Yeah, I'm glad I'm not the only one who saw that, considering how the movie also handwaved away manipulating poor allegorically-mentally-ill Dr. Banner into having Hulk breakdowns in their favor. :\ Basically it seemed pretty ironic in the bad way that it was so into its contrived heavyhanded America!! moral about how Loki thinks people can't rule themselves or make their own decisions and that's a Bad Thing, when... SHIELD seems to think and operate on the exact same principle.
He's a mass murderer who attacked New York on greater-than-9/11 scale and they just send him home with his big bro to get a slap on the wrist? Seriously? What would even lead them to believe Thor was going to have him executed or lock him up and throw away the key, given he spent the rest of the movie being like "NO MY BROTHER" or "I DON'T CARE IF HE'S A PSYCHO, HE'S MY PSYCHO?" Again, not really down with SHIELD's decisionmaking there. Not that I don't empathize with Thor's reaction, just that if I were Nick Fury I wouldn't be indulging it.
