10 Mistakes That Loki Repeatedly Makes In The MCU

Loki was introduced in 2011’s Thor. Then he instantly became a fan favorite as he returned in The Avengers. He started off as a misunderstood child who turned into a villain. Then by Infinitey War, he died a hero. But now, he will continue his MCU journey as a villain who will soon turn into an Anti-hero. Over time, Loki has committed a lot of mistakes. But we have later seen him helping the same people for whom he created a lot of problems. He just doesn’t seem to learn from his mistakes and that’s what we want to see in the upcoming Loki series. but before that, let’s have a look at the biggest mistakes that Loki repeatedly makes in the MCU.

1. Trying to cut corners

Loki is known to be very intelligent. But at the same time, he has always tried to make everything easier for himself by putting in some extra and unnecessary effort. Sometimes they work and sometimes they backfire. Now it has been confirmed that Disney+’s Loki will have a look at the corner-cutting that blows up Loki’s face.

2. Impulsive and lack of focus

Loki falls into trouble because of his impulsive tendencies. This also proves to be bad for others. He picked up a Tesseract when he was on the way to wake up Surtur. But this backfired later since Thanos came looking for the Tesseract. This also resulted in Loki and Heimdall being killed by Thanos.

3. Never learns from his mistakes

When Loki sounds the alarm for Thor’s capture, Thor gains the upper hand. He tells Loki how he refuses to change. This happens when Loki writhes on the floor from the obedience disk activated by Thor. He might have been on a path to redemption before being killed by Thanos. But the 2012 variant is still mischievous. So it remains to be seen if he would change towards the end of Loki.

4. Always overestimates himself

Loki’s upbringing has been under the crown. He is an Asgardian prince and an heir to Jontunheim. But still, he is not a physically powerful being. He is more dependent on magic and tricks. So he considers himself at the best. Well, this doesn’t work always. He yelled at Hulk thinking that it would subdue him. But instead, Hulk got angry and tossed Loki like a ragdoll.

5. More expectations

Considering the place and situations where he was born, Loki always expects more than he deserves. But this always leads to something bad. For example, New York City suffered massive destruction since Loki desired to take the throne. Loki had a misconception that the throne was his by birthright. But Odin responded by saying that his birthright was to die as a child.

6. Always has an ulterior motive

It always looks like Loki is on the good side. But he actually plans something else for his personal benefits. Eventually, this lands him in trouble. He tried to escape Sakaar with Thor in Thor: Ragnarok. When Thor and Loki were about to get to the Grandmaster’s ship, Loki double-crossed Thor for the bounty on him. But Thor quickly turns the table on Loki since he knows his brother very well.

7. Mooches off about others

Loki brown-noses the Grandmaster since he wants something they both have. Loki used Thanos’s army and the scepter to rule over the Earth. He became close with Grandmaster to enjoy the benefits that come by living in the Grandmaster’s Palace. He ensures that he lives a lavish life on Sakaar instead of fighting back Hela.

8. Underestimates his opponents

Loki is defeated by his foes. It is too late since he realizes everything. He underestimated Thanos and tried to stab him because of being in possession of two Infinity Stones and manhandling Hulk. Everyone else knows never to underestimate their foes. But Loki has repeated the same mistake again and again.

9. No long-term plans

Loki plans something that can work out in the future. But he cannot see the future. He makes a plan that doesn’t always lead to something profitable for him. Even Thor has called him out for his lack of planning and his plans don’t work in the long term. Attempting to stab Thanos in the throat can be considered a very good example. He impulsively took over the throne of Asgard, but the 9 realms were in ruins beyond that moment.

10. Considers himself as the smartest

Loki has been embarrassed by most of the characters who turn out to be smarter than him. But still, he responds in a hostile fashion like tossing off Tony Stark to Stark Tower and charging Doctor Strange with knives. This proves that he underestimates others and overestimates himself. Other villains can clearly see the strength of their opponent and they don’t dismiss them.
