btw - I got the impression Thor's "hammer" represents the male's idealized penis and his image thereof. Men place their sexual identity in their 'hammer power' and if they didn't/don't have an amazing "Hammer" they are somehow 'less-than'.
Wonder what Freud would think about my impression?
“… the greatest detractor from high performance is fear: fear that you are not prepared, fear that you are in over your head, fear that you are not worthy, and ultimately, fear of failure. If you can eliminate that fear—not through arrogance or just wishing difficulties away, but through hard work and preparation—you will put yourself in an incredibly powerful position to take on the challenges you face" - Pete Carroll.
