Re: DOES it show up a lot?

Everything.

Thor is not stupid. He's not always loud. He's not a man-shaped Golden Retriever.

Thor is hot-tempered and proud and battle-loving, and he's caring and hard-working and loyal. He loves deeply and strongly and he hurts for it. He struggles to do the right thing, he doubts himself, and he questions accepted truths. In the first Thor movie, it took one scolding from Jane for him to stop breaking cups. In the second, he was forgoing celebrations after battle. Thor is forgiving, but has his limits. He's trusting, but has learned mistrust. His idea of flirting with Jane was to share his knowledge of the universe, but he still smirks when a young lady 'stumbles' into him on the Tube. Heprojects his voice in Challenge or command, but otherwise speaks at a fairly low volume. The same hands that can crush the Iron Man armor unaided, can still cradle someone's face gently. He relishes battle, but has learned to give his opponents a chance to surrender first.

Thor is complex, and most fanfic writers give him the complexity of a pair of socks. I'm not actually asking for miracles, but I do wish writers in this fandom would acknowledge that a. He's adaptable; b. He thinks; and c. He's from a different place, has a different upbringing and different priorities and different perspectives - and this is not a flaw. Thor does not need to experience a typical Earth childhood - he had his own, a thousand years ago, and he's an adult now. Thor doesn't need a condescending explanation of who Harry Potter is - he has real wizards to worry about. Thor doesn't need to be taught to use an indoor voice, because his mother already taught him that.
