      Maybe. I'm just not a Thor person. After being exposed first to RDJ and then to him as Tony Stark, I find the rest of them to be very bland and replaceable. Chris Hemsworth is more attractive than the guy who plays Rogers (that's how invested in him I am), but I grew up on Pierce Brosnan and Bruce Willis (pre-bald) and Tom Selleck and DeForest Kelly and Leonard Nimoy, so my tastes run toward dark-hair and blue or green eyes.

      But I also don't find Thor to be a compelling character. He follows the same basic origin story as everyone else, but for whatever reason, Tony's strikes a chord that the others don't. Of course, I also made the mistake of reading the script for 'Thor: The Dark World' on the-editing-room.com BEFORE watching the movie, and I will now never be able to take it seriously.

      That being said, subsequent characterization does not help any of them but, weirdly (for them), Tony. I will never understand why 'Winter Soldier' is praised as the best CA movie, because a lot of us are over here holding a list 3 yards long about how stupid this, that, and the other is. Then again, there are a horrifying number of people who think 'WandaVision' is the greatest show ever and the most adorable pairing, so . . .

      To sum up, I'm pretty content with the characters I have now, though the random addition of Jessica Jones threw me for a loop, so . . . I don't know. My muse delights in being unpredictable, as proven by my current fic. I would never have dreamed, in any universe, I'd be writing this plot, but here I am. I knocked out almost 3k words Friday night and have doubled that and God willing, I'll get it done this week. But expected?

      One really needs to enjoy the sheer unpredictability of life.

          It's okay; I understand the pain of technology 2025. And if it helps, I did write a fic about Thor's crappy treatment of Loki, though I didn't include Odin. It's the newest individual fic on 'The Path Not Taken' series, as well as part of DIDT?.
