The Real Thor Is Not Who You Think He Is

October 25, 2023

The real Thor from Norse Mythology was not blonde. The real Thor was not rocking abs, nor would he win any beauty contest. The real Thor was quick to anger, and just as quick to smash everything to pieces with his hammer. In fact... the real Thor was more like Marvel’s Hulk than Marvel’s Thor in many ways: An angry, massive man that just wanted to fight and drink, and preferred not to think. Actually, God of War Ragnarok had a fairly accurate depiction of Thor, particularly in his appearance.

Mythology Thor being so different from the MCU Thor does not make Norse Mythology's God of Thunder any less interesting... if anything, it makes for more exciting stories. Watch the video to find out more!
