However, the unpredictable actions of Loki are quite evident in what he has handled so far. There’s a notable yet small detail Marvel enthusiasts must have missed in Thor: Ragnarok which adds a layer of tragedy to Tom Hiddleston’s character storyline in the MCU. Loki has endured extreme torture from Thanos and the other which has left a lasting impact on the character and led him to transform into a formidable adversary.

One Notable Detail Fans Might Have Overlooked About Loki in Thor: Ragnarok

The recent finale of Loki 2 brought emotions and tears in fans, however, one plot hole that you might have missed in Thor: Ragnarok will let you understand the most complex character of the Marvel Cinematic Universe even better. This detail adds a layer of tragedy to Loki’s storyline which validates his actions against the superheroes and his father Odin in the universe.

Loki and Thor
Small details in movies play a crucial role in understanding the narrative of the story, and Loki’s resistance and pain in Thor: Ragnarok explains that he has been extremely tortured by the most hated and powerful Thanos and his subordinate the other.

In Thor 3, despite being the God of Thunder, Chris Hemsworth‘s Thor couldn’t resist the pain of Grandmaster’s electrical Obedience Disks, but when the same was used on Tom Hiddleston‘s Loki, he could handle the pain and was able to endure it for long.

This is what explains the extreme and dreadful experience Loki went through between The Avengers and Thor: Ragnarok, which has made him resist such torments. And after witnessing him in the recent Loki series, you must be feeling quite melancholic for Loki who’s now become the God of Stories.

Loki’s Comic Book Roots Led Him to Transform Into God of Stories

Loki Season 2
Comic book freaks need no introduction about Loki’s humorous and noteworthy encounters with a tree. In the Disney+ Season 2, the MCU’s skilled sorcerer went from being the God of Mischief to the God of Stories by holding the branches of Yggdrasil or the World Tree to save the timeline.

In the later comics, Loki confessed to being trapped in a tree often. Tom Hiddleston’s Loki 2 ended by depicting the connection between the character’s comic roots and the recent events in the MCU and showcasing that his journey started with a tree and ended with it.

However, he’s one of the most famous and complex characters in the comic books and the Marvel Cinematic Universe who’s often seen creating troubles for the Avengers or aligning with them for a greater cause. So, we doubt if there’s more to witness about the master manipulator or if his arc has finally ended.

Loki 2 is streaming on Disney+.
