Maybe I just believe that average people have the power to save themselves.

...wat

dude no if a giant ten foot tall alien that wanted to kill you were standing in front of you and you had no superpowers you'd shit yourself and scream and probably die and that is exactly what I would do too.

And all of the myths

This is MCU. What Loki did in the myths is utterly beside the point.

The Avengers is just an example. You can imagine a similar scenario with basically any villain. Loki had powers that made it impossible for normal humans to strongarm him. Natasha was able to manipulate him, but she's gifted in that area, and manipulation would hardly have stopped him from setting up his conduit. So take Loki as he is in the movie, or imagine it's some other villain, and the point stands. Ordinary humans do not have the power to stop this guy.

It's a fact: they had way more resources than he did.

So why then did it take an entire movie to defeat him? Raw tallying of resources doesn't alone demonstrate an advantage. The fellow is very good at hiding, and he eluded SHIELD for an amazingly long time given their tracking and locating abilities, and he has some incredible sources of cosmic power at his disposal. He brainwashed Hawkeye with zero resistance. He would have done the same to Tony if not for his arc reactor. Stop acting like he's just an ordinary criminal.
