Loki Easter Eggs in Episode 5 "Journey Into Mystery"
Episode 5 of Marvel’s Loki show on Disney+ saw Tom Hiddleston’s God of Mischief traversing the Void, a strange place at the end of time filled to the brim with danger, mystery, and, as it turns out, heaps of Marvel Easter eggs! We’ve combed through the episode, titled “Journey Into Mystery,” and rounded up all of the Easter eggs for your viewing pleasure.
Don’t forget to check out our review of Loki’s fifth episode.
Journey Into Mystery
The giant, smokey monster known as Alioth the Usurper is a Marvel Comics villain with ties to Kang the Conqueror, who just happens to be an upcoming MCU baddie set to appear as the villain in Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, played by Jonathan Majors. The creature first debuted in 1993’s Avengers: The Terminatrix Objective #1, starring Kang and his love interest Terminatrix. In the comics, Terminatrix is the alias of Ravonna Renslayer, who in the Loki show we know as a TVA judge.
Yellowjacket’s Helmet
As the Lokis approach their hideout, the infamous Thanos-Copter makes a brief appearance. This is a reference to the comic book Spidey Super Stories #39 from 1979 where Spider-Man and Hellcat battled Thanos, and the Mad Titan pursued the heroes in a yellow helicopter branded with his own name. It has since become a fan-favorite joke that has spawned memes, action figures, and now a place in MCU lore.
Frog Thor aka Throg Cameo and Mjolnir
As the Lokis swap stories in their hideout, we see they’re sipping on some fine RoxxiWine. The company Roxxon (an evil corporation from Marvel Comics) was featured in Episode 2 when Loki and the TVA tracked Sylvie to a Roxxmart fated for destruction. Perhaps this RoxxiWine comes from that very store.
