[QUOTE="Ruin Explorer, post: 7972437, member: 18"] It's really undermined by the entire plot and presentation of Steading of the Hill Giant King though. I get the terrifying super-ogre thing, but in Steading they're basically presented as Saxons. And you're coming to them to dish out some murder. Not even slightly. Killing an enemy in battle, without finding a peaceful solution does make you a "murderhobo". It makes you a warrior. What he didn't do was then, find that guy's village, burn it down, and killing the younglings. Being an rootless, placeless individual who wanders the world, killing people and taking their stuff, makes you a "murderhobo". Thor's membership of the Pantheon of Asgard alone bans you from using that term. Also killing someone you've mocked and said isn't a threat doesn't make you a "murderhobo", because just about every hero in mythology pulls that stunt sooner or later. And there's no indication Thor kills people to "take their stuff", which is at heart of murderhoboing. And like starting wars makes you a "murderhobo"? Like so every king in history, pretty much, was a "murderhobo". You've just debased the term "murderhobo". I didn't think that could be done. That is astonishing achievement! 🥇🏆🏅 [/QUOTE]
