Notes: I don't want to give the impression that I don't like the character of Thor. Once he got over himself in the beginning of the first film, he has become a real favourite with me. Aside from perfect casting of Chris Hemsworth, I've always been interested in characters with mythological origins.  In some respect it is Thor who is often overlooked, due to the popularity of Loki (Tom's portrayal I think is mainly responsible) which is a shame. Thor tried so hard in the Avengers to reconcile with Loki, but as we know, that was just seen as sentiment.  The vid is driven by the song lyrics -  all I could visualize was Loki's skewed vision of Thor as the 'Golden Boy' so this was the approach, touching also on the progression/breakdown of their relationship.

Amazing video; loved it!

Thank you. I appreciate you letting me know

I really like this. I especially appreciate this lyric:

All it took was a killing spree
And the whole world was lying at your feet

So appropriate to Thor's role as a warrior.

Thanks. The song really seemed to work so well in many levels .

I really wanted it to be from another perspective other than his own. Really he is a product of Asgardian society where military prowess is highly prized.

I've always loved this song, someone did a Harry Potter vid to it years ago, so it's always been one of my favourites. You did a great job with this and I love how Loki and Thor's relationship is explored in it, the lyrics fit so well especially with how Loki feels like he's in Thor's shadow.

Thanks, glad you liked it and it is a lovely song.

I must admit when I heard the lyrics these two were all I could envisage and their love/hate relationship. The HP one sounds interesting too.

I love this vid. Poor Thor. He's so sweet. He geniunely believes that if he just loves Loki enough everything will be all right.

Thanks. I love the dynamic between these two but I also Thor as he has all the best intentions. Not sure Loki's latest stunt will help him maintain his loyalty to his 'brother'.

If a song inspiration hits I'd like to do a simple 'Thor is great ' vid

I'd love to see it. :)
