Loki on the Sacred Timeline with his TVA family in Loki season 2
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Long before Loki made them integral to the MCU, the Time Variance Authority were introduced as a satirical jab at Marvel itself. Creator Walt Simonson confirmed this in a post online, in which he paid a tribute to late writer and editor Marc Gruenwald, who served as the visual basis for Mobius M. Mobius' character design.
Related 1 X-Men Hero TERRIFIES the MCU's Time Variance Authority The Time Variance Authority were a formidable force in the MCU's Loki series, but one member of the X-Men strikes fear into their hearts. I originally created the TVA as something of a satire of Marvel Comics, which was becoming more corporate at that time. Part of the story structure was that we never saw any top level executives. The employers I showed - the Time Monitors - were faceless.
The satirical origin of the Time Variance Authority was, as Walt Simonson describes it, an in-joke at his own company's expense – but in retrospect, it contains great insight into the trajectory of the comic book industry over the last several decades. Not only did Simonson recognize the corporate future of Marvel, he also unwittingly tapped into future generations' obsession with continuity.
Audiences are trained to identify satire that is brash, biting, and confrontational, but it just as often comes in more subtle forms. It is not always a bold indictment of something the writer is against; in many cases, satire functions as a sly "if you know, you know" signal from an author to a certain subset of readers.
