Just watched Ep2. Getting some Dr Who vibes with that episode. I remember when Hiddlestone was touted for the Dr Who role. - He doesnt need it now with this.

edit: but didn't Endgame suggest there were different timelines when they travelled in time? I'm confused how this works and the rules they're establishing. And thinking about it, didn't the Avengers cause timeline branching by strawberry floating about with time travel. Why didn't the TVA show up?
The whole thing in
Endgame was
they would bring the stones back to the same moment they took them from, so it wouldn't create an alternate timeline. I think Tilda Swinton chats to Banner about it all. I'm not sure how far along the timeline needs to get before they decide that it's a variant line, though.
They said in episode 1 that the Avengers were allowed to do it. Which I guess means that their "branch" was actually the sacred timeline all along.
So do the TVA remove the alternate timelines as they are created?
The Avengers didn't really create any alternates*, in the same way as Loki at Pompeii, they were in the past but didn't alter anything.
*this falls apart with Captain America. Wibbly wobbly timey wimey.
Pretty much this.
I think all other outcomes probably ended in the extinction of human life on earth at the end of Endgame. So what the Avengers did was part of the main timeline, and everything else was like Pompeii - no variants -Endgame.
Capt America probably didnt make any waves. Theres the bit in Winter Soldier where Peggy has altzheimers, maybe she was faking it. Maybe it was another bit that makes winter soldier a great film.

There is almost certainly different dimensions within the same timeline (Doctor Strange had several for example) so maybe those are different versions of Loki in different dimensions. It is a little confusing though, I agree. I think we need Basil Exposition to set us all right.
My guess is that Loki has perhaps had access to the tesseract, mind stone etc for quite some time
and so when he decides to branch off on some mischief with it, it creates a variant.
