Theory about Loki’s adoption.
First of all, I’m hella sure you ALL READ 10000 fanfcis discussing this topic, whether it be that Odin A ++ parenting version or ,,Loki we are your family lets all hug, ta-daaa rainbows.’’ I WANT TO TALK ABOUT ACTUAL CANONIC FACTS THAT I THINK I REALLY ARE UNDERESTIMATED.
okay. firstly, I need to quote ALL THE SCENE THAT we all know by heart. yeah the ,,TELL ME’’ scene. 3:)
ODIN; In the aftermath of the battle, I went into the Temple, and I found a baby. Small for a giant's offspring -- abandoned, suffering, left to die. Laufey's son.
LOKI Why? You were knee-deep in Jotun blood. Why would you take me??? ODIN You were an innocent child. LOKI You took me for a purpose, what was it? Tell me! ODIN I thought we could unite our kingdoms one day, bring about an alliance, bring about a permanent peace... through you. But those plans no longer matter. ^tried to cut it short to what’s important
SO lets get to it.
this is temple of Jotunheim. In the middle of the City.
these are the city gates where Thor and the company fought Laufey. ^the building on the lett side. you can see the two-arcs f the temple in the background. It’s INSIDE the city. IN FACT, IT’S IN THE MIDDLE OF THE CITY.
anyone, does leaving a child in such place make sense to you?
moving on.
Jotunheim attacked Midgard, but as the movie says,
ODIN NARRATING AT THE BEGINNING OF THE MOVIE
,,Once, mankind accepted a simple truth: that they were not alone in this universe. Some worlds man believed home to their Gods. Others they knew to fear. From around the cold and darkness came the Frost Giants, threatening to plunge the mortal world into a new ice age. But humanity would not face this threat alone. Our armies drove the Frost Giants back into the heart of their own world. The cost was great. In the end, their king fell, and the source of their power was taken from them. With the last great war ended, we withdrew from the other worlds and returned home at the Realm Eternal, Asgard. And here we remain as the beacon of hope, shining out across the stars. And though we have fallen into man’s myths and legends, it was Asgard and its warriors that brought peace to the universe.
Our armies drove the Frost Giants back into the heart of their own world.
^LOOK AS THIS PICTURE CLOSELY, YOU CAN SEE LAUFEY AND ODIN
The cost was great.
In the end, their king fell,
and the source of their power was taken from them. (DO YOU SEE LAUFEY AND ODIN IN THE BACKGROUND, ON THE RIGHT CORNER?)
With the last great war ended, we withdrew from the other worlds and returned home at the Realm Eternal, Asgard.
SO, DO YOU SEE WHERE THAT LAST BATTLE TOOK PLACE???
THE TEMPLE WHERE THE CASCET WAS BEING KEPT. AND WHO ALSO WAS THERE, ACCORDING TO SAME ODIN ,,ABANDONED, SUFFERING LEFT TO DIE?’’
LAUFEY’S SON.
The movie always made me wonder, how the hell did Odin even know Loki was Laufey’s Son, or how did he even knew his Name? Odin said he was ,,an innocent child’’ and that’s why he got all paternal over him right away. riiiight -_- because he demolished the whole city, went to the most sacred place where the heart of Jotunheim as kept and did not see a single child in whole process? need i remind you that Utgard is the strongest city of Jotunheim and probably that’s where all the old, women and kids were being kept during the unexpected Aesit assault and Odin got all the feels for LAUFEY’S SON?
So you have to agree, Loki was IN FACT war hostage, which Odin took from HIS FATHER, AFTER KING OF JOTUNHEIM WAS DEFEATED.
AINT NO ONE LEFT LOKI TO DIE.
there, I’ve said all this at last.
