Not tagging this cus I don’t really want the drama right now, but the Agent of Asgard thread right now, and some posts on CBR (by a certain someone also on Tumblr) fill me with glee. A certain portion of the fanbase are losing the sexy woobie Loki that existed only in their own minds and as far as they were concerned existed only to fawn over and feel sorry for, and getting a badass in his place, and they are FURIOUS. Thing is, I am pretty sure this was entirely intentional. Ewing and Garbett, I’m pretty sure, put those fanservicey and woobie beats in the story to lull and trick some of those fans into reading and thinking it was something it wasn’t, but it was ALWAYS something different from that if you scratched the surface even a little bit. It’s now just shedding the illusion at the same time that Loki decides to be true to himself and fight fate. All very meta, really.
