Thor

As a wee lad, I'd often lain mine eyes on shelves within book shops, containing thin volumes known as "comics," mocked for scorn by some, or regarded as sacred writ from sources most powerful to others. Thor, like many a hero in cape and tights, struck discord to mine youthful need for reason. Forsooth, I could not mingle amongst such nonsense. Years passed. A trailer emerged--a bewitching sight that roused gramercy from mine lips--and with Branagh, a brother of such favorable works, which have more ado than nothing! Mine attention drawn, I harkened the date and reserved a lofty digital screen, only to unearth a neglected gem of mine childhood. A pox be on the heads of puny morals who would berate the might of Thor, a Marvel amongst this new and dawning summer, and may Odin have mercy on their depraved souls, but prithee mind its worthiness as one would a fallen god.

Thor, Odin's son, is a warrior like none other, the very god of thunder, and he is to be made king before the hosts of Asgard, The Eternal, until Frost Giants invade the weapons vault and delay the ceremony. Enraged, Thor goes against his father and seeks the giants out, in their realm of Jotunheim, causing a violent disturbance that would unleash war amongst the realms. As punishment, Odin seizes Thor's hammer, Mjolnir, and banishes him to Earth. If Thor wishes to reclaim his fallen hammer, he must learn of his faults and become worthy. He must make haste. Trouble threatens to destroy Asgard and the Nine Realms (including Earth). Can a moral woman help guide Thor back to his noble ways, or will the invincible Destroyer sunder him to ashes?
