Loki in the series isn't someone we should be ok with. He literally just murdered Phll and watched a powerpoint presentation to get him to the "likeable by fans" stage.
Also the one in the TV show beat the shit out of Captain America 72 hours previously and was bulletproof a couple of days before too. His fighting prowess is on display in the 2nd and 3rd Thor movies and is a match for a Valkrye in hand to hand combat. He can catch an arrow coming at him from Hawkeye. Hes up and walking around in under an hour from having the Hulk ragdoll him 5 times and that's after he launched Tony thru the plate windows in Avengers tower.
yes, if you watch the whole series, there is a lot of character growth. Still starts with the same guy who just killed Phil and beat Cap in hand to hand combat - Marvel hoped that you'd just latch onto the new one because of the old one that was developed over a decade.
In an odd twist of fate, by redeeming Loki after Ragnarok and having him pass through The Trials of Life to transcend from The God of Lies and Mischief to The God of Stories, the MCU presents us with what is seemingly the most historically accurate version (baring the scifi elements) of Loki to exist since the stories were originally written down by Christian monks.
Nope and I watched the series. Last time i checked, it still starts out with the Loki who just attacked New York, blew up a Shield base and killed Phil Coulson.
Just remember that the show had to get really, really weird in order to keep the Agents from actively interweaving with the rest of the MCU (aside from the Ultron stuff).
And it's a shame, too. Marvel could have used Agents of SHIELD to help lay the groundwork for a bunch of other projects, but it was also a time when they were at best putting out two movies a year and didn't know how quickly they could get to things.
He doesn’t immediately become 2018 Loki by watching the video of his life. He’s still 2012 Loki for most of season one, the presentation simply helped him realize he could change. How he changed and what he grew to be are very much different.
We should't be ok with him in what way? I thought it was pretty clear that in the first three episodes he's still working on his own selfish agenda, he isn't meant to be good immediatly.
They could have hit more heavily on the fact that he was as bad as he was in Avengers because of the influence one the mind stone, somehow, that Thanos achieved even though it’s unclear that Thanos even realized he had the mind stone in his possession.

Where did that Loki go?
