The Eternal Road to Asgard or the Eternal Road to a Hot Body?

Are Thor and the lovely lady standing on the Eternal Road to Asgard or the Eternal Road to a rocking bod?  Well regardless of their mission at this point, one thing stands clear- they are the main focus; not the fact that they are now on the Rainbow Bridge, the Eternal Road to Asgard. The way the panel was drawn focuses on the two masculine figures, they are our center of attention. Even with the curvy Rainbow Bridge in the background, that make us “feel more secure or comforted” (Bang, 70), our attention is still drawn on the two flawless characters. Their bodies are built vertically, which, according to Molly Bang, “are more exciting and more active. Vertical shapes rebel against the earth’s gravity. They imply energy and a reaching toward the heights or the heavens.” (44) And this is exactly what is happening in the panel. Thor and the lovely lady are literally defying earth’s gravity and this is why we feel drawn to them, but honestly is that the only reason why we’re drawn to them? Of course not! Just look at Thor’s vast muscles, even hidden under a cape still attract attention to the viewer. Thor is also flanked by his beautiful counter part, who is a perfect, unrealistic mix of both femininity and masculinity.

And that right there is the answer to the question, they’re obviously on the Eternal Road to Asgard. Not because they’re standing on the Rainbow Bridge, because they already have a rocking bod and why would you be on the Eternal Road to a rocking body if you already have one?
