Love it! But even with Asgardian lifespans, 1000 years seems unfair. Then again, Odin's always been a bit of a jerk in the MCU!

I've really enjoyed the series.

Well, if Asgardians have a lifespan of about 5000 years, then Loki got sentenced for one fifth of his life. It's like someone getting 15-20 years in prison. In that light, it's not too unfair, especially since he was supposed to be executed.

Odin is a hands off kind of parent, and a stern king that doesn't like opposition. I think if our culture was more like ancient Norse, his response wouldn't be out of place. We're a lot more liberal now. Not that I condone his behavior, but it's in keeping with the background we have for him as well as the MCU. I try following Canon characterization as much as possible for the stories. It's going to be interesting with the next arc... :)

For some reason, I had 900 years in my head as the lifespan, which made 1000 years seem totally unfair and gratuitous. If the lifespan is 5000, then it's not nearly so bad.

Sometimes I WISH our culture was more strict in penalties. Slaps on the wrist don't do anything to curb dangerous behaviors....

Next arc? AWESOME!

I'm not sure where the 5000 year lifespan came from, but I think it's from the artbooks, or maybe some behind the scenes info. I forgot where I found it.

Oh yes, we have another arc. I'm working on #16 right now, and there likely has to be a #17. It's not finalized in my head yet. Not bad for one small idea, huh? :)
