Loki Episode 3 Includes Amazing Portal Easter Egg

Loki Episode 3 actually includes a sly Portal Easter Egg. For those not aware, Portal is a puzzle video game created by Valve in 2007. The kind of dimensional hopping shenanigans in Loki pair quite well with that adventure from The Orange Box. Much has been made of our protagonist tumbling through the decidedly rectangular portals from the TVA. But, the credits for the episode show that this universe's riff on instantaneous travel is a bit more drastic than the one from the late aughts. A piece of signage in the TVA shows how the person traveling through a portal can run the risk of being separated from their appendages if they're not quick about it. On Twitter, @cloutmeadows went ahead and did the side-by-side comparison for the people playing at home. It's important to note that the portals in the MCU here are only orange instead of pairing with blue ones.
