Loki’s season 2 premiere has a credits scene with a lovely Marvel Comics Easter egg

polygon.com:

You never know when a Marvel or even Star Wars TV show is going to spring a post-credits scene on you these days, and Loki’s season 2 premiere episode is no different.

What’s fun about this particular scene is the hat tip it makes to a much-beloved era of Thor comics, in a time when Asgard was very different than the way it’s depicted in the MCU.

It was a period in which Ragnarok had finally wiped out the Asgardians, and Thor had just fought his way back from the void, only to find the spirits of his people had been embodied in human form with no knowledge of their godly origin.

From 2007’s Thor #1 until 2014’s Thor: God of Thunder #24, the Asgardians retained a special relationship with Broxton’s citizens, and Asgard remained a floating city above a small town in the American Southwest.
