You know, I think I do my “meta” discussion better as fanfiction. Have Loki and Thor talk out their issues themselves, or explain my “WTF happened to Loki?” hypothesis in narrative form. A major advantage of this is that it makes perfectly clear what my stance is on the characters and makes it much harder to accuse me of hating Thor or absolving Loki of flaws and guilt. A disadvantage, of course, is that it’s longer (doing justice to an issue sometimes requires that)… and people don’t like it when you respond to their arguments with “just read my fic, OK.”
