"Thor 3: Ragnarok" is a superhero movie released by Marvel Pictures in November 2017. After watching the "Thor" trilogy, we might as well analyze and interpret it from the perspective of civilized seasons. These three Marvel superhero movies.
The series is adapted from Nordic mythology; as we all know, the Nordic people have always been representatives of abundant virtues, and the abundant virtues have shaped the Nordic nation; correspondingly, the Nordic Asgardian gods also showed quite ample virtue. In Norse mythology, gods can also die, and the souls of those brave warriors who died in battle can ascend to Valhalla, which is also the original source of virtue of the Nordic people.
In the Thor series, we can compare Asgard to Rome.
In Thor 2: The Dark World, it was mentioned that Odin’s father Boll led the Asa Protoss to defeat the dark elves and snatched the ether from Malkis. At this time, the Asgardian civilization was in the spring. The season of civilization accumulation. During this time Asgard and Rome are very similar.
In the spring of civilization, civilization is still young at this time. There is no huge and complicated bureaucratic system; the feudal system is implemented, and everyone knows where he is; the order is in order, and the people are martial arts.
After Odin decided to be an "enlightened" monarch, Asgard entered the summer.
Civilization at this time began to form a bureaucratic system, but the state apparatus gradually developed and expanded; Asgard’s virtues were declining, and the feralization became more and more serious. At this time, the barbarians represented by the dark elves directly threatened Asgard.
In Thor 3, Loki exiled Odin, became king, and became a tyrant; this represented the complete collapse of Asgard's legal system and severe damage to the feudal system. Loki belongs to a typical traveller, not a local tyrant like his brother Thor, who is a social constriction. On the contrary, he belongs to the deconstructor of the social order and the person who eventually caused the flood.
During Loki's administration, Asgard froze at an alarming rate. The Ferramids raised their heads. The public was addicted to "bread and competition", begging for the welfare of the growing bureaucratic class. They can no longer remember the glory of their ancestors. Developed rationality makes them abandon morality, and society is atomized; everyone who is addicted to pleasure and slavery is equal. There is no struggle, because struggle is painful for them; without hope, they have nothing left. They quickly changed from a cultural nation to a Feila nation.
When the accumulation is squandered, it is Winter. The society is completely deserted, and people are enemies to each other and enter the Hobbes state; they can no longer form a new community, but enter into complete chaos.
As Odin's first child, Hela is eligible to inherit the throne. She returned to Asgard to fight for the throne, in order to prevent Asgard's felaification. She herself has plenty of martial virtues, and plans to return to Asgard to import martial virtues, so that Asgard will regain his martial virtues.
But it's not that simple. Under Loki's devastation, Asgard's Feila has become so severe that it is hopeless. At this time Thor realized that the people are Asgard.
He asked Loki to release Surtur, and then caused a great flood, the sky fire burned the city, and completely destroyed Asgard under Depi. At this time, the Asgardian civilization was dead, and Thor took the remaining Asgardians and ran to the earth. They inherited the fragments of Asgard civilization, formed a new community, and became a new civilization.
In the "Thor" trilogy, the birth, old age, sickness and death of Asgard as a civilization are perfectly presented, which is in line with Spengler's theory of the seasons of civilization.
For those who are willing to go, fate will lead him away; for those who are unwilling, fate will drag him away.
——Oswald Spengler, "The Decline of the West"
