Loki: I don’t enjoy hurting people. I… I don’t enjoy it. I do it because I have to, because I’ve had to.

Mobius: Okay, explain that to me.

Loki: Because it’s part of the illusion. It’s the cruel, elaborate trick conjured by the weak to inspire fear.

Mobius: A desperate play for control. You do know yourself.

Loki: A villain.

Mobius: That’s not how I see it.
