"I'm not so sure sometimes that he didn't win after all." But Clint has a particularly unique perspective on the villain in question. The overarching goal was to please his master(s?) who gifted him with an alien army and a funky stick, sure. But there was a certain terrible desperation to the whole thing. Captured now, yes, and to face some kind of justice, but at the hands of people who know him, people he grew up with. Somewhere he's a prince, if a fallen one, to probably live under house arrest or something cozier than what he'd suffered before.

The plan backfired, sure. But Loki losing was also a win for him in a way. To get out from under those who had sought to control him.

"Doesn't mean I plan on giving up anytime soon."
