Why mcu; loki, the norse god of mischeif, is the most important, (and best frankly) person in the mcu. A power point presentation, by, Blaine Cipher. I believe it was the first avenger's moive where we see our rag tag gang of misfist defend midguard (earth), we now know his mind was manipulatied, thus pardoning "him" from "his" crimes. But that aside, let's look at this from a writer's prosprective, without him the avengers would have never formed, teamed up, assembled, for better word. Without Loki,the avenger's would NEVER I MEAN NEVER have gone to save the world so many times, defeat hydra, discover Wanda, create Vision, etc. ALSO tony never would have been "cursed with knowledge" thus not sparing his life from thanos during the sanp, thus they wouldnt be able to travel back in time, get the infinity stone and gwt everyone feom the snap back. Now onto my second point branching from the Thanos point; without Loki, Thor would have never been able to reach starlord and kill thanos, get the storm break
