While behind the scenes of the shoot was more lighthearted, on-screen fans were heartbroken. Thanos kills Loki in a brutal and tragic manner while Thor helplessly watches. If this wasn&#8217;t shocking enough, fans have wondered if the death was warranted. Loki knew what he was up against, yet he still tried to take out Thanos with a knife instead of something a bit more creative. While this may seem like a meaningless death, there are reasons behind the death of the fan-favorite character and even the way he dies.<br \/>\n<!-- Zone: character count repeatable. --><\/p>\n<div class=\"adsninja-ad-zone\">\n<div id=\"dynamically-injected-refresh-ad-zone-MW-Reg-Org\" class=\"dynamically-injected-refresh-ad-zone\">\n<div class=\"ad-current\">\n<div id=\"ad-zone-container-MW-Reg-Org\" class=\"ad-zone-container ad-zone-container-content-character-count-repeatable-1\" data-no-fill-collapsable=\"false\"><strong class=\"ad-zone-advertising-tag\">MOVIEWEB VIDEO OF THE DAY<\/strong><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><!-- No winning ad found for zone: word count #1! --><!-- No winning ad found for zone: Below First Paragraph! --><!-- No winning ad found for zone: native in content! --><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"loki-knew-what-thanos-could-do\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Loki_Knew_What_Thanos_Could_Do\"><\/span> Loki Knew What Thanos Could Do<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p> As shown in Thanos&#8217; cameo in <em>The Avengers<\/em>, Loki knew exactly who Thanos was. Even when he was power-hungry and arrogant, he was smart enough to know to fear Thanos. He was familiar with his past planet cleansing, and that&#8217;s why Loki believed he was key in ruling Earth. He knew how powerful the Titan was, but more importantly, he knew how powerful the Infinity Stones were. When he saw the Titan in the flesh already wielding one stone and wiping out the Hulk in a battle Mark Ruffalo wishes to see get a rematch, he knew he couldn&#8217;t stop him. However, he had an idea who could. <\/p>\n<div class=\"body-img responsive-img img-article-item\" style=\"padding-bottom:50%\">\n<figure>\n <picture>\n <!--[if IE 9]>\n <video style=\"display: none;\"><![endif]--><source media=\"(min-width: 1024px)\" sizes=\"750px\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static1.moviewebimages.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/The-Avengers-arresting-Loki.jpg?q=50&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=750&amp;dpr=1.5\"\/><source media=\"(min-width: 768px)\" sizes=\"943px\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static1.moviewebimages.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/The-Avengers-arresting-Loki.jpg?q=50&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=943&amp;dpr=1.5\"\/><source media=\"(min-width: 481px)\" sizes=\"767px\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static1.moviewebimages.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/The-Avengers-arresting-Loki.jpg?q=50&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=767&amp;dpr=1.5\"\/><source media=\"(min-width: 0px)\" sizes=\"480px\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static1.moviewebimages.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/The-Avengers-arresting-Loki.jpg?q=50&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=480&amp;dpr=1.5\"\/><!--[if IE 9]><\/video><![endif]--><br \/>\n<img width=\"1400\" height=\"700\" class=\"lazyload\" alt=\"The Avengers arresting Loki\"\/>\n <\/picture>\n <\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p> Loki knew the only ones who could stop Thanos was The Avengers, most of whom were on Earth. Heimdall knew this as well, which is why his final act was sending Hulk to Earth via the Bifrost. Loki knew that Thanos and his Black Order would easily be able to intercept Hulk before he can raise the alarm. Many fans were confused as to why Loki tried to attack Thanos with a small knife when he was capable of so much more. The simple answer is he wasn&#8217;t trying to kill him, he was trying to divert his attention from Hulk.

The answer is he knew that in order for Thanos to ultimately lose, he had to win. Thanos would have torn the ship apart and killed everyone on it to get to the Tesseract, so Loki willingly gave it up to ensure his brother would be able to join his team and go after Thanos. This is similar thinking to that of Dr. Strange who would later willingly give up the Time Stone so Tony Stark would be spared. Even if there is a fan theory stating Strange let Tony die, he still knew that again, Thanos had to win in order to later lose. <\/p>\n<h2 id=\"loki-wouldn-39-t-last-on-earth\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Loki_Wouldnt_Last_On_Earth\"><\/span> Loki Wouldn&#8217;t Last On Earth<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p> In the after-credits scene of <em>Thor: Ragnarok<\/em>, Loki voiced his reluctance to return to Earth. In the eyes of humanity, and The Avengers, he was a war criminal. Loki had redeemed himself at this point, but it would still take some time to earn the trust of the planet. Loki wouldn&#8217;t exactly be welcomed with open arms, and would likely be thrown in a prison. Even with Thor defending him, it would be revealed at some point that Loki had stolen the Tesseract, which even Thor wouldn&#8217;t be able to defend. Seeing as how Loki used the Tesseract to cause mayhem the first time he visited Earth, it would be difficult to talk his way out of it.<br \/>\n<!-- Zone: character count repeatable. --><br \/>\n<!-- No winning ad found for zone: word count #3! --><br \/>\n <span class=\"related-single\">RELATED: These Are The MCU&#8217;s Most Sympathetic Villains<\/span> <\/p>\n<div class=\"body-img responsive-img img-article-item\" style=\"padding-bottom:50%\">\n<figure>\n <picture>\n <!--[if IE 9]>\n <video style=\"display: none;\"><![endif]--><source media=\"(min-width: 1024px)\" sizes=\"750px\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static1.moviewebimages.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Loki-Thor-Ragnarok.jpg?q=50&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=750&amp;dpr=1.5\"\/><source media=\"(min-width: 768px)\" sizes=\"943px\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static1.moviewebimages.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Loki-Thor-Ragnarok.jpg?q=50&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=943&amp;dpr=1.5\"\/><source media=\"(min-width: 481px)\" sizes=\"767px\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static1.moviewebimages.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Loki-Thor-Ragnarok.jpg?q=50&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=767&amp;dpr=1.5\"\/><source media=\"(min-width: 0px)\" sizes=\"480px\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static1.moviewebimages.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Loki-Thor-Ragnarok.jpg?q=50&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=480&amp;dpr=1.5\"\/><!--[if IE 9]><\/video><![endif]--><br \/>\n<img width=\"1400\" height=\"700\" class=\"lazyload\" alt=\"Loki after falling in Dr. Strange's trap\"\/>\n <\/picture>\n <\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p> Even when he did briefly go to Earth in <em>Ragnarok<\/em>, Dr. Strange saw to it he wasn&#8217;t able to do anything except fall endlessly in what is assumed to be between two portals.

Even though Loki had turned over a new leaf, it would have been tempting for him not to take advantage of the fact he had possession of the Tesseract, and Loki knew this better than anyone. Loki didn&#8217;t want to be the bad guy anymore, as proven when he helped fight for Asgard. He knew his past actions were truly irredeemable, so in sacrificing himself he became the one thing he felt he could never be, a hero.<br \/>\n<!-- Zone: character count repeatable. --><br \/>\n<!-- No winning ad found for zone: word count #4! --><br \/>\n With Loki&#8217;s return in his own show, it seems as if his death was for nothing, but this couldn&#8217;t be further from the truth.
