I would like to see it in the next film

Yeah...Loki might be kinda pissed if they just glassed the entire planet.

But it's not about being the messiah or the savior, or being revered. It's about "I am a god. Shut the fuck and bow bitches."

I'm not saying it's the best plan. But it's Loki's plan.

EDIT: I don't know. I don't claim to know what the personification of all evil plans to do with his empire, probably  watch it burn for a while then start anew with him as a god in the middle of it. Who knows.

And yes, as humans it would probably suck pretty hard once we got it, but Sauron is a long way off from human.

Tyrants have ruled over smoldering wastelands for thousands of years and still do in the filthy corners. North Korea is a starving hellhole. Parts of the Middle East are festering wounds. Parts of Africa are gangrenous ulcers. The Eastern Bloc was 31 flavors of human misery for 70 years. Medieval European monarchies were largely muckholes of disease and slaughter. Ancient empires were mostly slave-driven, human-sacrificing war economies.
