Loki and Thor's shame events

It is evident in the film that Loki wants to be king over Thor, and he believes the only reason he is not is because he was born a frost giant. It’s important to notice that Loki is present during Thor’s major shame event: when his father banishes him from Asgard and sends him to Earth. You can see the satisfaction on Loki’s face once Thor is banished. Then, Loki appears in the police station where Thor is being held on Earth, and tells Thor of their father’s “death” and basically blames Thor for everything that has gone wrong without saying so. At this point when Loki says these things to Thor, I believe this is when Thor starts to mature. He is accepting that his banishment is his fault, and blames himself for his father’s death.
