Being from a Nordic country, I could never get into the Thor movies due to how ridiculous everything about the fake lore was.

Which wouldn't be a problem except they're the only ones with the always brilliant Kat Dennings in them 😭

    You ever play God of War Ragnarok?

    Yeah, but didn't get very far before I got frustrated by all the puzzles and quit.

    The puzzles are like some of the worst shit in GoW to me. However, everyone says you can't remove it because it's SO apart of the game. I just really enjoyed their take on Nordic mythology.

    I don't even remember the first 3 games having puzzles unless you count the QTEs as puzzles. It was pure action.

    But also: Why does Odin sound like he's from New York?

    lol ... yeah the first three were pure action to me ... I mean, unless you count putting that woman to hold the wheel to keep the gate open which then kills her a puzzle too ....

    lol I mean there's no arguing that, but I fucking love that actor ... but I definitely can't counter what you said 🤣

    I solved that by simply thinking of it like a generic SciFi/Fantasy movie that coincidentally had some overlapping names with Nordic mythology. Still not great movies, especially after they just made everything into a comedy.

    I tried to do that too. I failed to, though.

    True. Chris Hemsworth has been good in exactly two movies, (as a hilarious himbo in Ghost Busters and as James Hunt in Rush) and Kat Dennings doesn't get enough screentime to improve the movies beyond "bad to mediocre" quality.

    Thor does briefly start getting more like Norse Thor in Avengers Infinity War. Then he shortly becomes a hopeless alcoholic and mellows out to Disney Thor again.

    But what about the historically accurate version?

    Just some guy with a hammer. Could fix anything, except his marriage.

    Ancient incels liked his message about power and the subjugation of wenches to their men folk, and thus deified him as an arbiter of truth, valor, and justice

    Wait until you read pretty much any source material whatsoever for any of the original Disney movies or older kids movies, like the little mermaid or Willy Wonka.

    Ragnarok addressed this directly by showing Thor's family was guilty of committing atrocities, but Thor himself is innocent.
