Who is the TVA in Marvel Studios’ Loki Series?

We don’t know a whole lot about Marvel Studios’ Loki Series, but we do know it involves the ever-mysterious TVA. Who is the TVA and what do they do? That much we know. What will this mean for the future of the MCU? Well… We have a hunch.

Marvel Studios’ Loki-led Disney Plus series is just around the corner and we know it’ll answer a few questions. However, it’ll probably raise double the amount, going off of what we know so far. It’s going to be insane! If there’s one thing you can do to prepare yourself, though, it’s figuring out what the TVA is and why they’re important.

What is the TVA in the Loki Series?

Firstly, it’s worth pointing out what we mean by TVA; TVA stands for the Time Variance Authority. As you can imagine, based on the words “Time Variance” and “Authority”, they’re a pretty big deal.

The TVA is essentially a sort of “Time Police”, operating outside the existence of time as we know it in the “Null-Time Zone”. As an organization, they claim responsibility for monitoring the multiverse and ensuring all the different timelines are all in working order. We don’t quite know who’s in charge and we don’t really know who put them in charge of time but that’s just how things work in the Marvel Universe.

There are instances where they fail to interfere, but on the by-and-large, they work outside our current understanding of time stopping people from destroying the multiverse. It’s a tough job, alright?

FUN FACT: In Marvel Comics, all the TVA employees in middle management (with actual faces) are clones of Mark Gruenwald and Tom DeFalco, two long-time Marvel Comics writers. There are also people like Mr. Tesseract, Mr. Paradox, and Mr. Orobourus. They’re a strange bunch.

Why is the TVA important?

The Time Variance Authority is important for countless reasons. As for the Marvel Cinematic Universe, though, they’re important because they’re going to tie together the mysteries we all have about the next phase of films and TV shows.

After Loki nabbed the Cosmic Cube in Avengers: Endgame, he dipped and created a number of Splinter Timelines. As you can imagine, the TVA isn’t a fan of this and they’ve got him under lock and key until he can help them fix the multiverse. The fact that they’ve managed to arrest him shows you just how powerful they are!

We’re not sure why they didn’t show up in Endgame sooner though, but… Time Travel, right?

Other than this, though, we don’t know exactly what’s coming in Marvel Studios’ Loki series but we know the TVA is a pretty big deal.
