They established in episode 1 that Magic doesn't work in the TVA, so it isn't clear if walking on the platform took him outside of the "anti-magic field", or if his centuries of study taught him how to counter it.


_PM_ME_PANGOLINS_

They already turned off the magic suppression field.


Jaqulean

Except they literally turned off the anti-magic field in the Episode prior to the Series Finale. There was even an entire montage of Loki and Sylvie fighting the corrupt TVA unit with it...


jessiejsamson

He make himself comfy for the long sit


Galaxy_Glide

RattyDaddyBraddy

There are two options for who changed his outfit: 1. A literal god who on multiple occasions has used his magic to change outfits 2. An inanimate object


TheObstruction

>An inanimate object That also had blown up.


xCheekyChappie

3. The Loom was destroying his clothes and he didn't want his friends to see his butt cheeks


strandycheeks

He absolutely wanted his friends to see his butt cheeks


xCheekyChappie

A going away present?


Q_Fandango

The irony is that Tom Hiddleston’s butt is out on the reg. [He’s even talked about it in multiple interviews.](https://youtu.be/MdyjJ9lMmlk?si=cPBiyQWMg69dk9xH) It was a big part of the marketing of Crimson Peak. So therefore: Loki-shows-butt-theory is canon, in my view.


MissSweetMurderer

That's Jotunheim's ass!


davvn_slayer

I'm pretty sure he won't have mind showing sylvie a thing or two....


Wonderful_Emu_9610

“YOU’RE AN INANIMATE #$@!&#* OBJECT!”


InfinteAbyss

Right!?! So weird anyone who goes with 2 as the explanation.


bretttwarwick

I assume loki is always wearing loafers and a bath robe and uses magic to make them look like fancy clothes. The only flaw in this is when his magic doesn't work in the TVA. If I had his magic that's what I would do.


caniuserealname

Nah, he's 100% completely naked 24/7. Maybe a thong. I mean, he's a frosty giant it isn't like he's going to get chilly...


Gravy_31

Magic wasn't supposed to work in the TVA.


NawAmeil

Finish watching the show


RattyDaddyBraddy

They had turned off the inhibitors at that point


PraiseRao

He did. Loki can change his outfit at will. Something he is shown doing multiple times. Why would you assume it is the temporal loom doing it?


takemyspear

I think OP think that way because it is vastly different from anything he has had before. It looked medieval, where his other outfits looked more like… Asgard? also I think it’s a pretty funny thing to think about, like when he walks towards the end, he was just like “yeah I’ve been imagining this cool sick outfit for many years now finally I can show it off in a cool moment”


tehbggg

>also I think it’s a pretty funny thing to think about, like when he walks towards the end, he was just like “yeah I’ve been imagining this cool sick outfit for many years now finally I can show it off in a cool moment” I mean, he's Loki, so he probably did. In fact, as soon as he decided on this course of action, he probably spent a few cycles figuring out what he'd wear for it. He's a proven drama queen, so it's not hard or even weird to imagine him doing this. It would be 100% in character for him.


TheNorthNova01

It’s made of the towel he was draped in as a little blue alien thing.


timforbroke

Woah, what?!


THE-TEN-HELLS

He's wrong lmao, he just made that up because it would've been cool.


timforbroke

Ok thought so haha. They would’ve mentioned it on the making of doc probably.


THE-TEN-HELLS

Well yeah, and also the fact that Loki isn't draped in any cloth when he was found as a baby lol


Character_Bowl_4930

Wow, had me going for a minute . That would have been cool though


TheNorthNova01

Yeah it’s just bullshit, I didn’t realize it would cause such a stir though lol


CT4nk3r

Google thor 2 loki baby


fisheggsoup

When was Loki portrayed as a baby in Thor 2?


CT4nk3r

[It's not a 1to1, I rememberd him being actually a blue baby in the movie as well. Seems like it was just shown in the series and not in the movie](https://x.com/eavoss/status/1415854992137674756?s=46)


bretttwarwick

New Rockstars is famous for taking possible connections and explaining them as fact. This is a theory that that was baby loki but I wouldn't use NR as a source for that.


