The Battle Bar, Our Wretched Hive of Scum and Villainy

To be fair Thor isn't really that 'godlike'. He seems more like just a powerful human.

Considering Thor is living proof that gods may not necessarily be "divine", but simply magical and/or technologically superior to humans who worshipped them as gods, the point is moot.

Thor isn't a God. So his existence isn't really proof of anything regarding Gods.

Saying that Thor is living proof that Gods may not be divine is like saying that the Independence Day aliens are living proof that Gods need oxygen.

Welcome to Earth, puny god.

Just wondering, what would you guys say is the most moving moment you've experienced in gaming?

Personally mine would be playing Jade Empire, hearing all about the Water Dragon and then finally seeing it, with the sad music in the background. Brings me to tears everytime.

The end of Persona 3.

I cried like a baby. Just the emotion of it, the sheer poetry of the scene and the music and what its lyrics symbolised. Such an amazing game..... herbtouched

Mass Effect 2... Project Overlord. I almost cry.

The Galactic Kaiser bones your daughter and then turns up at your doorstep with flowers the next morning to gush about it after she runs out on him.

This anime became really weird, really fast. 🙄

It doesn't help that the guy seems more amused about it than anything.

Gotta go with Majora's Mask or Shadow of Colossus.

I was born without video-game heartstrings, so no game has ever moved me. Movies and shows, sure, but not game.

Well you think Kotor II is a bad game so that's to be expected.

Hmmmm

Dragon Age Origins had some pretty moving parts, especially if you die near the end. I feel so bad for the characters you were friends with, and if Alistair dies then I nearly cry.

Mass Effect 3, seeing some of my companions from ME2 die, that made me cry. Especially Mordin 🙁

Its even worse if you have to kill him yourself. No matter what people say about that game, that scene is ****ing gut-wrenching.

It makes me wish I hadn't chickened out of sabotaging the cure. Damn Wrex for being too awesome to betray.

I tear up a bit just from thinking of it...... 🙁

Though I never do see Grunt, Thane, or Jack in ME3. Dunno why. I beat the Suicide Mission with no deaths (like a bawss)

Let's clarify our positions here.

I've pointed out that Thor, who is the living embodiment of the supernatural/superhuman being that is directly responsible for the "Thor" of Norse mythology, is a "god" in the sense that he is beyond human and he fits the profile of a god... that he inspired. This opens the doorway to questioning faith because if supernatural/superhuman beings are out there that have before visited earth through wormholes/tech bullshit, then it stands to reason any and all "god" sightings may be attributed to living breathing beings rather than "uber awesome good-God who loves us all, except for homosexuals and Hillary Clinton".

You've said "Thor isn't a god. My assertion stands on its own two feet."

Saying that Thor is living proof that Gods may not be divine is like saying that the Independence Day aliens are living proof that Gods need oxygen.

No, that's not an appropriate analogy.

Thor represents early humans mistaking alien beings as divine. This again, opens the doorway to questioning religions. Captain America is a dyed-in-the-wool conservative Christian American, or should be. If he holds true to his faith, despite knowing both Loki and Thor, it makes him appear to be in denial or simply oblivious to the implications of their existence and history.

Aliens in ID simply get punched by Will Smith and virus'd by a Jew on a Macbook. It's not the same at all. Nice try though. I'd give you a blue star for effort, but I don't want to inspire more attempts.

It's been three minutes. I am now calling me e-victory.

I havn't actually seen Blax in a while.

You raise a good point though. I wonder if they'll remark on that in Avengers 2. Of course the answer is yes in the comics since pretty much all the gods have appeared there except, funnily enough, the Christian one.

Although I don't think that's Marvel.

Also, it's likely the indiscretion will be ignored in future movies, no doubt.

I meant like, actual comics.

(Marvel comics is what I meant. Where Thor's presence is relevent to this discussion)
