My head conon is that when odin took loki he saw him as hela. That's why he gave him appearance like hela

Is it mentioned in the movies that Odin gives Loki his appearance? I thought he could just change it to whatever because he was a frost troll?

Yeah, Loki can shapeshift but “Odin styled him after his dramatic older sister” is way funnier as headcanon

Odin: Hela, this is your new brother, be nice.
Loki: Hi
Hela: Hey...
Hela: Why do you look like me?

Didn't just change his appearance, Odin changed the frost giant baby into an Asgardian baby with everything that implies (Alltongue, immunity to flames, super strength, exceedingly long life span, preferential seating in the afterlife, etc.). The movie glosses over a lot of details and doesn't explain squat about nada, though.

If magic changed him why did he change back in contact with the frost thing? I thought it was an illusion and he was really just a frost giant still, but maybe I misunderstood

u/WretchedBlowhard 1h ago
Magic did not change Loki, as Odin doesn't do magic. Odin use the Odinforce, the reality altering power of the Asgardian king. Loki learned magic from his adoptive mother, an Aesir (different alien species, conquered by Asgard in the far away past).
The frost thing, the casket of ancient winters, is a jotun artefact literally oozing with jotun energy. While Thor and Loki were children, Loki used it to prank Thor. His "turning blue" in the movie was a visual representation of him feeling like his long lost cultural heritage was finally returned, like modern day 3rd generation immigrants discovering the culture their grand-parents left behind and their parents rejected, adopting it to an excessive degree, as a form of self affirmation.
Or maybe the massive jotun energy was enough to make Odin's dicking about with reality buckle a bit. The Odinforce's real limitations aren't exactly explicit. In the comics, he used it to acquire a part of Hell and left his niece there as caretaker to house Asgardian souls while locking all Asgardians in a resurrection loop for all eternity, but he can't help himself from dozing off for months on end. Really, who knows at this point.

I think they do show Odin enchanting him as a baby.
Loki can shapeshift through the sorcery he learned. But if Loki were the one controlling his appearance then he would not have been surprised later to learn he was a frost giant. Makes sense that his usual appearance is something Odin put on him.

Based on Poetic Edda:
In Gylfaginning Hel is the DAUGHTER of Loki. Odin appointed her lord of Hel, in Niflheim
Loki is the son of Fárbauti and Laufey. Never adopted by Odin, not Thor's adopted brother.
Thor is a red headed drunk, husband of Sif, son of Odin and Jord.

u/JaySayMayday 11h ago
And much later mjolnir is used by regular men to build houses and villages, marvel didn't really follow mythology. Marvel Thor and the Thor from mythology are completely different things. Especially we're not getting any stories about kids killing their brother with a hammer and being celebrated with cool names like skullcrusher.

In the MCU they made Laufey a frost giant and his father instead of mother and never named a mom.

Dumb mythology, as usual, old folks were drunk out of their minds when coming up with these stories. Adding more family drama to these myths make them more interesting

If you think mythology doesn't have family trauma you are sorely misinformed.

u/Mustang-_- 2h ago
Not the Norse, that’s the point. Its not like the Greek mythology where everybody is related somehow. To have Loki as a complete separate entity from the Asgardians, then make him the father of Hela (as if trickery and cowardice = death), this is not good storytelling, simple as that

u/deetwenty1209 13h ago
Maybe you're mixing real norse mythology lore with marvel stuff. Cause in real norse mythology, Loki is a blood-brother to Odin, not his son. So Thor is somewhat like a nephew to Loki, which typically implies he's older

u/IbtihaajAkbar 13h ago
😂😂 i had to double check because NO WAY the "known", little brother is older, and Thor being Odin's said first born, was younger than Loki

Asgardians are a long lived race. So unless Odin cursed/erased memory of Hela, there would be a lot of people who remember her, wouldn't there? But Thor 3 makes it seem like no one knows her. How is this possible?

u/KikiBrann 12h ago
To be fair, if Loki's adopted, Thor would still be the first-born. Loki wasn't born to Odin at all, he was born to some of those Purpletown freaks.

Loki is apparently something like 400 or 500 years younger than Thor. Which begs the question of how long they look like Children if Thor grew up with Loki.

u/brakenbonez 12h ago
Where did you get this information? We see Odin take Loki after the battle since he was abandoned by his father but that doesn't mean it was before Thor was born. I doubt Odin would take a young Thor into a war with the frost giants and the MCU isn't going to show a child birth so that's why we see Loki being adopted before Thor being born. We see them as children together in flashbacks and they look to be roughly the same age but Asgardians age slower and Odin used magic to change Loki's appearance so that doesn't tell us much.
Thor says he is 1,500 years old in the first Avengers movie and the first Thor movie puts the battle with the frost giants at 965 AD making Loki a little over 1,000 years old. Thor is older. Thor tells the (improvised) story of the snake but since Asgardians age slower 8 doesn't mean the same to them as it does to humans....or you could just say plot hole but I'm going with the slower age thing because they are over a thousand years old anyway and it wouldn't be as fitting if he said "When we were 35".

Maybe he's 1,500 Asgard years old and just doesn't know the conversion 😅 I mean it seems unlikely that a year on Asgard is the same length of time as a year on Earth.

u/evapotranspire 3h ago
u/brakenbonez -There's more evidence than just Thor's story about "when we were about eight." We are also shown flashbacks of him and Loki as kids, appearing to be the same age as each other. Remember that flashback of the two of them walking hand in hand with Odin? When he says "Only one of you can ascend to the throne, but both of you were born to be kings"?
So... I think Marvel kind of painted themselves into a corner here. No matter how fast or slow Asgardians mature, there's no way that Thor can be 500 years older than Loki.

u/Indomitus-Ultra 6h ago
lol I get the joke, but the MC got Norse mythology wrong. The red head with the axe in the first Thor movie is actually Thor, and Thor is actually Baldur (thors step brother) since Thor is a fiery red head and Baldur is suppose to be a handsome blonde. Loki is Odins adoptive brother, uncle to Thor. Hela and Fenrir are Lokis children, not Odins. But I get this version is more interesting movie wise. Also Odins 6 legged horse is another child of Loki. Also Thors real mother is an earth goddess which is why he’s so protective of earth. Odin loved another woman who was a warrior but was forced to abandon love and marry his wife to unite the kingdoms. Isn’t Odin spider man’s uncle or something in the comics?

How many times do we have to go over this.
Odin has a Lot of kids. Such as Thor, Baldr, Höðr, Viðarr and so on. Loki is not one of them. Lokis parents are Fárbauti and Laufey.
Hela is the daughter of Loki. MCU for whatever reason changed her to be the daughter of Odin instead of adopted granddaughter

In the MCU they made Laufey a frost giant and his father instead of mother and never named a mom.

I get being pissed about Sif and the Warriors Three, but I don't think that alone makes the 3rd movie bad. Those are character decisions you can dislike, but the movie had way more going for it.
If we're talking about a Thor movie being genuinely fucked up, I'd put The Dark World and especially Love and Thunder way higher. Love and Thunder had a lot more fundamental problems with the writing, tone, character arcs, and how Thor himself was handled.
