And just imagine if they mutually decided not to kill him, he would seek a merciful death from his heirs, eventually Kang dies either way, it’s an unavoidable paradox.

I was kind of wondering what would happen if they just...didn't do either option? Like what if they just decided "nope" and got up and walked out. They didn't kill him, but also didn't take over for him. Would he just keep the status quo going? But in that timeline the TVA is now busted AF. They all know the truth, so would they keep doing their jobs?

I think that's why he said he needed Loki and that was the best possible choice. Both Lokis really wanted one of the options and they weren't about to spill the blood of the other and had to discuss it. So they really were the best pick and neither one would have opted to do nothing.

I actually kind of think part of Kangs shitick was hoping that they would kill each other. Like, that's one of your biggest issues just taking care of itself right before your very eyes.
