No, IfGod. It is not apples to apples. They have the Rainbow Bridge, they use the tesseract, they're covering infinite distances across creation. Again, Hel, too, is not a planet, but a dimension at the very least. If I threw a human on another planet, yes, they wouldn't be the smartest being there, most likely. But if I throw a being that can traverse across the universe with powerful weapons that can unmake reality, blah blah blah, yes. l DO expect them to not suddenly be the most idiotic slack-jawed moron in the universe. There is a level of competency you still expect in execution that Loki suddenly lacked.

And traveling to a different country? If I travel to ANY country on Earth, I still know physics, I still know math. I have a phone I can use to navigate and translate. And if I didn't, I know to get something to fulfill that role. Now, imagine if I'm thousands of years old and travel to countries as a career choice. Suddenly, I'm dropped in a country I haven't visited before and I'm helpless? No. This was a narrative choice to make Loki more relatable, but it diminished Loki as a god into Loki as sort of just some guy. Your metaphor falls apart as soon as you translate it to the reality of the character. Context matters, whether it's worlds or dimensions or tufts of floating cotton candy that hang outside of the space-time continuum.
