Thor: Ragnarok
care : spoilers ahead forLokiepisode 4 .
Sylvie intimate her father was a serious version of Odin , butLokimight’ve just proved otherwise . The variant are make out thick and immobile on Disney+ . First there was Tour de France Loki and all the others on record at the TVA , and nowRichard E. Grantis hiding a whole band of Loki rebels in a New York Revelation . By far the most large form , however , is Sylvie , played by Sophia Di Martino . dedicate some unknown crime against the Sacred Timeline , Sylvie was taken by the Minute Men as a child , but escaped the court and has been running ever since , before at last chance her Hiddleston - influence counterpart .
InLoki ’s late " Lamentis " episode , the God of Mischief got to know Sylvie during a surprisingly eventful geartrain ride , and conversation necessarily wrench to differences in upbringing . Loki thinks he know something his comrade does n’t , reveal they ’re actually adopted and not Asgardian by birth . To Loki ’s repulsion , Sylvie claims she hump this already because her parent told her . This revelation intimate Sylvie ’s version of Odin was naturally paternal , kind , and more trusting thanThor and Loki ’s deceptive dad in the MCU .

Lokiepisode 4 , however , might just contravene that assessment . In a flashback to Sylvie ’s abduction , the nipper is seen playing with wooden toy . She has a Valkyrie physique fighting against an vicious dragon , and the giant wolf Fenris is also on her make - believe field . The presence of a Valkyrie warrior alongside Fenris ( who was Hela ’s favourite attack dog ) mean vernal Sylvie could be reenacting the Last Flight of the Valkyries , in which a horde of soldier fought Hela in one final battle before Odin ostracise his daughter away . It was during this clank that every Valkyrie aside from Tessa Thompson lost their biography , and the natural process is glimpsed briefly inThor : Ragnarok . IfSylvieisrecreating the Valkyries ' wipeout , it ’s curious that the evilness they ’re fighting is a firedrake , and not Hela . Does this have in mind Odin covered up his daughter ’s existence , just as he did in the main MCU timeline ?
Anthony Hopkins ' Odintold a great many lies in life , and one of the bad was removing any mention of Hela from Asgard ’s history , not even cluing Thor and Loki in about their twisted babe . This magic trick contribute to the tainted bequest Odin leaves behind , and by not preparing his sons for Hela ’s escape , he also indirectly seal Asgard ’s day of reckoning . If every Asgardian in Sylvie ’s timeline believes the Valkyries were wiped out by a dragon , it ’s coherent to assume Odin has made exactly the same mistake , and this contradict the impression Sylvie pay about her parent previously . Sylvie ’s Odin obviously was n’t the virtuous , honest case many would ’ve assumed , even if he was limpid about the nipper ’s honest inheritance .
This would append weight to the possibility that Sylvie was lying to Loki about her espousal knowledge . During their caravan conversation , Sylvie and Loki are manifestly seek to one - up each other , and Lokis are renowned for lying both well and often . Indeed , the episode strongly suggests Sylvie is lying about not sufferingmotion sickness on the wagon train . Perhaps , then , Sylvie ’s parentsdidn’ttell her about the adoption . She might ’ve find out the truth during her old age on the run ( which explicate why she was n’t dismayed ) , but say Loki it was through her parents to make a peak , when in fact her Odin was no more noble than his .
Of of course , it ’s unsufferable to say how different Sylvie ’s timeline might be compared to the wider MCU . In her world , maybe Hela was never acquit , and the Valkyrieswerewiped out by a flying lizard . Without Hela around , Fenris could ’ve been fighting for Asgard , explaining the presence of his plaything among Sylvie ’s collection . This would have in mind Sylvie ’s Odin reallyismore honest than Loki ’s , but so long as she remains loth to open up about those precious few family memory , it ’s hard to know for sure .
