Feb 6, 2014 at 18:16 comment added Gorchestopher H Regardless of the false premise, the answer to "Why couldn't Odin go to war?" is "Odin is the king, and is old and tired. He's unfit for extensive travel, prolonged combat, and other war-related activities."

Feb 5, 2014 at 21:19 comment added Valorum Agree with @steveha - The comment is intended as light-hearted flattery; "The battle went well but would have gone even better if you were at the vanguard". Odin knows full well that he's too old to fight any more battles (indeed, he's been actively considering retirement since we first met him in film one) but he acknowledges the flattery anyway.
Feb 5, 2014 at 21:09 comment added steveha You are looking for something that isn't there. The scene is simple: Thor is reporting to Odin, Thor incidentally makes a flattering comment, Odin comments on the flattery. There is no weird mysterious secret agenda here, and you can look up the idiom "butter up" to see for yourself what it means. I gave you a link in my answer.
