||. thor is always such a fun character for me to think about – not only because of his place in the mcu, but because of his dynamics and relationship with his brother and asgardian crew too. there's SO MUCH potential in a character like thor.
just with his past alone, there are so many stories of high-flying adventures and lessons of leadership and courage and bravery and teamwork. just with his asgardian squad, there are so many classic friendship lessons about honesty, camaraderie, loyalty, generosity, kindness, etc. as he + crew learn and grow as people....
then there's the exploration of him and his people (and his family: namely his brother and his father) as he slowly learns what it means, and what it takes to be a king, and as he figures out his own way to go about it... and the pitfalls of all of that as he DOES grow, but he also grows into the very insecure person that he is in the beginning of THOR (2011)....
thor during phases 1-3 of the mcu is absolutely so neat... but thinking about him before 2011 is just fascinating to me.

“warrior child, you carry such coldness in your veins war-torn child, you carry such loneliness in your bones war-born child, you carry such horror in your heart warrior child, you were born with legends breathing inside your name and history books waiting to trace your footsteps war-torn child, you know better than anyone how to cry in silence for things gone by and how to kill and kill without seeing their eyes war-born child, you were made to hold brawls between your knuckles and bury old friends and old memories between your ribs warrior child, I was once a warrior too I was born with bones made of gunmetal and eyes made of muzzle flares and a voice made of hissing bullets war-torn child, you and I are much the same I am older than you but not by much but not by enough you will soon be as old as I and we will both still be warrior children war-born child, you and I know too well how this story will end how this story always ends how this story must forever end warrior child, do not fear it is they who should be afraid war-torn child, fear is what beats inside your heart in the place where life used to be war-born child, there is nothing more frightening than a man who has torn his own self apart so burn your bridges, warrior child, before someone else lights them up so freeze your heart, war-torn child, before someone else leaves it cold so dig your grave, war-born child, before someone else buries you”
— and if they ask—call it peace ( j.p. )
