One of the most interesting things about the Hela episode to me in terms of Loki and Thor is that is showcases just how much weight Odin puts into the roles he gives his children. He tries to kill Hela because she asks him to back down. He's angry at her because she's no longer under his control. He backs down ONLY when he realizes that she's more powerful than he is and he doesn't stand a chance against her. Odin collects objects and he collects people because both have uses to him, not because he cares about them.

He's crippled the nine realms by taking all their powerful objects from them and then forced them to rely on him and see him as a savior. But he's only a savior because he ruined them to begin with.

All Hela wants is to escape his control and when she finally achieves that and manages to find herself, the first thing she does is offer Odin MERCY and he tries to strangle her to death.

this, more than anything, means two things to me:

- Thor was NOT banished because he tried to kill the Jotuns, he was banished because he broke out of the "role" Odin assigned to him, which was to be the perfect, loving, warm prince who can do no wrong. The light of Asgard, all the best parts of Odin put into his descendant, and when Thor tried to kill the Jotuns, it made Asgard look weak and Odin was furious with Thor because of that.

Loki was put in prison because he could no longer serve his use to Odin anymore. Loki was intended to become the ruler of Jotunheim eventually, and once he tried to take over Earth, there would be no one who would see him as the rightful king of anything, so Loki was put in a box and shoved under the bed.

It's just so interesting to see that they fully leaned into Odin's darker side this episode and it didn't feel OOC, it just felt like they finally pulled off Odin's mask. That seeing Hela happy was what broke Odin, because, I think deep down what made him try to kill her was that he was jealous she found something he never could: peace.

Quotes from "ANDOR" which keep haunting me:

"Gets to you, doesn't it? That's what a reckoning sounds like."

"That's just love. Nothing you can do about that."

"But this time... You can't stay and I can't go."

"Power doesn't panic."

"I burn my life to make a sunrise that I know I’ll never see. And the ego that started this fight will never have a mirror or an audience or the light of gratitude."

"Never more than twelve."

"ONE WAY OUT!"

"I've made my mind a sunless place. I share my dreams with ghosts."

"I can't swim."

"Let's call it war."

"Tyranny requires constant effort. Authority is brittle. It breaks, it leaks. Oppression is the mask of fear. Remember that."

"Freedom is a pure idea."

"I show you the stone in my hand, you miss the knife at your throat."

"Tell him I love him more than anything he could ever do wrong."

"The Empire is a disease that thrives in darkness, it is never more alive than when we sleep."

“In one scene, The Countess, portrays The Lady in Black, who comes to visit the grave of Rudolph Valentino. This character was based on the story of a woman who would visit the grave of Valentino once a month to place a single red rose on his tomb. Her identity remains unknown to this day.”
