Line 12:
**** Yes, but the audience shouldn't really be assuming in the first place that the whole planet's population is [[Exclusively Evil]] just because they've seen a few dozen of them. Although [[Humans Are the Real Monsters|they are going to do so anyway]], I suppose...
*** Well, the leader of the Jotuns is introduced in the present by...giving Thor and his buddies the chance to leave peacefully, and clearly has no interest in reigniting their ancient war. That's clearly not [[Exclusively Evil]], especially coming from their leader.
*** Why did he hate them so much anyhow? He is a Frost Giant by birth, and deems himself to be [[The Unfavourite]] because of his heritage. After killing Laufey, he could have assumed leadership of both Asgard and Jotunheim - and, judging by Odin's speech, ''that'' is would have made him really proud of Loki. In addition, that gambit would have been worthy of [[Watchmen (comics)|Ozymandias]].
**** Dunno, if I was a Frost Giant, and all of sudden Loki appeared saying "GUYS I SLEW YOUR KING BUT DON'T WORRY I AM HIS SON YOU HAVE NEVER HEARD OF, BOW TO ME PLZ?", I wouldn't be exactly welcoming of that idea, and probably would chalk it off as Asgardian witchery. I am not even sure if Laufey himself was aware Loki was his son.
*** Loki was raised as an Asgardian. You don't spend thousands of years growing up in a culture that favors protection of other realms and teaches of the atrocities of a species without retaining those predelictions. Loki may have been shocked to learn he was a frost giant, but that's not going to change the education and culture he's been born to. He's still going to want to whallop frost giants, even if that does add some angst to it all when he knows he's part of that species.
