"Oh, Blake, I could learn to like this world of yours. It's not that different, really. Of course you let criminals run loose and no one has the courage to do anything about it. But people can learn to stop being insects, by Odin."

Introduction

The original live action adaptation of Marvel’s God of Thunder that debuted during the TV movie, The Incredible Hulk Returns, also marking the first ever instance of two different Marvel heroes ever sharing the screen together. Besides acting as a guest star, his appearance in the film was meant to also serve as a backdoor pilot for a potential solo series starring Thor which, despite the tremendous rating success of the film, never came to be.

This version of Thor had been banished from Valhalla by Odin, who trapped his soul through the ages in their mighty hammer, Mjölnir, and sealing it within a cave until one day a modern descendent, Dr. Donald Blake, had been compelled to find it, discovering he could summon the Thunder God at will. Odinson must now reluctantly serve Blake and perform deeds of heroism on Earth until he is deemed worthy to return to Valhalla by his father. During their journey, Blake would reconnect with his old colleague and friend, Dr. David Banner, only to unexpectedly find himself in need of Thor's assistance when it turns out that David has an unlikely new friend of his own...

Asgardian warriors and mystics who may be interested:

Niiice! Great work.

Thor Vs, Strange? Lol.

@andromeda1001 said:

lol, maybe. He could also be good matches for some street MCU characters too.

Have you seen this movie too, btw?

@wastelandman said:

Good, lol.

A long time ago, but yes.

Figures, I was going to recommend it to you if you hadn't already because it definitely seemed like you'd enjoy it if you like the 70s Strange film. I watched the show but not the movies. I was rewatching the show anyway so I figured I watch the films too especially since Thor was in one.

Honestly, I unironically like this characterization of Thor way more than the MCU version. It's like a perfect balance between serious and humor. I wasn't expecting that at all because the costume was so cringe lol.

AHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!

@rajjarsalt:

Doth he be worthy of the name Odinson? I was curious of a genuine Asgardian's approval.
