It's kinda sad that the topic that T1 tried to poke went over so many people's heads, because so many fans reduce Odin and Loki's conflict to "you lied to me"/"I'm sad I'm not actually your son/heir to the throne", when it's pretty obvious that it goes way deeper than that: Loki mentions how it finally "makes sense" why Odin "favored" Thor and that Loki could never be good enough no matter how much he tried, because Odin wouldn't allow the frost giant to sit on the throne.

He wasn't upset because he wouldn't get the throne, he admits he never wanted it in the first place, and it's not "oh no I'm adopted", it's more of "You took me as a political prisoner, taught me to hate my own kind, all these years I've been trying to figure out why you would always forgive Thor but you are so harsh and cold when it comes to me, and I've tried to be better because I thought I'm doing something wrong, but the reality is that no matter what I do it'll never be enough for you because I was born on the wrong planet with a wrong skin color that you and your people despise so much that you stripped me off it, and no matter how many times you claim to love me, you couldn't show me kindness unless you needed something from me, and it was never about what I do, just who I am".

No, really, this conflict is so much deeper than what fandom makes it seem to be, and the more I think about it the more messed up it gets.

THIS.

Excellent point OP!

(I feel this more than I might have previously since I just got out of an employment relationship where I thought I wasn't doing well enough, but after years of trying, it turned out that my manager is just missing some key skills as a manager and a human. 🙄 It's not me, it's you. And I'm kinda angry about the wasted time and effort now.

I can't imagine how pissed I'd feel if this had been going on my whole life and was about my very identity!)
