Marvel Cinematic Universe: 11 Steps To Redeeming Loki

6. Have Him Bring Back Odin

Whether he's responsible for Odin's disappearance or not - and whether he naively took his throne with good intentions in mind or not - an extremely obvious requirement for Loki to fully redeem himself is to bring his father back and let him have his throne. Everybody saw Loki pretending to be the Allfather at the end of Thor: The Dark World and it definitely looks bad, but the context still isn't known. For all the fans know, Odin could even be in on it. Regardless, the fact is Loki needs to give up the Asgardian throne and hand it over to its rightful ruler regardless of the circumstances. Thor: Ragnarok will be the obvious time for this to happen, as Asgard will need Odin to help fend off Surtur and whatever/whoever the fire demon brings with him into battle.
