@TomasDerksen -  I wouldn't call Loki smart,  He's an arrogant jerk with daddy issues who thinks he's the smartest guy in the room. In "The Avengers" Loki was basically a stooge for the alien who gave him an army and a mind-control scepter to take over the Earth. His hubris was key to his defeat; the Avengers - a team consisting of a race of people he looked down on and a brother he hates -  found a way to neutralize his rent-a-army. Plus, Loki got a beatdown from the Hulk (best part of the movie for me) from which Loki barely got up. In mid-credits, the Other (I think that's his name) was not happy with Loki's failure. He was practically promised taking over the Earth would be a cakewalk. Looking forward to this guy to catch up with Loki; he won't be able to talk his way out of this one. Sadly, Loki would sell out Asgard to save his butt - in the end self-preservation is strong with him.