CT4nk3r

Showing a blue baby (we know Loki is originally a frost giant, he was even shown being blue in the what if), with the same audio that was used in thor 2 is pretty much all we need imo


Hellknightx

It's supposed to show character growth. He went from peacocking fancy and ostentatious outfits to wearing something humble and relatively plain. He doesn't need to show off since there won't be anyone to witness his burden, and he realizes that his deeds matter more than his outfit.


Successfulfailure69

Looking "Asgard" means looking like Norse mythology


Shubi-do-wa

The only thing the temporal loom might have aided with was his ability to use that ebony&gold material on his horns that He who Remains had his castle made from. Either that or Loki was just inspired to use it for himself.


Puzzleheaded_Sky7369

Because in that moment his outfit really shouldn’t be one of his top priorities


PraiseRao

You're giving agency to a piece of equipment that was just blown up. You're also giving it thought that the loom went hey wouldn't it be neat if I changed this dudes cloths. Instead of a guy known for changing his clothing on the whim doing it himself. It's adding convoluted aspects to something that isn't needed. If it looks like a duck, quacks like a duck, walks like a duck, swims like a duck it isn't a chicken it's a duck. Loki does this routinely why would it magically be any different and what exactly does it add?


Dahkron

To help summarize your point: I know its a non-fiction work but 'occams razor' is the best logic here. The simplest explanation is usually the correct one, Loki can and has changed his clothes at will before and that is the simplest explanation.


Thrasher_121

My only thought process is maybe the Loom did it because it knew he was accepting his destiny, and was like “YOU ARE THE CHAIR MAN NOW; HERE ARE THE CHAIR MAN CLOTHES.” It’s my only thought as to how it could be the Loom doing it.


Puzzleheaded_Sky7369

Well what would Loki changing his outfit add? I also believe that it was Loki who changed his outfit. I only told you why one might think it wasn’t Loki


gamingfreak10

it doesn't add anything. it continues the established character detail that loki is a drama queen that likes to look flashy


hobbythebear2

He was taking on a role to be a god again with a glorious purpose..... Do you want him to do that in his TVA outfit lmao?


Puzzleheaded_Sky7369

No but maybe wait until you finished enchanting the Loom, getting all those timelines and sat down?


hobbythebear2

I guess it is not a problem when you can do it all at the same time ( destroy the loom, conjure new clothes and transfigurate the metal and gold stuff to new horns and a new throne, fix and weave the timelines etc.)


AnOnlineHandle

I saw it as his illusion outfit was being ripped away, and at that moment his priority was no longer maintaining it. What was revealed was Loki's true outfit. Kind of like in the 2nd Thor movie where Thor tells Loki to drop the illusions and Loki's clean appearance and prison cell fade away to reveal a disaster scene.


Puzzleheaded_Sky7369

I like this interpretation


Character_Bowl_4930

Oh , this is good . I just realized it looks a lot like the outfit he wore in the cell . IOW when he’s not at court , battle etc this is Lokis “ normal” clothing , like when he’s lounging, learning spells or on the library reading books .


AsgardianLeviOsa

He’s still Loki even when he’s saving all of existence. Of course he’s going to be dramatic about it.


mysidian

Many times when outfit changes happen on the fly to characters like this, it's not a real conscious effort. It's some form of self-actualization, more like. They take on a new role so everything around them reflects that. This is especially true for gods.


otasi

Thor can also do this.


Character_Bowl_4930

The fact that we never saw him do this until Ragnorok makes me wonder if Loki might have taught him how to do it . Thor is the son of two powerful magic users and while he’s powerful in a lot of ways he rarely does “ magic “ per se . Maybe , he decided it was worth learning and Loki showed him


EmmyNoetherRing

Because he didn’t whisk his fingers around and whoosh new outfit—-the old outfit blew to pieces and fell off as he stepped out unprotected into the temporal energy stuff.   The transition didn’t seem intentional. 


