vampire thor vampire thor...
this is a more meta and kind of critical take, but i feel like thor (the character) is quite uncanny sometimes.
like, there's the vampire thing of cold, uncanny, inhuman beauty - and how we're expected to believe that thor's shrinkwrapped abs are his everyday appearance, when that basically isn't biologically possible, and would probably be indicative of a severe eating disorder even if it was.
and then there's also the fact that thor commits so many extreme acts of violence, but we never get to see the blood and gore. his weapon is a HAMMER. he is smashing open people's SKULLS. where is the blood, the brains, the fragmented bone? how are his hands so unnaturally clean?
and then there's his near invulnerability. his plot armour, his cursed immortality, his unshakeable ability to survive, even as the sole survivor. he should be dead many times over by now. and yet. and yet.
