fatcr0w:Alright assholes hold on to your knickers, it’s time to talk about FURY. Now you say, “Crow, why the sHIT you got old whitey up there next to our surpreme ruler?”And here is where you grip your panties tight lads.Nicholas J. Fury Jr, MCU, has some crazy ass parallels (or well, foils) to the Odin of Norse mythos (MCU Odin just isn’t developed enough for me to use) and it ain’t just the snazzy ass eyepatch, but it’s a damn good start…Commonality #1: THE EYEPATCH OF WISDOMNow, Both these dudes have lost an eye in an incident that the MCU doesn’t really have time to explain (or conveniently avoids). Here’s the backstory if ya didn’t know. Odin willingly gives up his eye to the god of the cosmos for more wisdom. Odin is a stone cold bastard though, Mimir probably could have asked for the still beating heart of his first born and he’d have gone [Pictured: Odin at the well of Urd, making a deal to get some dank as we…Wisdom]He does not become perfect. That’s a monotheistic bias, he is constantly on the journey for more and if there’s a way to get more wisdom, magic, or power he will take it. oN THE OTHER HAND, Nick Fury’s eye was forcibly injured because he made a naive move “Last time I trusted someone, I lost an eye.”After that incident however, Nick makes sure to “keep both eyes open” in everything he does, so that he has the big picture in mind. This man goes from competent operative to the type of man who has contingency plans for his contingency plan’s contingency plan. Like, the whole Logistics division portion of SHIELD does not run itself, this man somehow has the ability to mobilize entire fleets of covert ops helicarriers with a flick of his billowing coat. This man is the goddamn Amazon Prime of getting superheros to the robots right on punching time.[Pictured: Nick Fury delivering shit right on time]This man is wise, not because he threw his eye into the well of the cosmos, but because he learned from whatever took it by force. Coulson said it best: “His communication skills, flawed, but he could always see five steps ahead”[Pictured: Nick Fury actually thinking 8 steps ahead]Commonality #2: TRUST ISSUES“Dad why the fuck didn’t you tell me I was adopted”- Loki, pissed, after almost blowing up Midgard or something“Lol I forgot,” Odin, probably, while texting.“There are a lot of things you don’t know about me.”“I know, Nick. That’s the problem.”  - Steve to Nick, with the saddest puppy dog face ever. [Pictured: Steve’s face literally any time he talks to Nick and subsequently feels bamboozled]In actual Norse mythos, Loki isn’t adopted at all, but a reflection of Odin’s trickster side, right down to the shift of gender identity (look, that’s how they felt about it way back then). Both Odin and Loki adopted feminine traits to become closer to magic. This is extremely important because while Odin is a fearsome warrior, he is also a conniving trickster. While he is strong in battle, he is also strong in magic, he’s a shaman and literally only speaks in poetry. Both of his sons are reflections of him , but in diametric ways. This means that it’s really fucking stupid to trust Odin. Also unlike MCU Odin , Odin liked fucking shit up for the sake of fucking shit up. Hmm, wonder where his sons got that from.[Pictured: Actors portraying Odin’s definitely directly related asshole children]On the other hand, Nick is actually really trustworthy. He’s got one goal, do what’s right to save the most lives. He is really great however, at withholding the steps in that plan to save the most lives. So how does it look in the end to people who catch him mid-plan? Like he’s a conniving tricky bastard who’s out to reach his own ends at any cost. Again, communication isn’t his strong suit.[Pictured: Nick Fury literally every time he tries to help and gets called an asshole for it.]Commonality #3: By Any MeansThis is the most common thing about these two dudes. They will do anything to get their goal. Now, the definition of anything is strongly rooted in their personalities. Nick’s main driving goal, again, is the protect the world from devastation (uniting the peoples within our nation is Steve’s job). Odin’s mythological goal is to have ALL the wisdom ALL the magic and ALL the power (and also to fuck shit up). [Pictured: Odin, mere moments before deciding to go fuck shit up]Luckily we puny Midgardians are cute and once had a whole sect devoted to Odin’s worship or else Odin would probably have instigated a crusade on us like with the Jötnar. [Pictured: A man who is constantly harassed by Odin’s asshole children and their friends]Nick’s goal is to keep folks like Odin, who are fully intent on fucking up all the shit from fucking up all the shit. That’s really it. He will do ANYTHING to make sure that tomorrow the sun is still rising and the world is still spinning for as many people as possible. He understands that sometimes you have to take the problem head on, but he is also aware that there’s always another way, even when the rest of the world thinks there’s only one way out.[Pictured: Fury being super done with stupid-ass decisions]This man has one eye. True. But you can count on him to be anything but myopic. You can count on him in the clutch to have a plan Z contingency Q sub contingency F alternate 3.4 ready and on hand to get the entire fucking Earth out of trouble. It involves the Harlem Globetrotters and a sentient rubber alloy. It may or may not parallel the events of Space Jam. [Pictured: Plan Y contingency G sub-contingency L alternate 2 for saving the world from Basketball-crazed space monsters. This plan has since been retired and replaced with alternate 2.1, LeBron James]Where does the man even find the time? I don’t know. IN CONCLUSION FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO MADE IT THIS FARMost of this fandom treats Nick Fury like some angry, swearing, one-eyed villain who withholds secrets and intel and only does what’s right when he feels like it. I contend that you’re actually thinking of Odin, the shifting and sinister god of war rage (literally Thor, the wargod, is more chill than Odin) whose Machiavellian tendency towards more power and influence often leads to destruction and fear. [Pictured: artist’s rendering of an actual neutral evil and if I see one more alignment chart with Fury as Neutral Evil I will tear through the theoretical bounds of physics specifically to whoop someone’s ass. Am I clear?]Nick Fury is everyone’s surly dad who’s always busy with work and who only cusses in front of the kids when he’s really upset because they went outside and almost got hit by a car. Yea, it’s scary when you’re 7 and this big dude is angry at you, but he’s also the guy who chases down the driver and gives them what for speeding through residential streets. Yea, he’s not so good at showing that he cares in a way that a kid can understand, but there’s no doubt that he really does. I think Natasha, of all the Avengers, gets that. [Pictured: An actual emotionally inarticulate dad with his squabbling kids.] (I will rewatch the entire MCU and count how many times everyone curses because I’m pretty fucking sure Fury never said anything worse than ‘stupid-ass’. Steve probably curses all the time but now that slang has changed he sounds completely innocuous.)[Pictured: A man who immediately thinks a warm cheese dip is a euphemism for sex…And now that i’ve typed it out, probably is correct]Anyhow, thanks for sticking through this with me. I just want to say, one last time, if you’re characterizing Nick Fury Jr, from the MCU as a one-track-mind evil laughing villain who thinks he’s a good guy, you have obviously been watching Kingsman and not the MCU and got your roles confused. It’s okay, I’m here to help.[Pictured: Nick Fury’s Evil doppelganger with weird mid 2000′s  Diddy fashion. Not great at seeing 5 steps ahead, maybe only 3.]HAVEN’T HAD ENOUGH? HERE ARE SOME NICE FOOTNOTES FOR YOUR VIKING TRIVIA NEEDS:Odin’s original name (Óðinn )can be translated either as “Master of Fury” or “Master of Ecstasy”. The now famous “Grandpa Loved People” story is a real story about Samuel L. Jackson’s grandfather and IF THAT AIN’T THE COOLEST SHIT I DON’T KNOW WHAT TO TELL YOU BRUH.Want some Sauce with all that cheese?More on OdinEven More on OdinMCU Nick616 Nick -- source link
