[intrigueing]

I do think he's a layered and fascinating character, but his layers and fascinatingness all comes from inside his own head -- it's his perception and his emotions and his thoughts morphing into delusions, which are so simple and so timeless and so relatable and so fundamental, that make him interesting. Not the events he actually experiences.

I never really understood how Loki was "wounded". Wahhh. I'm adopted. Wahhh. My daddy yelled at me for trying to commit genocide. Wahhh. My big brother is cooler than me. Wahhh. The way in which he "wahhh"'s is absolutely fascinating and I do sympathize, because come on, everyone has felt like him at some point, but that doesn't mean it isn't still just "wahhh"-ing.

[truxillogical]

I think he could be consider "wounded" if only because of how found out about his true heritage. The implication I always got was that he and Thor grew up with stories of Frost Giants being not-people, just monsters. And that may have been his own perception back then, because it sure wasn't Odin sitting him down and explaining that they were scum. But at any rate, it seemed to me that he found out, not just that he was adopted (bit of a shock, especially in a royal family, but not "wounding), but that he wasn't "human" for lack of a word with equal impact; instead he was one of the monsters. And that was a problem for him. And it's almost exclusively a problem in his own head, but the result is that he just lashes out and blames everyone else for nothing and everything.

So like you say, all in his head. But still messes with him enough that he feels wounded and can't really reconcile what he "knows" and what he's "learned."

Or something.

I swear, though, Hiddleston is totally channeling Loki or some kind of nutty trickster in all of his interviews. I think that quote is almost entirely sincere, and absolutely how he gets into Loki's mindset, but at the same time, he doesn't quite believe it and likes teasing fans with it. (Because hell, if you're getting into Loki's mindset, you have to start with half-lying to yourself anyway.)
