Okay a few things.
The Russo Brothers broke down the heroes of Infinity War... and they included Loki!
(skip to about 9:30 for Loki)
Now, some people in the comments are upset they didn't say
more about him, but personally, I'm glad they included him at all, considering he only appeared for a few minutes (granted, it included his death, but the same can be said for many characters) and specifically referred to him as a 'hero' and said that he revealed his true colours in his scene. (though one with a dark past) I think that sort of acknowledgement of his character arc bodes well for a possible JIM style resurrection.

Unlike the video, it still seems to be playing him up as a bad guy, no matter how little sense that makes next to the stories being told in Thor and Infinity Wars (which, while i have been critical of it in terms of how it's put together, i do think he is going to be on the right side of things in the end. For a start, it looks like he's going to prevent a lot more deaths at Gamora's hands). but... i had an idea...
So with the discussion about Knull, and then the Venomized Loki Pop, i remembered something. When Loki was telling Cap about the first Celestial that came and died under what is now the arctic, when it was shown dying, it wasn't bugs that poured out of it.... it was black ooze. The bugs did emerge from the ooze, so that makes this a bit iffy... but still. What if this Celestial was the host of the first Symbiote, or more accurately proto-symbiote? We saw in Knull's origin that the first gods he fought were the Celestials, after all. It would still make all the Dark Celestials the host of a parasite of sorts, just... one we've seen before, or at least an early version of it. Especially when you consider that it seems Knull is making his big comeback on JUST as the Dark Celestials arrive. Like they even mention the Celestials falling from the sky. It seemed like that was just to explain why the Avengers weren't helping fight the big symbiote dragon, but it may be something more. Given the connection of Knull to the Thor side of things, with both Thor's lightning leading to the Symbiotes gaining individual sentience, and then the Necrosword being used by Gorr, it wouldn't be that far fetched for all this to be connected. And it could explain Loki's behaviour if he has a proto-symbiote bonded to him. Just saying, I won't be too surprised if on Wednesday this turns out to be the case.
ps. I made Hela, Tyr and Fenris in the sims, and got them all set up with the right family relations and got her hitched to Karnilla. I had to use a cheat to do that and still keep her romantic relationship to Balder intact, and to not have to make Hela and Karnilla actually
like each other. and getting all those characters in one place was like herding cats, so no real good screenshots, but I will share what I have once i am done making Valkyrie and maybe Angela for the Asgard house. ps. I made Hela a serial killer... or well, more accurately it's me, deleting doors and the like, so they could live on a lot full of ghosts, so that's kind of fun.