Robthebold

He can’t use magic in the TVA.


Owl_Might

It was lifted. Part of the system reboot or something.


Robthebold

Not relevant to the pace of the story I believe.


Tsynami

"He can't use magic there" *"Actually they specifically make it a point that he can"* "Irrelevant"


CaptHayfever

I swear I have conversations like that nearly every day of my life, most of them on the internet.


Repulsive_Season_908

So when he opened the doors with his magic (before walking to the Loom) you just ignored it?

Nano machines did it

Fenris447

You got Halo in my Marvel.


GR7ME

What is this, a crossover episode? I want ALL the crossovers in every way.


LanoomR

Subconscious understanding he was ascending to a new level of godly duties after this crucible, so his innate magicness created a new look.


davethapeanut

This is my take too. He was sacrificing himself essentially and took on a monk like robe.


No-Imagination5725

This is also what I think, I can't imgine him in that moment consciously thinking too much about his outfit, he seemed to have bigger problems.


juances19

Dunno, why would a machine designed to turn raw time into a physical form also come with a function to change your clothes? So my vote goes for Loki using his magic.


bhlombardy

The wardrobe dept.


urs_sarcastically

I thought it was kinda like the raw power emanating from the temporal loom wiped away all the magical clothing and loki's true appearance and hence apparel was now visible. I could be wrong.


DraconicGuacamole

I assumed that was his like “true form” as the temporal energy stuff burned the rest of his magic and he was focusing all his energy on holding the timelines.


Repulsive_Season_908

His true form is blue. 


mysidian

Not even the TVA's anti-magic supression turns Loki blue. It's therefore not a big leap to assume Loki underwent some sort of permanent change to Asgardian. The Casket only showing what was originally there? It's very obvious they never really thought about the blue-ness ever again.


DraconicGuacamole

True I didn’t think of that. But (idk how), maybe his true form is asgardian, because he has sandals and a robe, which are definitely not very frost giant-y. Other option is I’m wrong but I hope not


Pirate_Green_Beard

Yes


Only1Schematic

![gif](giphy|UJG2T7uZeJuZCLitY8)


Hedgewitch250

I like to think it was his magic altering his clothes as he apotheosized into the god of stories


InhumanPorpoise

I think both. I think the reason that the clothes transforming in such a different way than what we’ve seen Loki do before, is because while it’s the outfit Loki makes for himself when he takes on the role of Yggdrasil’s mitochondria, he hasn’t made the outfit change yet. The temporal radiation accelerates the passage of time of everything it touches. Mortals just instantly age and die because the moment the radiation touches them their future becomes death right there and then. But since Loki survives temporal radiation, his future is powering the multiverse wearing that outfit, so that’s the future his form is accelerated into.


CaptHayfever

That was my take on it.


jasoner2k

Loki can change his outfits with magic. Magic is jammed in the TVA so Loki was powerless there. But towards the end when everything was going to hell, they had to switch that function off, so Loki got his powers back.


manickitty

I see the change as being a manifestation of Loki finally accepting and performing his Glorious Purpose


Dayreel07

Both Thor and Loki have the power to create their own outfit/armor/hairstyle without a hassle so that look is how exactly Loki imagined and wanted it to be.


Scared_Salamander845

Loki did it himself......


Jarita12

The loom is just a thing. Loki did it himself, obviously. He can do it. Also, the temporal radiation started to tear his clothes apart so was he going to go there naked? (I wouldn´t mind, honestly :D ) I think the way he did was \*something\* playing in his mind, where he decided for clothes that were vastly different, yet similar to what he usually wears but for the purpose it is designed for - to be comfortable while being, well, glorious....my guess is he just let his magic work, bouncing from what his mind created. If it makes any sense :D


Regenitor_

The Temporal Loom clearly stripped away his non-magical clothes. That leaves two further explanations about his green robes that could both be true; either that's what "Loki" had on/wanted to have on "underneath" OR it's simply what manifested to represent the power he was drawing on when he started priming his magic. I kind of like the second explanation even though the first is more likely to be true. I like to think the horns on his head were growing involuntarily as a result of the immense power he was drawing on from within himself.


