* The way Loki looks when he first appears, all through the first scene, as well as the way he acts throughout the film show he's not only not in his right mind, but may be under control of the spear as well, and not willingly. Look at the first scene. He's sweaty, he has sunken in eyes, he sounds worn down, he's clearly weak, and when he looks at the spear, it like he doesn't even know he's holding it at first. Other than his reaction to the spear, all these things are signs of heat exhaustion or even heat stroke. Now, /what/ is Loki? Jotun, aka. a Frost Giant. Even the scanner on the cage shows he is a physically cold figure. Loki was /tortured/ with heat, and forced to use the spear. Why would I say forced? Well, in Thor, his eyes are green and pretty natural looking. In this movie, his eyes are blue, though not as blank as Barton's and Selvig's are, but something does seem off about them except at one moment in the film, when Thor and he are on the balcony of Stark Tower. Thor makes Loki look at what he's caused, and for a brief moment, when it seems he can see what he's done, his eyes look frightened and upset by what he sees, and they're green again. Then they go back to being cold and blue and he stabs Thor. It's like he wants to fight the urge to do so too. Up until the opening of this movie, Loki has been known to be a good brother to Thor who snapped and lashed out against the way Odin had treated him, but in this movie, he's all-out evil, and it seems like it's not really Loki. And just one extra point about the spear. Yes, Bruce is the Hulk, but when the whole group is fighting and he gets pissed off, it's not the Hulk that scares everyone. Bruce grabbed the spear without even knowing it. It's like the thing called to him, asking to be picked up. It doesn't need to be held to control people. All of these things point to the spear being the true villain of this film. Loki was a Frost Giant tortured into submission and forced to use/be controlled by it, and it even effects people whose hearts it hasn't touched. Talk about Nightmare Fuel
** Actually, his eyes were blue in {{Thor}} as well. They were only green in the promotional materials. What we're seeing is Mr. Hiddleston's natural eye color. The idea that Loki was tortured and may not be an entirely willing participant in these events isn't without some merit, though.
*** Actually, there is a slight change. In Thor, they were still green, but more blue than Tom's natural color. In Avengers, they become really blue, like the shade of the Tesseract or the eyes of the men the staff controls.
**** The staff contains the MIND GEM. As in, one of the six Infinity Gems Thanos uses to gain literal omnipotence, omniscience, omnipresence... The gem makes one the MOST POWERFUL PSYCHIC IN EXISTENCE, and the gems have been shown to have a semi-sentient malevolence. I'm pretty sure Loki was, at least partially, Brainwashed & Crazy.
**** [[LordOfTheRings Sounds sortta familiar...]]
** Another option is an example of FridgeHorror. What if Loki had ''accepted'' the idea of the spear altereing his mind? Depending on what he saw when he fell through the cosmos, he may well have willingly dampened his emotions.
