And I get what you're saying. It's like the Oracle in the first Matrix movie, or you know -- when you lied to me to stop me from shooting myself. Sometimes what people need to hear is a lie, but -- I think -- I think when it's right. It's the honest thing to do. I think what is right... Is relative, like you said, and so is honesty. But the truth isn't.
People were honest when they proclaimed the world was flat. But it wasn't the truth. Telling Neo he wasn't "the one" wasn't the truth, but it was honestly what he needed to do.
And you're right. Superheroes lie about who we are -- I've lied about who I was beyond that, and there is nothing wrong with that. As long as you're honest in your intentions, you know? As long as your intentions are right.
And I know that there is no absolute right, I know that. Even the "greater good" is something that -- generally only ever benefits certain people.
I don't care if you lie, Loki. I just want you to be honest.
