I have no idea why I dreamed this

But I dreamed I came across the secret original run of Marvel comics about Thor, the issues where Lee, Lieber and Kirby had him act just as one would expect from the Norse legends. The other Avengers spent a lot of their time being appalled.

I've always thought Thor would be a manic-depressive.

Wasp: AVENGERS ASSEMBLE!

Thor (on a bad day): What be the point of thy assembly? What is this quintessence of dust?

Of course, in this hypothetical series, Thor should also speak with a Swedish accent.

Real? Or Mock Swedish, like the Muppet's Swedish Chef?

Well, yes, but I don't know how to write a Swedish (or Danish or Norwegian or Old Germanic) accent.

Oh, we can always go with:

"Vhet be-a zee pueent ooff thy essembly? Vhet is thees qooeentessence-a ooff doost?"

(courtesy of the "Encheferizer")

Sure, it's not accurate Swedish, but it's good enough for Marvel!
