Line 1:
{{work}}
* An offhand comment by Kid Loki in response to one of Thor's:
{{quote|
'''Kid!Loki''': I would have to try terribly hard to be ''that'' bad. }}
** It's a tearjerker because it's Kid Loki acknowledging his earlier statement--that the deeds of his past self were more than worthy of execution. He used to be a horrible person and ''knows it'', and in that context the line is heartbreaking.
Line 7:
* After he helps kid!Loki in his plans to help Thor kill the Serpent in ''[[Fear Itself (Comic Book)|Fear Itself]]'', Volstagg returns home. Once home, he "retells" the events of the battle, where he beats the Serpent and everything is glorious once again. But through-out, he covers up the more horrible details of the war for his children, so that they aren't afraid. However, after the children are put to bed he tells his wife "The world is not always good. I tell the stories to make them feel better. I tell the stories to make myself feel better too. They are children. They are innocents, and innocents I wish them to remain. At least a little while longer. I wish all children could remain so." It's that last sentence that gets this troper every time. Volstagg has been through war after war. He has been forced to help kill Thor for the greater good. And he can't help but worry about kid!Loki, if only because he's a child too. A scared child who he realizes cannot hold out forever.
* Loki, like everyone else, cannot remember Thor following his death in battle against the Serpent. However, unlike everyone else, he knows Tanarus is not the god of thunder, or his brother...and he's upset because he can't remember who ''is''.
{{quote|
'''Tanarus''': Was who...little brother?
'''Loki''': ''Kill you.'' I will when I--when I figure all of this out. }}
** Thankfully an attack from Kelda (accidentally?) jogged his memory.
*** But then in the next issue, it's clearly getting more and more painful for him to hear people call Tanarus his brother. By the end of the issue, he gets {{spoiler|the Silver Surfer}} to remember, and also manages to find Mjolnir.
* Technically this was in ''[[The Avengers:
{{quote|
'''Hulk''': Can't move it. Can't even lift it.
'''Wasp''': Why not?
'''Hulk''': Becuase I'm not Thor... }}
* In Journey into the Mystery #629, Loki has just finished executing a brilliant plan to ensure the Serpent's defeat, and Thor's fall. Note that we're talking about Kid!Loki, who loves his brother and does not want to harm him. To do this, he required assistance from many wretched demons and some of Asgard's enemies. The dead Tyr, the Asgardian god of war, asks Kid!Loki "what now".

* During Walter Simonson's run, Beta Ray Bill showed up. In his backstory, he revealed that his race fled their home galaxy when a wave of demons began to threaten their entire species's survival, with Bill becoming their protector. Thor agrees to help him destroy the demons, in order to save the rest of Bill's race, and they track the demons to their source... ''Bill's home planet, converted into a [[Hell Gate]].'' Bill's reaction is as you expect:

* Again with the Simonson run, at one point Thor gathers the warriors of Asgard for a raid into

And so Skurge makes an epically [[Badass]] [[Last Stand]] against Hela's hordes, killing them by the hundreds until finally, as we are told:

* Another from Simonson, after Eilif the Lost's [[Heroic Sacrifice]] to defeat a monster that'd shrugged off Thor's strongest attacks. Thor ran to him, calling, "Eilif! Eilif! Has the life fled your shattered body? Can you no longer hear even the voices of the gods?"
