Thor is evil now???

Frankly, any semblance this so-called movie might have to an ages old mythic cultural phenomenon must surely be purely coincidental. As you say, the movie is a perversion of Scandinavian lore as much as it is audience robbery. Historical or even mythic accuracy is never a strong point or even considered here, but the saving grace is, neither were other so-called adaptations of myths which cost considerably more; Wrath of the Titans, Clash of the Titans, Troy and The Immortals all defecated upon the original source material, and some accepted these films on their own merits, which were admittedly few, but the gall to perform a revisioning which occasionally looked well done saved it in my view

Vi Veri Veniversum Vivus Vici
By the power of truth I, while living, have conquered the universe

While I agree, its a perversion of norse mythology, I dont think people realize, that christanity, advocates for the destruction of the world (armageddon everyone?) So why this movie tried to make out THOR wanted the end of the world only. Is plain ridiculous.

As an atheist though, I think, all the mythical gods are just figments of human imaginations, however since there are many Christians around today, and not many Asatru believers, then it makes sense they wouldn't overtly attack or alienate potential audience members.

All the same *beep* though, I just enjoyed it for what it was, a simple action movie, somewhat entertaining, as I havent seen a viking based film in along while.

Im just in it for the action, i won't even get into the story, won't affect me, or anyone else, and if someone is getting insulted by this, it's their problem, stop whining, the only way to kill religions is to kill the whole lot of their followers.

The increase in human knowledge is the cause of the decline of religions.

Why does it have to be propaganda? Does it have a message it tries to comunicate? What if instead of trying to influence the audience, is a somewhat accurate depiction of what christianity tried to do in the past: purge from every culture their gods.

By tradition non-christian gods were depicted in the image of man, so it would also be natural to Thor to get enraged, after his cult was being dropped for christianity.

"Great minds discuss ideas; average minds discuss events; small minds discuss people."

Disagree. The story is about gods feeling betrayed and (even more so) being pissed of about it. The fact Thor fights against Christianity is because it is the biggest (new) religion in that timeperiod.

It is in fact the old ways fighting against change.

A god (either Thor or God or any) that has feelings of hatred and envy has to be a false god.
