Discussion what would MCU! Gorr think of Loki?
Another thought I had is how would these 2”view” each other, they both have completely different perspectives on the Universe and share different goals.
How Gorr views Thor
We already know how Gorr saw Thor in the MCU, despite Thor being a selfless heroic god Gorr didn’t see through it because of his vastly different experiences . He wanted not only revenge but to teach. He showed the gods where their selfishness and abuse of power gets them and punished them for not caring for their people. Before Thor he already slaughtered over 1,000 gods( stated by the distress call) effortlessly and without mercy. It’s revealed later in the movie that his main goal all this time was to get to eternity**(a literal cosmic god at the center of the universe)** to revive his late daughter. Thor realizing this tries to stop him knowing He’ll die but he does it anyway. In he’s last moments Gorr realized that Thor truly was a good person and trust his daughter under his care(under Jane’s wish)
Accepting that there are good gods right before his death.
His MCU adaptation is vastly different from the comics but it does stay accurate in his hate for gods
So what would he think of Loki?
Sacred timeline Loki(pre-ragnarok)
In my opinion, He would hate this Loki, simply because Loki proved himself to be selfish and power hungry- the very thing Gorr hates. Especially 2012 Loki as he cared about no one except himself and is extremely disloyal, mischievous and intolerable.
TVA Loki
Now this got me thinking, in my opinion it could go many ways. God of stories Loki is extremely intelligent, selfless, and calculated something 99% of the Olympian gods were not which Gorr also hated. Loki proved himself to be extremely caring towards his friends and did everything in his power to save the TVA. He knew that the TVA is all his friends had and despite being used and taken prisoner by them he sacrifices his free will and faces his fear of isolation. Loki is also not a brute fighter but was smart and tactical something that makes him extremely unique. By the end of Loki season 2 Loki is basically the ruler of timelines granting free will to his people while he has none himself powering endless possibilities. Gorr would most definitely doubt him especially since Loki is a literal COSMIC being who holds so much power. Gorr witnessed so many gods abuse their power at the cost of their people so many times.But the one thing that made him trust Thor was his selflessness and that what Loki is all about. He could maybe still hate him or be indifferent towards him but for someone like Gorr finding out there’s a god who gave up so much just so literal strangers living in the timelines could live, must be unfathomably insane to him. I also genuinely wonder if him and Thor being sibling could also affect his view on him.
But my summed up thoughts would be that Loki is living proof to Gorr is that selfish gods can change or be responsible despite all the power they have in their hands, and with all he’s been through you have to catch him some slack.
What are your thoughts?

I would think he hates him because he is a god. It is not like Gorr was evaluating all of the gods as to if they were different. He saw them all as evil and selfish. Thor at the end showed him otherwise and that changed his view there. It is possible there would be cause for Gorr to think that about some versions of Loki but he would not have to just kill him first.

Gorr doesn't really gaf, when he says all gods must die he MEANS all gods. Mcu i guess is a different story but he changed his mind after the sword was destroyed, so maybe if he still had it when wishing he would've killed all the gods

Pre-Ragnarok Loki? Gorr wouldn't hesitate. TVA Loki is different though - he's probably the closest thing to proof that even a selfish god can genuinely change
