[00:01] on Loki's TVA ID badge in the Avengers Doomsday trailer. After all, finding Doomsday trailer. After all, finding Loki Easter eggs is my glorious purpose. Boss. And in this week's Avengers Doomsday trailer, one of the major
[00:14] changes added to the trailer after the version I saw at Cinemon in April was might be the most telling and most meaningful shot in the trailer. The more you look into it, and my big breakdown video, I clocked how the person holding
[00:26] the same wedding band that we see on Doomsday teaser released in December confirming that Loki is taking the form of a TVA analyst as he visits the house of Steve Rogers, the house where he
[00:38] But there is a fuller context to what this scene means that we need to dig the design of the badge and the specific number we see on it. So, let us dive in. By the way, we have so many cool new shirts available at our merch store nerd
[00:52] riot.shop shop like this Ned themed guy in the chair shirt or this awesome new immovable Doom design inspired by this huge moment from the trailer. We always love it when our viewers take selfies wearing our gear and tag us like Andrew
[01:04] rocking our Josie shirt. Thanks, Andrew. Looking good. Nerd Dad Shop. It's the to support new rockstars. All right, I love that Marvel Studios added a 2-cond feel like it was just for me because 6 years ago when the very first look at
[01:18] secondond shot in a 30se secondond Disney Plus 2020 Super Bowl promo burn this all to the ground. I seriously did make a 9-minute video about those 3 going to find 3,000 words to say about this. Lkey appears in this trailer
[01:33] wearing his TVA analyst uniform with the tie, the button-down collar, and this jacket. And we only saw him wearing this fully in one episode of the series, Mobius made him dress this way as a variant on the back of his jacket,
[01:46] assisting the TVA and tracking down his variant, Sylvie, in the various eaves of apocalyptic events. After teaming up with Sylvie, Loki would lose a jacket time slipping back through his own TVA history in the later episodes of season
[01:59] consciousness could have drifted back to this period. We love when the whole is Peanut butter and chocolate, great on their own, but a peanut butter cup is something more entirely. Playing games on your phone and earning money, both

[03:06] in the house of Steve Rogers. The house that he stayed in with Peggy Carter at saw Steve riding up to in the first Doomsday Steve Rogers will return teaser where Steve cradles his baby. That's definitely Steve's hand holding the TVA
[03:20] and the tree outside the window behind Tom Hiddston in that shot are all part of that same house. So from this we have to assume that Loki as the current god of stories holding all the strands of time or stories is using that grip to
[03:33] peer into one of those stories and duplication cast or just project himself down into the story of Steve Rogers in this new multiversal sacred timeline to inform Steve of the risk that Steve incurred by changing history and staying
[03:46] in the past with Peggy Carter in 1948. When all four of those December teasers Instagram called them not teasers but stories. And I think this Loki connection is what they were referring to. Thor praying to his all father Odin
[03:59] love to spare her from the storm. Seen and answered by Loki. Professor X and Magneto talking about death comes for us all. That's all I know for sure. The The question is who would you be when
[04:12] you close your eyes? That's a story seen and answered by Loki. SH talking about people for the afterlife, but she has a mission of her own. Seen and answered by Loki. But if Loki appears to Steve Rogers in this disguised form, you could
[04:25] say, "And what form will he appear to Thor to answer Thor's prayers and theory that I'm going to get into at the end of this video that kind of answers this question. But why wouldn't Loki in his new zen-like state just be okay with
[04:38] a slightly messy variation of the secret timeline when it's now in a more chaotic anyway? Well, I think for Loki, what Steve does here is so disruptive to the he has to intervene. that there are consequences that Steve cannot see.
[04:53] Von Doom losing his wife and child. Actually, this is probably what the said this. >> Remove one of the stones and that flow splits. Now, this may benefit your reality, but my new one, not so much.
[05:09] Without our chief weapon against the forces of darkness, our world would be overrun. Now, there is a potentially crazy detail that could be tied back in here. In the very first episode of the Loki series from all the way back in
[05:21] June 2021, a background detail that we at New Rockstars found crazy enough that for that video was a possible sighting of a Peggy Carter variant being arrested and brought into the TVA. Now, it was never confirmed to be Peggy Carter, but
[05:34] how crazy would it be if in this doomsday scene, God of Stories Loki has to just begrudgingly deploy some TVA agents to arrest Peggy Carter to try to explain to Steve why it was so necessary. I mean, either way, it's
[05:47] Loki to Steve Rogers. Because from Steve's perspective, Loki was just the madman adopted brother of Thor who invaded Earth in the year 2012, tried to kneel, then killed scores of people
[06:00] Loki's redemption plot from Thor Ragnarok to Avengers Infinity War. The last time Steve saw Loki, it was during the time heist when 2012 Loki was deliberately mocking Steve. And then on the ground level, when 2012 Hulk knocked
[06:13] feet and Loki used a tesseract to escape, which is how B5 and the TVA hunters found him in Mongolia and labeled him variant L1130, the Loki we again, a Loki that Steve Rogers never got to see. So, from Steve's
[06:27] disappeared and then shows up at Steve's house pretending to be more empathetic as the head of some bizarre multiversal time bureaucracy that Steve never would have heard of before. And the way Loki is doing it is with this card, this ID
[06:40] badge. On the back of that badge, that's the vertically oriented sacred timeline that Loki now oversees in the shape of the Erso world tree of Asgardian mythology. The tree of timelines. the TVA posters in the older era when Kang
[06:53] things did have some trees and branches as part of the analogies on their posters. But the full tree and all of its glorious branches seen on this card is clearly a reflection of the new era after Loki's revolution. Whereas all the
[07:06] to be glowing, thriving, and continuous. I find it interesting now that in this badge's design, so many of the roots and branches seem to end in little nodes, which we could see as branches of time that were clipped or pruned before or
[07:19] after they passed through Keebler or elf Loki in the trunk of the tree. Or we could see it as the fruit of the branches or the root vegetables of the roots as healthy orbs or worlds that the best of these timelines blossomed into.
