War of the realms spoilers!!!
Okay so i know no one cares but this is my prediction for the new loki comic series....
Right. So loki is dead accept that he's not. He's currently being digested in Laufey's stomach (ew) but he's still alive cus he's loki. He must somehow escape from the tummy prison he's in one way or another. And what's all this talk about new responsibilities?! Here's my dumb theory that's definitely not going to happen :
In the cover of loki #1 we see loki wielding mjolnir which leads many people to theories maybe loki becomes worthy of mjolnir. Although most comic covers are nevee thst literal and loki with mjolnir could be just an eye catching, comic selling image, i think tjis could be possible. Throughout the build up to war of the realms loki seemed to be one of the few characters that was trying to warn everyone about the up coming warn; he tells Dr Strange about it and tries to get Jane Foster's Thor to help him try to prevent it. This doesn't work because no one trusts loki and then there's the whole stabbing Frigga issue.
However, it is this which gives loki the most cause to be worthy. He stabs frigga to save her. Loki explains many times that Malekith was going to kill her so by almost killing frigga, loki prevents this. Yet it is not loki's cunning plan that makes him worthy, but his sacrifice. Loki loves frigga more than anything, despite what she does to him in agent of asgard with bringing king loki back to the past. She's the only one who trusts him and loki is willing to destroy this trust to save her. He sacrifices the only positive relationship in his life to protect the realms. He knows that only frigga can prevent Malekith's war of terror and he know the only way to save frigga is to sacrifice his only source if happiness.
Speaking if sacrifice, there's no greater sacrifice than letting your abusive father eat you. This is the only way he can restore the trust of frigga he was forced to sacrifice. He is willing to lay down his life to insure he's believed. Once again, loki puts the realms before his own life, sacrificing his own life to make sure thor is rescued and the realms are saved.
So this along with all the good he did in Dr Strange as the new sorcerer supreme and preventing gamora from destroying the universe with the infinity stones and helping out wolverine in Infinity watch, makes loki worthy. This is all might just be academic since mjolnir was destroyed in the sun, thanks for that Jane Foster. However, thor was trying to find he lost hammer, implying that mjolnir may still exist.
Now, finally, onto my theory. I think that loki may have an epiphany of his worthiness, summon mjolnir and free himself from Laufey's stomach. Thus loki's new responsibility would be mjolnir.
But that's not all! Laufey may be tough but he's not mjolnir-through-the-stomach tough. By killing Laufey, loki becomes the next in line to rule Jotunhiem. Furthermore, killing the previous king seems to be the most respected way to become king. Remember when laufey told loki he wasn't so much angry about loki killing him previously, as much as loki not doing so to take the throne.
This would explain why the preview to issue 2 of the new loki comic calls Stark the King if Midgard and this is why loki seeks him out: he wants some advice king to king. Also, it's just loki's luck to be 'rewarded' with kingship of Jotunhiem. Sort of a 'thanks for saving us all from the war of the realms, now you can rule the frozen wasteland of Jotunhiem you've been stuck in the past year and you can rule all those giants that want you dead and definitely won't listen to anything you say because you're too short! ' loki's current vibe has been one that involves him sauntering around the universe, causing trouble and he's gonna hate having to rule a realm that has been the source of most of his pain.
Just imagine loki doing everything he can not to be king and thor constantly dragging him back to Jotunhiem to make sure he rules them.
Thor, dragging loki by his ear into Jotunhiem: you wanted to be a king and now you are.
Loki: yeah king of asgard, not Jotunhiem, they don't even have WiFi!
Thor: doesn't matter.
Loki: they thought daft punk was a kind of ale!
Thor: welcome to your king your majesty!
Loki: THOR!
Thor, leaving through the bifrost: long may you reign!
So, that's my theory. Sorry for the long read.
