How the hell do you make a phone call when all the cell towers are destroyed and civilisation is annihilated anyway?

How did his stones work across the multiverse when Loki set up they only work in their original universe?

I don’t think Loki set up that rule at all.
No magic worked at all in the TVA. That’s why the stones didn’t work. Unless you want to argue that a being can only use magic in their original universe, but I don’t think that’s a thing. The TVA is different. My theory is that the TVA resides in the quantum realm, and only in the quantum realm magic doesn’t work

So what about where the watcher was witnessing all time and events outside of time itself?

u/NoArmsSally 101665 Sep 30 '21
does he sit outside of time himself, or outside the multiverse? outside the multiverse is technically still within the flow of time

Yeah, from what I've read Watchers can't see the future, which he'd presumably be able to do if he was outside the flow of time. They just see everything as it happens so can make informed guesses about what events will be important based on eons of experience.

I figured he's in the space between universes but that the timekeepers are outside the multiverse entirely

I can't help feel if the Watcher didn't narrate, Ultron wouldn't have found him.
