Just based on the films, now that his dad Laufey is dead. He has a good claim to rule Jotunheim.
So what he was abandoned for being a runt and hes way short in comparison to the other Jotuns, he still has a claim to the throne, the exiled prince come back to take his throne and become king? Its so Targaryen!
Why did he not try to do this? hes a highly intelligent, charismatic and skilled in all the kingly ways. He knows how to lead and he knows how to make war and create peace, he was on Asgard, Thors understudy essentially. If Thor died Loki stepped in so he had to know all the lines of the play. He got all the same education as Thor precisely for this so its not like hes ill-equipped.
He may not have even had to go through with the whole scheme in the first movie after he found out his true ancestry. He could have marched on Jotunheim and gathered a following and gone to his father and taken steps(schemed most likely) to be legitimized in the Jotun court.(Laufey probably wouldnt welcome him warmly and just admit the past so freely) all that "hey remember me? your son you left out to die? im Baaaaaack ^-^(yeah Lok would have to pull some strings)
Perhaps he could kill Laufey at the right moment on his own turf and after claiming it for his own.
Sure he was the shame of the royal family due to his size but he more than makes up for it. Hed be the Napoleon Bonaparte of the Jotuns. They would follow a short guy if the short guys Loki. Hes fucking Loki! He'd Game of thrones the shit out of that place!
Why he so hung up on Asgard? or stupid earth humans for that matter?
Im sure die hard fans of the comic who know every plotline in every universe will say "He already tried that in issue blah blah blah" and if noone says that because it never happened.....WTF! The good claim, the birthright, all the skills needed plus his overall charm. HE'D HAVE PULLED IT OFF!
Why he always schemeing in the wrong place? Leave earth alone, leave Asgard to Thor and take Jotunheim!
He wants to be a king and run shit? theres a whole realm right there ripe for the taking! and he doesent need dragons either.
