    Is Thor Too Sexy?

    Some of the guys around here have voiced concerns about Wonder Woman's hotness. I can't help but wonder if they would voice those same concerns about a more or less analogous male superhero character. In the interest of having a bit of fun today, let's find out!

    Much like how last year Marvel Studios released Captain America: Civil War shortly after the thematically-almost-identical Batman v. Superman by their rival, DC Films, similarly this year they are, with comparably impeccable timing that screams "marketing strategy" at the top of its lungs, releasing their second Thor movie, Thor: Ragnarok, on November 3rd, in the afterglow of rival DC Films' Wonder Woman movie. Both characters are gods whose origin stories are based on revisionist versions of European mythologies. You can sense certain definite aesthetic similarities there (beyond just genre) between these two franchises, even if the actual themes may differ.

    Anyway, Thor, being a god, is often regarded, and narratively treated, as the most deliberately attractive character in the Marvel "universe". And so I posit this question to you: is Thor corrupting the youth? Is he just too hot?

    Too hot? Nah...he's just right.



    (By the way, this is Thor's third movie, and Marvel had already planned it and Cap 3's content and release date before DC even knew they were doing BvS or WW)
    "Those who produce should have, but we know that those who produce the most — that is, those who work hardest, and at the most difficult and most menial tasks, have the least."
    - Eugene V. Debs (1855-1926), five-time Socialist Party candidate for U.S. President

    No matter how much you want me to be gay or bisexual I'm not. I mean I didn't chose to be heterosexual. So unfortunately for your thread I simply can't answer your incredibly silly question.

    I want to see Thor wearing a pink outfit with kicky little shoes and a marvelous purse studded with rhinestones.

    About to ask the same question. It wasn't her hotness that was an issue, it was who she was setting hot for.

    Why would I want to support the Democratic Party by donating to its membership?
