Marvel Shockingly Confirms Kang"s First MCU Variant Was Never A Villain

Summary

• He Who Remains, the first Kang variant in the MCU, was not a villain but actually had noble intentions in maintaining the "Sacred Timeline" to prevent timeline chaos.
• The death of branched timelines proves that stopping the emergence of multiple branches is necessary to prevent a gruesome fate for those inhabiting those timelines.
• Loki's storyline is setting up Kang as the MCU's big bad, with the potential for Avengers: Secret Wars to address the restoration of order in the timeline and introduce a new goal for the heroes to pursue.

Some shocking revelations have emerged as Loki Season 2 nears its final episode, including one that confirms the MCU's first Kang variant was never a villain after all. Season 1 of Loki saw Loki and Sylvie confront He Who Remains at the Citadel at the End of Time, culminating in a standoff that saw Sylvie kill the apparent creator of the TVA. This was despite Loki's protestations, who was concerned that He Who Remains' death would bring about temporal chaos. It turns out, thanks to Season 2, that Loki's concerns were well-founded after all.
He Who Remains was a Kang variant who made it his life's work to maintain one timeline, the "Sacred Timeline," which necessitated the pruning of branching timelines. His reasons for this seemed to be to prevent Kang variants from emerging and warring with one another for timeline supremacy - a position which, incidentally, he held. The motives, which Sylvie rightfully accused of robbing people of their free will, seemed both megalomanic and selfish on the part of the last remaining Kang variant - but it now looks like He Who Remains had nobler designs all along.
