His motivations right now have more to do with trying to escape his old role, or fate in general, and that will likely continue. It's likely he has a good role now, so it's a step up for sure, and I think he'd realize that, but it still means his destiny is not really his own. I am not sure how you could use that to power a weapon though.
honestly they are probably about equal, but they utilize magic in different ways, so it is a bit hard to do a straight comparison, and of course Loki is also a god, so has that going for him on top of the magic.
I was just using the recent events in the comics, as to why it could have a worthyness enchantment. Stormbreaker has that as part of it's enchantment, so if a weapon was forged from a chunk of it, it would likely inherit that enchantment, is all. also, yeah, story reasons for the moment, if Loki is taking Thor's place, then... well, it just kinda fits, especially after he lifted Mjiolnir last issue, I am sure that's going to come into play at some point, and I think attaching the worthyness enchantment to a weapon that better suits him is a nice compromise and has the side benefit of not necessarily having Thor lose his hammer again so soon after the last time, and I do think it could help Loki to have something keeping him on the right track. And I just think smashing Stormbreaker has to have a point behind it beyond showing that Thor was behaving badly, and just putting it back together and nothing else would seem like a bit of a copout, imo. But if they could use it as an opportunity to make a second weapon out of it... then smashing it could have a bit more to it.
BUT because, in my hypothetical situation, it is just a chunk, possibly just a small one, it could be that the enchantment is lessened, (maybe not like, completely unmovable like Mjolnir or Stormbreaker, just... heavy enough that it's not really usable, or something) or you could add new enchantments in to the new weapon, like incorporate the Casket of Ancient Winters to incorporate the frost giant thing and build off the end of WotR, or maybe also use the pieces of Gram if that's still around to have that enchantment again, or something new... so it could be a bit of old and a bit of new, which could represent the whole situation too.
Donny Cates did his book club with his wife again this week, normally, because they are talking about other people's books and all, his own stuff doesn't come up much, but this week Megan read a Dr Strange book, and it came out while talking about it, that, though she loves Loki, (hopefully this means he will treat Loki well to please her) and is married to Donny, she has not read his Dr Strange story! so they talked about that a bit, and in a future episode they will have her read that, so that should be interesting. Also, during the questions section, someone asked if Loki and Thor's relationship would be explored more in his Thor story and he said "of course" and that it would really start issue 7 or issue 9.
Also, they are getting a dog soon, a beagle and they are naming it Bats, so that's adorable. And, go give it a vote up if you could, Cates has been targeted by Comicsgaters because he told them to go **** themselves on twitter like a year ago, and that got him on their **** list, so that's why it has so many dislikes
