Loki Laufeyson is probably one of Marvels best villains. Not only does he have magic, but he comes back every time the Avengers think he’s imprisoned. He always manages to get out of even the most hi-tech prisons. Most people remember Loki from the 2012 Marvels: The Avengers Movie. He was the main bad guy, though it is said he was working for Thanos. It is unknown of whether he was being mind-controlled or was doing it of his own free will. Though from what I have read, I believe he was doing it to prove to Odin that he should be king of Asgard instead of Thor.
Loki was originally the son of Laufey, Frost giant and King of Jotunheim, but when Odin went to war against the frost giants, he killed Laufey. Odin found Loki in the stronghold and took him to be raised by him and his wife Frigga. He grew up within his brother, Thor’s,

Thor got his Hammer back and returned to Asgard and fought Loki. Loki was with his mother Frigga in his fathers chambers when Thor got their. Loki had killed a Frost giant because he wanted his mother to believe that he didn't let the Frost giant's into Asgard. Thor made Loki admit to what he had done in front of Frigga, and Loki said he only did it because he was the rightful heir to the throne not Thor. Thor was fighting Loki on the bridge when the bridge broke, Loki was falling but Thor grabbed his brothers hand before he fell, Odin was there holding Thor from falling. Loki asked Odin if he had proved that he could be king instead of Thor, when Odin said that Loki had not proved himself that he had just gotten himself in a lot of trouble Loki let go of Thor's hand and fell to his death. We later find out that Loki had faked his death and came back to the palace in disguise as a guard. He told Odin and Frigga that they had found Loki's body, even when everyone mourned for his death, he still didn't show himself, still pretending to be someone he is
There is a wicked side to Odin. He can be erratic and at times abuse his power by causing or initiating wars. This has surfaced with many rulers throughout history. If Odin were to be compared to a
Due to being the God of mischief he is not shown in the spotlight and lives in his brothers shadow. We see his transformation throughout the movie as he wishes to begin the one true heir and take Thor place as future king which in order to secure his position he shows he is willing to kill his brother. Thor however found this hard to see as he does not seem that intimidating this only adds to him fitting the trickster archetype as does not seem to be the type to do that. This can fit easily modernly as many people can feel as if they are in the shadow of somebody especially if they are siblings. This can lead them to develop cold feelings towards them which they may not show or admit to until
According to the Norse Mythology for Smart People in the article, “THOR,” Thor is the thunder god, who protects Asgard from the giants, “Thor, the brawny thunder god, is the archetype of a loyal and honorable warrior, the ideal toward which the average human warrior aspired. He’s the indefatigable defender of […] Asgard from the encroachments of the giants […].” Thor is described as having similar characteristic of Finn: Loyal and honorable. Thor is also strong and courageous: “His courage and sense of duty are unshakeable, and his physical strength is virtually unmatched,” (THOR).
Thor is one of the most famous of the gods in Norse mythology, well known due to his popularity. Thor is described as having a quick and hot temper, and a love for food. The enemies of the gods, the giants, were on the receiving end of
Loki is the son of a giant and not a god. 31. Loki was jealous of Balder 32. Balder's weakness was mistletoe. 33.
The myth The Death of Balder is, upon surface value, confusing and perhaps unstable in terms of character development. Most interesting to me, however, is the fact that the readers are introduced to the cunning nature of Loki and his treachery. Driven to kill Balder out of jealousy, Loki exacts an expert plan to get what he wants. He is able to deceive not one but two gods unrelated to himself into aiding in his plan. However, the most fascinating part of his deed comes from the loyalty others still show him despite his deceit. In particular, it is interesting that Hel said the only way to bring back Balder is to “prove everyone and everything in the world, both alive and dead, will weep for him” because, as Loki’s daughter, she would
Like many tricksters the great Loki can take any form and is selfish, dangerous, and amoral but yet, he is a creator. Loki, in Norse mythology, a cunning trickster who had the ability to change his shape and sex. Although his father was the giant Fárbauti, he was included among the Aesire. Loki was represented as the companion of the great gods Odin and Thor, helping them with his clever plans but sometimes causing embarrassment and difficulty for them and himself. He also appeared as the enemy of the gods, entering their banquet uninvited and demanding their
Loki and Ragnarök are connected in the way that Loki’s children all wreak havoc during Ragnarök. Loki fathers the most monstrous enemies of the gods: the Midgard serpent named Jörmungand, the wolf Fenrir and the death-goddess, Hel. When the mighty god Odin found out about these children, he ordered that they were to be brought to him, so he could decide their fate.
