dude it’s the fact that classic loki didn’t just conjure a life size replica of asgard - the place he dreamed of yet could never return to. it’s the fact that he added lightning and thunder, because he couldn’t envision his home without thor’s presence like a part of the very atmosphere, a part of the living, breathing soul of asgard. it’s the fact that, in recreating it, he also recreated and relived ragnarok and watched it fall once again. it’s the fact that he found glorious purpose in the face of annihilation, just like he did when he was younger
