Loki
This might be obvious or asked a million times but how does Loki survive the end when he falls to be in the after credit scene ?
shareIt isn't space as we know it. It is more of a void. If you remember, Asgard kind of just ends. It falls off into the void.
At some point I'm sure it becomes space as we know it, but he just floated around in the void.
But how does he get to earth or the chitauri homework or wherever he ends up ?

All we know about what happens to him in between the end of Thor and beginning of Avengers is something that Tom mentioned in an interview just before the first Avengers film came out

There was a gap between Thor and The Avengers, and we see at the beginning of The Avengers that some… “stuff” has happened.
Yes.
And we still haven’t really gotten into it in detail. We get a hint at the end of the film. Did Joss [Whedon] fill you in on that? Was that vital to your character?
Yeah, we talked about it a lot. We talked about this idea that Loki disappears through that wormhole of space and time, when the Bifrost is destroyed, and he kind of goes through the Seventh Circle of Hell. And he’s on his own. He’s on his own in the dark corners of the universe, and the journey he goes on is pretty horrible. It’s like getting lost in the rainforest or something. You’re going to come out the other side a bit mangled on the outside, and on the inside. And he’s made this deal with Thanos and the Chitauri...
...So I think he makes a deal... and he’s being played too, by them. But I just think it’s interesting, actually, because we’re more interested in what that does to him as a character, because it gives us a justification for his increased menace. [...] He’s much darker, and more scarred.
It could be he found some of the secret pathways (that he spoke of in Thor: the Dark World), he could have come across some other race that he was able to hitch a ride with, we simply don't know/it hasn't been explicitly stated beyond what Hiddleston said in this interview.

Agent Hill: ...Then aliens invaded New York and were beaten back, by among others, a giant green monster, a costumed hero from the 40's.... and a god.
Agent Ward: I don't think Thor is technically a god.
Hill: Well...you haven't been near his arms.
