Saw it for the first time today, and had some Loki questions:

 

 

Loki's motivations: It seemed that at first the plan was to trick Thor into going against Odin, resulting in his banishment and putting Loki in line for the throne. This was then taken a step further when Odin collapsed (Loki had nothing to do with it?), and he plotted with the ice giants to have them come in and murder the comatose Odin to make Loki king.

 

Then it seems he changed the plan, instead choosing to save Odin, and then wipe out the ice giants, so that Odin could see that Loki had what it took to be a king (even though those same qualities were what prevented Thor from being crowned...). It seems the first plan was stronger.

 

But regardless...why was Loki revealed to be an ice giant? Was this something from the comics? Because it really didn't add anything to the plot, and made it unnecessarily complicated. His jealousy with his brother, his desire to prove himself to his father, his magic powers (that he could have used instead of the freeze power) and his secret deal with the ice giants would have all made perfect sense without him being an ice creature.

 

 

My impression is that Loki's discovery of his heritage was the catalyst for his change of plans. Realizing that he had inadvertently sided with the father that had abandoned him (Jaffe) against the father that had saved and raised him, Loki had a change of heart and decided on a new course of action against the Frost Giant king.
