Yes, of course--and as FJtorres said, indeed, Thor was often duped by Loki, but in Ragnarok, I just felt he was passively being duped, not actively by Loki. You'll see if you watch it.
And I personally prefer the old myths. I do have to admit to having had a mad little-girl crush on Marvel's Thor when I was about 8y.o., though! :-) He'd been introduced the year before, and yup, I was crazy for Thor. Ha! (I had to sneak comics into the house; my mother felt that they were dreck, and that we should be reading real books.)
