Line 230:
* So is Loki even fully Jotun? Even in his blue form, he looks less like a big inhuman thing and more like... well, a blue version of his normal self with a couple face markings. (Or [[Star Trek: The Next Generation|Data]].) Apparently in the deleted scene Laufey dismissively calls Loki his ''bastard'' son and indicates that he left him to die on purpose, so is his real mom an Asgardian or something?
** Could be, but there are six other realms as well for his mother to come from.
** Loki's comics backstory has him as a "runt" Frost Giant, and in the movieverse, Odin says that Loki as baby was small for even a foundling Frost Giant. That and his innate, perhaps subconsciously activated shape-shifting powers might explain why he doesn't look like a slightly icier version of a [[JamesAvatar Camerons Avatar(film)|Na'vi]]
* So is nobody bothered that Odin, the head honcho of all Nordic gods is against war? We're talking about gods coming from a belief system in which you have to die in battle to have a decent afterlife (that is go to Valhalla). How come Thor's bloodthirsty attitude is looked down upon in a society which apparently gave rise to the Viking culture?
** This isn't Norse mythology. Besides, even there Odin didn't exactly go around saying "Kill everything for the lulz." Thor's problem wasn't his bloodlust, it was that he was basically calling for genocide—the extermination of everything in Jotunheim. Odin didn't shrink from warfare and battle when he had to, and when he did he was no pushover, but being the wisest being in Asgard, he just didn't see the need for killing.
Line 284:
** And he was pretty hungry for the throne of Asgard (and all the power that comes with it). That equals greed.
