Marvel fans, we’ve all been there, perched on the edge of our seats, watching as Loki, the God of Mischief, does something utterly jaw-dropping.
And let’s talk about that scene in the final episode of “Loki” Season 2, where he casually strolls down the gangway, no protective suit in sight, and proceeds to dismantle the Temporal Loom, only to replace it with himself.
How did he survive the lethal radiation, you ask?
Buckle up, because this ride through the realms of Marvel’s logic is nothing short of fascinating.

Loki’s Sacrificing Decision
Loki’s story has always been one of ambition and pursuit of power.
From his schemes in “Thor” to the chaos he wrought in “The Avengers” and “Thor: Ragnarok,” his thirst for a throne was ever-present.
Yet, there’s an intriguing irony at play in his latest adventure.
As he saunters down the gangway in the climactic scene of “Loki” Season 2, his objective isn’t conquest but protection—of friends and the very fabric of reality.
This moment is where his character arc takes an extraordinary turn.
Here, Loki undergoes a transformation that is both literal and symbolic.
With each step, he’s aging to infinity, which, believe it or not, makes him immune to the Temporal Loom’s radiation bombarding him.
Why Aging Works Differently for Loki
Now, before you start thinking this aging business applies to everyone, hold that thought. Loki is no ordinary being.
He’s an Asgardian (and yes, we’ll get into the Frost Giant debate in a bit), and Asgardians only grow stronger with age.
Remember Thor in the “Avengers Assemble” animated series? When Thanos ages the Avengers, they all weaken, except for Thor, the only Asgardian, who just gets stronger.
This isn’t just a cool party trick; it’s rooted in their very nature.
The Frost Giant Argument and Loki’s Asgardian Heart
Speaking of being a Frost Giant, let’s clear the air.
Yes, Loki was born one, but his upbringing and blessings from Odin and Frigga have essentially made him an Asgardian.
Loki himself has chosen to identify as both a prince of Asgard and the rightful king of Jotunheim, embracing his dual heritage.
Odin’s final words, addressing Loki as his son, cement his place in Asgard. This blending of identities makes Loki’s situation unique, allowing him to leverage Asgardian strengths, like aging gracefully into more power.
The Frost Giant’s Immortality & Asgardian’s Overtime Power
The revelation that a Frost Giant only dies when it’s slain, not from aging, adds another layer to Loki’s survival capabilities.
This blending of identities makes Loki’s situation unique, allowing him to leverage increased power, a trait of his Asgardian side, and the inherent immortality of his Frost Giant lineage, positions Loki as a being of immense resilience and strength.
It’s Loki, the only one that can bear up with the radiation of the Temporal Loom.
