Is #Loki a hero or a villain? Yes. Now mind you this is the MCU version, the character was quite the villain for most of his history in the pages of the Thor comic. In the movies though he really doesn't start as a classic villain, more like a child seeking a parent's attention and approval. He is both mythology and comics is a trickster who walks the line between hero and villain. It's interesting that the Thor and Avengers movies Loki had been portrayed as a villain, especially in Marvel Comic
