Warning: SPOILERS ahead for Loki episode 2!

A line from Loki episode 2 suggests the God of Mischief shares a similar opinion in line with Baron Helmut Zemo's argument against Super Soldiers in The Falcon and the Winter Soldier. Whereas Daniel Brühl's Zemo reprised his role to team up with Sam Wilson (Anthony Mackie)and Bucky Barnes (Sebastian Stan), Tom Hiddleston's Loki is back in the spotlight for his own Disney+ series. Interestingly, both characters now have a history of being antiheroes, and their mindset on certain matters between good and evil seems to match.

In Loki episode 2, titled "The Variant," Hiddleston's character reluctantly joins Agent Mobius' (Owen Wilson) mission in the hopes of acquiring a meeting with the Time-Keepers. While investigating the Loki variant wreaking havoc within the universe, Mobius gets to know the real Loki a little better. It's still clear the Time Variance Authority can't fully trust the master trickster, but it's obvious he has insight and knowledge that could benefit the case. The TVA believes they are tracking down another Loki, after all.

When discussing order and chaos, the blurred line between good and bad comes up in discussion. Loki goes on to state, "no one good is ever truly good" after saying how "no one bad is ever truly bad." His statement directly connects with Zemo's motivations for eliminating the Flag-Smashers in The Falcon and the Winter Soldier. Zemo made it his mission to stop the distribution of the Super Soldier serum, believing its power only corrupted those who use it. Though he had villainous tendencies, he wasn't completely wrong, considering the dark history surrounding the serum going wrong. The actions of the Flag-Smashers and John Walker (Wyatt Russell) went on to prove Zemo's opinion on the matter.

Loki Episode 2 Loki and Mobius Arguing

When Dr. Abraham Erksine (Stanley Tucci) gave Steve Rogers (Chris Evans) the serum, he told the soon-to-be Captain America: "The serum amplifies everything that is inside. So, good becomes great. Bad becomes worse. This is why you were chosen." That wasn't the case for many of the other figures injected with the serum, leading to a sense of supremacy that Zemo recognized. While most struggled with corruption and the pull between good and evil, Steve became the Super Solider anomaly. Loki seems to agree with the sentiment that most people aren't truly altruistic regarding their motivations. While he may have been talking about the decisions of others, he was also describing himself.

Though Zemo will never be able to reach full redemption, he was shown in another light during The Falcon and the Winter Soldier. On the other hand, Loki was on his redemption journey leading up to his death at the hands of Thanos in Avengers: Infinity War. Seeing as the God of Mischief at the center of Loki is from another timeline, he hasn't reached those levels of redemption, so he's still a major wildcard in the eyes of the TVA. His statement on how nobody is truly good or bad is just a reminder to Mobius and the viewers why chaos seems to follow Loki around no matter what timeline he enters.
