How was Loki not meant to escape in Endgame?
In Loki, Judge Renslayer says that he was never meant to escape, but what the Avengers did while traveling through time was all meant to happen. We later learn that He Who Remains paved the road for Loki to arrive before him, so that begs the question: did the Avengers succeed in walking away with the Tesseract in the sacred timeline every other time?
Time is linear, it’s a loop. If what the Avengers did was supposed to happen but Loki escaping was not, then does that mean in every other instance in which these events play out, Hulk never bursts through the door, knocks Tony down, and gives Loki a chance to escape? If this is how the events play out in every instance, then it wouldn’t make sense to say Loki wasn’t meant to escape.
How would they have avoided Hulk smashing through the staircase in the original flow of events in the sacred timeline? Maybe Tony was just slightly faster and got passed the door before Hulk busts through? All of this means that if the events of Endgame aren’t actually what is meant to happen, as a result of Loki escaping, then Tony and Steve going back further in time wasn’t actually part of the sacred timeline.
On another note, I still don’t understand how Steve lived out his life in the past given what we know about the TVA, and I don’t think the Russos know either.
