Being an alcoholic, verbally and physically abusive, and forcing your son into the habit of drinking when he was somewhere in the age of 10-12 aren't exactly shining character traits.

But since you mentioned the 'comics thing', I don't think you knew about that.

Also, it's more of the new kind of Howard fans that are coming around trying to Loki-fy him.

But Howard in the films is never portrayed that way.

I just think it's unfair to ascribe the comic's characterization to the movie version.

Steve's dad in the comics was also an abusive alcoholic and eventually died of his alcoholism, I believe. While in the films, his father was killed in the first World War by mustard gas and Steve never knew him.

In the films, Howard seems to have been (at worst) negligent of Tony. I mean, when Tony's talking about his issues with his dad, he mentions that his father sent him off to boarding school -- not that he was alcoholic or abusive. And Howard even says that he was proud of Tony.

I just don't think that fans are "Loki-fying" Howard if they aren't applying the comics' characterization because they seem quite different.

By which you mean, the people who know him from the movies are responding to the characterization they see in the movies? Not applying the standard of a completely different medium that has nothing to do with the guy in the movies? That's very fair of you.
