Loki is not a Villain - He is a God

A lot of people name Loki a villain, but this is not true. He can´t be called that because this is a human characterison - Loki in Marvel as in Religion is a God. He shares Odin´s Blood and in Marvel he is a Prince of Asgard and a Jotun - asgardians are Gods and Loki is even more. He is a Jotun and we know nothing about their race - even though it seems they are take action without regret and mercy. They are strong and scary figures to be reckon with.
And in Religion he is half giant and wind-giant. Overseen by his father and his brothers due to his height. It lies in his nature to be frickle and unsteady.

In Greek History and Myth the mirror image to North Myth, the gods are very gruesome. Murder, torture, violence have happened but no one is calling them Villains just as Odin uses rape, violence, torture, murder and cruelty to his benefit, no one is calling him a Villain or Thor who is crashing and ripping the heads off of hunderts of Jotuns. In the Name of Asgard.

So what really makes a villain ? Who is the villain in a Story ? Cause out of the villains view very often the Hero is the villain in their Story. But if the Hero kills everyone of the 'Bad Guys' it´s heroic ? Is their live less worth because they´re from another species that frightens us ?
How many of the Centauri were killed ? How many Jotuns ?

In the end the Heroes are simply murderers too - justiying it in their course to save others.

Thor 3 and Loki dead ?!

I´ve seen a lot of speculation about Thor 3 theme being ragnarok - the end of all things because Chris Hemsworth simply being asked about his idea for Thor 3 implied it would be  a great Story. It´s not even out if that is true. Cause the script wasn´t even written at that point.
Just like the idea of Amora or the enchantress - it isn´t likely to happen. It was just an answer of Tom Hiddleston for a love interest for Loki. And the most don´t like the idea because Loki is already a pain ridden character in the movies and this characters just fed in the pain in the comics. No happy end in sight.

And now they come up with the idea and enlarge it that this is his final blow. Even though he signed up for more movies than 3 - there are at least 2 more to go. And I´m sure if they decide to continue the work with him he will sign a new contract. For Loki is a real beloved character - even if he is a you know bad kinda guy.
(You know he killed a few people on earth right ? *SCHHHHHH*)

And besides he already - well - nearly died in Thor 2 and to do it in the next one again isn´t pretty smart. And Kevin Feige is smart. And a sadist at some extend.


And even though I really would like to see the Storyline of Kidloki on screen I don´t think that will work - and that´s just it right ? We still are assuming of the things we read in the comics but the Comics are a lot different from the movies on screen. In characterisation and ark.

In that not only in the Thor characters but all marvel heroes from Iron Man to Cap. So I still have hope they will go into a whole different direction and catch the viewer by surprise. And Feige being the master player that he is will surely come up with something incredible. It can only get better after seeing the guardians of the galaxy the viewers idea of things has pretty much expended. The Universe is much more complicated and bigger than we all thought. And I´m all exited for things going down with Thanaos.
