In Avengers: Endgame, we saw how the Avengers messed with time, stole the Infinity Stones, and sent the Tesseract in front of him. Now, what do you expect from a child sitting in front of chocolates? You know the answer; Loki did the same. Then, how did Loki end up only in the TVA and not with any of the Avengers? Such double standards!

My question is: if Loki deserved to face trial for creating a new timeline branch, shouldn’t Tony Stark, Steve Rogers, and the rest of the Avengers have faced the same consequences? After all, their time heist caused far more disruptions than Loki’s single escape.

However, the TVA’s decision wasn’t an entirely unfair one, according to Tom Hiddleston, and maybe Time-Keepers knew something about the future; others didn’t.

Why Were The Heroes Of Avengers: Endgame Spared By TVA?

To understand the TVA’s decision, we need to go back to the scene of the time heist in Avengers: Endgame. After Thanos wiped out half of the universe, Earth’s Mightiest Heroes came up with a plan to reverse the damage by collecting the Infinity Stones from different points in the past.

Tony Stark, Steve Rogers, and the rest of the team traveled through their previous adventures and created new timeline branches along the way. As we already know, Loki also escaped with the Tesseract during one of their time heists.

Here, we are talking about the Loki who didn’t experience redemption and planned to escape using the Tesseract. But surprisingly, the Time Variance Authority had different plans for him. The TVA captured Loki almost immediately and brought him in for a trial. But why did Loki have to go through all this when the Avengers remained unaffected?

Loki actor Tom Hiddleston gave the perfect answer to this question to The Direct in 2021 when he said, “The TVA has predetermined what happens in the past, the present, and the future in a straight line”. This means the Time-Keepers already knew how events were supposed to play out across the Sacred Timeline.

The TVA’s decision becomes even more interesting when we consider how the Avengers’ time heist ended. After collecting the Infinity Stones and defeating Thanos, Steve Rogers returned to the past to put the stones back in their original places. His mission was to prevent the alternate timelines created by removing the stones from becoming permanent problems.

And if the TVA already knew how events would unfold, it would also have known that Steve intended to fix the damage. So, Captain America was doing part of the TVA’s job for it. Maybe because the Avengers’ interference was for the greater good, it was acceptable to the TVA. Loki, however, wasn’t interested in fixing anything. And that’s where the connection to Avengers: Doomsday becomes more evident.

Now that Doctor Doom is entering the picture, the question of who gets to change history and who gets punished for it could become very relevant. The Avengers were allowed to interfere with time because their actions were probably necessary for Doom to come into the picture. Will the TVA be so fair with Doom too?

Of course, there’s still no confirmation from Marvel that the TVA’s decision in Endgame will directly influence Doomsday; there’s still a possibility.
