It was a real “baroo?” moment when I heard it in the movie, is all, and I immediately took to the anonymity of Tumblr to state my opinion! So why did Tony Stark call Thor a “demi-god” in The Avengers? The obvious and / or exasperated answer may be a slip of the script, but this seems like a bizarre thing to overlook. There was no tomfoolery a la Zeus in Grecian mythology when it came to siring Thor. It’s clear that his mother and father both were Asgardian and gods. He was still 100% Asgardian, his godhood stolen from him by his father. The earliest records of the Germanic peoples were recorded by the Romans, and in these works Thor is frequently referred to via a process known as interpretatio romana (where characteristics perceived to be similar by Romans result in identification of a non-Roman god as a Roman deity) as either the Roman god Jupiter (also known as Jove) or the Greco-Roman god Hercules.

When you take away someone’s powers, that doesn’t magically transform them into a different race he was made mortal, if anything, but not human. In the movie, Thor was a god and when he was cast to Earth, he had only lost his powers and not his memory. Kenneth Branagh’s Thor in no way addressed this. Thor is a demigod, and any attempt to scientifically explore. But he eventually discovers Mjolnir and strikes it against a rock, and his true form is regained. ThorNorse god, Marvel superhero, and Hollywood eye candypresents those of us living in the real world with a few problems. Donald Blake without any of his memories as Thor. Comic!Thor is rooted fully in godhood, being the son of Odin and Gaea he could really only be considered a demi-god when Odin throws him into the body of Dr. The term “demi-” means “half,” which indicates that a “demi-god” would be half of a god.
Thor demigod movie#
which are as good as any summer movie that I've seen in years.(Screencap from likeitsoxygen in the “Thor” tag, which is overrun with Loki and that’s totally fine by me.) The choices made and the relationships on display are as wonderful as the brawling and action. The family dynamics between fathers & sons along with sibling rivalry and the price of vanity and lack of humility all resonate.

Sure, the action and fantasy are incredible but the story works so well. The genuine and relatable qualities of these characters are what make it a great film. THAT elevates this film far beyond anything I was expecting but I should have known better considering the source material and the director. Thor is a super-strong "god" and can travel through space with supernatural powers yet the story is paradoxical and contrary about those elements instead choosing to focus on the human elements. The director's background in Shakespearian themes comes in to play right from the beginning of the film and run throughout. Overall, a summer movie that's superior to everything else that I've seen in years. I can't wait to see what Captain America brings us. The pacing was perfect as is the link to the Marvel movie Universe. It's a perfect blend and this movie is far deeper then I would've thought. Many aspects are classical drama and yet other aspects are just plain old fun kick-butt action scenes. He presents the entire film in a way that can be savored. It's very artistic and you would expect no less from Kenneth Branagh. Loki: You know, it all makes sense now, why you favored Thor all these years, because no matter how much you claim to love me, you could never have a Frost Giant sitting on the throne of Asgard!Īnother outstanding effort, Marvel does it again! It's hard to believe that a movie with this subject matter can make you think and challenge all your movie viewing skills but it does so and more. I am the monster parents tell their children about at night? I wanted only to protect you from the truth. Loki: You could have told me what I was from the beginning! Why didn't you? Loki: So I am no more than another stolen relic, locked up here until you might have use of me? Bring about an alliance, bring about permanent peace. Odin: I thought we could unite our kingdoms one day. Loki: Why? You were knee-deep in Jotun blood. Small for a Giant's offspring, abandoned, suffering, left to die.

In the aftermath of the battle I went into the temple and I found a baby. Loki: The Casket wasn't the only thing you took from Jotunheim that day, was it?
