TheLokiseries painted Tom Hiddleston’s character in the most beautiful lights possible, after years of trying to find some higher meaning in his life. Desperately trying to amount to something greater and leave a legacy, he single-handedly became one of the most important characters in the MCU right now.
Becoming the God of Stories, fans were brought to tears as they saw their favorite angsty character finally get a shot at saving, not the world or the universe, but the multiverse as a whole. However, a theory suggests that this isn’t the first time the character has saved lives in the billions.
Hela and Her Glorious Purpose
InThor: Ragnarok, there is an iconic scene of Cate Blanchett’s Hela in the throne room, destroying Odin’s throne, as well as the royal mural that depicts the story of how Asguard created its empire. Revealing the truth, she mentioned that she and her father were a force to be reckoned with, destroying everything that came into their path.
He used her as his weapon and conquered the realms, and the image she painted of him was completely different from the character the audience was familiar with—a ruthless dictator who wanted more and more power. Rule more and more kingdoms until everything the light touched with him.

However, something changed in him. From a dictator, Hela’s father turned into something she despised; a morally responsible man who did not want to kill everything in his path. Seeing that his daughter would come as a hindrance in his new plan for his life and Asgard, he imprisoned her and started a new life.
Odin’s New-Found Moral Compass Could Have Come Due To Loki
While there is no denying that the story of how Asgard became the empire that it is and how Hela was imprisoned is quite interesting, one cannot help but wonder what caused Odin to have a change of heart. There is one possible explanation that could help understand the God’s new-found moral compass.
Jotunheim was one of the many realms that stood in the way of Asgard as they were building their legacy. Their war lasted a very long time, and, while Odin did win, there was a concerning level of casualties left on the losing side. When the war was over, Odin tookLokiwith him to Asgard, after discovering that his father had left him for dead.

It could be possible that seeing the destruction that he caused in the eyes of a little baby caused Odin to realize the bodies that he was leaving in his wake. The people that he was killing, the lives that he was destroying, and the empires that he was crumbling to fulfill his hunger.
Considering the possibility thatLokiis the reason why Odin decided to silence his violent appetite, it could be possible that he saved the universe from the wrath of Hela and her father.