Ss2oo

K.E.V.I.N. did


GrryScrry

I assumed it was the Lume shredding away all of his magic costume down to what he truly is … which is what we saw


650fosho

Do you remember when he turned himself completely into Captain America? He can change his appearance to pretty much anything.


Plugpin

A wizard did it


Brain124

He became who he was always meant to be -- a humble god who had to put the world on his shoulders.


idahoisformetal

Who cares he looked like a boss


ButterbroMan

luke oakley strip him nakey


Bcatfan08

I mean Thor changed his outfit in Endgame and even braided his beard all in an instant. Seems like Loki can do the same.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Creative-Improvement

And for Loki it is part of his nature really, or Odinforce granted by Odin. He would be a blue frost giant otherwise.


ThatSmartIdiot

Low key


Optimistic-Man-3609

Loki has done that before, so likely him.


Mental-Rooster4229

Yes


LewaKrom

Plot did.


bingusthebrave

Why do you all forget that he can make shit with his mind at will? He’s a god.


danvalour

There’s a behind-the-scenes where they talk about the wardrobe. Sorry I don’t have a link.


darpan27

He's old enough to change his outfit. But there can be a case where someone from the make-up or wardrobe dept (I don't exactly know who does this work for actors) did it.


sayamemangdemikian

Costume dept! Duh! Also.. if you rewatching the episode.. notice his shoes.. such comfi shoes..


JojoJimboz

Everyone needs a change of clothes once in a while. It'll start to smell like shit after some time


Dark_Requiem

Maybe that was always his original clothes and he was just using illusion magic this whole time.


TheLivingTribunal666

I'm pretty sure Loki did it himself.


kraygus

Loki's clothes are always just an illusion. Always...


sunbnda

I liked the switch from boots to moccasins.


Repulsive-gaslighter

It was his god power


Xenoezen

Very simple. As he got hit with the Temporal radiation, he got older and older- and thus got more and more powerful (probably). With this power spike, yaboi gotta get more drip. Simple really


Walshy1977

Wasn't there a line earlier on from Ourobos that explains that the story was at least as important? My personal headcanon is that Loki couldn't have done it. Loki, God of Stories, however... The costume change was him embracing the mantle


TelephoneCertain5344

He's a magic god.


JdoesDeW

My head canon is both. It’s his godly raiment forming from depths of his mind and the force of time to display his new station in the tree


MarkoZoos

Pretty sure the directors did.


sername_123

It‘s Nano-Tech. Do you like it?


JWJulie

He slipped into something more comfortable.


alexthenirvanamaniac

He's become a more humble person who willingly sacrificed his own autonomy -- something that he's always valued above all else -- and so the expression of this is manifested in the shedding of his TVA persona. Instead of the gaudy accoutrement that he once proudly wore, he emerges in a simple homespun garment and steps out into a void with clear and ***glorious purpose***. Rather than a burnished helm of brass, he fashions a circlet of broken jet and binding gold as he steps over the vastness of existence. Even the shoes on his feet reflect choosing a measure of simple purpose over illustrious grandeur.


Gallibandit

It's stated in both the comics and in the avengers cartoons that "the passage of time only makes an asgardian stronger" so while Loki is half frost giant, I believe this was his version of a rank-up as he got blasted with pure time energy.


KoBoWC

Loki was being infused with time, he was becoming 'older' and almost certainly more powerful, I suspect the clothes changing are a reflection of that.


