WARNING: The following article contains major spoilers for Season 2 of Ragnarok, now streaming on Netflix.

In Netflix's Ragnarok, Season 2 finally gave Magne (David Stakston) help as he found fellow gods to fight the Frost Giants in their human form as the Jutul family. However, as he unlocked secrets to attaining Mjolnir, the truth also came out about his half-brother, Laurits (Jonas Strand Gravli). With Magne being Thor reincarnated, the latter is indeed Loki. While he cuts a sinister figure just like Marvel Cinematic Universe's Tom Hiddleston, this millennial trickster is much more endearing.

In Disney+'s Loki series, the God of Mischief is an insufferable brat. As Mobius parses through his past, even Loki can tell there isn't much to redeem. He killed Agent Coulson, caused Frigga's death and helped Thanos conquer the galaxy for a bit. So no matter how much Thor or Odin tries to console him, he's a total disappointment. Overall, it's hard to root for Hiddleston's selfish version.

But in Netflix's Ragnarok, Loki elicits sympathy as a victim; abused, manipulated and lied to by people he loves, starting with Turid, who lied about his dad. In Season 3, she confirms it's the Jutul patriarch, Vidal, informing why he's felt so alone and incomplete. He never connected with Magne's father, which left him an outsider.

It played on Loki's emotions, which is why he's glad to get attention from Vidar. However, the giant plays him as he just wants to use his son as a pawn against Magne. It gets worse as Magne does the same, using him to break into Vidar's home for weapons. This incurs the father's wrath, and Vidar almost kills Laurits, which ends with Magne killing the giant. Still, Laurits feels as alone as ever. As such, the PTSD and lies have him embracing his Loki persona more.

It adds more distress to his life as he's struggled with being gender fluid and later discovering his male crush with another man. All of this leaves Laurits wondering about his purpose and true identity, which is why he connects with the Midgard Serpent he gives birth to. It's the only "person" that understands and selflessly loves Laurits. Weighing all the past rejections, Laurits decides to end the Ragnarok season as Loki.

It's heartbreaking as he doesn't crave power -- just honesty and approval. And he isn't selfish, which automatically puts him in a better light than the MCU's Loki. Laurits doesn't even need to sacrifice his life against a villain; he's losing his humanity due to the puppet masters who don't care how he feels. After all, Magne didn't think of how much Vidar meant to Laurits. Turid didn't care for how he was always trying to be made whole. Not to mention Vidar's wife and kids discard him as he tries to find a sense of family.

He accepts Loki as a self-defense mechanism. Everyone he loves hurts him, compounded by Magne lying to him again to steal a key so he can forge his hammer in Vidar's factory. It led to Fjor and Ran beating him down and almost murdering him to get back at Magne. In addition to this, seeing Magne unleashing his powers as Thor leaves Loki scared his brother may kill him someday. It hastens his new role as a spy for the Jutuls. But as sorry as audiences feel for him, all this drama is making Loki stronger so he can formulate his own scheme.

Ragnarok stars David Stakston, Jonas Strand Gravli, Theresa Tømmeraas, Frostad Eggesbø, Emma Bones, Henriette Steenstrup, Gísli Örn Garðarsson, Synnøve Macody Lund, Odd-Magnus Williamson, Tani Dibasey, Kornelia Eline Skogseth, Eli Anne Linnestad and Jeppe Beck Laursen. Seasons 1 and 2 are currently available on Netflix.
