[[WMG: Mobius is a variant of {{Creator/Owen Wilson}}]]
Season 2 establishes that Mobius does not know his real name or what kind of life he had before he came to the TVA. As a meta joke, it will be revealed that Mobius is a variant of Owen Wilson who strayed from the Sacred Timeline in some way (maybe he never worked with {{Creator/Wes Anderson}}) and was picked up by the TVA to have his memory erased and turned into an agent.

[[WMG: It was all He Who Remains' plan. All of it.]]
* Loki sacrificing himself to manage the timeline was what He Who Remains wanted all along. As he said in Season 1, his ultimate goal was to [[DeathSeeker die]] [[TakeUpMySword and have Loki take his place managing the timeline]], which is exactly what happened in the end. He always knew Loki would never kill Sylvie, he just had to put Loki in that situation in order for him to make that sacrifice. In the end it was all just a gambit by He Who Remains to bring back the multiverse and have someone else deal with his variants.

[[WMG: Renslayer and her variants will be the main antagonist of ''Kang Dynasty'']]
* She was key to He-Who-Remains' rise to power, then got betrayed and memory wiped, a fact she is now aware of. Plus, her fate at the end of the series is ''extremely'' ambiguous. This looks suspiciously like Marvel developing a backup plan in case they decide to drop Majors—something that's started to look increasingly likely.

When She-Hulk used her Fourth-Wall-Breaking powers to visit K.E.V.I.N. and write a better ending for her show, she actually traveled to the End of Time and met Loki. Loki made it look like the Disney[=/=]Marvel Studios offices and himself like an AI robot both as AFormYouAreComfortableWith and to avoid giving away spoilers for ''his'' show.

[[spoiler:The description in episode 1 of season 2 says anyone pulled into the loom will be spaghettified and ripped apart, lost to time. This is how Kang's variants come to exist scattered across the timeline, a lot of them are his essence that has reemerged following Victor's unfortunate fate and is how He Who Remains planned for his variants to spread through the multiverse, while also eliminating the TVA, which was the only group who could possibly stop his return. I would go so far as to say the TVA's destruction is essential to allowing the Kang variants to rise, as its function relied on just the one timeline, and now that it is destroyed, the timeline can branch without consequence, with Victor being pulled in just before the cataclysmic destruction.]]

With [[spoiler:the deaths of He Who Remains and Victor]], it makes sense that the season will end with ''another'' Kang. This could be another appearance of one of the Kangs from the council, or the council itself. Or it could be the return of Kang the Conqueror, whose fate was never fully confirmed in ''Quantumania''. But another possiblility is that a ''new'' variant will appear by the end of the season. This ccould be Nate Richards, Victorex Prime, Chronomonitor #616, Iron Lad, or a new variant for the MCU.

[[WMG: There's a reason why Ouroboros remembers everything while everyone doesn't]]
I find it very strange that Ouroboros somehow remembers everything while all TVA folks including Mobius and Casey don't remember what happened in the past. So how come He Who Remains didn't wipe Ouroboros' memories? Considering Renslayer was one of the few folks who didn't get their memories wiped, it's possible he is in league with He Who Remains, or more likely He Who Remains just forgot about wiping Ouroboros' memories since people rarely come to his place.

O.B will be revealed to be trapped in an infinite time loop within the TVA. Similar to the Eternals, if O.B. meets his demise, he will be "reset" back to the way he was, having his memory wiped clear. The only difference, is that he will meet the same demise, ''no matter the outcome''. This could lead to the larger revelation for the TVA, that all of its workers are stuck in a never-ending infinite time loop.

[[WMG: He Who Remains, and most Kang variants respect O.B.]]
O.B. is odd amongst the TVA due to his isolation and seemingly not having his memories erased like the rest of the staff, despite his essential role he plays in the TVA. This might be because of his intelligence in keeping the TVA's technology running, and understanding how it works. If so, his intellect would be on par with Kang, and thus one of the few people who he trusts to do his job without needing mindwiping, we see from Victor Timely in 1893 respects O.B. as his major inspiration due to his manual he was given. It could also be that mindwiping O.B. might actually be dangerous, as he is the sole person who manages and repairs the TVA technology, erasing any part of his mind might make it harder for him to do his job, so instead he is isolated from the rest of the TVA.
