Thor

Plot

In the Marvel universe, we're introduced to the world of Asgard, where our protagonist, Thor, is the mighty god of thunder. The throne room of the majestic palace Asgard is the setting for the early scenes of the movie. The beautiful Gudrun, disguised as Harid, stands before the throne where the wise and just king, Odin, sits. Also in the room is King Odin's sons and heirs, Loki - an adopted son - and Thor. The siblings show potential to rule a kingdom, with Thor possessing incredible strength, courage and the ability to wield the mighty hammer Mjolnir. They stand before their father, Odin, the king, with Harid expressing the supposed 'betrayal' that has shocked Asgard's nation who see such an act as injustice. A sudden, most ominous sound echoes through the Asgardian palace: the enchanting sound of thunder. A colossal crowd gathers around the Palace of Asgard to find and respond to the chaos that has engulfed the enchanting world of Asgard. To their horror, it is revealed that the fire giants from the fire realm, Muspelheim, under the command of the powerful and ruthless giant, Laufey, are embarking on a full-scale invasion of Asgard. As a warrior and man of justice, Odin understands and immediately sets in motion a strategy to repel the giants which sees him call upon his most powerful warriors to defend the enchanted world of Gods. These brave warriors embody power and the strength Asgard commands. However, alongside the musings of understanding justice as called upon by his father Odin, the arrogant Thor senses his time as king coming soon. And a prophecy comes forth that Asgard's enemy of the future soon attacks, and future prophecy declares Thor as a hero of his world that becomes Asgard's savior. With boastful bravado in his heart, in defiance of his father's warning, the mighty Thor, king-in-the-making (with no humility whatsoever) rushes into battle - proving that although Thor wields great strength, he possesses immense foolishness. And with this kind of aggression in the face of immense danger, the consequences of Thor's naivety are revealed - he has plunged his home land of Asgard into full-scale chaos, even sparking a battle that pits some Asgardian soldiers against each other and ultimately leading to an unwanted but unfortunate choice made by Thor's family king, Odin, the wise and all-powerful ruler. Forced by the gravity of the action he was involved in, the powerful Odin feels he must take an extremely tough and heart-wrenching measure - his penalty on Thor, banished to earth. For Thor's foolish move represents just what such a power-hungry show like his may do - as even love can start wars - leading to a final resolution that results in irreparable damage to their bond. And so, after his arrogant, angry, and enraged Thor hurls himself (bemoaning in great tears of rage) against his mighty and powerful father Odin who cast him down to earth for his recklessly angry and violent actions. His god-like powers, useless on our blue planet with atmosphere, eventually begin to dwindle over time, rendering him too human for him at this point of self-realization and much like mere humans fragile, and imperiled. Despite all the many trials he would face, the magnificent warrior, once cast aside for his reckless actions and seemingly now ashamed of the trouble he's made, still manages to stumble - somewhat blind to these newfound feelings and sentiments within his heart, so foreign for a powerful god like him who relied upon fury from the thunder that left him feeling humiliated, lost and seemingly, in agony. As earthlings wake up morning after morning to start a new day full of opportunity filled with trivial problems that could be easily solved by men with all the strength of a small army, the cast-aside god of thunder fails to make a long stay on this hard, unforgiving earth - who, on his first day here (still drenched in despair) must find and 'bear' more serious, far greater challenges. But trying to find a place for himself on this merciless earth, where the world beats cold and hard, is all well and good but extremely tough if you've been used to wielding the power of the gods themselves. Despite being more accustomed to doing the task as big gods of men do with ease while on earth we struggle with simple challenges like crossing large bridges that takes a huge effort for us, he founds something he holds dear.
