The thing about Thor, is he doesn’t even make sense in Marvel Universe world. All the other characters have origin stories sort of kind of not really but maybeish based in reality. Spider Man and Daredevil got their powers from radiation. The X-Men got their powers from evolution. Iron Man built his suit, and he can do that ’cause he’s smart, ect. Thor is…the Norse god of thunder. You would think Odinism would immediately become wildly popular. Yet, it does not….

And I knew well in advance I was going to totally dig this movie for the same reason I hate Kenneth Branagh’s Shakespeare things. He’s always really over the top and cartoony, which made him the perfect guy to make a Thor movie.
