[Video clicks on, and it's Loki! Hi Loki! The bruises he got in the port have all gone down by now, and he's wearing his fancy gazelle helmet. Apparently he's feeling flamboyant today.]

Sad, really. Seeing humanity being exterminated like that. Set upon, and wiped out by alien powers infinitely more powerful, and advanced than it could ever have hoped to have been. Apparently, the distant eyes of Odin and Thor, and any other absent protectors of you Midgardians fell shut in your hour of need. [He gives a woeful little sigh.]

If only there had been someone... some being who might have known how to compete with such a threat. Some watchful ruler, who could have summoned armies from the air in your defense. Who could have spent the many long eons before this tragedy befell mankind, advancing your civilization to the point where you were a world that would stand unassailable.

[He gives a helpless, sympathetic shrug.]

Mistake it not, Mortals, you were made to be ruled. It just so happens that some rulers are more benevolent than others...

[Then he grins, and clicks the feed off.]

And what if somebody had stomped all over Asgard or Jotunheim? Hell, by your own logic I might as well fit you out for a leash in case Dr. Banner ever shows his face here.

Not necessarily, but what does that prove? If they're going to hold a grudge, I think your attempt to conquer Earth isn't a bad reason to do it.

That wasn't an argument so much as a talking point. My actual argument is that there's always a bigger fish. That doesn't give them the right to do shit, including kicking your ass all over the Barge just because you're an Inmate.

For the sake of argument? For the sake of argument, if I tried to make the price of my protection your abject submission to me? Then I would get demoted, and I would send a thank-you card to the Admiral for doing it.

I think you underestimate my expectations of myself. Do you think I'm likely to pull that on you?

No, of course not.
