Yes, we have thus far based all of our Thunder god knowledge on Avengers Assemble, in which the Norse deity turned saviour of the world is played by sex-on-legs Chris Hemsworth (below: and no, that was his brother who almost married Miley Cyrus). Of course, way before this incarnation was the actual 11th-century son of Odin, relentless slaughterer of foes, battler of serpents and the man we can thank for our favourite day of the week — Thursday. But back in the 2D world of capers, there’s been a shock plot development, which has made us even more enamoured with the hot-tempered warrior god and desperate to stay up past our bedtime reading the next instalment by torchlight — Thor has been recast as a totally fierce woman. We’d hate to do a Daily Mail and dwell too long on this powerful lady’s choice of outfit, but in that titanium breastplate and leather sarong, she’s part Madonna at the MTV awards, part Xena Warrior Princess and, strike us down with a lightning bolt, she’s smokin’.
