Thursday is Thor's Day

Well it has taken me some time to sit down and finally watch the movie Thor. It was pretty decent. I guess between the director and the actors they finally got it fairly right.Of course being a comic book geek I do have one or two things to nit pick but the only major one was killing off Loki. Hard to do when he is such an important part of Ragnarok.

 

The title for this blog is actually very correct. Thursday is actually Thor's Day. One of those little twists in history. With so many months and all named after the Greeks the Norse Gods did slip in now and then. Especially when the Greeks adopted and molded the Norse Gods to fit their own. Jupiter/Zeus often was identified with Thor. Okay, enough of the history lesson. :lol: Lord the things one learns over the years.

 

Anyway my next one to watch is the new Tron movie. Can you tell I am a bit behind in my movies? I can’t remember the last new movie I got to go see.

 

So hope you all enjoyed your day and your night. Shortly off to bed. Sweet dreams all.

Nephy it really is a good movie. Will be interesting to see how they tie this into the other characters who will be in the Avengers movie.

 

Tob, I love all those twists and turns of the language. Guess it was the reason behind me becoming an English major. The roots of civilization, whether it is Egyptian or Greek/Roman always drew my attention. Then I branched out to Norse mythology and the myths from England, Scotland, and Ireland are incredible reads as well.
