This is such a beautifully powerful moment. When the tyrannical Shi’ar deities Sharra & K’ythri summon a tidal wave upon their own subjects simply to prove their own superiority as gods, Thor forgoes the rules of the Challenge of the Gods in order to save the entire beach simply because it’s the right thing to do. To Jane Foster, godhood is about being humble & showing humility whilst utilizing her power to protect others whenever and wherever she can, as is demonstrated when she expresses visible discomfort when the civilians she rescued begin praying in her name.

I love how this montage during the Challenge of the Gods between Thor vs. Sharra & K’ythri overtly references & subverts some of the more grim & disturbing elements from the Biblical Old Testament, such as Abraham’s attempted sacrifice of Isaac, the Nephilim from the Book of Enoch, as well as two of the Ten Plagues of Egypt.
