    Oh, yeah. Well, Loki is the freaking bad guy. Idiots.

    OMG... hahaha... Obviously, these people don't know who Whedon is. The guy is an avid supporter of and was honored by Equality now, a human rights org. for the protection and promotion of the human rights of women and girls around the world. This is like calling an priest an Athiest because he cracked a religious joke.

    Maybe, but Loki really IS adopted; it wasn't just a joke.

    And to be fair, Loki was adopted from a race of homicidal frost giants.

    Welcome to the age where anything you say or do will hurt someone's feelings.
    I do not procrastinate! I'll give you three good reasons proving I don't, but not right now. Maybe later when I feel like it.

    Whedon has some of the most amazing female characters. Calling him a sexist is so hilariously backwards.

    Yeah, true. I've been re-watching the Buffy series and enjoying how he presented the various characters in that show.
