Yeah, the Odin demonization is bizarre. There's really no indication in the movie that Odin dislikes or neglects Loki (if anything, Thor gets the brunt of Odin's temper). When Loki confronts him about his origins, Odin gently tries to explain everything. Maybe he shouldn't have kept it a secret, but I think it's understandable that Odin and Frigga didn't want Loki to feel different. They didn't want him growing up feeling like a monster, or a charity case. They took him in as a SON.

I think it's worthwhile to point out that both Thor and Loki have their dark sides on full display in this movie. Thor's villainous characteristics are his selfishness and thoughtlessness. Loki's is his disregard for the value of life. The thing is, Loki wanted to prove himself Thor's equal and prove himself a true son to Odin, and both of these things he could've accomplished HONORABLY over the course of the movie, but he resorts to trickery and pettiness instead. Really, I find all this very interesting, and it's part of the reason the movie has excellent rewatchability. Neither Thor nor Loki are one-note characters.

I doubt Loki's villainous characteristic has anything to do with his Jotun heritage. Laufey, who is the only other Jotun we see in any detail, is obviously perturbed by these brash Asgardians invading his realm, but he's seen the horrors of war and is reluctant to destroy the peace between their realms, even if he has a good reason to lose his temper. I think that is simply Loki's own darker side and unique to himself.

Odin's "demonization" might come from the fact that, in the comics right now, he's decided to sacrifice Midgard/Earth to save Asgard, and beat the shit out of Thor and locked him up for arguing. A lot of the fans are playing fast and loose with the various versions of canon.

Woobifying Loki is also canon, since he's a pretty adorable kid right now, for all that he's still dangerous and morally corrupt. He's still a dangerous and morally corrupt kid who is trying to save the world and loves his brother, which has its own appeal.
