Assuming this isn't just a troll secret, though, I think the fantastical nature of superhero films makes it easier to excuse truly horrible actions because of the way they're portrayed. I know when I watched Thor I was not particularly horrified at the idea that the Frost Giants were in danger of being wiped out--on an intellectual level I understood that it was genocide, but emotionally it's so outside the realm of possibility that it's hard to experience a truly visceral reaction. I think the Avengers movie does a better job at making Loki's actions more shocking and emotionally affecting, but it's still a PG-13 summer action movie and by necessity the audience is distanced from the consequences of Loki's cruelty, with the major exception of Coulson's death.
By contrast, Breaking Bad is far more accessible. Nothing Walt does comes even close to what Loki does, but the audience is much closer to the suffering that Walt's actions cause. So in some ways it's harder to ignore.

My comment isn't smarter than yours at all! I think this is entirely right -- it's all about the way the canons position one's emotional reaction.
In general I think comparing across canons is really hard unless they are very similar in tone. I mean, I have some characters I hate because they were kind of shitty to their friends a couple of times, and others I love despite the fact that they've killed people. It's all about what those actions mean within the context of a canon.
