Of all Marvel's major characters, Thor is one I never got whatsoever. Please explain his appeal.

Thor is a) badass and b) bitchin'
Exhibit A:
Insightful analysis, no?
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a bowl of soup
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a rolling hoop
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a ton of lead
Wiggle - you can raise the dead
Pex Lives!

In other news, is this a good comic?
I read the synopsis of the series on Amazon and it sounds pretty good. Any readers here?

Steve Marriott had Thor painted on his walls when he went a little "fame-crazy"
Good ol' Stevie.

Because later in that issue, Thor is swallowed by that serpent and then bashes his way out through his TEETH.Dr. Medulla wrote:Of all Marvel's major characters, Thor is one I never got whatsoever. Please explain his appeal.
Also, he was briefly turned into a frog. A FROG THAT KICKED ASS.

I feel that there is a fascistic element, for example, in the Rolling Stones . . .

Re: Flex and Wolter's Den of Nerdly Awesomeness
That ain't helping. I suspect my a-Thorist position is related to my dislike fantasy as a genre. I'd rather read about Spider-man caught in the middle of a Hammerhead-Dr. Octopus feud, while some Osborn slowly begins to turn into the Green Goblin.Wolter wrote:Because later in that issue, Thor is swallowed by that serpent and then bashes his way out through his TEETH.Dr. Medulla wrote:Of all Marvel's major characters, Thor is one I never got whatsoever.

Re: Flex and Wolter's Den of Nerdly Awesomeness
That's also a great time for me, but I also like big dudes hitting other big dudes with hammers while speaking in fakey highbrow language.

That's something that pulls me out of the experience. For the same reason that the Silver Surfer never appealed to me. Kind of like what Harrison Ford told Lucas: "You can write this shit, George, but you can't say it."Wolter wrote: speaking in fakey highbrow language.

Oh, and I just totally forgot. Also in that issue, at the end, he hits the Midgard serpent so hard he breaks every bone in HIS OWN body.Wolter wrote:Because later in that issue, Thor is swallowed by that serpent and then bashes his way out through his TEETH.Dr. Medulla wrote:Of all Marvel's major characters, Thor is one I never got whatsoever.
