Thor is one of the better attempts lately to explore a character who has unbelievable raw power, but rather than having to battle equally raw power or their inner demons or a dark version or themselves, simply gets out classed, beat down, or can't show up fast enough. He's one of the few characters in the MCU that actually gets to lose sometimes, and when he does, for all the lightening and cool weapons, well he says it best. "I'm just an idiot standing there with an axe."
That's human. And it's also not a side of heroes we see often. We see Tony break down, cap fight back, starlord goes nutso, we get all these aspects of failure but the must human of off is ignored everywhere but with Thor. What happens when you used everything you have, and still failed. What happens when you "win" and they're still dead? What happens when you're not just upset or being isolationist (Tony, Rocket) but you actually really have no one left. No family. No friends. No old acquaintances. No girlfriend. You've got what, these super powered guys who are arguing and getting into different random shit every other week that you sort of know and work with when it's important, or this badass valkyrie you've know for about 12 minutes? Oh hey, Krog and Torg, who you've known for 15 minutes. I'm a regular 27 year old dude and I only have a couple of close friends, no family and no partner, I feel lonely and isolated to an extent. This dude has a few good natured acquaintances and the burdens of a god to a dieing (Endangered?) species, which he failed to preserve/save.
TL;DR: For all the lightening and Chris Hemsworthing he does, Thor is an awfully relatable and human dude.
I feel like Thor's scenes with his Mother in Endgame don't get enough appreciation. Those scenes were fantastic and really grounded. They made a God seem as broken and disillusioned as any human can be. Seeking his Mother for guidance and reassurance. Having her be comforting and loving of a man so different from the son she knows. It was really humbling.
thor has one of the best character arc out of all the characters imo
wasn't a big fan of him in the first thor or dark world, but love the comedic approach they took to his character in ragnorak and endgame
The way he's so happy to see he's still worthy, despite being a fat,anxious drunkard. Great message, fantastic story telling.
The scene when Thorβs breaking down in front of rocket might be my favorite performance by Hemsworth.
This Iron Man Arc video is my favorite in this style of editing
In the Eddas and the handful of other sources we have on the old Norse, one of the virtues that got a lot of praise and respect was cheerfulness.
Even today, in the Nordic counties and in families in the US that come from them, it's a very common trait for folks to always put on an optimistic facade, crack a joke and dismiss or minimize hardships during difficult times. My father's family are relatively recent Norwegian immigrants, and the difference between their approach to difficulties and the approach taken by my mother's family and the vast majority of others I know is striking. In fact, it can be difficult to tell when something wrong with a family member on that side, because they still smile, still laugh, still come to family functions, etc.
Just something to think about when you see Thor cracking jokes, allowing himself to be the butt monkey and acting blasse about trauma and hardship.
I remember when people just thought Chris Hemsworth as Thor was the dry, eye-candy superhero. I don't think anyone's eyes were dry after his performances in infinity war and endgame. Masterful writing, masterful acting. Perfect 5/7.
Slyfer2812 is an excellent editor.
