Thank you.
My describing Thor as a warrior was colored by his temper.
Yes. But Shadow appears almost the antithesis temperamentally. Another word I would use about Thor but not Shadow, is impulsive.

What make Shadow stand out IMHO is the lack of personality for a main character. He is a shadow character - but again, a sanitised Thor...?

It has been a pleasure chatting with you, Ea.
I hope to do so again.
Likewise
