Oh dear, I read The Iliad and Till We Have Faces in High School. Unless you know someone who is having serious issues with Thor worship, I wouldn't worry about it---read a bit of CS Lewis on mythology sometime.

To be fair, in the movie it is shown that they are not really gods, but just a race of scientifically advanced people (although if memory serves, that was not the case in the comics).
A movie (or book) about mythology is not wrong in itself. What would keep me from watching such a movie is much the same as any other movie: What world view is it trying to protray? Is nakedness uncovered? Is sin elevated as good? Will watching it place worthless things before my eyes? and so on.

I disagree. There are some forms of entertainment that would clearly cause one to sin by viewing it.

Well many films contain the same elements that make p0rnography sinful. Just because a film isn't explicitly categorized as "p0rnography" doesn't mean there aren't things in it we shan't place before our eyes.

in addition I can think of a TV show that regularly (or at least it used to) features scenes of what is supposed to be our Lord in some of the most blasphemous situations one can think of. I don't see how rank blasphemy can be viewed without searing a Christian's conscience.

Like family guy. I was turning the channels and found that they where making fun of Jesus by calling him a pedophile. that is blasphamous.
