Will Thor Be The God of Thunder?

I thought we already new this but still good find

Didn't know this was common knowledge. I was actually still under the impression that they would go the mythology route, so it was a bit of a surprise to me. Apologies if this is just a rehashing of old news, I found it relevant.

Also, I may have accidentally implied that the HULK will factor into the Thor movie. This is not the case. Feige was actually speaking of The Avengers when discussing HULK. Sorry folks, it's still early for me.

maybe its a mixture of both. i dont think its ever said offically that they are the real norse gods...maybe they are like the new gods. godlike humans with supernatural powers

I am looking forward to a Hulk sequel, the fights were better than Iron Man.

Yeah Yeah Yeah

I'm a fkn toolbox.

SORRY ROR-MACHINE!!

I missed your article, which is certainly the better and more detailed piece. That's what I get for trying to contribute without reading all the articles first. I edited the content of my article to hopefully get some of the egg off my face.

Do with me what you will Mighty Galactus.

Very very interesting. I'll tell you what is meant by science in this concept, and it's actually pretty cool...

They are saying let's take the meaning of this word "god" out into the mud and play a bit of rugby with it which is EXACTLY what marvel has done all these years.

Different people mean different things when they use the term "god". The Norse concept of a god is a little closer to nature worship and classic paganism than the Judeo Christian concept of it. And the Marvel concept is like a sci fi variation on that.
So essentially looking at the use of the word and what is meant by it within the context of Marvel comics and not the stilted normative way we are accustomed is where they are getting their movie conept from.

So from the Marvel view the Asgardian gods are a race of extra dimensional dwelling, magical, super human beings who can trace their origins through Odin's bloodline back to some of the the earliest organic sentient creatures in the universe. The ancient Norsemen worshiped them as gods because their Shamans learned of their existence through astral travel to other dimensional places such as Asgard, and in their primitive way came to regard them as the origins of natural pheonomena on Earth.
For an Asgardian, gaining a special title such as "God of Thunder","All Father" or "God of Mischief" are bestowed as honors, accolades, special magickal powers or , as in the case of Loki, social stigmas.

So when your talking about Marvel "gods" you might mean "A mystical being that is more powerful than ourselves, as in the Norse or Olympian gods. Or you might mean that they are highly unique, vastly powerful beings who perform some kind of important function in the universe like Galactus and The Celestials. Then there are beings that are fundamntal to the nature of the universe itself as in Eternity, The Phoenix Force or the Living Tribunal. Those could certianly be called gods as well. And then there are a few that are even more powerful than that such as the never seen One Above All and the Beyonder. They are definitely Gods too.

Excellent summation DarthMulder

As always, you can be counted on to give insight on topics of incredible depth. You are never "out of your element, Donnie!" when these matters arise. You actually made this article worth reading! :)

And the *belch* was a fkn cherry on top bro!

hahahahhahahahah RUB-A-DUB-DUB!!

@ Billy: It was worth reading before I commented, amigo.

If Ror posted it already I must have missed it.

That's cool. I kind of figured they would go the Earth-X route with Thor/Asgardians' origin. It will make it easier to explain Thor's "magical powers" which really aren't magical at all. The Earth-X Asgardians were the pinacle of Celestial experimentations; they are the celestials' ultimate creations.
