Ngl, I thought they were referencing Mephisto too. But I'm way more interested in this other variation of Loki.

@KWilly - There's a difference between referencing him and having appear though.

To me it seemed like a very obvious Mephisto reference. I never thought it meant he would appear in this show, or that he woukd be the big bad. But they even comment on how he's afraid of the TVA, which pretty much lines up perfectly with how Mephisto is a coward when it comes to dealing with powerful people.

I took it like the Stephen Strange reference in Captain America: Winter Soldier. Or showing the location of Atlantis and Wakanda on that map in Iron Man 2. Mostly just confirmation that he does exist in the MCU, but when or if we'll ever see him is still to be seen.

Thought so the horns were a reference to Loki. The girl probably was scared and only got a vague look at him and thought: ''yep he has horns, so must be same guy as in the window''

She's lying. She's clearly Mephisto.

Honestly, this is a relief. That stained glass window had my mind spinning and heart still aching from the "heartbreak" of expectations I set up for myself when watching Wandavision.

I really liked this first episode even without scouring for easter eggs. Solid stuff, and without the looming, "Is this Mephisto?," I think I can focus on the story they are trying to tell more rather than the one that I am theorizing in my head.

@TheRose - so let me ask you sincerely. Before all the wandavision hysteria, did you care all that much for Mephisto or crave to see him in live action this much?

I'm trying to understand the human psyche as it relates to rumor attachment and misguided hopes and desires

@Vigor - I actually have been a fan of Mephisto for a while. I grew up in the 90s, but my first stories with him cast Mephisto as a space demon fighting Silver Surfer and trying to manipulate Thanos. "What if Satan, but cosmic?" was a strong allure for me as a kid growing up in a fundamentalist church background, since our concept of Satan was very binary. Mephisto has always made his deals sound so enticing because he can offer them on a cosmic scale.

As a fan, Wandavision seemed like the obvious story to introduce this devil, but I'm overall glad he didn't show up. I still think he may be on the periphary of the MCU, but I'm content to just sit back and let them tell the story they plan on telling now. If I wanted the story written my way, I should have become a professional writer and hopped in to the seat myself.

@TheRose - very good. An actual real Mephisto fan 👏

@Vigor - I've been wanting to see Mephisto for years. In fact, as soon as I knew for sure the MCU was heading toward an Infinity Gauntlet story I got excited because he's in that comic quite a bit.

And I've always liked his dynamic in the comics of being similar to the actual devil of Marvel (yes, I know he's not THEE Devil, but for a very long time he actuall wqs considered to be the devil) as well as the way he almost never gets his hands dirty directly. He's always pulling some manipulative BS on heroes that have the chance of having huge ramifications.

I don't know. I just always liked him. Cowardly piece of crap that will seriously mess up people's lives if given even a small opportunity. Seems like a cool villain to have in the MCU that isn't quite like anyone else.

@TheRose - Mephisto first appeared in Silver Surfer #3. The story is a Stan Lee/John Buscema classic. It's a must-read for any Mephisto fan.

I’ll never understand why people allow their own theorised fan-fiction of how they think something should play out get in the way of enjoying a show or movie. They did it with Star Wars, WandaVision, and if the director didn’t clear this up, Loki. Who cares if Mephisto shows up? Try enjoying the show for what it is. You’ll feel better for it.

Feige has to be seeing all this Mephisto shit thinking man I guess fans REALLY want to see him in the MCU.

YEA! They made that pretty obvious at the end of episode one. I never expected him to be in Loki.

What a damn lie. Clearly Miphisto

He is Mephisto

There is NO reason for Mephisto to be in Loki that would be weird spot for him to show up.
