Besides having stunning visuals, ‘Loki’ is packed with an engaging storyline. The first episode perfectly sets up the tone for the entire series and has given a lot to talk about. As soon as the episode aired, fans came forward with their theories and opined how the show might have a lot of secrets buried in it. However, one theory suggests that the Time Variance Authority (TVA) is holding a dark secret that could the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) forever.

What if everything that has been said so far in ‘Loki’ is a lie? The possibility of everything being a sham is really strong and a particular Reddit theory currently floating around the internet might give you a good reason to believe it.

MCU Phase 4: Here's how the 'Loki' miniseries on Disney+ could connect to 'Thor: Love and Thunder'

According to a Reddit user named Royal-Roll7762, there are several things that the TVA has been hiding from Loki (Tom Hiddleston) and everyone else. The theory claims that there are no timekeepers and their no sacred timeline. The user also says that the multiverse exists and all the other things are a lie.

However, the next claim that the user makes is really intriguing. The user says that Judge Ravonna Renslayer (Gugu Mbatha Raw) is actually the wife of Kang the Conquerer and she is directly reporting to him. To be honest, it does make sense. In the comics, Ravonna is best known as the long-time love interest of Kang. We all know that the series will be exploring how the master manipulator broke reality and how TVA will attempt to fix the timeline, it is really possible that Judge Ravonna might turn out to be the main antagonist.

She’ll also make sure that Loki doesn’t ruin everything that she has been prepping for. Her introduction to the MCU is really important and it suggests that Kang might become a part of the universe really soon.

It also makes sense that Kang is a part of all this and wants the timelines to be controlled because it makes his work so much easier. For him, the control of time is about as close to absolute power as one can get and if he indeed is the show’s secret villain, then the MCU will get a lot more chaotic without a single Sacred Timeline to focus on.

The theory suggests that TVA might be doing something even more sinister. It will be interesting to see if Loki confronts the supervillain during the series.
