“Thor”, the first film about the son of Odin, will be shown in the Afternoon Session this Friday, 18
Joining the Marvel Cinematographic Universe in 2011, through the solo film that receives his imposing name, Thor became one of the most beloved characters by superhero fans, as his strength, incredible charisma and integrity ended up winning the affection of everyone who watched their adventures on the big screen.
Thinking about it, the consequence could not be otherwise, the character was hugely successful and the God of Thunder received other individual productions. If you’re also a fan of Odin’s son, check out 5 facts you need to know about this iconic character.
1. Where did these powers come from?
Known as the God of Thunder, the powers of Thor deserve this title, as he can control the forces of nature, especially thunderbolts.
However, contrary to what Thor believed, this incredible power does not come from Mjolnir, his mighty Hammer, but from himself, as this ability has always resided within him.
2. Flying, but with caveats
Despite being one of the most common abilities among superheroes, flying is not one of Thor’s powers. But in case you’re wondering how he ascends to the skies, the answer is this: if Thor throws Mjolnir and keeps holding the handle, he manages to travel between the clouds with his hammer.
3. Big name
The full name of this Asgardian is Thor Odinson, but his last name tells not only which family he belongs to, but also reveals who is responsible for preceding his origin, since the name is the result of the union of two words: “Odin” and “Son”, which together mean “son of Odin” in Portuguese.
It is worth remembering that the surname is composed of this combination due to the way the Nordic cultures portrayed in history name their relatives.
4. Enemies
In “Thor: Love and Thunder” the son of Odin is expected to face one of his greatest adversaries: Gorr, the Butcher of the Gods.
However, this will not be the first time that Thor will deal with a great enemy, as one of the biggest highlights is Loki, the God of Mischief, who causes several conflicts after the God of Thunder discovers that he is not his brother. , even generating the loss of Asgard.
Still, the conflicts do not stop there. Thor has an extensive list of people he cannot trust, including: Laufey, the Giant Ice King, Surtur and the Fire Giant, the dark elf named Malekith and also Hela, his half sister, also known as the goddess of Death.
5. Allies
Despite facing intense battles and difficulties, throughout his trajectory, the God of Thunder was able to count several times on the precious councils of Heimdall, the guardian of the Bifrost bridge, who is not his only ally, since in his own land, Thor was able to fight alongside Sif, Volstagg, Fandral and Hogun.
In another phase of his life, Steve Rogers ends up being one of the main friends of the hero in the Avengers, as well as Rocket Racoon and Groot, two of the Guardians of the Galaxy who helped him to forge a new weapon to fight Thanos after the loss of Mjolnir.
But the companies did not only appear in battles, since the scientist Jane Foster became, not only an important part of the experience of the God of Thunder, after his exile to Earth, but also, for starring in a great love with the warrior.
