Picture at 3:49 is by sandara. I'm sorry but I don't know the rest. I just used google. A bit about Loki: Loki is the Norse god of fire, as well as trickster. He is the son of two giants, Fárbauti (cruel striker) and Laufey (or Nál which means "needle", implying that she was skinny and weak.). His two brothers (in which were to be beside him in Ragnarok) are Býleistr (bee-lighting) and Helblindi (All blind or hel-blinder). He is referred to as the blood-brother of Odin. Loki becomes harbinger of Ragnarok and the father of the three chaos monsters: Fenrir, Jörmungandr, and Hel. Loki's mischief and intellect is not to be underestimated, as he is ultimately although indirectly responsible for the deaths of Balder and Thor, which were caused by Hodr and Jörmungandr (respectively). Loki appeared as the primary antagonist on Marvel Entertainment's 2011 film Thor as a son of Odin and brother of Thor. Loki was portrayed by British actor Tom Hiddleston. In Norse Mythology Beginning In the beginning, Loki was merely a personification of fire and the hearth. As the stories went on, he became a devil. Sources indicated that Loki was originally a demon, or a Jotunn, since he born to two giants. Loki, as a result of sharing blood with Odin, became an Aesir, making him Odin's brother. In contrast with popular movies, Loki is actually Thor's step-uncle, not his brother. Asgard's Wall It is said that when the brick mason, giant builder of Asgard's walls, demanded an unreasonably high price for his work (he requested the sun, the moon, and Freya as his wife), it was Loki's idea to give him six months to build the wall. Thinking that surely the man would fail, and that Loki's plan was infallible, the gods all agreed; all except Freya, who was part of the bargain. When the brick mason and his stallion, Svadilfari, had made much progress on the wall before his time expired, the gods all turned to Loki, threatening him with death if he didn't find a way to make sure the wall wasn't finished within the sixth month. Fearing for his life, Loki took the form of a young mare and enticed Svadilfari away from his master, causing the mason to lose the bet. The union of Loki and Svadilfari brought Odin his eight-legged steed Sleipnir. The Theft of Idunn's Apples Loki was also responsible for the theft and return of Idunn (from the clutches of Þjazi, father of Skadi) and her apples. He also appears beside Thor during many of his outings to Jötunheimr. He even shared Thor's shame when Thor dressed as Freya to retrieve his hammer (Loki was dressed as a nurse). The Death of Balder It was Loki who talked Hodr into throwing the mistletoe branch at his twin brother Balder, and therefore he is the true murderer of the god of light. In the Lokasenna After Balder's death, Aegir, god of the sea, invited all of the gods to his home so as they may forget their woes. It is here that Loki commits his final offense before his binding. Here he insults Bragi, calling him a coward and a poor man. He then goes on to insult Idunn, Gefjun, Odin, Frigg, Freyja, Njord, Freyr, Tyr, Heimdall, Skadi and finally Sif. After this, he is chased away by Thor. The Binding of Loki After Loki had been chased away by Thor for insulting all the gods and goddesses, Loki was then sought out and chained to a rock by the entrails of his son Narfi, who had been torn to pieces by his son, Vali, who had been transformed into a ravenous wolf. The faithful Sigyn kept watch over her husband, catching the poison from the serpent that Skadi placed over Loki's head. It was said that, when Sigyn left to empty the bowl, the poison would drip into Loki's eyes. His writhing from the pain caused earthquakes. He was chained until the day of Ragnarök, the end of the gods, where he will fight amongst the jotnar and face Heimdall. Upon the field of Vígríðr, the two will slay each other. http://mythology.wikia.com/wiki/Loki
