The Avengers’ First Scene Justifies How The Loki Season 2 Ending Works

Summary

• Loki's acceptance of a villainous quest in The Avengers foreshadows his ultimate role as the God of Stories in Loki season 2.
• The scepter given to Loki in The Avengers housed the Mind Stone, showcasing Loki's ability to wield powerful Infinity Stones.
• Loki's ability to withstand and manipulate temporal radiation in Loki season 2 reveals his inherent power, which he had been unknowingly demonstrating since his time with the Mind Stone.

Loki has assumed his place in the MCU as the God of Stories during the ending of Loki season 2, and the first scene in The Avengers justified his ascension a whole 11 years prior. With Loki being such a mainstay of the MCU, it can be easy to forget that the star of the Disney Plus series Loki is different to the original Loki on the Sacred Timeline, who faced a longer stint as a villain. Despite this, the short time the Disney+ show Loki had in the main MCU timeline - in Thor and The Avengers - was still enough to set up his ultimate role, while his Sacred Timeline variant worked to launder Loki's image on an emotional level.
The Avengers opens with a short scene that depicts Loki interacting with The Other, who is acting on behalf of Thanos himself. This interaction saw The Other bestow Loki with his villainous quest: to recover the Tesseract on earth in exchange for its subjugation under him. Loki, who had just been through quite a lot to get there, saw this opportunity to establish himself as a god among men and accepted, at which point he was given a scepter to aid in his nefarious endeavor.
