Blue Kitty:
--- Quote ---In Norse mythology, largely recorded in Iceland from traditional material stemming from Scandinavia, numerous tales and information about Thor are provided. In these sources, Thor bears at least fourteen names, is the husband of the golden-haired goddess Sif, is the lover of the jötunn Járnsaxa, and is generally described as fierce-eyed, red-haired and red-bearded.

Edguy:
Fair enough!
GarandMarine:
Not to sound snotty or anything here, but I like to think I know and have sources for the actual descriptions of my own deities.
Thor's red locks are the origin of the phrase "Let Red Haired thunder see to that!" which is apparently a common curse in certain parts of Scandinavia, and is common amongst some modern heathen communities as a "god dammnit" equivalent.
As to what Method said I'm not trying to confuse or muddy the waters, just making a point about canon

Well, the canon of Norse mythology isn't really relevant to the movie based of a comic book character, just sayin' :]
GarandMarine:
Sure, hitting the copy paste command on a culture's myths and an active religion's faith then changing a few, very minor details, while nit exactly creative is a valid form of creation (even Thor's role as the guardian of Midgard is a direct lift from historical sources.
Which again is my point, canon is treated like some permanent thing encased in steel never to be moved, but changes and evolves over time as new people create, visualize or otherwise generate/regenerate that character's universe.
That said it would be nice if the Christians got around to screwing with their own mythology instead of messing with everyone else's. Do you think marvel would support Jesus as a character if he was on a quest to defeat the 13 generals of Satan's army and the immortal lich King Solomon? He could totally team up with Dr. Strange
