Thor of Norse Mythology The most popular of the Norse mythology gods is Thor, but do we really know a lot about him. Thor was the god of thunder and sky, just like the well-known god Zeus. Thor possessed a powerful hammer, Mjolnir, which is his symbol but also is his main weapon, which could summon thunderbolts. He also had gauntlets, Megingjord, which could crush boulders. His way of transportation was a “chariot moved by two big Billy goats” (Daly). That's just the widely known background of Thor;
Thor: Ragnarok (2017) The movie I chose is Thor: Ragnarok; I am a big marvel fan and especially a huge fan of Thor. I’ve been familiar with Thor since 2011; I have watched all the marvel films to date. It actually wasn’t until I took this class to learn that Thor is part of Norse mythology. Once we started reading the Norse mythology chapter, everything started to sink in and fall into place. When I started watching the films, I knew that they were part of mythology; I just didn’t know what

Thor of Asgard finally earns his rightful status as Marvel’s mightiest Avenger in Phase 2 of Marvel’s Cinematic Universe. Sweeping, smartly paced, and frequently laugh-out-loud funny, Thor: The Dark World is definitely a must-see movie! Thanks in large part to dedicated performances by a supremely talented cast and director Alan Taylor’s talent for seamlessly blending awe-inspiring action with light-hearted comedy. The story begins with a preview of the newest villain. The Dark Elves were vanquished
Thor Ragnarok takes place a little while after the events of Thor The Dark World and further goes into the adventures of Thor and Loki. This movie takes a whole new spin to the franchise. The past two Thor movies were more classic super hero action movies, but this this one can be more accurately described as a comedy with action scenes. I believe that this is actually a great move as it really gives this series of movies its own feeling or vibe. Previous Marvel movies and especially the Avengers
A Comparison of the Celtic God Sucellus Silvanus and the Norse God Thor The Gaulish hammer-god, Sucellus Silvanus, is among the most important of the Celtic deities with respect to religious expression and influence as well as the iconography that depicts him (Green, 1992).

“Once in a while you find yourself in an odd situation.

dispute between the behaviors of legitimate and illegitimate sons, leading to the fate of the parent and the overall resolution of the work. Specifically dealing with Shakespeare’s play King Lear, and the latest Marvel film franchise surrounding the hero Thor, there is a direct correlation between the themes of these works and the presence of both a legitimate, and an illegitimate, son.

In the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), the movies Thor (2011), The Avengers (2012), and Thor: The Dark World (2013) contain the characters Thor and Loki: mythological brothers from the fictional realm of Asgard. The music written for these characters from the different views of all three of the composers who scored these films: Patrick Doyle, (Thor, 2011), Alan Silvestri (The Avengers, 2012), and Brian Tyler (Thor: The Dark World, 2013) is a fascinating study because without music, a movie

Thor knew of his secret, and how he valued it so, and attempted to pressure Loki into divulging it in front of everyone. As Thor forced
making a noise like a lion trying to hack up a hairball glared at everyone. “Prince Thor, if you could control your companions, all will be explained. In an orderly manner.” Ignoring Old Geezer, Thor finally noticed Winter. “Loki! When did the All Father claim a Wolf?
