>>100508102You've misunderstood my argument yet again, kid.
You seem to be laboring under the delusion that Thor's eyepatch disappearing means the symbolism was never there, or that the audience immediately forgot what the symbolism meant because they have the memories of goldfish.
What if I told you characters can grow and symbolism surrounding them can change as they progress through an arc? No? That's wrong too? Gosh darn, I guess there simply is no reason ever to have had Thor get rid of the eypatch. He should've just worn it until the day he died, otherwise the audience might forget what it meant.
