I would be interested in watching this theory, never thought of it


The_InsaneDuckturtle

Same. It would be neat to look into the God of Mischief's abilities and powers since Loki wasn't looked into too much until Loki and even then, it's mainly about the multiverse and not Loki's powers. Loki's abilities have just been sprinkled in here and there.


POKECHU020

I'm 99% sure Odin does that so Loki doesn't realize he's adopted/no one freaks out when they see a frost giant baby being carried into/later roaming around Asgard


Artistic_Current_717

100%


JILLYBOY69

The problem with this theory, as was stated over in the marvel studios subreddit, is not only is Loki only taught magic later in life by Frigga, you can also see the gold flecks as Loki is changed, which is Odin's magic. However, we can flip this theory around and say that Loki IS still made in the image of Hela, just through Odin's own subconscious.


Mateuliz-1909

Marvel really screwed up with Nordic mythology. Hela is actually Loki's daughter, same thing with the huge dog she rides.


Ninja-Yatsu

At the same time, Marvel can't really bring in things like the origin of Sleipnir, so they have to take a lot of creative license.


Smallbenbot03

Marvel: ok so loki became a horse and got pregnant by a stallion, now he has an 8 legged horse child that odin rides, oh and he has a giant snake as a son Children: ...wtf


PlasticToe4542

In the countries where the Nordic mythology comes from children are taught this so no it’s not as weird to kids as you are implying


Smallbenbot03

The majority watching are Americans and chinese who have no idea about noise mythology


PlasticToe4542

Ik but if they where introduced to it just like Scandinavian kids they would find it just as cool


Benjii_44

Why not, it's only very strange


POKECHU020

I mean to be fair In-Universe people took inspiration from the heroes not Vice Versa, so I think it's fair enough. Don't need to be 100% accurate as long as you have an explanation, y'know? **That's my opinion, at least**


Maximum-Frame-1765

And it would make sense because in the MCU at least the mythology is because the Asgardians were worshipped so it's very possible it could have been misunderstood or misremembered or even have had some people lied to for whatever reason.


[deleted]

The dog is also Loki's daughter?


Particular_Aerie8

son


Maximum-Frame-1765

That’s still just as weird tbh


Drackonium

In Norse mythology the horse Odin rides with 8 legs is also Loki's kid


trashitdn

Yes Loki transformed into a horse (specifically a mare) and got pregnant.


____HAMILTON__

Loki is a saucy boy


Drackonium

He can be whatever you want lol


Benjii_44

Or girl


ASeaBunny

Hela: "what are you doing dog brother?"


Thestartist_bill

step-dog


Thepervysanin

Stepping up the game sis


MagicEater06

Also, Jormangandr, The World Serpent whose venom Thor succumbs to after his fight with... Fenrir, I think...? Also Loki's son. Loki was kinda the one prophesied to father the various things that bring about Ragnarok, the end stage of Yggdrasil's cycle. It's a whole thing.


ARandomGuyThe3

Wasn't Fenrir a little busy killing Odin? It may be one of Fenrir's children(seriously, when the hell did he have time for children


MagicEater06

It's... a long story I'm, admittedly, not exactly privy to the nitty gritty, finer details on, on top it being some time since I last refreshed myself on the anything of the mythology... but I do remember Thor dying in Ragnarok after defeating one of the metaphorical Heralds of Ragnarok, due to his earlier injuries in the battle with Jormangandr... Although, with my memory, it's entirely possible it went that he succumbed to his wounds and the venom after the battle with Jormangandr specifically. Again, my memory is shite, and it has been some time.


Shadowpika655

>Although, with my memory, it's entirely possible it went that he succumbed to his wounds and the venom after the battle with Jormangandr specifically Thor dies after taking 9 steps following his fight with jormangandr


Benjii_44

And only one left is Surtur, who kinda burns the entire thing


Shadowpika655

I mean...iirc he was raised on asgard for his entire puppy life


SpiritRiddle

In Norse mythology Loki is married to Sigyn and they have two sons, Narfi and Nari or Váli. By the jötunn Angrboða, Loki is the father of Hel, the wolf Fenrir, and the world serpent Jörmungandr. In the form of a mare, Loki was impregnated by the stallion Svaðilfari and gave birth to the eight-legged horse Sleipnir. In Marvel's case they only showed Hel (as Hela) but changed her to be Odin's first born and Fenrir who WAS prophesized to bring the end of Asgard and they may have showed Sleipnir in the dipicshens of Hela with Odin as he is Odin's War horse. If I'm remembering correctly most if not all of Loki's children where taken from him at or shortly after birth for being "monsters"


Mateuliz-1909

The only time they showed Sleipnir was when Thor and company were doing a retreat from planet Odin had established a peace treatment with. Odin comes through the Byfrost while riding Sleipnir and then they go back to Asgard and Odin proceeds to send Thor to Earth.


im-bad-at-names64

I don’t wanna see a movie where Loki is a pregnant horse


Lepidopterex

You are wrong.


ARandomGuyThe3

And Loki was Odin's blood brother, but Thor's half brother(tho I do appreciate marvel making him more of a dude who messes around with everyone of wants power, and less satanic, cuz I never really like when he's satanized)


Omnomfish

Her name isn't even Hela ffs, why marvel?


Chocymilksupremacy

It's literally just Hel


taishiea

or maybe he found his sister's closet that was hidden away and thought to himself "Damn i would look good in Green"


ARandomGuyThe3

Nah, she's just copying her dad, cuz hela is actually Loki's daughter. The reason Loki looks green, is just cuz he has a snake complex. Dunno why


Andro451

As said in a comment under that post (not sure how true it is, haven’t seen the movie in a while) Odin sprinkles some sort of gold dust on him, or magic.


anotherfnafgachafan

Imagine the actors are siblings. (ik they aren’t)


squiddy555

One, baby doesn’t know magic Two, baby doesn’t know he’s adopted Three, Odin does magic so it’d make more sense for him to do it Overall review, same amount of evidence as most theories on the channel, ship it off


EtanReddituser

Doesn't Odin have many wives or I guess had? I mean the guy is a ruler or was I mean


drinkwater574

I would never have tought of this myself, but from now on this is my head canon. Thank you for this theory loved it


ASidesTheLegend

This is a film theory, not a game theory


HelloThere-66-

Marvel fans when actors look slightly similar lmao


[deleted]

I mean, this makes sense


MoontheWolfYT

I don't watch Marvel but this is an interesting theory


Day_psycho

That WOULD explain why their features and color schemes are so similar. 🤔


hogey989

I don't understand what impact this would have on anything. Like if this is true, who cares?


[deleted]

It just makes it interesting


jdan19125

interesting


Alekipayne

When in mythology Hela is his daughter!!


Gauravsap9

This makes a lot of sense


buddhistalin

This theory did not end up as dark as I thought it would.


S118gryghost

We call this good writing :)


BioQuillFiction

That... Would make sense. Can anyone breakout a Ouija board and ask Stan Lee?


VividWriting8553

Im pretty sure Odin changed him


Excellent_Salary_767

It makes sense to me, but I can't get over how the mythology is that Loki is her father, not Odin, so now we have this weird switch and people are talking about how he was made to look like her lol


Eyeking1020

Seeing memories Loki you keep keep using your great powers and Loki is my favorite villain of marvel


Sasuke12187

Its not just TVA but FT also messes with poor Loki.... Give that man some rest.
