I've just started to (slowly) read the Finnish translation of Eliade's The Myth of the Eternal Return. It's very much of its time--that time of the heroic anthropologist, the desire to find a common current in all cultures' mythologies and just make up some big theory that unites them all in one grand, sweeping humanist arc.

Those of you who have already seen Thor 2: did this bit actually happen in the version of the movie you saw? Because I swear to fucking God I didn't.
