Things Marvel Got Wrong About Thor and Norse Mythology. It may shock you to learn that Stan Lee and Jack Kirby did not do an accurate job bringing the Norse god Thor and his mythology into the Marvel comics universe back in 1. If they had, they would have been arrested, because Norse myths are full of murder, mayhem and weird sex, most of which still wouldn. Here are eight major ways Thor and his world differ between the comics and the myths. Thor. Let? The original Thor also had red hair, was never willingly without his beard, and gloried in battle to the point where Marvel. The Norse Thor needed magic gloves to have Mjonir fly back to him, and a special belt to use Mjolnir at its full power While Marvel used the belt in the alternative universe Ultimates comics, the gloves have not been mentioned in the regular Marvel U. The original Thor can. And obviously, unlike the myth (as well as the recent movies) Thor was never punished by Odin to walk the earth as the lame doctor Donald Blake. Loki. While Marvel. Case in point: When the giantess Skaldi invaded Asgard to avenge her father. In Norse mythology, Loki gave birth to many bizarre gods and monsters including Hela, the death goddess; the dragon J. To Kill A Mockingbird (1962) is a much-loved, critically-acclaimed, classic trial film. It exhibits a dramatic tour-de-force of acting, a portrayal of childhood. Theodore John 'Ted' Kaczynski (/ k ![]() While the Marvel comics have acknowledged that these are Odin. Most importantly, while the Norse version of Odin did find Loki as a baby . Baldr was the god of light, happiness, beauty, and all that good stuff; meanwhile, the Baldur of the Marvel comics is basically a less hot- headed and less powerful version of Thor . In both scenarios, all the gods love Baldur . Loki talked a guy named Hodr into shooting Baldr with a mistletoe dart, killing the god. When Odin asked Hel to let Baldr come back to life, she agreed, as long as every living thing cried for him. That woman was Loki in disguise, because Loki really hated Baldr. Anyways, in the comics, Loki accomplishes the same murder, but Balder is successfully resurrected. Sif. While the comics. She was famous for her long blonde hair until a prank by Loki cut it off, at which point she was so sad that crops would not grow. Her husband Thor, naturally, beat the living shit out of Loki until he agreed to make it right, and asked the dwarves to build her some new hair. Odin. Odin, the wise, peace- loving father of Thor and the adopted father of Loki, tries to rule over Asgard justly and peacefully in the comics. If this Odin ever met the Odin of Norse myth, Marvel- Odin would get his ass kicked. The original Odin was a war- god who didn. Odin loves war, and he loves starting fights . Also, the original Odin was not exactly a beloved deity as much as a god to be feared and weirded out by . The Marvel Odin traded all this for a vague but massive power called the Odinforce, which he can use to do just about anything a writer needs him to, but which also needs to be recharged every so often with the Odinsleep . On the hero side, the Warriors three . Because first they grew out of their father Ymir. They can be ugly and beautiful, but either way are so in touch with nature that they. They were powerful and wise; Odin came to them to learn more about Ragnorak, and while he was there was legitimately worried for his safety should they turn on it. These giants were also the source of the universe. He was Odinspit). Ragnorak. Shockingly, the Asgard of Norse myth and of Marvel comics are pretty similar: They both are part of the world tree Yggdrisil, they. Really, other than Marvel. But when it comes to the end of the world, the two versions are vastly different . In the myth, pretty much everybody dies when Ragnorak begins . Odin gets eaten by the great wolf Fenrir, Thor dies defeating the Midgard Serpent, Loki and Heimdall kill each other, and eventually Surtur will set the whole damn universe on fire. Two humans and a few gods do survive to start over, though, so that. Meanwhile, the comics' Thor fought his first Ragnorak at the end of Stan Lee and Jack Kirby. It happened again when Surtur arrived during Walt Simonson. And this isn't even count the many times Asgard was decimated our outright destroyed through non- Ragnorak- related means. Mintz explains: “It was part of a large book in which he kept all his original Beatles’ compositions. Penny Lane is one I’m missing, Up church and to the clocktower,In the circle of the Abbey, I have seen some happy hours. Past the tramsheds with no trams,On the 5 bus into town,Past the Dutch and St. Columbus,To the Dockers Umbrella that they pulled down. All these places have their memories,Some are dead and some are living.”Pete Shotton, who was a close childhood friend of John, has related how John once told him that the lyric about the friends who were “dead” and “living” were about Stuart Sutcliffe, a close friend and former Beatle who died of a brain tumor in April of 1. Pete himself as the “living” friend. Commenting about this poem, Lennon said in 1. In My Life’ started out as a bus journey from my house at 2. Menlove Avenue to town, mentioning every place I could remember.
