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.
Furious that he had been lied to all his life and used as Odin's political pawn instead of loved as his son, Loki set on several paths to prove his worth of the throne and superiority over Thor.
For the majority of our universe's existence, Loki had Odin's back 100%. Then came the day where Loki became jealous of the attention Odin's son Baldr was getting, and through trickery, caused the death of his nephew (which is the catalyst for the end of our universe) swinging Loki's allegiance back to the Dark Side.
Loki doesn't care who he's betraying, so long as it meets his needs. In order to impress his adoptive father, he plotted to deceive his biological father. Loki approached Laufey in Jotunheim and cut a deal for the latter to kill Odin in exchange for him becoming the king of Asgard.
The Loki whom fans fondly remember is the one who returned to Asgard, evacuated its people from Hela's (Cate Blanchett) attack, and joined Thor on his journey to Earth. In the eyes of many, Loki was redeemed and finally became one of the good guys. The protagonist of Loki is not the same person.
Loki is undeniably one of Marvel's most prominent and recognizable bad guys; inspired by the Norse legends, he's so dangerous that in both the comics and the MCU, he's essentially the one who led to the Avengers first assembling.
He told Thor that Odin died after banishing him to Earth and that he became Asgard's ruler as a result. Loki said he couldn't undo Thor's punishment since it was Odin's last command.
In the Loki Season 2 finale, Loki realizes the only way to preserve the flow of time and keep the timeline from disintegrating is to sacrifice himself and allow the Temporal Loom to explode.
However, when the gods discover that Loki played a part in devising the god Baldr's (or Baldur) death, they bind him with one of his son's entrails and trap him, placing a serpent over him so that its venom drips onto him.
KING LOKI. By far the most evil incarnation of Loki, and one of his oldest. During the AGENT OF ASGARD run, King Loki was literally the worst enemy of his younger self.
Thor and Loki are epically powerful gods from the Norse-inspired realm of Asgard, both powered by humanity's belief in them, but it is often shown that the God of Thunder Thor is much more "powerful" than his sibling Loki.
In both the comics and Norse mythology, Loki had been portrayed as gender-fluid. In Norse mythology, Loki was first recognized as a “shapeshifter” when Loki lived as a handmaiden for eight years. Loki's first mention as being gender-fluid in the Marvel comics was when he stole the female form of Sif.
In The Avengers, Loki tried to mind-control both Hawkeye and Iron Man, but while he succeeded with Hawkeye, his attempts failed on Iron Man due to his arc reactor. Iron Man's arc reactor protected him from Loki's scepter, as the scepter needed to touch organic matter to work, and the arc reactor was not skin.
In AVENGERS & X-MEN: AXIS (2014) #9, Loki found himself in the unfamiliar role as the hero when he confronted the inverted “evil” Thor on the moon. This version of Loki was so pure of heart that he was able to pick up Mjolnir and transform into a version of Thor.
Loki might be reasoning that if he forces Thanos to kill him, Thanos would feel obligated to leave the only other royal Asgardian alive. He spares 3 people specifically in exchange for stones. Tony for the time stone, Thor for the space stone, and Nebula for the location of the soul stone.
But by sacrificing himself to help Loki and Lady Loki, Classic Loki proves himself wrong. He's not selfish like the other Loki variants. He does have a glorious purpose, and it's giving up his life to help others. He laughs because of the absurdity of it all.
And it's true that, over time, the act of playing a narcissist has arguably fused with who he really is, to some degree, but it shouldn't be forgotten that deep down, Loki is deeply insecure. It's exactly why the only person he ever could have fallen in love with is himself–or, in this case, a version of himself.
Odin. Odin is basically Thor and all the other Asgardians rolled into one—though he's even wiser, more experienced, and minus one eye. As the default King of Asgard, Odin is easily the most powerful being in his realm.
“What am I?” Odin explained that ages ago, he fought and defeated Laufey (Colm Feore), King of the Frost Giants. That's where he found the child Loki, who, abandoned and left for dead, was taken to Asgard and raised as Odin's son in the hopes that he would one day unite the Frost Giants and the Asgardians.
Who does Loki hate? In the original Thor film, Loki completely starts to hate his brother, Thor, when he finds out he's adopted and they are not actually related. Meaning Loki was never going to become King of Asgard since he's not a rightful heir to the throne.
Loki was regarded by the ancient Norse people as the god of mischief, trickery, and deception. He was also seen as the father of several gods and Jotunns, including Sleipnir, Hel, Jormungandr, and Fenrir.
Loki is trickster god causes lots mischief in Norse mythology. He is one of the most well-known gods of Norse mythology. He is at least half-giant; but some report him as being a full-grown giant. Loki's father was Fárbauti and his mother was Laufey.
