History Heartwarming / ThemIGHTYThor

--> Old Loki to Kid Loki: Change or die? I would ''rather'' die than not change.

* Loki once turned Thor into a frog. The story was played seriously, and even had heartwarming moments as Thor defended the Central Park frogs against an army of rats, befriending them in the process.

* ''The Mighty Thor'' #338 had the moment when Odin found out that Beta Ray Bill has taken Mjolnir and Thor is trapped on Midgard as Don Blake. After a quick scan, Odin finds his son and instantly teleports him home as his true self. When Thor thanks him, confessing that he thought he was forever stranded without his true form on Earth. At that, Odin gently chides him that a son should have had faith that his father would of course come to help him.

* His talk with a priest in Thor: Heaven & Earth #3 [[http://arousinggrammar.com/2013/02/19/life-questions-with-thor/ 1.]]

* In ''The Mighty Thor 12.1'' Loki's so happy Thor's back and is cheering. Thor warns him not to strain his throat with all the yelling. Loki's response? "'''Worth it'''! Long live the Mighty Thor!" he's just so happy to be with his brother again.

** Kid Loki also makes sure to remind his older self that he can only give advice that Kid Loki wants. He doesn't want to be evil again either.
** There's another cute moment when Volstagg narrates how Loki tricked Thor when they were teens, hoping Thor would embarrass himself (he did, but not to the extent Loki wanted). The heartwarming bit is when Kid Loki wonders ''why'' he'd ever want to embarrass Thor so badly. BigBrotherWorship, thy name is Kid Loki.
* As an effect of the one directly above, Loki telling his "troops" that their main priority is to keep the Serpent away from Thor if they can (didn't happen, but it was a nice thought). He also says that they need to try and keep as many mortals as possible out of harm's way, because Thor cares so much about mortals and Loki decides that's good enough for him.
** Also a CrowningMomentOfAwesome, because he's a preteen god give orders while sitting on a swing.

* Loki writing Leah as a savior and caregiver to the Serpent after he was beaten by Giants. While it's a ploy to combat the Serpent and save his brother Thor, the moment was so tender and pure that becomes clear that Loki and Leah, despite their bickering and name-calling, really love each other. The scene is so tender, so short that you feel the Serpent's-Loki's-pain at the prospect of a lost love.
** Taken UpToEleven in Journey Into Mystery 644.

* In ''Journey into Mystery 641'' Kid Loki says goodbye to Damion Hellstrom, quietly lamenting that no one trusts him. Hellstrom comes back at him with the "trust you as far as I can throw you" cliche...and then:
--> '''Daimon''': Luckily that’s a fair way. You’re tiny and I’m pretty damn strong.
* In ''Journey into Mystery 643'', Thori and Loki seems to be getting along for the first time ever since Loki accept Thori to be his dog. [[spoiler: This turns into a TearJerker when Thori betrayed Loki and handed him to his father, the Hel-wolf.]]
* Loki [[spoiler: risks the whole Nine Realms for Leah, not for himself, but because he loved her enough to give her the ability to decide for herself.]]
--> [[spoiler:''Loki wrote of the handmaiden of Leah, who stood beside him, saved the world and doomed herself. He wrote of the stern girl whose few kind words were more precious than Asgard's entire treasury. He wrote in a frenzied hand, trying to express the inexpressible. He ignored the shudder as the Dark Asgard's engines crumbled in dust. He ignored the lurch as it slid from the sky. He ignored the masonry transmuting into debris, cascading around him. And he told his lie to the best of his ability. Because in the end, the lies you choose to tell define you. The lies you cling to because the truth is too horrible to contemplate. He prayed it was sufficient. Because he couldn't bear to think he lived in a world where it wasn't true.'']]
* In #645, it's revealed that Hela is [[spoiler:Leah.]] Sure, it's a sad book, but think about it, Loki's BFF has been with him the whole time, helping him with his plans, bringing him back from the dead, letting him borrow her clothes when he was in Sif's body. Yep, Best Friends Forever indeed...still so sad.
* In the same issue:
--> '''Kid!Loki''': Oh Thor. You really are the biggest, sweetest idiot in the whole nine realms.

While it's a ploy to combat the Serpent and save his brother Thor, the moment was so tender and pure that becomes clear that Loki and Leah, despite their bickering and name-calling, have developed a young romance. The scene is so tender, so short that you feel the Serpent's-Loki's-pain at the prospect of a lost love.

-> '''Odin''': Odin chooses to stay here and die each day for our people.
-> '''Thor''': No. This day, father, you shall not die. This day we stand, and fight, together.

---> Old Loki to Kid Loki: Change or die? I would ''rather'' die than not change.

* Loki's adoption used to be this. Come on, a king taking in the child of his hated enemy (in most continuities, an enemy that he just killed din an epic battle) and raising the kid as his own? That's beautiful right there. Then it was retconned to have all been a plot by a time traveling Loki, who manipulated events so Odin would take him in-knowing what he would do later. No wonder Odin's patience with Loki has clearly run out in recent issues. Loki really DID cause everything.

** Well, the film version still counts.
