Yeah, I guess I've just never really been a fan of the Big Strong Not-So-Smart Guy With A Temper type. ...I like the more clever ones, lol. Kicking people onto funeral pyres, forcing people to become slaves for one stupid but understandable mistake, stealing cauldrons and being an all-around horrible house guest...yeah, sort of a douche, lol. I mean, at least Loki is a jerk and causes trouble knowingly, with the intent of being a jerk and causing trouble. With Thor, there is no premeditated asshattery, it's just how he rolls. X'D

And yeah, from what I remember, Odin does a fair amount of manipulating, doesn't he? And he is definitely a right bastard, though his blood-brothers relationship with Loki in the myths rather than the father-son dynamic we get in the movie and comics makes that particular relationship markedly different. Doesn't do much to improve the overall quality of the relationship, though. =\

Haha, aww, thanks! :] (With this prompt, it's unavoidable, lol.)
