In many ways, however, the Marvel comics and movies remained true to the mythic Thor—he was brave, powerful, and violent. So too, he was filled with fondness for his hammer and enamored with beer. In other words, Thor maintained his status as the perfect Norse hero.
Though Thor was generally good-tempered, he could fly into awful rages that threatened to destroy everything in their paths. Thor is known as a patron god of the peasants and the lower classes. He is seen as an underdog. Like Herakles, he is not quite a god.
He was easily irritated, and when roused to anger he was apt to smash his adversaries to death with Mjolnir (Miller), the magic hammer he always kept with him. Thor was widely worshiped by Norse warriors, but he was also revered by farmers and peasants because of his capacity to create rain for the crops.
Thor is considered an Aesir god. In Germanic or Norse mythology, an Aesir god is a warrior god, which is why Thor is commonly seen in combat in his later life. Thor is from a realm of gods called Asgard and a realm of humans called Midgard. Asgard is similar to Mount Olympus in Greek mythology.

He is portrayed as a ruthless and sadistic deity with little to no empathy or compassion for those who suffer as a result of his actions. Manipulation of other gods: In the God of War series, Odin manipulates other gods, including his children, to further his agenda.
It should come as no surprise that, in a one-on-one battle of Zeus vs Thor, Zeus would easily triumph.
Several myths describe Thor's huge appetite. He once ate an entire ox along with eight salmon and washed it all down with three barrels of mead (an alcoholic honey drink). Another myth tells of a drinking contest in which Thor attempted to drink the sea dry.
According to Norse mythology, Thor dies in an epic battle with a monstrous serpent named Jörmungandr, also known as the Midgard (middle earth) Serpent. Both opponents meet their death in this battle, which is a part of the ultimate destruction of the current world, known as Ragnarök.
The God of Thunder is normally one of the most beloved heroes in the Marvel universe, the protector of Earth and scourge of evil. At one time, however, he became a fearful force of destruction that trampled everything in his path, including his friends and allies.
Thor is repeatedly vanquished by the 5 new Phoenix hosts over the course of 12 issues: Colossus, Namor, Cyclops, Magik, and Emma Frost. Colossus even manages to knock Mjolnir out of Thor's hands at one point, demonstrating the strength of Phoenix and why it should not be trifled with.
Thorr Odinson is a villain from the Avengers and is an evil alternate reality version of Thor Odinson as well as a member of the Tyrant Avengers.

Waititi set the record straight in a recent interview, explaining that his inspiration came from a viral 2013 Youtube remix video, "I Knew You Were Trouble (Screaming Goats' Version)," featuring a goat screaming over the chorus of the Taylor Swift song.
Thor is Immortal, Not Invincible
In Avengers: Infinity War, Thor revealed that he was over 1500 years old. It's clear that age doesn't affect him the way it does normal mortals, as with most immortals, he is aging at a slower rate. While Thor will eventually die, it will take thousands of years for it to happen.

Odin's self-sacrifice