[07:32] more order and structure to this tree of time than the one Loki was holding Steve flips over the card, we see it has the TVA logo and a time variance authority label at the top and this hilarious goofy ID photo of Loki. Now,
[07:47] never poses for or takes a photo like this in any of the 12 episodes of the Loki series. This is a new photo that Loki has taken using the TVA's offices But also, I might be wrong, but I'm pretty sure Tom Hiddston is doing an
[08:01] impression of the expression Tom Holland made for Peter Parker's passport photo Spider-Man Far From Home. Remember the passport where we learned Peter was born just made the goofiest, least threatening smile he could for an ID
[08:15] Steve and other Avengers when he reintroduced himself to them. But now, let's talk about the number 414-62071412.
[08:28] else. It could be a contact number or a phone number as a way to reach Loki. would be able to reach the TVA through any normal wired telephone. But in the scene takes place, there would be only
[08:42] that Steve could use. And since the Loki series dwells in real world conspiracy theories explained away by TVA interference, I like this idea that by right combination of numbers, we could reach the front desk of the TVA and
[08:55] transferred to another department and OB would yell at us for bothering him. You'll notice this begins with three digits 414, which could be an area code. That is the area code of Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Milwaukee was one of the
[09:07] stops on Steve Rogers USO tour in the 2011 Captain America film. The same tour the camera flashed that we all assumed was the woman Steve Rogers lost his She-Hulk. As for the other numbers, this Reddit post on the New Rockstars
[09:21] subreddit by you turbulent ad1148 did an interesting breakdown theorizing on them. This person saying 414 could be a time code reference to 4 minutes 14 seconds in the 2012 Avengers movie, the exact timestamp for Loki's arrival
[09:33] through the tesseract portal. 62071 could be a reference to July 1st, 1962 for Dr. Doom's first comic appearance in Fantastic 4 number 5, which carries a July cover date. And 40122 could be for
[09:48] December 20th, 1940, the first published appearance by Steve Rogers in Captain America Comics number one, which hit the news stands on that date. So, this is that the number isn't a phone number. It's a case number for who's making the
[10:01] visit, Loki 414. What the visit is about, Doom 62071, and who is being visited, Steve Rogers, 40122, agent matter site. Now, do I think the Russo brothers or even the screenwriters thought this hard about this prop? No,
[10:15] thing prop masters who actually build and design these props and decide what over. Whether or not these numbers were intentional, I do think this is what this visit between Loki and Steve is all about. God of Stories Loki is warning
[10:28] Endgame created an incursion that leads to Dr. Doom. And if I'm right that Steve is currently in the 828 universe of the Fantastic 4, it's this visit from Loki that leads Steve to seek out the Fantastic 4 as the smartest team of
[10:41] problem, which is how Steve would end up on their ship with Thor. Or is this really Steve? Here's the theory that I teased earlier. I know many are final shot of Steve Rogers in the trailer. In yesterday's video, I brought
[10:55] up the Captain Hydra theory and why I think Captain Hydra could still be in this movie, but I just don't think it's him in this shot. Yes, there's a whole Hydra could summon Mjolnir, and some are arguing that Captain Hydra does wield
[11:08] Mjolnir in his alternate history of the Secret Empire comics, but in that different definition to moral character than worthiness has in the MCU. But there is another brother out there to Thor who would at this point be worthy
[11:23] to wield Mjolnir. Worthy in a particular way for Thor to consider him back alive again and catching Mjolnir to be in his words not possible. And a brother who has in multiple times in MCU history used his sorcery to masquerade as Steve
[11:35] Rogers. Yes, the theory many are discussing is that this Steve is actually a disguise put on via sorcery by Loki. I mean, Loki did take on the appearance of Steve Rogers in Thor: The Dark World and in Avengers Endgame
[11:47] heist. We know that Chris Evans loves playing Tom Hson's Loki playing him. And with the sun so prominently on the faces of these two men, is this not a you, brother, the sun will shine on us again? I do love this theory, but now
[12:02] that we're pretty sure that this shot of Sam, Bucky, and Scott in the Avengers Rogers in the foreground to the left of it, I don't know why Loki would continue these multiple scenes when he's trying to win the trust of a whole group of
[12:16] that whole time would complicate his message to this diverse group of people. And it would reassign character choices from Tom Hiddston, an amazing actor, to throughout multiple scenes. So, one moment of Loki pretending to be Steve in
[12:30] the movie. I can see that. Multiple scenes harder for me to buy. Comment this. And a special thanks to one of our NR Underground subscribers, Frederick executive producer level. You can get all of our exclusive bonus content by
