Loki was probably the most non-threatening main villain in a movie since, forever.
I don't think any of the audience, especially those who saw Thor before hand, thought of him as anything other than a flukey weasel who happened to be immortal.
Afterall, he got owned by Thor, who ended up being the Butt Monkey in the Avengers movie.

A voice that makes it impossible to take him seriously with for one(the minute he said "Of course!" I lost my shit). A not very well thought out plan for two and he ultimately becomes nothing more than a brute for the real big bad before being dismissed like nothing in an anticlimax second only to what happened to Scarecrow.

My response to that.
Anything Bane did, Loki did better lol. Bane killed more of his own men than he did heroes if I recall right.
Also, this.

Like how Loki being no threat to the Avengers himself made it impossible for me to take him seriously as a villain in that film?Elaborate.
Loki did nothing memorable past the Thor film but get slapped around silly by the Avengers, especially Hulk, while Bane broke the Bat and brought the most chaos to Gotham since the Joker.
Yeah, killed two of his men for doing something stupid (bringing Gordon down to their base of operations). Not much compared to those he did kill that were opposing him. Derp.
Loki within the first few minutes of the film got what he wanted, kicked Shields collective arses, and then escaped after mind screwing an Avenger into serving him along with a bunch of other people. And it was pretty clear from his fight with Captain America that he was winning. Bane in the first few minutes kidnapped a guy from other guys we don't know nor do we have any incentive to care about.
His plan was to blow up a city and die...for what? The ***** who fawked Batman and has the oddest daddy issues ever?
Except when he wasn't, which was a good 2/3 of the movie. Sure, by the end most of the Avengers got a chance to get a hit on him but that also means that this guy is capable of still going even after being beaten up by everyone except the Hulk. Bane broke the Bat...a good ten years after Batman was actually worth anything. And then Batman came back and kicked his arse before he was offed hilariously by Catwoman. As for bringing chaos to Gotham at a level that hadn't been seen since the Joker it's not that hard to do since Gotham was at peace. That and some pretty crap writing(thank you Confused Matthew for pointing something so hilariously stupid I can't believe I didn't notice). But his plan was ultimately self sabotaging so hey.
And yet the most memorable kills he has are of his own men.

Yes, and Bane should have just blown Gotham up instead of trying to screw around with some vague concept of hope. And killed Batman.
Loki wanted to be kidnapped guy lol. It says as much.
He could have splattered Cap across the pavement and still been kidnapped. Cap's continued existence after having faced Loki is essentially PIS.
Loki was a terribly undersold villain in Avengers, a movie that gets by largely on its' comedic value. I really would have liked Loki to be a bigger bad than that.

Based on...? Up until that point he hadn't done anything noteworthy physically and if you try and take feats from the movies then we can only conclude the Cap is closer to Loki than you assumed.
Except he really wasn't. He wrecked Shield. Twice. And then wrecked New York. Him getting beaten up in the third act doesn't take those accomplishments away. Whereas Bane couldn't even get out of a hole in the ground.
