If Thor's evil alter-ego ever breaks free from his 'throne', he'll be doing so as the new God of Lies, and that may just come with some new powers and a rise in his threat level. Will he continue to operate as the God of Stories and Outcasts? What does that look like? While it certainly seems as though a new Loki series from Marvel is in order (especially with Loki's Disney+ series coming soon), it's likewise going to be interesting to see if Loki's actions with Blake will ever backfire. It's going to be interesting to see where Loki goes from here. However, Donald Blake did claim that he wanted to be a god, though Loki granting his request clearly showed him that being one isn't always what it's cracked up to be, as he can evidently attest.

Subjecting Blake to such a life and punishment when all Blake wanted was to no longer be imprisoned by the gods is particularly cruel, even if it is deserved based upon Blake's terrible actions. While this is certainly a new development for Loki and his ongoing journey in the comics, it also proves that Loki's not quite a hero in the Marvel Universe. However, this punishment now belongs to Blake thanks to Loki giving him his old title, renouncing his role as the God of Lies. As such, the issue ends with Blake having been chained to Loki's old 'throne', with a menacing serpent above him dripping venom into his eyes, an old punishment meant for Loki from actual Norse myth. Instead, Loki convinced Thor to let him deal with Blake, and the King of Asgard conceded. With his attempts to destroy all those who had wielded Thor's power and desire to cut down the World Tree having failed, Odin was about to kill Blake, though Thor stopped his father from doing so. Now, Loki has officially given up his role and title as the God of Lies with the defeat of Donald Blake, Thor's human alter-ego, who was corrupted and turned evil.

More importantly, Loki has taken on new roles such as the God of Stories in Al Ewing's Loki: Agent of Asgard, realizing that a lie was nothing more than a story, leading to him rewriting his destiny as an overt villain and forging a new path for himself.

Largely in part to Loki's popularity and redemption in the MCU, the former God of Lies has likewise been given his own redemption in the Marvel Comics Universe, seeing him much more on the side of light (though every once and while still working towards his own agendas).
