i totally agree with you guys on this. don't like it? don't read it. this is as someone who goes between the tags because sometimes it's the only loki content i can really get, especially when it comes to new fanart. but i still love to be in the critical tags as well, because no matter how much i love loki in the fandom space, seeing him be butchered so badly still hurts, and the meta on this side is, in my opinion, far better than the other side of the community.
you (anon) can also be intersectional. you can be dialectical in the content you consume because the media that exists will never 100% match what you want it to be. yes, loki (the series) is good, as far as marvel shows go. but it could have been great. it could have taken a deep dive into loki's character, answered questions without explicit answers in the mcu.
can i be disappointed that the degredation of loki's character is connected to tom? absolutely. but what i am not willing to do is to throw him under the bus, because he is not the sole creator in this, and he is just one of up to a hundred people that are to blame for how loki's characterization, some of which are from long before the loki series in thor: ragnarok, infintiy war, and endgame. they set the building blocks for loki's mischaracterization, which is why so many people in the community didn't realize that the character had really been manipulated into something he isn't.
criticism is not inherently disrespectful. as a community, the people who are anti-loki series or critical of the loki series can still have respect for tom. i sure do.
I really hate the anti-Loki series blogs on here. You don’t like it? Ok cool, why make it everyone else’s problem and disrespect Tom as a person? You’re no fan of Tom, you don’t deeply respect him if you act like that.
Then why look at said blogs, anon? No, really, tell me I'm curious. I'm not going to anybody's inbox, unlike some fans, even if I deeply dislike what they enjoy.
I don't think critiquing an actor's work is disrespectful to said actor. You don't even know whether what Tom's saying under Disney's contracts are his real opinions, he is paid to promote the content. Neither you or I know him.
I'm sorry for you if you equate blind praise to being someone's fan. That is not how people interact with media and its creators. You can support someone and still be critical of their work as long as you are not crossing any boundaries of said actor and doing so without attacking them. And yes, I am not a fan of his new releases, that's no secret.
