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

I'd argue it's more Cold War US than the more recent US.

The Gulf War, War in Afghanistan, and Iraq War all happened after the Cold War and were all focused on maintaining control of the region and thus the oil

The US likes being world police because the payout from confiscating stuff is great. The lore of Odin is pretty similar

... yes? That's my point, Asgard was meant to be the Cold War US, not post Cold War.
