I will admit that my taste for trollish old man Zuko has been influenced significantly by this comic: http://fanficforensics.deviantart.com/art/Troll-on-board-308927360
Also, is it just me or did MCU Loki's character arc make zero freaking sense? People who are going to go nuts and commit genocide are assholes with zero empathy long before they start the killing. I mean, he clearly was in a state of narcissistic rage at the end of Thor 1, and then Avengers, he was sadistically insane and unable to plan worth shit, but according to Thor and the information we have about him pre-canon, he wasn't exactly a narcissist before hand, and was much more of a long term effective plotter than anything in the rest of the MCU would suggest. People do not just go crazy-evil at one trigger, crazy, yes, possibly if pushed far enough, but he should have been showing signs of having empathy issues way earlier than the MCU suggests.
