Well, uh, I'd be a little disappointed if they went the "HE WAS MINDCONTROLLED" route, but mainly because my headcanon is that he was tortured by the chitauri and probably dissociative as all hell as a result. You know, stuff I already know leads people to act totally different from how they've acted previously, and rewrites people's memory to go "YOU THREW ME AWAYYYYYY" instead of, uh, "I let go".

This probably still counts as woobifying? IDEK? I think it explains his behavior without giving him a get-out-of-everything-free card, but who knows, it's a crazy fandom.

It pisses me off that if I go for a grey interpretation, someone will scream that I'm woobifying or being creepy. I guess I just find it narratively more interesting ~personally~ to look at Loki as fucked up and crazy, not just flat evil.

Dissociative is a good concept for headcanon re Loki/Chitauri. I will take it and run with it.

A lot of the time woobie is in the eye of the beholder. Either way, I really can't be bothered to care if someone is all SJRNFUFHFH over me going for a psychological explanation instead of hard right out "he's evil, the end", because That just feels like glossing over it anyway. "Evil" describes actions, maybe, but I want to have an idea of WHY those actions were chosen. What's going on in there?

tl;dr sympathetic fist bump, bro

This indeed. He was clearly scared and threatened with violence, not to mention coming out of that portal looking like he'd been dragged through a galaxy backwards. This isn't 'excusing' or 'woobifying', just an interesting set of variables.

I particualarly hate it when anti-woobies are so determined that All Villains Are Interchangeable and that True Grown-Up Fans only care about the heroes and want a different 2D villain every film. And they say it and say it (I remember similar arguments about Sylar) as if they can disprove 'some villains are popular and played by good actors' by sheer weight of words.

Personally, Bruce and Tony's inner turmoils bore the crap out of me. They have angst, they doubt, they're never going Bad because they're heroes, and all their psychological plot-points have been covered.

I'm far more interested in what the helling hell Loki thought he was sodding doing messing with those skullfaced lizard people, because he was so far out of his league you could only see a line of bubbles. It's not woobifying, it's just my area of interest. Also I want to see if Joss has the nerve to *completely* steal Spike's arc in BTVS season 4 or just hint at it, because I know he wants to. He wants to soooo bad.

Ohmygod, this.

I think people forgot this is Joss Whedon we're dealing with. He has a history of loving and redeeming woobielicious villains.

Exactly. All the people who cry 'WOOBIFICATION' seem to have missed that movie Loki is actually written in a certain way and Hiddleston definitely chose to interpret and act out the character in a way that was very damaged at times.
