Summary

• Loki's deep affection for his adoptive mother, Frigga, is evident through a small detail – both characters have a tendency to pick at their hands when they're nervous or stressed.
• Loki's relationship with his mother is a weakness that can affect his actions and how he manipulates others, as seen when his reaction to insults about his mother nearly causes him to lose his composure.
• Despite becoming a heroic figure, there is still a mischievous villain within Loki that emerges when his family is brought up, highlighting the complexity of his character and his struggle with his past and future.

Loki takes a deep dive into the trickster's god's background, and one small detail makes his MCU origin more tragic. Loki was born a frost giant but was adopted and raised by Odin after he was abandoned by his father, Laufey. While growing up in Asgard, Loki felt estranged from Odin who he thought favored Thor, and grew closer to his adoptive mother, Frigga. Despite his attachment to his mother, he betrayed the people of Asgard and journeyed down a villainous route. Despite his tough exterior, Frigga is still a soft spot for Loki, especially after her death in Thor: The Dark World.
In Loki, the anti-hero is often confronted with his past but also with his eventual future. He has become a heroic figure in the Loki timeline, but there is still a chaotic, mischievous villain hiding in there, and he often comes out when someone brings up his family. His connection to his family is made even more obvious with a tiny detail that many viewers might have missed. It not only shows how deep his affection is for his mother, but it also makes their complicated relationship even sadder.
