Reasons why Loki is still alive:
1. Tom Hiddleston signed a six film deal, so we can expect him to be in Avengers 4.
2. Loki is known as a âSilvertongueâ, so his choice of words is always extremely important. So, when he says âundying fidelityâ. I think this is an allusion to the fact that he is not dead.
3. Further on from the âSilvertongueâ point, Loki says âI promise you, brother, the sun will shine on us againâ. This seems too far out of place to be a coincidence. I think Loki is trying to subtly tell Thor that he has a trick up his sleeve that may end up saving them.
4. Loki has already feigned death so many times, is it really so far fetched to think he has done it again?
5. He disappeared from the scene for several minutes and we have no idea what he was doing during that time. He then reappears super cocky and arrogant which is a direct contrast to how terrified heâd been a few minutes prior. This seems to suggest that perhaps he is using an illusion of some sort.
6. He emphasizes the fact that he is a âGod of Mischiefâ, thus perhaps hinting to Thor that he is about to perform a trick, or to allude to the audience that all is not as it seems.
7. Loki did not change into his Jotun form after he died. This seems odd because his Aesir form is an illusion, so it should have disappeared when he died. Furthermore, there are a couple of mentions of Loki being âthe rightful King of Jotunheimâ and ânot Asgardianâ, which may be an attempt to draw the audienceâs attention to this fact.
8. It was very uncharacteristic of Loki to act so impulsive by stabbing Thanos with a small dagger. It seems to me that the attack was more of a distraction than a real attack. The Loki we know would have attempted to use some sort of illusion or trick in order to attack Thanos and mean it.
9. Tom Hiddleston mentions in a recent interview that âChaos isnât something thatâs threatening to Lokiâ and that âEverything is fineâ. This seems to suggest that Loki is alright, and hasnât actually died.
10. Lokiâs choice of last words, âYou will never be a godâ, introduces the idea that maybe Loki has survived due to the fact that heâs a God, and cannot be killed so easily.
11. If the Russo brothers wanted to make Lokiâs death truly believable, they would have had Loki using his illusions, and Thanos seeing straight through them and then killing him. The fact that none of Lokiâs powers were used at all, makes it seem that he has perhaps feigned death.
12. Finally, I refuse to believe that Thorâs last words to Loki are âYou really are the worst brotherâ, it just seems so wrong to me after all theyâve been through.
