Odin adverted to the temple after the battle and found a baby, suffering and left to die.
But is this the truth ?
Was Loki abandoned and left to die ?
It was a temple, first off, the same they found the casket in. A sacred place of the Jotun. Laufey could have left him there with guards to protect him. Small or not his status and his gender protected him among the Jotuns.
The guards could have been likely slain by the Asir. And Odin found him after the battle was over.
It´s left open for Laufey to know if his son is held captive by Odin or tortured and killed in Asgard to show the might and power of the Asgardians. His son was gone. They´re defeated and without the casket, they couldn´t do a thing about it.
'Odin is a murderer and a thief'
Could imply the slaughter and abductionof their kind and their heir. And the casket of cause. And we also don´t know, wether Laufey knew Loki could possibly be his son. After he learned that the younger heir of Odin showed him the way into Asgards chambers. But Laufeys way of thinking seems pretty similar to Loki´s. So he would not trust a Prince of Asgard just like that, would he ?
And Loki´s upcoming isn´t built on love or hate, but guilt and pity. Odin´s relationship to Thor was always deeper. So that he always felt left out and unappreciated. Due to his temper he always aimed to show off his abilities, his tricks as if to show off, look at me, praise me.
But even his powers are ridiculed - but with him gone, they call him a Master of Magic and not silver tongue or trickster.
That leaves the question, if they would have let him know that his work and strengh were admired, would that have changed his outcoming ?
Otherwise his passion to dominate his brother is so huge, due the feeling that he is so much more fitting to be a king, is overwealming and so he tries to prove that the brain, wit and intelligence is much more worthy of the throne than strengh and rage. But in the goal to win over his brother is for Thor to tell him in all honesty how amazing and better he is. And he wants him beneath him on his knees.
Like Iron Man said : A Diva. He wants to rule, be worshiped and looked up to. And in that lies the question, how much his parents influenced his life and how much is reasonably due to his being a Forstgiant.
How would he have turned out been raised as a giant ?
But then there´s also the question of his mother. And why there weren´t any female Jotuns. Or could they themselves give birth and all of them have both genders in general ?
But why did Loki then turn into human skin, if those races are not of the same kind ? Jotuns just have certain magic. Their only ability lies in the forming of ice and coldness.
Was it some kind of protective spell upon him ?
That points out the question what race or being his mother was.
And so if he was a magical being from beginning on - and what is his true form ?
He didn´t know who he was, so he did not intentionally have his human form, it just breaks due immense coldness. And turns back without his doing. Can this be turned ? Turn Jotuns into men shape when they suffer from intense heat ?
And does that mean Frigga was actually not teaching him magic - but suppress his Jotun magic and showing him ways to control it ?
And even though their bound was so strong, she too didn´t intend to tell him who he was, because of Odins judgement ?
She didn´t want him to feel different but still told them children Story´s about the evil Frostgiants ?
Just as Odin told them how they defeated the Monsters of Jotunheim ?
Odin doesn´t alone wear the guilt of this. But Loki´s need to feel the love of Odin drives him up against a wall. So that he decides to destroy all Jotuns, to show his true loyalty, that he is Asir. So he shows that he has the might to destroy that race of Monsters. And so a true heir to the throne.
But Odin says No.
And all the unfulfilled desire turns into it´s reverse - a switch is turned out. And as he lets go. He knows wherever he is going, it´s better than staying here. And he goes on a journey of misery, crossing paths with dark creatures, findind other pathways and forces.
With just one thought in mind.
I am the rightful King of Asgard. I am a King. And I will take me a throne. And I will destroy everything that gets in the way.
