The Norse God of Thunder has always excited the crowds. Be it in books, graphic novels, animated series, movies or video games, Thor has always had a very solid fan base. Some enjoy the character because of his supernatural powers, some enjoy him because of his looks, and some simply enjoy reading about or watching a god take on villainous forces and defeating evildoers. After years of being a secondary character in many stories, it is time for Thor to become a front liner in whatever concerns the publicity of superhumans. From the Marvel’s Avengers cinematic universe to Ultimate Alliance and from Assassin’s Creed Valhalla to the comic books created by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby, Thor has a place in the heart of every person wanting to be entertained by superheroes.
There is more to Entertainment than just Movies and Graphic Novels
Together with other deities from various different cultures, Thor features on a number of land-based and online casino games. His persona and his abilities are a selling point for games such as Thunderstruck Wild Lighting, which follow the theme of Norse mythology. The lightning animations and the thundering sounds help make such games more fun. The bonus rounds of such casino gaming titles are an unforgettable entertainment experience. Just imagine getting the right combination on your pay line and seeing the Thunder God appear in front of you, multiplying your earnings and changing the rules of the game for the best.
Even though Thor is getting more and more popular through his appearances in video games and television features, there are times when he gets a little bit of bad publicity. The overweight version of Thor in the upcoming God of War game was one of the most popular topics on social media for almost a month. However, as the audiences started to realise what Santa Monica was really trying to do, they started liking this manly version of the Norse God. It is true that a six-pack and two muscular arms can go a lot further with the crowds, but if you want to create a gaming character that will dominate with his or her presence, then you need to look beyond the beauty and the cosmetics.
Thor’s appearance is not the only thing developers and scriptwriters have played around with. In a recent episode of the animated Series What If, Thor puts on his party animal face, acting like a teenager who does not have a care in the world. The reviews from those who watched the episode via the streaming platform of Disney Plus were mostly positive. The same has applied to every episode of the series up to now, but “What If… Thor Were an Only Child?” is probably the most enjoyable episode viewers got to watch. In entertainment features focusing on the adventures of Thor, viewers and readers normally get the impression that the Thunder God has some type of Napoleonic syndrome, but at the end of the day, it is peculiarities that make a character special and memorable.
