WARNING: The following contains spoilers for the Season 1 finale of Loki, "For All Time. Always.," streaming now on Disney+.

As charming as Chris Pratt's Star-Lord is, many fans still haven't gotten over his spectacular failure in Avengers: Infinity War when he ruined the heroes' best chance to pry the Infinity Gauntlet from Thanos. Well, After Loki's finale, fans are drawing a parallel between him and another character whose desire for revenge led to horrible consequences: Sylvie. However, as easy as it is to make, it's not a fair comparison.

Loki's Season 1 finale gave its protagonists a fateful choice: they could either replace the man behind the TVA, He Who Remains, or kill him and deal with the fallout of his death. But taking over would've meant maintaining a status quo that victimized them both, and in Sylvie's case, for most of her life. And while Loki prioritized Sylvie over what He Who Remains was offering, Sylvie stuck to her guns and killed the man behind her suffering.

By killing He Who Remains, Sylvie accepted that she could be creating chaos in the Sacred Timeline, including the threat of a Multiversal War between his less benevolent variants. However, while Sylvie's actions opened the door for Thanos's heir apparent to take power, they're different from Star-Lord's. Star-Lord's decision to attack Thanos before his allies had the Infinity Gauntlet off his hand came in the heat of the moment, being an impulsive reaction to learning that the Mad Titan had sacrificed Gamora's life for the Soul Stone. And bad as it was, it was also understandable given the situation.

Sylvie's decision also makes perfect sense for her character. While her feelings for Loki were genuine, they weren't enough to make her abandon her mission against the TVA. After everything she'd been through, both before and during the events of Loki, sparing He Who Remains and taking his place in the TVA wouldn't have made sense. She also had no reason to give He Who Remains the benefit of the doubt. His erratic behavior made it easy for Sylvie to go with her gut instinct and consider him a liar, and it didn't help his case that he admitted to using deceitful methods to maintain the TVA.

It's also hard to blame Sylvie for having a hard time believing that Loki actually cares about her more than having his throne. There's a natural skepticism that comes in dealing with the God of Mischief, and after so many years of relying on herself alone, it makes sense that she refused to give him the chance to pull the rug out from under her.

Furthermore, the consequences of Sylvie's actions are different than Star-Lord's in another significant way. While Star-Lord's outburst allowed Thanos to continue on his quest to wipe out half of the universe, it wasn't the last opportunity someone had to stop him. In Sylvie's case, there was no one else between her and He Who Remains after she sent Loki back to the TVA, meaning she has to take full responsibility for what happened. As a victim of the Blip, Star-Lord didn't return until the final battle with Thanos, when everyone had bigger priorities than blaming him. Sylvie's fate won't be clear until Season 2 of Loki, but it's hard to believe she'll be given the same opportunity to sit out the consequences of her actions.

To see how Sylvie deals with the fallout of killing He Who Remains, tune into Season 2 of Loki on Disney+.
