10 Most Brutal Deaths In MCU History
8. Loki - Infinity War
The God of Mischief finally started his road to redemption near the end of Ragnarok, bringing a ship large enough to house the evacuating Asgardian refugees. After years of causing mayhem, it appeared the silver-tongued trickster was turning over a new leaf when the Sanctuary II came into view...
Thanos and his bloodthirsty Black Order wind up trashing the ship, and slaughtering 50% of the Asgardians on board. Thor is beaten to within an inch of his life and the Hulk gets squashed like a bug soon after. Outmatched, outgunned and outwitted, Loki's desperate and futile last stand is a sad and violent end for the fan favourite troublemaker.
Loki foolishly attempts to assassinate the Mad Titan, subsequently having his neck crushed in the grip of the gauntlet, all life fading from his eyes as the colour drains from his face. Loki had finally found himself in a situation he couldn't get out of and the consequences were fatal. The last we see of him is a heartbroken Thor weeping over his brother's body before the whole ship goes ka-boom.
All that effort to be (at least slightly) better, and Loki meets his maker for it.
