The reason they killed Loki in the first ten minutes is because Loki absolutely would not have hesitated to kill Vision, or steal the time stone.Avengers: Someone’s killed Dr. Strange and Vision!Loki, admiring his new necklace and glowing yellow paperweight: TragicWanda: if we destroyed the mind stone it would kill Vision D:Loki, already stabbing him: oh noThor: Hey, didn’t Midgard have a wizard around here earlier? Loki, you remember the wizard, right?Loki, currently garroting Dr. Strange with the time stone: I don’t recall

Oh, of course Loki is alive. That's a no-brainer. The only question is -- what trick did he pull and how did he do it?

So, yesterday I went to watch Infinity War again because I wanted to focus on this fact and see if it could actually be real. And guys, the answer is YES. (ohmygod!!!)
- When Hulk fights Thanos it’s still Banner. But when they finish, we don’t see Hulk nor Loki for some time and that’s when they switch and Loki takes Hulk’s shape. Banner probably escapes with Valkyrie somehow. I am sure they have a plan.
- Heimdall sends Hulk to Earth. Hulk?! Heimdall barely know who is Banner! He never even talked to him! Why would he send Banner and not, for example, Thor? Because that’s actually Loki.
- When “Banner” arrives on Earth, he is terrified: terrified of the kind like he knows a lot about Thanos and what he does. But how can he? Do you really think they had all of this time to tell Banner everything when Thanos suddenly showed up and began to kill everyone? He could have just been another bad guy at his eyes, but no, here he was absolutely desperate and with no real reason (I hope you understood what I’m trying to say). That’s not Banner.
- Banner tells Tony that Thanos destroys every planet and already has the Power and Space Stone and he is already super powerful. How can he know? When Thanos manages to hold the Tesseract, Hulk is already KO and moreover when Banner is Hulk he doesn’t understand what’s going on. Only Loki and Thor really see that Thanos takes the Space Stone. Again, how can Banner know he already has the Power Stone? For the same reason written above, he cannot. Guys, he can’t. That’s Loki.
- Loki knows that Banner can transform into Hulk and, being ashapeshifter, he tries to. But eventually he will find out that he cannot because he can take people’s shapes but not their powers. So he would never have Hulk’s strength.
- Banner tells Tony that Loki’s attack to New York was actually because of Thanos. Again, how can Banner know? Like if when Thanos arrived they quietly sat down and told Banner everything about Thanos. Do you realize it’s absurd?
- Banner makes continuous references to New York. Why couldn’t he do it with Sokovija, for example? Because he is Loki.
- It’s impossible to ignore Banner’s outburst of joy when Thor shows upin Wakanda. He laughs aloud and says he wants to see what they’ll make up now. It reminded me so much of Loki’s joyful reaction when in Ragnarok Thor was beaten by Hulk. Guys, that’s Loki as he sees his brother is still alive and badassing (thing he couldn’t be sure about, having left as Hulk through the Bifrost).
- We see Banner in the Hulk Buster fighting. Now, Hulk can fight because it’s Hulk but Hulk and Banner are two completely different beings. And honestly, has Banner ever punched someone in his life? Ha. Banner is a scientist and angel, he wouldn’t touch a fly. And yet we see him punching and kicking super professionally in Wakanda, which is super weird. But if you think that that’s Loki, who can fight pretty well, everything makes sense. And if you look closely you see Loki’s technique in the fight.
- You’ll wonder how can Loki know a) about Clint, b) about Vision’s technology and c) about Bruce and Nat’s relationship. a) Loki knows about Clint as he mind-controlled him in Avengers 1. b) Loki is very intelligent, he knows a lot about the Stone, he knows about how Vision came to life because in Age of Ultron he was there, hiding (hooded figure) and actually he doesn’t really know everything in such a great detail in fact when he speaks with Shuri he is in a bit of difficulty. c) Loki is a mind-reader and had the occasion to get to know Nat (during Avengers 1, while he is in the cage) and with Bruce (throughout Ragnarok and a little bit Avengers 1 too).
So guys, you can see that there are many things that don’t make a lot of sense but this theory fixes them and makes them all agree with one another.Loki is the God of Mischief and I could go on forever telling why he decided to die in front of Thor and how did he double himself and about the fact that he didn’t turn into his Jotun form when he “died”, but this post is already very long (sorry!).
Now, what do you think?

I don't know if I agree with every one of the author's observations, but it does answer one of the most perplexing aspects for me of Infinity War -- why on earth did Heimdall use his last remaining strength before death to save, NOT THOR, but the Hulk? That makes no sense whatsoever. But would Heimdall have sacrificed himself to save Loki in the Hulk's form? That seems unlikely too, unless Loki previously persuaded him somehow that doing so would save Thor in the long run.
I can't wait to have that answered in Endgame!
