Sometimes I really wish people would differentiate between “I hate this character” and “I dislike aspects of how this character was handled in a work.”
Same here (though I don’t think I’d ever refer to Thor as “my golden son”… I liked him fine before Ragnarok, but never to that degree). And I’m often at pains to distinguish myself from the Loki stans who hated Thor and thought he was a horrible abusive bully in the first 2 Thor films + The Avengers. I do not hate Thor as he was introduced and characterized for 4 films. If I fully accepted his characterization in Ragnarok as canon, I think I would have to start hating him. But since I think he’s basically not even the same person as the Thor of previous films, it makes more sense to say I hate the way his character was handled in Ragnarok.
I jumped ship from Tumblr and this is where I landed. I'm a philosophy postdoc (INTJ, she/her) with a serious thing for Tom Hiddleston as Loki. Sometimes I even write fanfiction about it. Mostly Loki and Thor/Loki (sometimes NSFW), some miscellaneous Hiddles, MCU (Steve/Tony or "Superhusbands" is my secondary ship), occasional Cherik, Game of Thrones, LOTR, Whedonverse... whatever catches my fancy, really.