Before digging into his misdeeds, noting Loki’s pure benevolence is essential. Atop a mountain, the gods built the city Asgard, “a great City… that the Giants could never overthrow” (Colum 6). As they built their great city, the gods were approached by a giant. Although the giant could not help build the halls or palaces of Asgard, “[he could] build great walls that [could] never be overthrown” (7), and so the gods took the giant’s offer. Of course, however, this favor would not be performed without reward. Odin, the Father of the Gods, asks the giant what payment he desires, believing
Thor has many personal issues he needs to resolve and overcome, but his heart is not one of those. He certainly does not lack heart in the film. He shows so many instances of heart and laying it all out on the line for himself and his friends. However, he is very hard-headed and prideful which he lets get the best of him sometimes. Those two reasons are exactly why he was banished from his homeland Asgard by his father Odin. In the beginning of the film, thor is being formally recognized as the crown prince of Asgard, as he was the next to be the king of Asgard when his father passed away, which his brother Loki did not like one bit. As the ceremony is going on, thor and all
Loki is known as the trickster god of Norse mythology and is even said to be one of the first anti-heroes. He is also probably one of the most well-known tricksters as well. In the Norse myths, he is often portrayed as being very mischievous and is always causing trouble for the gods. In fact, “he was so outrageously mischievous that he even sneaked his way into becoming a god” (Allen, and Saunders, par. 1). However, even though he almost always seems to be getting the gods into some kind of trouble, he also helps them at times in an attempt to get them out of their predicaments…even if those predicaments are his own fault to begin with.
Odin was being very merciful to Loki by being willing to help him cover the otters back with gold. He never even punished Loki. That’s how merciful Odin king of the Norse gods can really
Thor is said to be reliable because he could bring sense of safety to those he love. He is powerful enough to defeat his enemy and his contributions make the universe peaceful. Thor’s father, Odin, the current king of the Asgard admitted to Loki, Thor’s adopted brother that throne would be passed to Thor in future. Odin made his promise because Thor was able to undo the mistake and war planned by Loki. Odin believed in him that he was capable to protect Asgard from harsh enemies.
Asgard is sometimes known as Asgarth. It is the realm of the gods and the home of both the Aesir and Vanir. Is is ruled by Odin, the leader of the Norse deities. It is located in the heavens, but is connected to earth by a bridge, known as Bifrost, sometimes referred to as a rainbow. There is also a route from Asgard to the underworld, the domain of Hel. Valhalla, a hall within Asgard, was the palace for fallen kings, warriors who had died in battle and heroes.
Loki is the embodiment of, “Of course it was Loki. It 's always Loki.” Loki is unquestionably the biggest question mark within Norse mythology. He is portrayed as a scheming, mischievous deity who has no real loyalties, his role is shrouded in mystery; what was his purpose in the ancient stories. Loki’s character arises questions about his role; was he a plot device, a foil for the Aesir, or maybe he was meant to be used as a warning to child? Within the pantheon of Norse gods, he was an anomaly; his fellow gods are mostly one dimensional and Loki is anything but. Loki is the antithesis to the culture the Norse gods represented; honor, courage, fidelity, truth, discipline, hospitality, industriousness, self reliance, perseverance. Loki is
