While Loki did not originally know the circumstances of his adoption by Odin, he grew up feeling like an outsider, even in his family. He enjoyed a close relationship with his mother and confessed on several occasions to loving his brother, Thor, but he never really trusted in Odin's love.
This hurts Loki who, despite everything, also deeply loves his brother. Thor and Loki would eventually fully reconcile after the destruction of Asgard, but they are found by Thanos right after.
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 and Thor's brotherly relationship, though sometimes highly turbulent, is incredibly nurturing in its own way; it is clear that both characters deeply care for each other no matter how much they try to hide it.
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.
Upon learning his true parentage, Loki feels anger and betrayal for Odin's deception, believing the Allfather saw him as a monster never meant for the Asgardian throne. This fuels his unrelenting jealousy of Thor and feelings of inferiority.
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 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 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.
This interrupted Thor's coronation and was part of Loki's overall plan. He later revealed that he did this simply to mess with his brother Thor on what should have been his big day on Asgard.
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.
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.
As Frigga stated, "everything he does, he does with a purpose." He loved Thor but when Thor went to Jotunheim and nearly started a war in the process, he exiled Thor to Earth, to teach him what it meant to be a good warrior and a hero, as well as to bolster his humility.
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.
Surtur is reborn and destroys Asgard, killing Hela. Aboard the Grandmaster's spaceship, the Statesman, Thor, now king, reconciles with Loki and decides to take his people to Earth.
The majority of storylines surrounding Loki in the Marvel Cinematic Universe had to do with his father issues. He was always insecure over how Odin didn't love him as much as he did Thor, with this eventually morphing into contempt for his father.
He always hated Balder, and when Balder became virtually unkillable, he found a loophole and tricked Balder's own brother into killing him. And he and Heimdall never got along. They fought constantly over the years, and eventually, kill each other at Ragnarok. Does Loki really hate Thor?
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.
Along with the recent surge in Hollywood popularity, Loki's character has received more scholarly attention than any other Norse figure in the past 100 years. This is mainly due to his omnipresence and ambiguity in several important surviving mythological documents.
Here, holding on to all of the timelines, he became a kind of tree god, physically representing the Norse tree of life, Yggdrasil. It was a poignant and painful ending for Loki, who now seems to be sentenced to being alone for eternity as he watches over the timelines.
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.
He then manipulated Thor, who refused to be seen as weak, into attacking the Frost Giants at Jotunheim. To teach his son humility, Odin stripped Thor of his magic hammer, Mjolnir, then cast him out to Midgard aka Earth.
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.
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 .
Sigyn was an Aesir goddess and the wife of the trickster Loki. She is portrayed as loyal and dutiful but may have secrets to reveal. While Sigyn was one of the Aesir gods of Asgard, she was also the wife of the trickster Loki. He was a giant invited to live among the Aesir due to a brotherhood pack with Odin.
