"I don't want to be [king], I was born to be."

OH HMM WOULD YOU LOOK AT THAT ISN'T IT INTERESTING HOW ODIN TELLING HIM HE WAS BORN TO BE A KING SINCE HE WAS A CHILD MADE HIM UNABLE TO ANSWER A SIMPLE YES OR NO QUESTION ABOUT WHAT HE WANTS.

Wild how Loki phrases his answer to "you want to be king?" as a "no, i don't want to be king," and then gives the reason the answer is yes which amounts to Odin's lies verbatim.

"The first and most oppressive lie ever uttered was the song of freedom."

I like the continuation on talking about freedom in Avengers 1, adds to attributing similar concepts in his yelling in Avengers 1 after being stuck first with Asgard's culture and then with Thanos :)

The line actually kinda reminded me of this panel of kid loki in Loki (2019):

"For nearly every living thing, choice breeds shame and uncertainty, and regret. There’s a fork in every road, yet the wrong path always taken."

can we talk about how this was part of the projection speech Loki gave? Because he's essentially admitting his choices make him ashamed and uncertain and even regretful, that he always sees himself as taking the wrong path when it comes to decisions. which i think is important to note because a lot of the time people argue that Loki doesn't show these things, so he's proud and enjoys what he does?

This fits right in with how he ain't malicious for the sake of it along with the established moral compass in Thor 1 and how he ignores it after finding out he's Jotun because he feels he has to hurt people, to put on a show and have them be afraid, or they won't respect him.

Says lots about Asgard too, because we know strength is a constant theme in their culture and as warriors they have a set definition of it.

"The Time-Keepers have built quite the circus, and I see the clowns are playing their parts to perfection."

I LOVE how Mobius asked whether what he's saying applies to himself and Loki's immediate reaction to being called out is to laugh condescendingly and immediately change the topic by calling the man a clown to his face

#i'll do a proper analysis later #for now take some thoughts #i want them to address the jotun thing more now #his file in the end credits (i think?) said his race is Frost Giant so i want them to elaborate on that 👀 #but ye #the Loki show #loki spoilers #loki show spoilers #fun #can TVA stop blaming loki i dont care if they're doing it manipulate him drag thanos into this right now #like #literally tortured #could mention it a bit 🥺 #marvel stop being cowards and bring up how loki doubting his identity and worth led to attempted suicide in thor 1 #go and connect that to WHY loki was acting out and puts on the whole display of power to cover his own weakness #tell us why it's important that he does it
