But reading some forums and stuff I noticed that people doubting Thor's godly nature (and maybe his sanity, until he displays his powers) is an ultimate concept that the majority of fans accepted.
Well, people doubted his godly nature in the 616 universe too, but it wasn't taken to the extremes that the Ultimate universe took it to. You know, Thor was never actually locked up in a mental institution or anything in the 616-verse.
Most people in the 616 didn't believe he was a God either.
That occured in the mainstream universe as well, back in the day.
In the Ultimate Universe he was a male nurse who who suffered from severe depression and got locked up in a crazy house. Then one day he started saying he was Thor and suddenly had the power to back that claim up.
Then Loki showed up and started screwing with reality, making it seem like his brother really was just some crazy nurse who stole his super scientist brother's special belt and hammer.
No Bruce Banner!!! No Walter Kovacs!!! No Peter Parker!!! No Bruce Wayne!!!NO DONALD BLAKE EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
thank you that is all.
Blake is Thor's humanity given life, basically. So you do learn more about Thor by watching Blake. He's also not a weakness so long as they leave the 60-second rule off the hammer, which I think would be a good idea anyway.It's kind of different. Blake is not a secret identity ala Bruce Wayne, Peter Parker or Clark Kent. He's note even an alter ego, ala Bruce Banner. He's a totally different person, whose main purpose, IMO, is to serve as a weakness to an all-powerful god and being a down-to-earth, more relatable character for the audience. You don't learn more about Thor by watching Blake's life.
I think they can make Thor a more relatable and vulnerable character without needing to go all the Billy Batson route. So, I don't think Don Blake is necessary in this movie.
