You people. Loki's never been a match for Thor, it's not even remotely close. The moment Thor stops holding back, the fight is over in under 3 seconds.Happened on the Bifrost, which Loki went down to a single lightning blast unlike Iron Man.
Happened on top of Stark Tower, after Loki stabbed Thor while Thor was making yet another "you can be good, bro" speeches, Loki goes down after one grab, one kick and one slam. All of which Iron Man took on and keep going in his fight with Thor.
To be fair with Loki, he didn't exactly look dazed or unable to continue to fight after that slam. He just decided to get away but he didn't seem damaged after that slam. That shows a low fighting spirit not a low durability or fighting ability. For all we know, Loki decides to escape because he simply knows he can't beat Thor... something that IM still doesn't know since it's only their first time to fight. IM may have continued to fight after a body slam but he was more damaged than Loki was at the end of his fight with Thor.
Loki took a lightning blast and was dazed but undamaged. IM took a lightning blast that fortunately for him was absorbed by his suit... but that still damaged his suit.
And I don't understand why some people keep bringing up that Thor was holding back against Loki. Yes he was, but so was he when he was fighting IM or Hulk. You really think he'd be holding back against his brother asgardian but go full out against a human?? Thor as a rule almost always holds back. The only time we really see him go all out I believe is against the destroyer.
In the end, I don't think any of us are saying that Loki can simply overpower IM or that he has more firepower or whatever. In fact, I'm pretty sure that IM will take the advantage early on. But what it boils down to is that Loki is just more durable than IM. And if they keep fighting (considering that Loki is going for a kill and not simply going to run away like the wuss that he is) then IM's armor will slowly start getting damaged whereas Loki will just keep getting back up.
