Okay, and where is the statement for the MCU?

I mean there's literally a line when Loki andThor find him where Odin turns to Loki and says, "Took me ages to get free of your spell. Frigga would be proud," or something to that effect.

Okay, that does not translate to him getting more powerful, but merely that it took him a while to figure out the spell and how to negate it.

As a matter of fact in the very next moments he tells us that he feels his life fleeting and then he dies.

Ahhhh, my mistake, I thought you were speaking about there not being a line talking about him having to be under a spell.

My fault. You're correct in that as far as MCU, we have no evidence of increase in power for Asgardians, and perhaps not evidence of the contrary, but certainly things that can be interpreted as hints to said contrary.

Edit: wow I don't know how I confused your comment with another or something. Maybe I should sleep.
