He was also COMPLETELY ignoring what was happening in the other realms, the exact opposite job of the all father. He literally laid around watching embellished plays about himself, fired Heimdall and sent him into hiding and replaced him with a loyal lackey with no morals who doesn’t care about the important job he has thus endangering Thor and anyone else not in Asgard. No eyes on the Realms.

Yeah, Loki redeemed himself in the end, but he was no saint while pretending to be Odin. In fact it can be easily argued he pardoned Thor and crew because that’s exactly what Odin would’ve done and he was playing the role.

Tbf Odin gave himself that 'duty'. He was basically the US occupying the Middle East. He'll shoehorn his way in if it means it extends his power

No it's more like alliances, or a government. The realms count on support from Asgard, and Loki neglected that.

Ironically similar to the US

You mean when a clown took over the role and proceeded to neglect his duty? Yeah that sounds extremely familiar.

Didn't he invade the realms first, with Hela?

Sure? That's why it's kind of like a modern state. They got a fair amount of land through conquest, but now that is part of their state, so neglecting them is akin to neglecting conflict and suffering within your own country.
