The Tesseract or, your brother’s head. I assume you have a preference.

Just checking btw: you all realize, right? That Loki was never choosing the Tesseract over Thor.  He was hoping to appear ruthless and loyal to Thanos long enough that Thanos would spare Thor and they could go off together, him quietly plotting Thanos’s death, while Thor escaped.

But Thanos is a master manipulator and abuser, and he called Loki’s bluff.  Which Loki figured was probably what would happen, but it was worth a try.  

That’s why Loki said “ALRIGHT, stop.”  As in, alright, you got me, you figured out my ruse.  

I’m just worried people will somehow think Loki was actually going to ever let Thor die. He wasn’t. He was just hoping at first for a way to spare both their lives without resorting to desperate measures.  

And a friendly reminder: Loki nearly died twice for saving Jane and Thor in TDW.
