    My MCU Headcannon is during norse times, some Asgardian got drunk off his ass on earth and tried (highly inaccurately, due to a mix of not knowing all of Asgardian history and trying to make the story impressive) to tell stories of his people in ways the locals would understand, which is something I would kill to see

    I always felt sorry for Loki (Norse accurate Loki) because he’s the god of mischief and all those things he did was just him doing his job but if you think him killing Baldur was not part of the job then that’s fine by me, I don’t think it was part of the job at all.

    18:23: fun fact, a deleted scene of age of Ultron actually has Thor and Selvig saying these water spirits are indeed the Norns. Thor is even possessed by them as a way to tell Ultron’s endgame to Selvig. It was probably cut to simplify the narrative, Thor’s dream side quest was already kind’ve out of nowhere.

    12:14 Mimir: "Brother, have I ever told you about the time that I promised Odin unparallelled wisdom and knowledge in trade for his eye? Well, he didn't like it very much that I joked around and he actually pulled his eye out and gave it to me. Odin's rage knew no bounds and decided to trap me inside a tree on the highest mountain in Midgard with my other Bifrost eye missing,"
  • The mythology guy is teaching me so much. He has taught me that there where no elevators in Ancient Greece, Thor did not join a team of super heroes in Norse mythology, there are no implosion grenades,and he taught me that the ancient Norse myths did not have performance enhancing drugs, I mean curses, I mean… no, drugs.
  • 6:09 ok, this is just my own little hypothesis... Frigg was called "Frigga" here might be the movie writers trying to fuse Frigg with Freya, due to the fact that there are very plausible theories that suggested Frigg and Freya to be the same goddess in Norse Mythology.

    7:05 Actually that stone giant is from the same race of aliens as Korg. In the Planet hulk comics when Korg meets Hulk he tells him about how he and his brother fought Thor once before but were beaten. If they're following the comics, that would mean Thor just killed Korgs big brother. No one tell Korg.
  • The Aesir restoring order in Vanaheim is especially funny considering they literally WENT TO WAR, which not only ended on rather bitter terms from what my research has shown, but also implies they have similar power levels and are able to go head-to-head
  • @OptimusPhillip
    Fun fact: Frigga being Thor's mother is not accurate to the comics either (assuming Thor is, in fact, describing her as his birth mother). In the comics, Thor's mother is, actually, the Earth goddess... Gaia. You were so close, Stan.
  • @user-ec1ux9rs9x
    I am pretty sure that the rock giant that was reduced to a pile of rubble was originally supposed to be Korg, but since they never said so outright they went ahead and used a different version of Korg in the next movie.
  • just wanna say thank you so much for adding subtitles, both for your commentary and the movie itself. i have auditory processing disorder and frequently have huge trouble understanding what people are saying. i really think more youtubers should add subtitles to their videos <3
  • @SebasTian58323
    Ria is one of the worlds in the MCU that isn't one of the move realms, just a world Asgard helped and protected
  • @mdsystems4463
    "Wherever you go there's war, ruin and death" Said the literal Norse God of War and Death
  • @blackkat6704
    10:10 Odin is so shocked after finding out that if he stops eating the apples, he can become mortal and regained sight in his right eye 😂
  • Dude you are so close to 1 mil and still you're underrated. Ive been a fan for a while and can't describe how much i love greek mythology.
  • @LV-nb9cs
    Actually Thor leaving his weapon at the door is very much accurate. Maybe not to the myths, but to real world customs. You do not bring weapons with you when you're visiting the ruler of the place. It's disrespectful and yould cause a lot of trouble.
  • Having Hymdal have 9 mothers seems like something Love and Thunder would have as a plot point where his son would maybe be constantly pestered by his 9 grandmas as a comedic side story among the already comedic plot
  • @bartoszdulas1703
    The stone giant is a reference to Thor's debut comic book Journey into Mystery where Thor fought with "Stone Men from Saturn" years later retconned in Marvel Comics to be an alien race called Kronan.
