We recently bid our own fond farewell to one of the MCU’s most compelling characters who fell at the hand of Thanos in Infinity War, the Trickster God himself Loki of Asgard. He went from being the franchise’s best villain–a character we could never have imagined mourning–to someone whose final act was to bravely give his life standing up to the Mad Titan to save his brother. But the tributes have only just began for the fallen son of Odin, and this video chronicling his journey from enemy to hero will have you tearing up for him all over again.

This wonderfully put together, touching remembrance to the God of Mischief comes from the YouTube channel Top Screen, and it covers Loki’s entire life. It includes when Odin rescued the orphaned Frost Giant child, to the struggles of growing up in Thor’s shadow, to his frustration with not measuring up to his brother or being granted the throne, all of which drove him to commit atrocities, and finally to his redemption. But it’s also an homage to Tom Hiddleston‘s performance, one of the best and most layered from the entire MCU.

Oh, you didn’t believe us when we said it would make you cry? And yet here you are, hoping that somehow Doctor Strange can use the Time Stone to bring him back. Who would have ever thought we’d want that after the first Thor?

What a strange, wonderful, and sad journey it was.
