Topic	Why does Iron Man call Thor a demigod in The Avengers?

The point being that Loki identifies himself as a god. Damn, good point. It sucks that Loki is such an honest and stand up guy that we have to accept his statements as facts. Well, the more relevant point is that he is adopted and thus not biologically a god at all. Not to take anything away from adoptees, but in this case it's actually relevant. Not relevant in Norse Mythology actually. Most gods are of mixed parentage and still described the same. Thor is 3/4 Jotunn, and Odin is 1/2. Being a god in Norse mythology, is not the same as being an Aesir. What does that have to do with Loki, though? He's not biologically related to Thor or Odin. If "Loki isn't Aesir so he isn't a god" is the argument, then virtually nobody counts. Freyja isn't Aesir, neither is Tyr (by most accounts anyhow), Hel, and so on. Buri, Odin's grandpa literally came from salt being locked by a giant cow. --- "Just because someone is killed doesn't mean they died" - Shojikan <cite>The_Ivory_Man posted [p:925944318] in Why does I...
