In his younger years, he and Loki were very close and good friends, even if occasionally irritated by Loki's mischief. However, it is later revealed that Loki was often jealous of Thor even back then, and resented being left in his "shadow".
While Loki and Thor did, by heart, truly love each other as brothers, their intention to rule Asgard made them fierce rivals. However, Thor evolved himself by learning that a true leader doesn't start wars or seek to conquer other territories, while Loki sought to control the world and gain more power over others.
Loki often hid a degree of jealousy that Thor was to become King, and felt that Odin perhaps favoured Thor over him. As Thor was always the center of attention, Loki found himself longing for a spotlight over the years, which manifested itself in extreme attention-seeking behaviour.
He has friends, not merely people he manipulates. And if he doesn't act they will all die too. And so Loki finally finds his glorious purpose — he sacrifices himself to save the universe, but more importantly to save the people he has come to care about.
Loki has changed role and aspect many times, but he is still mostly remembered as Thor's antithesis, his resentful adoptive brother who grew up to hate the God of Thunder. One of the reasons for Loki's bitterness is that Odin always favored his "real" son, Thor, during their childhood.
Loki is Thor's adopted brother and the Asgardian god of mischief. In his younger years, he and Loki were very close and good friends, even if occasionally irritated by Loki's mischief. However, it is later revealed that Loki was often jealous of Thor even back then, and resented being left in his "shadow".
What is Loki the god of? Loki is considered a trickster god, known for being neither fully good nor evil since his main aim was always to create chaos. Despite his father being a giant, he is still counted a member of the Aesir—a tribe of deities including Odin, Frigg, Tyr, and Thor.
In the films, his most prominent relationships are with his family, notably his adoptive brother Thor (see: Thorki) and his adoptive mother, Queen Frigga. In his TV series, Loki and a female version of himself called Sylvie fall in love (see: Sylki) and their relationship becomes a prominent point of the show.
Loki has seemingly appeared in every Thor-centric story of the last decade (or at least his presence is felt) and has overshadowed his brother every time.
This caused Thor to send lightning towards them, toppling the mine on top of them. Loki apologized and confessed, saying he only thought of the challenge to get the Cup and gain as much respect as Thor. His brother forgave him and found a way out of the mine.
Some people utterly believe that Loki sacrificed himself for his brother's sake, and the truth is his actions and words alone were very telling: he loves Thor, he always has, and though both have had their disagreements and misadventures, they would without question die for each other in the end.
How is Thor 500 years older than Loki? Thor Odinson himself said he is around 1500 years old at the time of the events of Infinity War (2018), and MCU fandom wiki mentions Loki's year of birth as 965 AD, hence he would be 1055 years old at the time of his death in 2018. So, Thor is around 445 years older than Loki.
In his exile, Odin apparently thought over all the acts he had done and likely felt remorse over them, as he showed no hostility towards Loki and even noted Frigga would be proud of him. He also admitted that he truly loved both of his sons and expressed remorse for failing to stop Ragnarök.
Odin favoured Thor literally since they were babies. Odin admits in the first Thor that he intended Loki to be the link between Frost Giants and Asgard, yet he still raised his sons to hate Frost Giants. Loki would never have been the God of Mischief if not for Odins favoritism.
The spell was permanent, making it so Loki only reverted to having blue skin when touching a Frost Giant or one of their artifacts. Since Loki's appearance was a spell, not just an illusion, it could not be broken or reversed by Odin's death.
Loki , the God of Mischief , has captured the hearts of many with his charming personality and complex character development . Unlike his brother Thor , who is often portrayed as a traditional hero with brute strength , Loki 's cunning and unpredictable nature make him a more intriguing and dynamic character .
Hela despises anyone who stands in her way and will gladly eliminate all who stand in her way to ruling the Nine Realms and beyond, specifically Heimdall, Thor, Loki and Valkyrie, as well as outsiders like Hulk, Korg, Miek, and the world-crushing demon Surtur.
Loki's third wife was his most devoted Sigyn who stayed with Loki through everything and gave birth to two sons whom the gods cruelly slain and the other turned into a wolf. Sigyn stayed by Loki to catch all the poison in a bowl so they would not drip onto Loki's face.
Only in the MCU* actually. He has appeared in 4 Marvel movies - that's as many appearances as The Hulk - clearly making him the most popular villain in the MCU if nothing else.
This stemmed from his childhood and the belief that Odin didn't love him. While Odin's hiding of Loki's true parentage and Thor's demeaning behavior may have influenced Loki, ultimately he is to blame for his villainous actions due to his own issues with self-acceptance and misinterpretation of his upbringing.
By saving and organizing every existing timeline, Loki has become the God of Time — a higher being who keeps the past, present, and future of every universe from being erased by outside forces. However, Loki has also become the God of Stories, as he has placed everybody's personal journey above his own.
Thor : Loki, I thought the world of you. I thought we were going to fight side-by-side forever, but at the end of the day you're you and I'm me and... oh, maybe there's still good in you but... let's be honest, our paths diverged a long time ago.
In the Marvel Cinematic Universe , Loki used his powers of illusion and manipulation to control Thor . In the first Thor movie , Loki tricks Thor into believing he is Odin and banishes him to Earth .
Loki says that Odin does a poor job in handing out honor in war to men, and that he's often given victory to the faint-hearted. Odin responds that even if this is true, Loki (in a story otherwise unattested) once spent eight winters beneath the earth as a woman milking cows, and during this time bore children.
