This article looks at the character Loki from the Thor movies and discusses how he suffers from trauma from being adopted. Key quote: "The real tragedy of Loki of Asgard in the Marvel Cinematic Universe is how his character arc perpetuates the “savior myth of adoption.” Loki becomes a martyr to a system and a society that celebrates adoption while ignoring the fundamental grief and emotional damage induced by family separation. His is the story of a little blue baby icicle that dismisses a critical biological and psychological truth: adoption is trauma."
