A personal defiance, sure, but that's the best one can frame it. I think of all the good he could have done, if he was never caught.
To have someone so powerful on the side of humanity when the scales are so ill balanced against us would have been a boon. Who fights for humanity, when the Gods are feeling wrathful? The balance we were talking about- how it isn't there at all. He could have evened the odds if he was still around. Even with his sacrifice, he's still seen as a hero, but he could have done so much more.
[Spoken, perhaps, like someone who didn't learn the lesson of "your quest of knowledge can have unintended consequences."]
I remember him for his gifts. Not his punishment. Maybe I'm... unusual in that.
[But as someone who is the son of Loki, is it really that unusual?]