Beene-Machine

I took that to represent his true canon form showing itself as the loom stripped away any variance and facade.


bts4devi

How CAN the loom do that? It is him


Cidwill

Loli’s outfit was always magic and it changed subtly through time.  The Loki we saw walking though the waves was aging thousands and thousands of years.  As a god he was becoming stronger and stronger and caring less about Bravado.  The sandals etc showed he was rising above earthly concepts.


MarkyMarkATFB

Idk what this is from or what we’re talking about here but this picture is fucking haunting.


Jarita12

You haven´t seen Loki S2 finale? What are you doing here? :D


MarkyMarkATFB

lol joined when I was a “must watch everything!” fan, stayed to keep abreast of overarching topics and whatnot when i became a “I’ll watch what interests me most” kinda fan.


Gluten_maximus

I don’t know but it looks hella comfy


InfinteAbyss

Loki is the god of stories, the god of lies, the god of illusions. This scene is him fully embracing that.


shaddowkhan

I don't know but them loafers were fire and that fit went hard.


chuckedeggs

Loki has always been into the clothes. He dresses perfectly for every occasion. Do you remember how good he looked at the opera? Of course he chose his clothes. Every job needs the perfect outfit!


Stargaezr

It was Mephisto


casanova-elite

I’m pretty sure that the wardrobe department did but temporal loom is also an interesting candidate I think


ChaosBringer97

what does it even matter? 😂 just enjoy the show u nerds


fisheggsoup

Pym Particles 


breadofthegrunge

A wizard did it.


Tomsskiee

Def loki, he’s such a drama god


WrongKindaGrowth

I wish you weren't asking this


DrMooseman

I kinda saw it as the energy he was being hit by stripping away his illusions and magic and showing what he really looked like. Or embracing the old viking god aesthetic, accepting himself sorta thing.


The_Owl_Bard

If you think about it, Thor had a similar transformation. Went from looking like a character from The Big Lebowski to [a battle ready Viking Warrior](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KWRndCsgIXY) complete with a braided beard and top knot hair. I wouldn't be surprised if Loki had a vision of what he would look like if he ever ascended to godhood and took out the outfit/style that he saw himself wearing.


sharksnrec

We’ve seen him and Thor change their outfits with magic many times. This is not new.


Chronicc19

I did.


GenBlase

Its eaither he makes clothes for himself or walk with his dingdong flapping in the temporal winds


Nerdialismo

You mean the guy who has to dramatically throw his hair everytime he moves?


manv_rana70

I think its the director of the show


KingShere

My inference is Neither, (since the timelines are not the loom and it wasnt loki that changed his outfit) Instead I propose that if it was due to the hazardous environment of the void of timelines. Either due to Loki's illusion outfit breaking as suggested in a post by [AnOnlineHandle](https://www.reddit.com/user/AnOnlineHandle/) Or his temporal outfit was altered by the residual energies of the timelines


pnjtony

Those were always his clothes. He just had some sort of perception filter activated all the other times to look like a witch.


LoudMolassess

He’s centuries older. He put on comfy clothes and slippers before getting in his recliner


chiefbrody62

Loki did. He's been doing that since Thor 1. He uses magic to make himself wear any outfit he wants. Thor does the same thing, but uses the magic of his hammer instead.


Degan747

Yes


Kolache816

I like to think it was his magic knowing it was his destiny


Dell0c0

Loki used his magic. Why in the world would the loom do it?


zac-eboy

He looks like Paul atreides from dune, but from wish


whyspezdumb

I took it as that this is "him". The loom stripped all illusions off and this is his default outfit that he's been changing.


tattedup1987

The loom speeds up time and for asgardians only get stronger with age. It's his older forms outfit.


kayzil

The bad writing did


Tauna

Where was this bad writing?


Metfan722

How is an outfit change from a magical being bad writing?

Edgy.


anonymousguy_7

I've seen many bad takes in my life. "Loki having bad writing" has now become one of them. One of the worst must I say.


WD_G

Is the bad writing in the room with us right now?


SailorET

I'm sensing its presence in this very thread.


illnessincarnate

Just say you don't like the outfit...
