In ''Film/{{Thor}}'', it's both a status and ceremonial symbol, like a crown or coronet, indicating his rank as a Prince of Asgard. In ''Film/TheAvengers2012'', it represents his ambition to seize Earth and preside over it as its God-King.

Intriguingly, his helmet in this movie is more crown-like than in the past because it doesn't cover the top or the lower part of his head, and thus it's more ornamental than his previous ones, which were more practical for battle.

This is a {{Costume Trope|s}} (and specifically, a subtrope of CoolCrown) where someone with authority wears a crown or helmet made of (or made to resemble) an animal's horns. Typically the character is a royal, though warlords are fans of this fashion statement too, creating fearsome and garish horned helmets.

This is often an in-universe InvokedTrope, with characters trying to look similar to TheMarvelousDeer, a HornedHumanoid or even a BeastMan. Just as often the horned animal in question is associated with authority or rulership by the wearer. As the page pic shows stags are often used, though bulls come a close second and basically any horned animal or mythical beast is fair game.

* In formal heraldry, the representation of the crowns belonging to Dukes and Kings carry abstract spikes which are thought to be the last survival of animal horns. (Each crown in heraldry has its own formal, rigidly defined, shape which clearly denotes the arms-holder's rank in the social order -- ie, that of a baronet is fairly perfunctory, but that for a Duke is highly ornate). The horned helmets of ancient Celts and Vikings -- which today are thought as only ever having had ceremonial rather than practical use -- are also thought of as having been marks of the wearer's status, so that only a warlord or high dignitary was entitled to wear horns.

* In ''Series/GameOfThrones'', House Baratheon is the royal house at the time the series begins. Baratheon kings tend to wear crowns referencing the stag of their heraldry (except Stannis, who is notably crownless). Examples include Robert, Joffrey (whose crown has stylized stag antlers), Renly (pictured) and Tommen. Tommen's crown of stylized stag antlers looks virtually identical to his brother's. It may even be Joffrey's, but modified to fit his head. After the [[spoiler:death of his eldest brother Robert]], [[MightMakesRight Renly]] declares himself the rightful king, ahead of his "nephew" Joffrey and older brother Stannis. Renly's antler crown is a valuable means to create an image of legitimacy.
