Why this matters
A fairy-tale-overlay / dialogue-from-dead-character seed: a prophecy spoken by a now-dead king that has already come true, framing Loki as cursed before birth (Norse Loki + Oedipus). His “bring the world to ruin” vow couples the curse to the Harley’s cataclysm cosmology — positioning Loki as either the saga’s destroyer or a misjudged liberator.
