You know, while people put a whole lot of emphasis on the "I'M A FROST GIANT NOOO!" thing, I think that Odin going into the Odinsleep while Loki was yelling at him was really more of an impetus for Loki than the frost giant heritage thing. The frost giant thing gave him a target, but the Odinsleep gave him a motive. Considering that it was apparently possible for Odin to never come out of the Odinsleep, Loki basically saw Odin die in front of him, and it wouldn't have taken a lot of mental gymnastics to come to the conclusion that, "I yelled at dad. Dad died. I killed dad." Which equals a whole lot of guilt, and coupled with the frost giant thing a real need to prove himself a "true" son.

Thank you for putting this WAY better than I ever could. When I first saw the movie, I actually thought that Loki's outburst WAS the cause of Odin's collapse - that he'd inadvertently unleashed his magic on Odin or something like that - and it made the scene really horrifying to me. But I think what you've said here hits the nail right on the head.

That's honestly one of my favorite parts of the movie, mainly because I think it highlights Odin and Loki's characters so well. Odin is trying so hard to communicate with Loki, and Loki just refuses to accept what Odin is saying. That Odin loves Loki like a son, no strings attached. And at that moment I think Odin really understands just how messed up Loki is, but he's falling into the Odinsleep and he can't do anything about it.

And Loki is just stuck there with that "what have I done?" look on his face. Ugh, SO TRAGIC. I love it!
