And I absolutely share this hc with you! Just look at his doubtful face expression. He looked like he was paralyzed. He didnt’t move and was just observing.
Do you remember when the Ragnarok trailer came out last year and people created a meme with Loki’s suspicious expression because of their similarities? The majority thought of their relation in Norse Mythology where they’re indeed parent and child – that’s just not exactly working for the MCU. So why not switching their roles and making Hela the parent instead of Loki’s daughter. You can’t deny there’s something fishy about this. Loki wouldn’t be so scared if there wasn’t more behind it. I agree, Loki was definitely confused when he saw Hla for the first time.
