Despite the clear evidence presented proving that Thor is in fact the best Avenger, many people still believe that Thor is nothing more than a mass of muscle. While it is correct to say that he is the strongest fighter and the most powerful of the Avengers, it is also made clear that his intelligence and academic background is essentially unparalleled due to his royal Asgardian background. But what truly sets him apart from the others is his incredible capacity for empathy and his deeply held belief in the goodness of others. In this essay I will…
thor is the friend you call when you wanna do something and all your other friends think it’s boring you could be like “hey, thor, do you wanna take a knitting class with me?” and he’d say sure because he likes learning new midgardian things and he loves you and he’s canonically one of those people that likes seeing the smiles on other people’s faces when they’re doing something they really love to do
The great thing about Thor? He probably loves that shit. Intricate patterns and quite contemplation and STABBING PEOPLE THINGS. His mother ends up with delicately spun Lace Knit shawls, and Jane has at LEAST one knitted lab coat and like seventy sweaters. Cooking classes mean FOOD.
Reading circles? Thor is in like eight.
Bowling? The man throws things for a living. He can and will cheer you on. If there’s beer? Double down on that Asgardian good cheer. Painting? He’s probably Steves ‘painting in the park’ buddy because Jane likes the park for reading new theories or ranting at Tony about gobledygook quantum physics. Thor is the ultimate social butterfly, and once you show him the Cool Thing you like to do? He insists on learning it, if only so you have someone marginally knowlegable to geek out with. He’s also the ine that you can count on for two AM tuna fish sandwiches and philosophy.
