Which is a cooler name for the main man:
Odin or Thor?
I think Thor since it sounds more thunder god-ish, and sounds terrifyingly mighty.

Freya.
Loki.
Woden > Thor.
Alfader, Wednesday
Huh?! These are not choices!
Please? Which is better, Odin or Thor?
I'd say Odin. Thor sounds ghey... not that there's anything wrong with that, huh Psy? :joey:
Hey, Thor sounds cool! ...doesn't it?
Sure if you like to be called Nancy. :-*Quote:

Hey, but Death is totally the owner of all.....his cape....that scythe....OWNZORRR!!!1!!one
Cape?
His scythe is pretty cool, and Binky.
But TALKING LIKE THIS is pwnze.
Yeah, sometimes he wears a cape over his cloak....or even just the cape. Seen Death in FF1?
Odin.
Just sounds cooler. FF may have biased me though.
Actually, we were talking about Discworld's Death, who is a sublime character indeed.Quote:

I know a guy named Thor.
He's...well...kind of weird... :screwy:
Thor 'cause I used to have a hamster named Thor. :D
Thor, as the God of rain and thunder, was a pretty important fellow. Protecting farmers was just one of his many roles. He was also an avid smiter of giants, for which he used the same enormous hammer that he used to create thunder. Incidentally, I wear a token in the shape of Thor's Hammer, not because I truly believe I can invoke his protection, but because of my general interest in all things medieval.
Odin, however, was a significant figure. The King of the Gods is generally such. Missing one eye, but served by the Valkyries.
There are plenty of decent reference websites out there, with detailed info on the Nordic Gods.
[q=DHEvil]Which is a cooler name for the main man:

my vote goes to odin just because it sounds more 'final fantasy' like
Thor.
Thor, cuz' he has the power of thunder, and whenever I hear his name it reminds me of some cheesy 80s band.
But do you know why Odin is missing one eye? He bound himself to the world-ash tree Yggdrasil and had his eye pecked out by his two ravens in order to gain inner sight. It doesn't get much more hardcore than that, except maybe at an Earth Crisis concert.Quote:

Haha! I'm so cool. :cool:
Actually, Odin traded his other eye in at the Well of Wisdom in exchange for a vast level of knowledge and suchlike. Huginn and Muninn (Thought and Memory, the two ravens) are used by Odin to scout the world, and they fly for nine days then return to tell him what they have seen.Quote:

I like Odins name very much but I also like tThor hehe thor soumds all powerful god and he is the lightning god but Odin's a cooler name plus he has a six leeged horse which then won't complain :skull3:.x..
I have to vote Odin. One of the most badass Summons In any of the FF games and wickid cool in norse mythology to boot.
Dont tick off a god that can Kill every monster on screen. :p
..........But Bahamut still pwns him.
*runs*
Yea but mine sounds more badass. And I am fairly certain the basics of my story are "true" to the mythology as well.Quote:

I have to agree even though both storys are cool. It doees sadden me a little i love norse mythology but i actuly dont know the anser to this so your guess is as good as mine. problem is there are meny version of "the truth" in norse Mythology. Perhaps this is becouse most of it was passed down through the ages via the oral tradition.
I like Odin, just because his name sounds cool. :cool:
Odin is a lot cooler. So mystery, its crazy.
Jesus.
He did both. Tied himself to the world tree *and* gave his eye to teh well of wisdom.Quote:

No no, I'm fully aware he was strung up on Yggdrasil for nine days, and his side was pierced with a spear, the question was how he had lost his eye.Quote:

Chris. :greenie:
Odin was behind on his rent, so he sold his eye to me. I made curry with it.
Whoever is the most green.
Didn't Thor kill Balder?
Bastage.
Anubis is a way cooler name
I have no idea... but Odin killed a Malboro!!! :cool:Quote:

first of all, he's a necromancer, which is cool, then he has a long spear "Gungnir" and a sword, which believe it or not is called "Zantetsuken" according to myth (or so i have read) and he has a six legged horse "Sleipnir"...
you can tell i like Odin, he rocks!! same as Bahamut really...ony hes a dragon.
How could a NORSE god's sword in NORSE legend, have a JAPANESE name that means Steel-bladed Sword?
Try and think before you post something, honestly.
well, what i said then is bs..it's only what i was told...oh well..but he does have the other 2...:DQuote:

But if you've done any research on Norse mythology, or at least read the comics from Marvel, you'd know that Odin is, indeed, Thor's old man.Quote:

Odin. "East" spoiled whatever respect I had for Thor. Great character, but far from mighty, or god-like. So Odin it is.
