Bane vs. Loki.... Who's the better Villain

For me Loki was one of the weak points of the Avengers. A great villain should not only do terrible things but have a good or interesting motivation for doing so. Even though Loki acted like he was motivated by power, in the end he only tried to conquer earth to get back at Thor. For me that kinda undid all the bad things he did in the film and made him look like a brat.

Now I don't know maybe Bane will completely suck as the villain but from what I've seen from the prologue and trailer he appears to be the better of the two.

@ Madmex93,

I guess that you have never read a Thor comic book or just any comic book featuring Loki. Loki's main reason for doing mischief is that he is insanely jealous of Thor. Yes, to get back at Thor IS his motivation. He even says so when he is talking with Thor just before Thor and Iron Man fight.

I never really dug Loki, even in the comics. He is definitely more powerful than Bane, but I think Bane is the more fascinating character. Loki, is just a jealous brat with daddy issues. Hiddleston did a great job portraying him in the movie, but in my opinion I didn't feel he was given much to work with, because (and rightfully so) Joss made the movie about The Avengers. Loki was there to give them somebody to fight who was powerful.

There are things I liked about Thor and things I didn't, and Loki's motivation was one I never understood. Right off the bat you can tell he is the bad guy (even if you knew nothing about the comics), and the only real reason he is bad is due to his jealousy of Thor, and contempt for Odin. His character isn't nearly fleshed out enough, and I would have liked some scenes with them growing up showcasing Loki's perceived slights and Odin's favoritism towards Thor. Based solely on the movie, you got the vibe that Odin was a great dad to both, and Loki is just being a petty bitch. I understand he is adopted, and feels he is just a political ploy, but from the lone flashback scene we got Odin treated him with respect, and had genuine affection for him. It didn't make any sense in the context of Thor's narrative why Loki would betray them both, aside from the fact that he is vindictive for the sake of being vindictive, and providing the movie with a villain.

I will say this article is really bias. I would of liked an in depth character study, providing references from the comics -and in the Avengers case the movie).

I don't think Bane wants anarchy, I really thinks he wants to give the citizens of Gotham back the power to control their city.

I'm pretty sure Bane doesn't see himself as the villain.He's gonna be like Ra's (in the way that he didn
t c himself as the villain either) but just WAY more brutal.

while Hardy is a truly good actor, i don't think he will outdo Hiddleston as Loki. Hiddleston completely just became Loki, it is the role that will define his career. he is that good in it. everything shown about Bane so far has been average at best.

i don't think the fault is with Hardy, but with the character and material. i am hopeful about TDKR, but not holding my breath
