I don't blame you for having the wrong feeling with the word "flawed," because it does have kind of a negative connotation to it (nobody's ever like, "I'm so flawed! Wheeee!"). It's really more like a personality or emotional complication than it is "something that is objectively bad," particularly when you're discussing the craft of writing (where flawed characters are usually the best characters because they have the most potential for growth, generally have a lot of motivation, and are usually more interesting than characters that aren't flawed.)

And I understand where you're coming from now regarding feelings. Personally, I don't think that Loki was ~wrong~ to feel like he's unwanted and whatever (it was factually incorrect but emotions are rarely logical anyways), but I do think that his stubborn refusal to see that, no Odin really does love him and probably killing all the frost giants wouldn't be a way to win his affection anyways is a problem. So it's sort of like, "Yeah, you can feel however you feel...but when your emotions start resulting in you genociding a whole race you might want to take a step back and re-evaluate."

And it's okay if you got emotional about the topic. With this kind of heavy stuff it can be pretty difficult to not get emotional. And I didn't feel like you were personally attacking me so it's all good. :D
