Well, without proper sales data it's hard to say. If it has a really engaging story, great characters based on Thor and an interesting take on the act of war concept, it could potentially be popular. But just having those elements doesn't guarantee best - selling status. There could be other novels in the same genre competing for readers' attention.
Sadly, without having read the 'act of war thor novel', it's difficult to describe the exact main plot. However, we can make some assumptions. Given that Thor is often associated with heroism and strength, in this novel he could be in the middle of a war between different realms or factions. He might be using his powers to protect the innocent, resolve conflicts, or face some sort of moral dilemma related to the act of war.
I'm not sure specifically as there could be many 'act of war novels' out there. But often there are soldiers as main characters, like a brave and conflicted lieutenant who has to lead his troops into battle.
In the Civil War comic, Thor is in a state of being unworthy and is not actively involved in the events. His absence is a notable aspect of the story's setup.
The short story might center around the human cost of an act of war. It could depict the lives of soldiers on the front line, their fears, and their hopes. It might also show the impact on civilians, such as families being torn apart and communities being destroyed.
One interesting aspect could be the exploration of moral and ethical dilemmas in a war situation. The characters might face tough choices between following orders and their own sense of right and wrong.
Yes. In 'Infinity War', Thor has a significant role. His journey to get a new weapon to face Thanos is crucial. Thanos, on the other hand, is the main villain driving the plot forward as he tries to collect all the Infinity Stones. Their fates are intertwined throughout the movie.
One way to 'fix' the situation in a fanfiction could be to have Loki's faked death in Thor: The Dark World be more thoroughly investigated by Thor. If Thor had been more suspicious and dug deeper, he might have uncovered Loki's real plan earlier. This could have led to them working together more effectively against Thanos in Infinity War, preventing some of the tragedies that occurred.
There's also 'Thor in the Mortal Realm' which takes Thor out of his usual Asgardian setting and into the world of mortals. This fanfiction is interesting as it makes Thor face new challenges and interact with different beings, and the author does a good job of describing the new environments and how Thor adapts to them. It really gives a fresh perspective on the character.
