Um...

When I was in high school, a really close friend killed himself by shooting himself in the head, and for some reason tonight's The Good Wife really brought back a lot of those memories.  I don't really want to talk about it, but if any of you have pictures of kittens, puppies, and baby animals, please send links.

Yes. It makes zero freaking sense. There's a profound disconnect between Loki at the end of Thor and Loki at the beginning of Avengers. That would be why I favor fics where Loki was forced into the plan or where it's only part of a much longer and better plan. One day he's angry, suicidal, trying to impress his dad, jealous of his brother and interested in humans only inasmuch as they affect Thor; then he comes out of the void desperate (makes sense), deeply concerned with being worshiped by humans (...?), narcissistic, jealous of and hateful to his brother, and void of redeeming qualities.

The only way it makes even vague sense as written is if:
-Loki's idea of being worth something is being a king
-Loki sees humans as so far beneath him that empathy doesn't apply to them
-Loki doesn't think he could rule anything any better than humans
-So he wants the humans' respect and submission
-Even though it will never be enough, because they're as ants to him
-But a failure to get even that makes him truly worthless in his own eyes

And this, along with utter ignorance of the many many comic book canons, is why in spite of loving the fact that there is a fandom that creates such wonderful cracky things like this: https://archiveofourown.org/works/1056541 , is why I will never be part of the MCU fandom. Fandom makes more sense than the canon.
