The benevolent Odin? And poor Loki

I don’t know much about Norse mythology. It is said that the basic world view is based on the legends of Norse mythology, but with slight changes, works based on mythology often lack logic in plots, but Thor is not, but its problem lies in another There is a problem of inaccurate logic.

The whole film has a slow rhythm, excellent special effects, compact plot, full characterization, the upright and kind Thor, greedy, ambitious, cruel and treacherous, but self-contradictory poor Loki, a female scientist with a research spirit, and The guardian who can see everything and so on.

I believe that everyone can understand the plot, and I will mainly share my personal opinions here.

First of all, I think the character that everyone is most concerned about is not Thor, but the contradictory and intriguing Rocky. Indeed, this character Dou Sen has rendered it superbly, even surpassing the character of his own character. Before he knew that he was a race of ice giants, Loki's mentality could be considered loyal to his country, and he was also scheming and calm. He was full of love and jealousy for his brother Saul. He was deep. He loved his father and the people of the entire country; but after he discovered the truth, he began to accuse Odin's stupid behavior, and he began to go to extremes, under this extreme, there is a perverted love, magnified ambition, greed and treacherous, Of course, what was magnified more was the jealousy of his brother and the hatred for everything around him, but he did not choose to retaliate against Odin and return to his own race. Instead, he gained Odin’s trust by seducing his fellow clan and killing them. He succeeded to the throne, but was debunked. He had nowhere to retreat at this time. After he was defeated in a duel with Thor, he chose to be swallowed by the black hole.

Secondly, many people think Odin is stupid, let's analyze it. Whether Odin has ruling wisdom or stupidity, the director is very vague about Odin’s personality, which is also the failure of the film. He never bullies other races. His battle is always to protect the peace of various countries. He has this Ability, he is the father of the gods. He knows that the Frost Kingdom has no chance to provoke wars, and benevolence is the kingly way to dominate peace; some people think that Thor’s philosophy of life is the kingly way to prevail, which makes people suffer a little bit. People are afraid. But the director wants to tell us that it may be useful for managing a team or a country, but if you want to be the master of everything, benevolent authority is the truly convincing way to dominate. But there is a slot here that Loki knows except for the other passage of the Rainbow Bridge, wouldn't the Guardian and Odin know it? This actually weakened the director's own benevolent way to win, weakened Odin's dominance, and contradicted himself. Let’s talk about Odin’s benevolence in human nature. This is obviously a kind of stupidity. It’s obviously a mistake to bring Loki back. This is not what a king should do. Therefore, at this time, I can understand that Odin treats everything. Blind benevolence, not a kind of benevolence and wisdom, may not be the original intention of the director, but the creation of a vague character image weakens the point of view that he wants to express, and this will lead to a more serious misguided worldview. Thor At the end of the film, the director described him as becoming more mature and wiser, and he said that he was not as good as his father. This immediately aroused the question of smart audiences: Where is Odin's wisdom? Perhaps compared to this kind of blind benevolence, Thor's simple way of being reckless in the beginning is better than the simple way of life. But we don't know whether it is blind or not. At least the director's mishandling makes the audience feel that Odin has the possibility of blind benevolence. There is no other visual means to distinguish whether Odin's kindness treats different things equally or differently.

Here we can understand that the director wanted to portray a benevolent and intelligent Odin, but the film failed to turn it into a fuzzy persona that may have blind benevolent emotions.

Loki's tragedy was largely wrong with Odin, but his own character and attitude are the weights that determine his ultimate fate. Loki's own treacherous and greedy also contributed to the acceleration and formation of his tragedy.

In short, to summarize the person Loki: Poor Loki created a tragedy that cannot be pitiful, which is really pitiful.

Give four stars, three of them are for Dousen's interpretation, Samsung gives plot ideas, rhythm and special effects, and the director's failure of illogical and rigorous human design is worth three stars! Thor is really a contradiction between excitement and failure!

    The highlight is the protagonist’s muscles + the last egg, you must see the end!

    As a sensitive, suspicious, and jealous paranoid, I hate stories about this kind of stupid being the protagonist. It is really sad to be discriminated against just because the brain circuit is more tactful than others.
