In the early Norse myths, Loki appears to be seen as a trickster spirit that while not always helpful wasn't outright evil. It appears that sometime in the middle years of Norse culture, he eventually became seen as an evil god that had to be locked away under the world and tortured for eternity.
What if the Norsemen had not changed their attitude towards Loki, or had even come to respect him? Would this lead to a societal change where trickery and cunning was as respected as martial valour?
Or would it simply make the comic book Loki more of an anti-hero or comedian?
