10 ‘Loki’ Season 2, Episode 2 Easter Eggs, Callbacks, and Reveals, Explained

Loki season 2 doesn’t let up in its second episode, as both the personal and multiversal stakes are only increased as the sophomore run for Tom Hiddleston’s trickster’s TV show continues. This time around, the God of Mischief and Mobius have to crack a disillusioned hunter who’s apparently betrayed the TVA in order to find out what’s happened to Sylvie — I mean, we know she’s working in a McDonalds in ’80s Oklahoma, but they don’t.

As is customary for the MCU, along the way, episode 2 is stuffed with callbacks to the wider Marvel universe, both the movies and TV shows of the past as well as Marvel’s rich comics history. The episode’s 1977 setting (the same year Star Wars came out, I might add) helps give things a period flavor to boot. The eagle-eyed out there may have spotted a few of these, but here’s every Easter egg, sneaky reference, and major reveal hidden in Loki season 2’s second episode.

1. Breaking Brad

This is an obvious one, but it’s possible you might’ve missed it if you didn’t pay enough attention to the episode title. Loki season 2’s second installment is called “Breaking Brad,” a clear pun on one of the most celebrated TV series of all time. It has a double meaning, though, as it draws attention to the fact that Loki’s own arc is the exact opposite of Walter White’s, going from villain to hero instead of vice versa.

2. Kingo returns

At this point, Kingo is carrying the legacy of Eternals on his back. Although the immortal superhero team and the events of their movie are barely referenced two years on, Kumail Nanjiani’s Bollywood star was previously discussed in Ms. Marvel and now he’s back, kinda, in Loki season 2, episode 2. When tracking runaway hunter X-05 to 1970s London, Loki and Mobius pass a poster for one of Kingo’s films.
