Thor


I've been wanting to see this movie for awhile because Thor will be in "The Avengers" this year, and if I want to fully understand that movie, I need to know the stories behind the characters. So my husband and I finally got around to watching it, and at first, I thought it was just a really weird movie. I know superhero movies aren't real, but I like them more when they "can" be real. Like in Superman, Spiderman, and Batman, these superheros are on earth hiding from people, not giving away their identities, which makes it seem more real, and it is more enjoyable for me. So when Thor started out in this other world, I just didn't really like it. I think that's why I don't like Star Wars and other things like that. But Thor did get better... once he got to earth. It was funnier, more interesting, and more "realistic" I guess. So about the movie, my husband made a good point. How did Natalie Portman "fall" for Thor so fast? Was it just because she saw him with his shirt off? Because he was a huge stuck-up butt when he got to earth. I thought that was a push for a love story. And my husband also didn't know when Thor's personality actually changed. When did he go from this stuck-up butt to a noble person? I think it was when he realized he couldn't grab the hammer thingy. But it's not really clear. The movie was alright. I don't think I'd watch it again though. 


That was my post from the first time I saw this movie. My opinion has changed quite a bit. I love Thor. The story is Thor is about to become king, and his brother Loki is jealous. Loki secretly lets in the frost giants during Thor's crowning ceremony, Thor gets upset and goes to their realm and tries to kill them all. Loki knew Thor would react this way, and then Thor ends up being cast out to earth. While on earth he has to figure out where he is, and how to get back to Asgard. So from my previous post, while on earth he learns to be a true hero because he can't pick up his hammer, Loki comes to visit and tells him his father died because of Thor's behavior, then Loki sends a monster to destroy Thor and I guess Thor's sacrifice and fighting allows him to get his hammer back. He returns to Asgard to find that his father is not dead and him and Loki fight. The thing that doesn't make sense for me this time is: 


Thor goes to the frost giants home to destroy them and because of this he is exiled.

Loki wants to become king and as acting king he starts to destroy the frost giants home.

If Loki was trying to do something that Thor would hate, why would he do the same thing Thor wanted to do in the beginning?

because when Thor and Loki were fighting (Thor was trying to stop it from being destroyed) Loki says something like "she has made you soft" talking about the girl on earth. 


Anyway, so then Thor destroys the portal for the Asgard's to travel anywhere, so he can't go back to earth to his girl until it is rebuilt or whatever. I love and hate Loki. You just want him to be good because his feelings are just hurt. I don't know. But I love Thor. Maybe not like this movie in particular but I love his character.
