#also this with characters being coerced like Bucky suddenly being accountable???

[worstloki]

why does it feel like the mcu is trying so hard to cash in on making villains 'morally grey' because ancient artifacts/beings of power are influencing them (Wanda/the darkhold/Wenwu/the dweller in darkness/Gorr/the necrosword) but is also on-purpose side-stepping the OG Loki who was being affected by the mind stone in Avengers 1

#also this with characters being coerced like Bucky suddenly being accountable??? #Bucky who had his head literally messed with?? he was EXPLICITLY brainwashed?????? #Loki being tortured is nothing that needs to be addressed directly ever I guess??? #any possible memory issues are no problem for them i suppose #like..... bruhhhhhhh #I know it's easier to try and go oh Loki was bad the entire time since childhood but that's not what was set up #and there's been little attempt to properly retcon it so it comes off as everyone being a jerk to Loki for literally nothing #attempts to knock Loki down a peg fail because there is no higher peg he was on to begin with he JUST got defeated by Hulk like come on #he only JUST got away from Thanos' threats bc the TVA kidnapped him and now - WHAT - you're going to act like 1 year is his whole life #goodness #Thanos and losing it in Thor 1 didn't even come up with Mobius he kept talking about a future that wouldn't happen now :/ #what is up with Phase 4 trying to make characters sympathetic while trashing on other characters with the exact same reasons #Thor 4
