Is there a really long battlecruiser in SG1?...because I hope you know Loki is a figure from Norse mythology...not something invented by Stargate. (as is Asgard)
Yea I do know that, but Loki is a character in stargate sg1 (an asgard.) and the asgard have a tendency to name their ships after ppl. The O'neil and the Daniel Jackson for example. And also as MisterD wrote, quite the "coincidence" with the wraiths
lol, thats not a Stargate reference. SG and SC are both referencing Norse mythology, which is quite a bit older than both of them. Loki is the Norse god of mischief and chaos who resided in Asgard along with all the other gods. Many of the Terran units in SC2 are references to Norse mythology, such as the Thor, Viking, and Raven (The symbol of Odin, he always appears with two), the Odin in that same mission, and even the Hel's Angels mercenaries (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hel_(location).

Because loki and the asgard from stargate is based on norse mythologi doesn't change the fact that the reference in starcraft2 is infact aimed towards the stargate series and not norse mythology though. That's like saying rory swann is a reference to germanic mythologies because he resembles a dwarf.

I doubt it, consider there are Thors, Odin (big thor) so Loki just follows the pattern.

it's not a reference to sg. if you look across blizzards games, a huge amount of units (if not most) and buildings etc. are named after something in some kind of mythology.

Wrong. SC has had references to Norse mythology for along time, remember a unit called Valkyries? Besides, Norse mythology is a very common source of naming themes, Stargate is just one example. Now, if there were references to Egyptian mythology along with the Norse one, I would be more inclined to believe the Stargate reference, but as it stands, there's nothing to prove it other than a common source.
what is up with that video. quotes 2/3, and 5/6 are repeats. cheap editing to boost instances makes me a little. I mean I'm sure he's said it enough times to pad out a video of that sort without repeating
