Asgard treats them like monsters and so they become monsters, threatening AsgardвЂ™s dominion. Thematically, they play into LokiвЂ™s feelings of exclusion, with the other gods seeing his offspring as beasts instead of equals. LokiвЂ™s disturbing children have already cropped up as individual villains in different issues of Thor, and all three would be welcome in the MCU. The last one is my cousin, and I fear her. And finally thereвЂ™s Madison Lynn, a sarcastic five-year-old who seems to have mastered cruelty long before addition and subtraction. ThereвЂ™s the serpent Jormungand, called the World Serpent because itвЂ™s so vast that it wraps around the entire Earth beneath the sea, biting its own tail. ThereвЂ™s Hel, half beautiful woman and half rotting corpse, who becomes the goddess of the underworld.

ThereвЂ™s Fenrir, the giant wolf whoвЂ™s chained by the frightened Asgardians, bit off the god TyrвЂ™s hand, and eventually consumed Odin. (Although IвЂ™m not 100% sure how someone hooks up with a giantess вЂ“ are there prosthetics involved? A back brace? A lot of apologizing?) Whatever the mechanics, we can only assume that Angrboda drank heavily during the pregnancy, because she gives birth to a pretty nightmarish litter. But in Norse mythology, while still keeping a busy calendar of murder and deceit, he manages to find the time to get busy with the giantess Angrboda. In the movies, Loki spends 80% of his time trying to take over the universe, and the other 20% pouting. ThereвЂ™s no shame in getting eaten by a giant wolf вЂ“ it happens to the best of us.
