More than most films in the Marvel cinematic universe,
Thor straddles the line between science fiction and fantasy.
With movies like Iron Man and Captain
America, and characters like the Hulk, science has always kept the
films tethered to the real world. Thor, and especially the
latest installment, Thor: The Dark World, allows for a
certain broadening of horizons, bringing in magic and mythology, while still
keeping a distinct sci-fi edge.
