I feel like they always have kept this ambiguous. In the comics, they are clearly stated to be real gods. Been thinking anoit this after I read the Gorr the God Butcher comic the other day where everyone is literally a god. And then thinking about Love and Thunder. If they aren't real gods in the mcu then Gorr's entire plan is based on a misunderstanding

If you are talking about when Thor was first thought up for Marvel....

Stan Lee said that his first thought was Greek. I can't remember if he actually said he would have used Hercules but he wanted to use a myth based super hero

But then he realized Greek mythology was way over used, even in the 60s. So he thought what else could he do, then thought about Norse

Marvel has always been pretty vague on what makes a God a God. The Celestials in Eternals would qualify as being Gods, but Thor and Loki just call themselves that because they know a few tricks to easily impress the backwater planets.

i think it was retconned that they're actual gods now.
first thor had Odin said "we are not gods!" to Thor, but Ragnarok had Odin asked Thor: "are you God of Hammer or Thunder?"

Thor is basically like Marvels Wonder Woman when it comes to mythology. Also, Loki is similar to Circe.

In the comics there is a being called The One Above All

It's the real God of the Marvel universe, but rarely shows itself.

DC has its own version of the same concept, called The Presence. They exist so that they can avoid offending any one religion by having a neutral Supreme deity

This.

Whether or not you call them gods is arbitrary.

They are clearly able to die, so if that's your standard then they are not gods. But there are numerous mythologies that have gods which can die (Norse most famously). There is no consistent universal definition of a "god".

Technically, they are. It's just that we find them weak compared to the omniscient, omnipotent Abrahamic God from Judaism, Christianity and Islam.

No. They're fictional characters in a movie, with some of them being played by actors/actresses....

Best version of Thor is Dynamite Thor.
He is immune to explosions, so he use dynamite to solve every problem, including flying.
