Loki goes from suicidal to homicidal to neither from Thor 1 to Infinity War

Do you think Loki’s homicidal urges stem from suicidal ones cuz I definitely do

Dropping off the Bifrost in Thor 1 was absolutely a suicide attempt this is fact he definitely thought he was gonna die and after finding out what a hated monster he was he really wanted to

Then the chitauri give him the option to do something dangerous (invade earth and take it over with the chitauri) or be tortured “he will make you wish for something as sweet as pain” something like that. So he wants to die not live and feel even more pain than what emotional trauma he’s already dealing with so fuck it why not slaughter everyone? These guys just gave him a motive PLUS it’s dangerous? And he plans to die anyway so that makes for no lasting physical or moral repercussions.

But then he doesn’t die he just gets locked up.

And then somewhere between A1 and Thor tdw that ‘I don’t care who or what I kill as long as it includes myself’ turns into ‘well I’m obviously not gonna die so I might as well just kill other people’ hence converting suicidal to homicidal actions

Until Odin dies in Ragnarok which I believe is the turning point for him. When Odin says “I love you my sons” and Loki gives that look of ‘you just called me your son even though we both know I’m a monster and you told me you love me in the same sentence as Thor this including him and making us equals and that is all I ever wanted’ And then his attitude changes.

He’s still a conniving little shit cuz thats just his personality but from Ragnarok on I really think he doesn’t want to die or kill anyone he doesn’t have to (cuz not killing ANYONE is not an option in superhero movies everyone does it) so by infinity war when he seems to suicidally fling himself and a fucking butter knife at Thanos it’s not entirely out of character because it represents suicidal urges, but it must be taken into account that he feels a lot better mentally now and isn’t a dumb fuck. He doesn’t want to die for once so why wouldn’t he at least TRY not to die?

I didn’t mean for it to take this turn but I suppose this is somewhat evidencing the fact that Loki is still alive.

Oh well it’s true.
