Comic books- Why pick Thor as a HERO?

[JEDI]

of all the asguardian gods, why pick Thor as a comic title?

Odin would have been the natural choice, being the head huncho.

because thor has a cool history and story. also he is "younger" then Odin.


personally i never cared for Thor at all.

 

[Aquaman]

No because Odin has more important things to do then save humanity.

Cheers,
Aquaman

Because you have a much more dynamic story and character development if you use someone who's not totally perfect and all-powerful?


"Hey, let's make a sitcom staring God!"

"Can't he just snap his fingers and have everything work its way out?"

"Yeah, I figured a 15-second runtime for each episode..."

Because he is the supreme commander of the Asguard Fleet, and because he has hooked up the SGC with some cool technology.

Read the mythology... Odin is very similar to Zues... he caused as many problems for people as he fixed... Thor is more of a peoples god... kind of like Hercules in a way... Norse mythology is extremely interesting and though more bleak and blood various parellels are apparent. If you read about it you will fill like it is a retelling of various greek myths.

Thor is the angsty kid that's lashing out against dad by helping humanity

 

[Capt Caveman]

He's got Mjolnir, that's why. Hammer time!

 

[mugs]

Because he has a kick-ass name. All of my computers are named after Thor, and I make it the middle name of my first son. My wife is adamantly opposed to that, but hopefully she's drugged up pretty good when they're filling out the birth certificate.
