Thor's the star, but Loki has a vital role as a kind of sidekick who's also a recurring problem, and to do that we had to make a couple of tweaks. Basically, we had to finally answer the question of "Is Loki friend or foe?" and the answer is "Yes." Rather than treat "When will Loki betray everyone?" as a scary question looming in the background or as something that won't come up—which can only end in slightly disappointing ways, as either Loki turns Full Evil and loses or his growth or they were, once again, Nice All Along (Or ARE They????)—we treat it as just part of the mythological condition. -- Al Ewing
