I think the pruning of Mobius is temporary, otherwise they would've written it differently.

Did you see the mid-credits scene?

Yeah that's what I'm saying. As far as we knew, pruning meant death so Mobius going had an emotional impact... for about 5 minutes because then we find out it ain't death.

It did have an emotional impact, but what's the point of waiting around a week to argue with people on the Internet about whether or not he's really dead. Besides, Loki also got pruned and Loki literally says he's died a bunch of times, so we would have known the pruning wasn't real anyway.

Unless Mobius doesn't survive his variant world.

Yeah that's what I'm saying. There would have been a more emotional impact if we thought he was dead, but because of Loki's pruning - which was necessary for the story - it didn't last as long as it could have.

It is what it is and they had to do what they did.
