Is there any relevance to Thor getting his hair cut other than comedic value?

Is there any relevance to Thor getting his hair cut other than comedic value? It was a funny scene and leads to a small joke in Avengers: Infinity War but since there is no 'Samson' like effect is there some symbolism or comic reference I'm missing?

    It's a crucial step in breaking him down. He loses his father, his hammer, his freedom, and then his hair. By the end of the movie, he will also lose his eye, his sister, and his home.

    @PaulD.Waite I get your point but he doesn't draw power from his hair and throughout the film becomes stronger and learns how to use the Lightning, also he seems more effected by the death of Heimdall than Odin etc

    Hair has symbology way beyond reason for many, many people. Just ask some dudes to shave the neck beard they've been cultivating for years. I was once with a group of friends when a fictional character had her waist-length hair abruptly chopped to shoulder length. Two of the women in our group reacted with more horror than if the character had suddenly lost both arms. So, Paul D Waite's "breaking him down" theory has substance.

Apparently it was just because Chris didn't like wearing the wig anymore and it just took too long to get right as Eric Pearson has said in the below interview:




"When I arrived, there were certain things they had already decided," Pearson told CBR. "'We’re going to break the hammer.. Another one was, 'We’re going to cut the hair.' I said, 'Why?' 'Hemsworth doesn’t want to wear the wig. It takes a lot of time to get it right.'"

Over the course of Ragnarok, Thor is stripped of almost all the accoutrements we associate with Thor. He loses his father, his hammer, many of his friends, half of his cape, his freedom, and then his hair.



(While his hair is perhaps not the most significant Thor-ish thing about him, it is noticed. As you mentioned, in Infinity War, Steve Rogers, upon seeing Thor arrive on earth with an enormous battle-axe, a sentient tree, a gun-toting racoon, and a missing eye, seems to notice his haircut first.)



By the end of Ragnarok, he has also lost his eye, his sister, and his home. He learns that this doesn't matter — all that matters is him, and the people he serves and protects. Once he's learned that, he's finally ready to become King of Asgard, as he does at the end of the movie.



Miek's alive, the credits roll, and everyone lives happily ever, yes they do, no, shut up, they go to earth, everything works out fine.

    @Seamusthedog Two different levels of humility. The first was to not be prideful that he's better than or worthy of ordering others around. The second was to become truly humble, a servant of his people. After the first stage he's definitely more humble, to the point he can be a team player. After the second he's truly humble, to the point he can be a true leader.

Over the course of Ragnarok, Thor is stripped of almost all the accoutrements we associate with Thor. He loses his father, his hammer, many of his friends, half of his cape, his freedom, and then his hair.



(While his hair is perhaps not the most significant Thor-ish thing about him, it is noticed. As you mentioned, in Infinity War, Steve Rogers, upon seeing Thor arrive on earth with an enormous battle-axe, a sentient tree, a gun-toting racoon, and a missing eye, seems to notice his haircut first.)



By the end of Ragnarok, he has also lost his eye, his sister, and his home. He learns that this doesn't matter — all that matters is him, and the people he serves and protects. Once he's learned that, he's finally ready to become King of Asgard, as he does at the end of the movie.

How to label and detect the document text images

Image
1 $begingroup$ This is what I mean as document text image: I want to label the texts in image as separate blocks and my model should detect these labels as classes. NOTE: This is how the end result should be like: The labels like Block 1, Block 2, Block 3,.. should be Logo, Title, Date,.. Others, etc. Work done: First approach : I tried to implement this method via Object Detection, it didn't work. It didn't even detect any text. Second approach : Then I tried it using PixelLink. As this model is build for scene text detection, it detected each and every text in the image. But this method can detect multiple lines of text if the threshold values are increased. But I have no idea how do I add labels to the text blocks. PIXEL_CLS_WEIGHT_all_ones = 'PIXEL_CLS_WEIGHT_all_ones' PIXEL_C...

Tabula Rosettana

Image
Tabula multilinguis Rosettana in Museo Britannico ostenditur. Tabula Rosettana, [1] etiam titulo OGIS 90 agnita, est stela decreto de rebus sacris in Aegypto anno 196 a.C.n. lato inscripta. Tabula iuxta Rosettam Aegypti, urbem in delta Nili et ad oram maris Mediterranei iacentem, anno 1799 a milite Francico reperta est. Inventio stelae, linguis duabus scripturisque tribus inscriptae, eruditis Instituti Aegypti statim nuntiata est; ibi enim iussu imperatoris Napoleonis eruditi omnium scientiarum (sub aegide Commissionis Scientiarum et Artium) properaverant cum expeditione Francica. Qua a Britannis mox debellata, tabula Rosettana Londinium missa hodie apud Museum Britannicum iacet. Textus Graecus cito lectus interpretationi textuum Aegyptiorum (in formis hieroglyphica et demotica expressorum) gradatim adiuvit. Denique textum plene interpretatus est Ioannes Franciscus Champollion. Ab opere eruditorum cumulativo coepit hodiernus scripturae hieroglyphicae linguaeque Aegyptiae a...
