jonathan Majors" villain.
When Loki time-slipped back to the Citadel at the End of Time, He Who Remains directly referenced the moment in Season 1 when Sylvie killed him, reminding Loki that reincarnation is a theme of his very existence:

"Ah kiddo, did you really think I was just gonna sit back and let her kill me? And that’d be it? Zip, nada, RIP HWR? No, I told you. Reincarnation, baby."

Marvel StudiosThis retcons his motivations from the Season 1 finale, in which he told Loki and Sylvie that they had the choice to take over his job ruling over the TVA or kill him and start a new Multiversal War which would lead to him coming back regardless:

"You either take over and my life’s work continues, or you plunge a blade in my chest and an infinite amount of me start another Multiversal War and I end up right back here anyway. Reincarnation, baby."

Marvel StudiosThis new line from the Season 2 finale indicates that He Who Remains actually had full control over the situation seen in Season 1 rather than it being Sylvie and Loki"s choice to let him live or die.
Marvel StudiosThis also ties into He Who Remains" contingency of getting Miss Minutes to drop the TVA handbook off to Victor Timely, knowing this outcome would have led back to his resurrection had Loki not destroyed the temporal loom in the TVA.
Marvel StudiosHow Big Will Jonathan Majors" Kang Be Moving Forward?Jonathan Majors is certainly in a difficult position with his role in the MCU due to his domestic abuse trial, which is set to take place on Wednesday, November 29 and could lead to Marvel"s ultimate decision on whether to continue Kang"s storyline.
There appear to be rumors of a contingency plan should the worst happen for Majors, but whether or not that happens, there are plenty of questions for Marvel Studios to answer moving forward.
Loki Season 2 clearly indicates that Kang is the Multiverse"s biggest threat right now, setting him up for his expected major role as the villain in Avengers: The Kang Dynasty and Avengers: Secret Wars.
But after a recent round of delays for the MCU"s schedule set those movies back potentially even further, there"s a chance that Marvel will revamp its path away from Kang - only time will tell.
Season 2 of Loki is now streaming in full on Disney+.
