Loki is undoubtedly one of most popular villains/antiheroes of Marvel Cinematic Universe. But he would t have risen to popularity without his amazing dynamic with his bror, Thor. Both Tom Hiddleston's Loki and Chirs Hemsworth's Thor were introduced in Phase one film, Thor.

ir brorly love-hate relationship was beautifully depicted in film, as Loki was t only Thor's arch-nemesis but also his closest friend. Over course of MCU films, relationship between Loki and Thor was brilliantly developed, as, despite his lust for power and desire to become a ruler, Loki still loved Thor as a bror. In first scene of Avengers: Infinity War, Loki even sacrificed himself in an attempt to save Thor's life, which was something that he would do for one else.
