Thor's Appreciation Day
Oct. 11th, 2012 08:59 amLet’s take a moment to appreciate Thor’s egalitarianism. There is simply no more open-minded character in the Avengers universe:
True that it was a lesson hard-learnt for Thor - he had to become a mere mortal himself before he began to respect and value the non-Aesir. Still, one has to admire how resolutely he sticks to his new beliefs no matter how often it gets him punched or stabbed.

- He destroyed the Bifrost (and his way back to Jane) to save Jotunheim.
- He sacrificed his life to protect Puente Antiguo from Loki’s wrath (although yes, he was saving his Aesir friends there as well).
- He told Loki off for seeing himself as better than other races in Avengers; and for trying to destroy all the Jotuns in Thor.
- He tried to reach Bruce when facing the Hulk, giving him the chance to redeem himself rather than just treating him as a monster like the other Avengers.
- Similarly, he tried to stop the New York invasion by reasoning with Loki, and it wasn't until Loki spat in his face yet again that Thor joined in the fight.
