[QUOTE="FoxWander, post: 5561781, member: 1356"] Yes, I'm well aware that the point of the movie was to give him some wisdom and humility so he would be... [SIZE="5"]WORTHY OF THE POWERS OF THOR[/SIZE] ;) But even after he got the hammer back, he still seemed like just a super-powered badass, just not so much a fratboy anymore. What I'm "complaining" (I put that in quotes because it's only a small complaint- I really did like the movie!) about is not that Thor isn't a hero- by the end of the movie he unquestionably is the noble, hero character he's suppose to be- I'm saying the [i]movie[/i] didn't have many dramatic, hero-moments that make you want to stand up and cheer. Mostly that's the fault of the people who made/wrote the movie, but it's also a problem of the character Thor himself. He's too powerful to make us think that he might fail, or even get hurt! So how can he really have a moment when he overcomes incredible odds, or staggers to his feet after getting his @$$ kick because he refuses to quit(!), or defeats the big bad in a [URL="http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome?from=Main.CrowningMomentOfAwesome"]crowning moment of awesome[/URL]* because he's a [URL="http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/BigDamnHeroes"]big damn hero[/URL]!!! *Note that almost all the CMOA examples for Thor at tvtropes are NOT from Thor himself.
