Odin is Actually Supportive of Loki in One Important & Heartwarming Way
The All-Father of Asgard, Odin, has shown that he's very supportive of his child Loki in the most important and heartwarming way. In the comics, Loki is viewed as a gender-fluid character. They've taken multiple forms that include both male and female personas. Comics like Thor Annual #18 and Thor (2007) #5 have shown them taking a female form in order to find ways to outwit their brother, Thor Odinson. In fact, the latter has them taking a body that was originally "a body meant for Sif, which he kept for years," according to a Pride Spotlight on the character from Marvel. Gender is a construct that means nothing to Loki, and their greatest nuisance, Thor, is also one of their biggest allies.
Many comic fans have noted that Thor is one of the best brothers in comics because he is so supportive of Loki, as shown by them constantly joining forces. Rather than misgendering his sibling or double taking whenever Loki feels more comfortable in a female form, Thor's a man who goes with the flow. He recognizes Loki for who they are. It's a sibling rivalry that has become so treasured by fans over the years. However, it turns out that Thor is not the only one in the family that is supportive of Loki.
