It kind of sounds like thors jealous of Sif talking of Harry all the time

 

Before the banishment Thor was the kinda asshole that would have gotten off on being chased by a hot woman...so ya.

 

This is kinda the movieverse. So far it draws from the movies for major plot points and character traits, but there are quite a few aspects which are drawn from the comics. The Ancient One, The Nameless One, and the connection with the sorcerer supreme. I wouldn't base any of the characters solely off of the movies.

 

True, but since the base is the movieverse there are some things that are from the movie, and Sif in the movies didn't have a kid with Thor or was with him in a relationship.

 

I thought Thor and Sif got together after Jane in the comics as well.

All my knowledge comes from here though:

Err... it updated

https://www.fanfiction.net/s/8177168/33/Wand-and-Shield

 

Disappointing last 2 updates. Harry feels incompetent. The plot feels railroaded.

He had dozens of opportunity to kill Peeves or the Basilisk, but of course, waits until the last minute to do anything, and then Loki gets petrified. And then we jump to harry in prison, with zero explanation of how his wands were taken away, or if he let them be taken away.

He just feels so helpless. Harry is alternately competent and powerful-- see his fights with the Hulk, when he's helping SHIELD-- and then he suddenly loses all sense, just in time for 'plot' to happen. It feels like most of his problems are because he occasionally becomes stupid.


And I also just hate Peeves as an enemy, but that's just me.

Not sure how to feel about this fic anymore.

Edit:

And I really don't get Harry's character sometimes. He is occasionally cowed by Odin and Thor and then occasionally stands firm. He's inconsistent.

 

So let's say you have a point with that. I personally disagree, but whatever. This doesn't mean that he is easily imprisoned and disarmed. With various ways to turn invisible, apparition, confundus etc. there is no way in hell they could take Harry. He can disappear and hide like no ones business.

This actually feels like typical comicbook 'power of character varies based on the needs of plot' bullshit.

 

Well since he was taken captive and tried there was a need. He could have avoided that, but I guess he acted on his plot precognition and knew it would be alright at the end if he stayed.

 

Like Cheddar said, the only unbelievable thing about the section was Harry losing his wands. Everything else was fairly reasonable.it wasn't hard to realize that he was going to be a-okay, what with him-
A.being friends with Sif (who would obviously go out on a limb for him, what with how much she bemoaned returning to Asgard)
B. Not doing anything wrong

It just seemed like Harry didn't want to rock the boat, and so he was willing to wait it out and plead his case. It seemed less like Harry had suddenly been weakened because of 'plot', and more that he just wasn't being an asshole. I mean, he did manage to block Mjolnir when Thor swung it at him- that's pretty cool, right?

Though my one complaint on this chapter is how annoying Thor is- but that's true to his character pre-Earth.

 

He probably should have shown his actual arrest but I see no fault in how Harry handles that situation from his POV and character. What would have been the sense of a violent confrontation there? He didn't know enough about them and what then? He has no clue about Asgard and how to get back. If you forgot he needed the energy of the Basilisk to make the port key work. To Harry it's all a big misunderstanding. Well, with the exception of ruining a nice feast with a large Basilisk.

 

Odin can see magic. He'd have to be pretty freaking blind to not notice two powerful magical artefacts like Harry's wand and the Deathstick.

 

Heh, seems people resurrected this thread too while I wasn't looking.

I admit that Harry's character may be somewhat different in this chapter than before, and I'll go over it again to see where it might be changed. More than a year passed between updates, so my particular version of the character might've been flanderized a bit. The Harry in this has always been somewhat more laconic and light-hearted than his canon or usual fanon counterparts, aside from some more distressing moments, so that might have come out a bit more strongly here than intended.

Regarding the concept of breaking out of Asgard and so forth, I don't really see how that would be a reasonable action for Harry to take. There's no reasonable scenario in which he would be fighting his way out of the palace after his little entrance, nor one in which Harry would just get to keep all his toys in order to escape. He's not suicidal. Playing along until he thinks of something, or Sif helps him out, or until he gets a chance to speak his mind - that seems to me a far more reasonable path. Harry already has the advantage of representing a lost ally, so despite his misgivings he must realize he's not gonna get his head chopped off out of nowhere.

I also think that if he ever really did have desperate need of a wand, it might come as easily as Gryffindor's sword. The Elder Wand has been slipping into his fingers quite a bit already...

Thor's character was intentionally abrasive - he was quite the stuck up brat early on in his movie. With canon events basically prevented, he hasn't had a reason yet to pull that stick out of his ass.

 

The only thing I disliked and didn't understand was how long it took for Odin to call out Harry for an interrogation. I would have thought it would be done as soon as possible, perhaps after clearing out the Basilisk and having their own people look over Loki.

 

They had to let him stew; standard police tactics. Also, Asgardians are really old. Probably didn't seem like a long time to them.

 

The latter might be true, but the former I don't really agree with because as far as I understand it's not readily apparent that he has intentionally done something grievous for them to treat him like a criminal, so it would be more important to establish what actually happened as soon as possible, especially with Loki suffering from an unknown malady.

It would be more believable to me if they had a quick exchange in the hall after Odin came in with Loki's body and Harry tried to pass it off as Loki's fault or said something flippant then got sent straight to a cell, but as it is that part really stood out to me.

 

I just can't help but wonder, doesn't giving up / having the Elder Wand taken count as Harry forfeiting his right to be its master?
