A heavenly hunk banished from his home lands on earth. He comes across a scientist babe.He's shirtless, She's cute. He likes her, she likes him , they fall in love and live happily separated for the greater good of something that is beyond my comprehension.Just to make things a little more spectacular , random fight sequences are staged with a fire breathing "arch enemy" who might be more at home in an iron man movie.
Throughout this rigmarole there was this nagging question:Why in gods name did a Norse god land up in new Mexico after being banished from Asgard ? why not Chennai marina beach? Do gods , these days, impressed by "yes we can" send/banish their children to chase the American dream? (the south Indian version can have Thor carrying some qty. of Bengal gram, rice and mango pickle from Asgard).Anyway,I sat there pondering over this while this guy was jumping about, fighting. Is it because of babes in bikinis? or is it Salma Hayek? Natalie Portman? Megan Fox? inexplicable stuff, this.
Also, while watching Thor, I learnt that Norse mythology is magnanimous.It is very accommodating and embraces everyone. There was a Chinese guy, a negro and a hot brunette among Thor's "Norse" friends.Maybe, In a few years time, the rising Indian strength in the US would show up and Hollywood would have to make way for a few Indians along with the random Chinese and Negros and Latinos that these epic movies need to have; just to represent.
So,Given that most of Hollywood's worldly and otherworldly events are going to take place in America, In the coming years, I expect Charlie's angels to feature a "Laxmi" along with Lucy.The avengers and the justice league may include an Indian warrior princess in their force and Asgard for some weird reason will have Thor, a negro dude ,a Chinese chum and an Indian dost. To top it all Batman may learn kalaripayattu under some appukuttan in the backwaters of Kerala in the next series.

On the other side, val mickey might script a Ramayana set in Rhode island with scarlet as Sita . Karthik cross with his father Shiva over the "other banana", might land up in Kansas on a Harley Davidson.He might find his girl Vallie (portrayed by Portman) here and fall in love. Mahabharata might have bar fights set to Hans Zimmer.Even If all the adrenalin runs out of our system, we might still get Rom-coms with Ryan Gosling or Gerald Butler romancing Rumbaa or Tilotaaama.
