Thor

Scandinavian Myth V. S Marvels Although the approximately recent mental picture Thor was very good, it was not accurate at entirely. In Scandinavian mythology, Thor is associated with a hammer, lightning, storms, oak trees, specialisation, the protection of mankind, and also hallowing, healing, and fertility. Besides the movie not being accurate there are many differences amidst Scandinavian mythology and Marvel Comics. In Scandinavian mythology he has his red tomentum cerebri and a red beard. Marvels Thor has long flowing golden locks, and is typically clean-shaven.While the Norse Thor prefers to travel in style, the Norse myth travels with his chariot drawn by two magic goats Tanngrisnir and Tanngnjostr.

A battle continues until Odin intervenes to save the Asgardians, destroying the imperfect truce between the two races.A big difference between the myths is that the Asgardians, The Warriors Three, in reality have no place in Norse myth, and wound up a part of the Marvel myths essentially because they thought it would make the fiction better. For Thors arrogance, Odin strips his son of his power and exiles him to country to live as a mortal. Odin, fearing the plotting of his manipulative son Loki, sends down Thors hammer Mjollnir affixed with a command that lone(prenominal) the man worthy of the throne of Asgard can lift it. Thor must discipline wisdom and sacrifice before he can return to his rightful(prenominal) place.In the movie the Mjollnir is one of the few things that are true. He wears a belt that gives him strength, gloves of iron that enable him to handle his hammer. Marvels Thor has raw power only when the Norse myth indicate s that Thor needed a magical belt and gloves to give him the strength to use Mjollnir to its full effect.

Trym had hidden the hammer eight stops under the ground. Trym express he would return the hammer, if he could have the goddess Freyja for his bride. While on Earth, Thor meets the scientist Jane Foster. Against all logic and self-preservation Foster believes Thor when he claims hes a god who has been exiled to Earth. Over the traverse of the next two days the two fall in love. As they learn of the hammer in a field they set out to get it. Another true thing when comparing both Thors is that he is ladies man.In the movie Thor falls for the mortal n urse Jane Foster and in the Norse myth the Asgardian goddess Sif. A difference in his love purport is that Thor in Marvels story had children in alternate futures, whereas the Norse Thor is the proud of at least three children from his various affairs when married to Sif. Thors Asgardian friends eventually fix their way down to Earth to help him fight off a big metal beast called The Destroyer. He has been ordered to destroy Thor at all costs. Thors love for Jane and his lessons of humility gives him the power to pull the hammer out.He becomes an deity warrior and defender of the people saving them from destruction. Thor saves the day in the end but destroys the only known way to travel to the mortal world leave his love behind. In both Marvel and Norse myth, Asgard is connected to Earth by a bridge called Bifrost, which manifests as multicolored arc in the sky.
