I have a permit for that...

I'm sitting here thinking of a plot for a Thor movie. I can't say why, really. A dream I had suggested Thor to me, and I know jack about the actual character beyond the very basics. I could make a whole 'nother Thor for all I know.

But the thing that I pulled away from my dream was that gods, and religion, are supposed to engender hope. It's one of the few social services that they perform that can't be performed by others.

It's also the winning answer to the riddle game... the one the demon doesn't win against Dream in the story arc "A Season of Mist" from the Sandman series. Neil Gaiman is awesome.

Timmy hat gesagt…

Comic books are notorious for that kind of thing.

Ask a Greek about what Marvel did to Herakles (Hercules for the Greek impaired).

But that kind of thing won't change in a Hollywood movie. They won't cast Nicholas Cage or Steve Buscemi as Thor. Ever. Even blonde.
