Power with Girl is better.
Ehh………
Maybe not.
IIRC, Charlie had like bullet time reflexes didn’t she? Like liquefied bullets mid-air or some such?
Hmm…….

Ehh, no it seems more like a force field effect. But still.

I stand corrected.

She stops the bullet mid air and explodes it I think.

I've only seen the movie once, when it first came out. I literally have no memory of that scene or even that Martin Sheen and George C. Scott were in the movie.
But she clearly had to know ahead of time that an attack was coming and took a couple of seconds to "power up" and stop a bullet she already knew was coming.
Meanwhile, Loki can immediately turn invisible at the bell, a hundred feet away, and use illusions.
I think we all agree. Curbstomp win for Loki.

Yeah, but if you... man, we're getting into weird analogy territory, like if you disintegrated Superman's arms he wouldn't be able to go "fool! Little did you know that my arms and I are one and can be remade from me!" and will his arms back into being from pure nothingness. - Pendaran

Calling them regular humans isn't necessarily correct though. They were regular humans before becoming TVA, but we have literally no idea at all what that does to them. The other aliens (such as on the train where Loki gets drunk) aren't necessarily human either.

Ehh, either the magic dampening effect in the TVA also made him less super human (and considering they apparently brought in Titans, Kree, and Vampires alongside other Variants), or the TVA Agents themselves are amplified.
Either way could easily explain Loki having an issue with them.

Loki dies. Unfortunately for him, it won't be very quick.
While he's durable enough to take hits from heavy hitters (sometimes), he has no particular superhuman speed to cross the 100 feet distance before Charlie gets her pyrokinesis going and even movie Charlie explicitly has a mild psychic power to detect where threats to herself are coming from (she detects the Shop agents coming toward them a good minute before they show up) so he has no way to land a sneak attack against her.
As a result he's just going to continuously get blasted. At first all it'll do is ragdoll him around, but a part of Charlie's powers and the reason why the more aware members of the Shop were so scared about her potential is explicitly that they rapidly become stronger the longer she uses them, and Firestarter 2 Charlie starts at the level of making buildings explode. She's just going to ramp up until he's not fire-resistant enough to take it anymore.
Well, that or he'll suffocate since he still needs to breathe as far as I know, and the entire area around him being on fire means he won't be getting any air.

I was thinking that this was live-action Charlie for some reason in my post.
Yes, it's even worse for Loki if it's book Charlie. Movie Charlie only blew up buildings, book Charlie outright disintegrated them and needed to evaporate nearly 10,000 cubic feet of water to calm down by the end of the book.
