I know where you're coming from, but I didn't think you were supposed to find him sympathetic in The Avengers? I myself only found him *slightly* sympathetic because I watched Thor first and after I mined his scenes for hints of conflictedness (read: his scenes with Thor). Mostly, I just got a huge kick out of watching him strutting around bragging his head off and being a vicious, ill-tempered, self-entitled, awesomely entertaining and hammy little shit for 2/3rds of the movie, and then getting his ass kicked over and over and over until he ceased to become threatening and became hilarious for the last 1/3rd.

I didn't really watch the movie for him, nor did I really care about his role in the movie. He was more catalyst than villain, to be quite honest. In a lot of movies, it really does matter how great the villain is, but in this movie because the hero needs a meaningful obstacle to overcome, but I think the reason I didn't care that he was incompetent and not that compelling was because he wasn't the Avengers' arch-enemy. The Avengers' archenemy was themselves. Their conflicts with each other, their personal demons, their oversized, overcrowded personalities. Loki was just there to make it matter and bring it to light.
