You're Going to Have Bad Time

Have you ever noticed the evil plans for the bad guys in movies are getting worse as time wears on?
For instance in "The Avengers" Evil Hawkeye's plan to rescue Loki was to try and crash the hellicarrier he was on while rescuing him. He had an incredibly narrow window for success and he made it worse by attacking the bridge and having his men try and stop repairs on the engines. Essentially, he's trying his hardest to kill his own boss during the entire rescue mission, who is also acting like an idiot. Loki willingly allowed himself to be captured and lets his entire plan slip to the Black Widow. Plus, he lets the two smartest men on the planet have a good long look at his ultimate weapon. Loki also had the ability to escape his cage at any moment using magic and he doesn't use it. Escaping the cage wasn't even an issue, as Nick Fury points out that he can just drop the cage into the ocean at any time. The thousand-foot fall failed to kill his half-brother, the God Thor, so it couldn't be expected to have any lasting effect on him.
