Little-known downsides of immortality:
- Tearing your favourite article of clothing and discovering that it’s
irreplaceable because the technique of its manufacture has been lost- Realising you’ve thought of the perfect comeback to someone who’s been dead for three hundred years
- Not being able to eat your favourite dish anymore because the source of some critical ingredient has gone extinct
- Having strong opinions about sports that are no longer played
- Getting a song from the 13th Century stuck in your head and being unable to get it out because you don’t remember how it ends and you’re the only person on Earth who knows it
- Having that perfect pun you’ve been waiting forever for a chance to use stop working due to linguistic drift

I love how none of the Asgardians were surprised that Loki fought alongside Thor to protect Asgard; they know he’s the trickster but they also know they can trust him when shit hits the fan.
He’s still their prince.
They also acknowledge that even under the guise of Odin, he kept them safe for four years.
He was a prince for 1000 years, and a respected warrior for a large chunk of that time.
He’s been going off the rails for 6 years, tops.
1000 vs 6.
Why wouldn’t most of them trust him? Even the bad things he’s done have been aimed at the Asgardian people.
I bring this up all the time, the average Joe Asgardian most likely viewed it all as “some odinson shit” when Loki went off to misbehave on Earth That One Time. Then went back to playing magic soccer or some such. I don’t flatter myself thinking immortal golden space people give a shit about New Yorkers.
Then Loki got some private slap on the wrist punishment (Only the guards in TDW saw his *actual* sentencing before the dark elves showed up) before he re-emerged to DIE protecting Asgard and by extension really all the realms from Malekith. So yeah, Loki is definitely looked upon favorably.
