1.Sylvie could have used the chance to live a peaceful life (one of the options offered by Miss Minutes/Kang in S1). I doubt she remembers who she is, because it must be the same memory-erasing technology that was applied to variants working for TVA.
2. The prisoner, presumably played by Rafael Casal, first appeared in the London scene, where he was wearing a tux and a long white scarf. Mobius chased and - obviously - arrested him. Judging by his gestures and his outgoing manner, this prisoner could be a charismatic rogue type, and we think he'll eventually make friends with Loki and Mobius.
3. I have a theory which I dread myself. We had Sylvie in S1 to make Loki learn how to love himself. Now, this new guy might be a similar plot device who might teach Loki how to be mischievous again - because that is the trait Loki seems to be missing after his Hero's Journey. So Loki has to learn the combination of mischief and good intentions to become a real Loki again. Why do I hate my theory? Well, I support the idea that Loki shouldn't be fully stripped from his original personality, and that he can be a hero in his own Loki way. What I dislike is the fact that this MCU Loki is absolutely unable to understand himself without very pronounced lessons taught by some other people. |
