A Tiny Marvel Detail You Probably Missed Made Loki’s Origin Even Sadder

Loki takes a deep dive into the trickster’s god’s background, and one small detail makes his MCU origin more tragic. Loki was born a frost giant but was adopted and raised by Odin after he was abandoned by his father, Laufey. While growing up in Asgard, Loki felt estranged from Odin who he thought favored Thor, and grew closer to his adoptive mother, Frigga. Despite his attachment to his mother, he betrayed the people of Asgard and journeyed down a villainous route. Despite his tough exterior, Frigga is still a soft spot for Loki, especially after her death in Thor: The Dark World.
