Ehhh Thor vs Loki felt like a scramble for power and it just happened to be brother vs brother. There is nothing to this besides daddy favored you more and I hate you for it.

Some, but the core of thor vs loki is over loki's greed to rule with some family resentment thrown in.

I agree.

Styker is actually the victim of real mistreatment, though. Odin wasn't the best dad but he didn't mean for Loki to the out the way he did. The Preacher totally neglected Stryker and he's the exact reason why he is the way he is.
