Which leads to an existential question: How can Loki the God of evil escape his role as Loki? Must someone else take his place while he takes on an alternative role? How does Loki escape the bonds of being an ... anti-Loki, as those are shackles none the less.

I think we have seen the attempts, as Loki cared for his daughter enough to bargain with Spiderman for her safety.

-There are two solutions, I see.

1. If Loki wanted to escape his bonds, then he should take up the human role and identity the God of War Ares left behind. Not lost among the masses, but remain someone important based on the merit of Loki's own labors. Either hero or villain or something in between, but just not as Loki the God of Lies.

2. Give Loki the damn throne. Let the person who would usurp the throne see if he can do a better job keeping the golden city of Asgard golden and worthy of the honors bestowed upon it. Give him something to care for.
