Joss Whedon was adapting Stan Lee’s versions of Thor, Loki, and Odin to the big screen. It wasn’t like the comic book versions were accurate to the myths and Whedon’s weren’t. They are fictional characters loosely based on the real gods/myths. Tom Hiddleston isn’t playing the actual Loki of Norse myth, he’s playing the Marvel Loki. It’s the same as Matt Damon playing Loki in Dogma. It’s just a character with the same name.

The Loki Damon played had nothing to do with the myth. I give him a pass.

Yes, Stan Lee is a douche too. And it’s up to artists who want to make adaptations to right the wrongs made in the past. What would you say to a director who remade John Wayne movies and did nothing to change how Native Americans were portrayed?

Calling it Marvel’s Loki when it borrows all its background from Norse myth is a fucking cop-out.
