Current Events > Did any of you like Thor before the movies?

(+) Yeah! (+)

Or were they your main introduction to the character?
---

Nah he was pretty bland. Same with Iron Man and Cap
---

Life long comic fan., always liked Thor. My older brother use to draw Marvel and DC heroes and villains which got me into it.
---

Not too much. I did like Iron Man from one of his earlier animated series. Was kinda surprised that he apparently wasn't too well known
---

I don't think I've even heard of the Marvel version of Thor until the end of Spider-man 2 Enter Electro where he made that cameo in the newspaper.

I did play both Marvel Ultimate Alliance games before his movies came out. As well as watched Earth's Mightiest Heroes.
---

I knew about Thor from the mythology but since I didn't read much comics, the movies were my main introduction on Marvel's take of Thor and I do like him.

Im sure he is very different in the comics though.
---

He was OK. I really only knew him from the Incredable Hulk move and Adventures in Babysitting.
---

Didn't know anything about comic Thor. Always found Norse myth Thor interesting though.

Hmm, I don't remember that.

the only current avenger (aside from spiderman) that I really cared about before the MCU was Hulk, tbh

And what do you think of MCU Hulk?
---

he seems watered down and I'm not too big on Ruffalo. But his cgi looks good? Lol I liked him ragnarok the most
---

I never really cared for Thor until Ragnarok.
---

Always liked Thor and Iron Man. Was indifferent on Cap and Hulk.
---

I didn't and still really don't

I don't follow Marvel outside of the movies, so they're my only exposure to the character. I still haven't seen the third Thor movie.
---

Nope. I'll go a step further, he was lame until Ragnarok.
---

yes
---

Of the big three, the only one I really cared about before the movies was Cap

bump
---

Hell naw. His interview in KCHAT in vice city was really boring.
---

When I was a kid, I had a few Marvel comics that had Thor in them. One of them was in Asgard and I believe involved Hulk as well, but that was a long time ago and I don't have any of those old comics any more.
---

Thor was the movie I was hyped the most about, aside from The Avengers.
---

Yep. Thor's...actually much better in the comics tbh.
---

Always a Thor fan. One of my favorite little things in adventures in babysitting.
---

I did, probably why I didn't really care for the movies.

No. They were boring.

It is crazy that Vincent D'Onofrio only shot that movie a short time after Full Metal Jacket and was able to not only lose all that weight but get jacked as well.

Not the 3rd one.

The third one was stupid. Crappy forced out of character humor. Literally every character was a Flanders. The only thing good about that movie was sexy milf Cate Blanchett
---

The 3rd one was the best mcu movie of 2017
---

lmaaaooo hell no

thor and his mythos was so lame. so stupid.
---

comic Thor is objectively garbage until unworthy Thor

which happened after Thor 1 & 2

so yes no one actually liked Thor until after his movies

Thor is great in the comics.

The hard thing about his early comics is Donald Blake, which is why the 80's is peak Thor.

My Dad had a whole collection so I read through it all growing up.

You two are objectively wrong.
---

I never read any comics, but I thought the idea of Thor and the rest of Norse mythology being part of Marvel was neat. I guess I was ultimately indifferent to Thor himself as a character until the MCU.
---

I never read comics so not really. My dad on the other hand always said the one comic book movie he wanted to happen for years was Thor. Said it was his favourite super hero growing up. He liked the movies but didn't like the fact that he had a beard.

Everyone should read Walt Simonsons stint as writer and artist for Thor. If anything for the epic introduction to Beta Ray Bill.

Yeah, it's definitely the high point of Thor in my mind.

yeah the highpoint of Thor is getting carried by the superior character, beta Ray Bill :^)

I like the actor, thor as a character is super boring to me in the same way superman is super boring to me.

That certainly was what caught my attention to Thor #337. But his whole run on Thor was solid all the way through. And a lot of the old Lee/Kirby was good too. Simonson did so well, it's been hard for me to really stick with Thor after he was done. He really set the bar.

My biggest dislike of Thor after Simonson was the use of a earthly anchor, Donald Blake. Was not a fan of it at all.

The next time I enjoyed Thor was Jurgens/Romita Jr when Marvel started with issue #1 back in the late 90's.
---

Not really.

Spider-Man, Gambit, Hulk and Captain America were my favorites growing up. I was one of those kids that liked villains more. Magneto, Juggernaut and Venom mostly.
---

if you mean the Marvel character: no
if you mean the god: yes
---

Yes. Read some of his comics and played Marvel Ultimate Alliance
---

Thor was what got me into comics in the first place, and he's always been my favorite character.
---

My thought on the Thor post credit for whichever one it was (Iron Man 2?) was literally "why in the world did they pick Thor?"

lol, it's a good thing they didn't ask my approval first. MCU Thor rules.
---

I knew who the character was and their background but the closest I got to experiencing any type of media was Val Hallen from the Justice Friends
