I don't think the Avengers killed more people, or that they are just as bad as the villains, or anything. I just think that, if the aliens' primary motivation really was just killing a bunch of people, and the writers did not want to show this happening, then they set these villains as well as Loki up to be less intimidating when Loki, earlier in the movie, killed eighty people all by himself and this was shown to not be something worth caring about beyond a single line of acknowledgment because we didn't see it (and they weren't Phil Coulson).

If that many deaths were not even enough to get the Avengers to realize they need to get their shit together, and are still not important enough to be shown on screen, how then are we supposed to feel that they are enough to make an unfocused alien attack the biggest threat in the movie and something that speaks well of Loki's competence as a villain?

I think I lost my original point here somewhere. I think Loki was just kind of throwing a violent tantrum and didn't utilize any of the skills he's supposed to be known for.

I think a show of force is a perfectly valid first step in conquering a world. There was no interest in first engaging in threats and diplomacy.

I agree that we didn't get much opportunity to see Loki being tricksy, but I don't think that was a lack in the movie, that was a lack in the characterisation we've got a preconception of from comics, mythology, arguably Thor, etc. I thought Loki was way too strung out here to be smart about things, too, he was being more blunt force, but ymmv.

I would adore more properly trickster Loki in Thor 2, yes ma'am.

I think Thor had a fair amount of trickery, though yes, not as much as in the mythos. Avengers Loki was noticeably more Looney Tunes-esquely demented and lacking in foresight.
