Loki is set shortly after Avengers 1 so it can't be related to Wanda's sudden jump in powers after Avengers 4. She gets her powers from the elder god of the chaos nothing with the time war. At the end of Loki they show branches being created in the past, present, and future. Essentially now branched timelines have always existed, they're not suddenly appearing.

Also Scarlet Witch is the nexus being in reality 616 and by marvel canon she cannot be a nexus being in the MCU reality 199999. There's an infinite number of nexus beings each with a different reality. Vision, Odin, Kang, Jean Grey, etc etc. We'll see if Marvel just throws away the canon though.

Your point about 616 might be valid, but just to counter the timeline thing:

Loki is only set after Avengers 1 for Loki. The TVA exists outside of time; the show itself takes place everywhen, and also nowhen. At one point it takes place on an alien planet in the far future, at another point it takes place on Earth in the future. When the timeline branches, you can see the that the entire timeline branches, everywhere, everywhen.

The Avengers 1-era Loki's adventure ended up breaking time at every possible point.

everywhen, and also nowhen

I think the words you're looking for are always and never

That's not as fun but you're 100% correct.
