Have you ever thought of doing prince of Egypt?

Class Of The Titans, it’s a canadian kids show from the 2000s that was about kid friendly Greek mythology. Maybe you could pick a few random episodes and find inaccuracies

How about the game Hades, I haven't finished it and I don't know how accurate it is but it could make an interesting video

@@madtabby66 So...Custer goes to Valhalla despite getting a well deserved comeuppance at Little Bighorn and those Native American civilians he massacred go to Hel? Gosh!

She's not that in the comic-books. She's a neutral villain, who plays fairly if there's a precedent. She rarely leaves her domain in Niffleheim and yes, she is the daughter of Loki, unlike in this sh1t movie. And Loki is the main villain of Ragnarok in the comics, too. Again, unlike in this sh1t movie.

And he probably would have to watch them multiple times to have all the facts

Always do 😂

And he did it without using the word literally too much

I guess "that this guy" knows what he is saying dont you think?

You mean Chris came up with that joke on set and incorporated it into the movie?

​@@todaystheday6823Ragnarok is filled with improv lines

​@todaystheday6823 to my knowledge, only about 30% of the movie was actually scripted. It was chock full of improv and entire scenes being made up on the spot.

it also might be a reference to Hercules

@@linkeragon7885 Hercules is roman? Thor and loki are norse

To be fair, there are higher gods than the Asgardians, shown in Thor: Love and Thunder. But we don’t know if he says it in Earthly or Asgardian fashion.

Oh, really? In what movie was it shown? Because I recall Thor was still speaking gramatically correct in Age of Ultron, not using expressions that should be alien to him, and then in Ragnajoke he suddenly talks like a boring-ass human. Shouldn't such a pivotal change of characer be addressed in the movies themselves instead of be some fan theory on YT?

@antona.1327 Thor only speaks in a medieval fashion at the beginning of Thor. In that movie, he slowly stops speaking in that exaggerated manner.

@@daemianmatthews2062 Wrong he keeps talking in that same old fashioned way until Thor 3 where he just completely changes his style of speaking and acts like the same old quipping marvel jackass they all turn into.

That is the ancient equivalent of Batman calling everything the "Bat [suffix]"

Lol@@Satellaview1889

That's hilarious ​@@Satellaview1889

With these names, I’m surprised she didn’t just call Garm Helulfr (I just searched up a translation, should mean “helwolf”)

It was an alternate universe technically.

@@gregorio1580 yeah but that doesn’t mean he couldn’t not be alive in the main universe

There is nothing funny about this. It's embarrassing how sh1t these movies have been at adapting comics when the storytelling potential was right there on the page.

Good point man

​@antona.1327 Then read the comics, man. Plenty of people enjoyed the movie. I'm honestly sorry that you didn't, but antagonizing people who are just sharing BTS info is seriously uncool.

The comics are much more in line with the actual myths Like it’s actually pretty cool how they explain and adapt things to fit the marvel mythos and history. Where as the movies go for kind of a generic Greek pantheon inspired aesthetic Comic Hercules and Movie Thor are way more similar than Comic and movie thor

Which Thor comics? I had a thick book of a ton of old Thor comics. They were in black and white. He fought Ego, Crusher Creel(the absorbing man), he also fought the destroyer, fought Hercules and fought for him as his champion. There was even Olympian gods. There were mini stories in the issues showing Loki's shenanigans and planning. Some tribal chief or something found a norn stone Loki either lost or dropped or maybe even left it intentionally, i cant remember all of it. I believe some were titled "Amazing Tales" It was a book with many issues consolidated. It was cool but you could tell it was old by how extremely noble and perfect moral compass some chracters (especially as Thor) possessed. One other story was about a king that invited Thor as a guest (he hated Thor or Asgard) but he gave Thor 3 challenges to pass and Thor won two but the third was a trick. The kings wife, daughter, or mistress approached Thor the night before the challenge and told him about the trick and how to beat it. There was also a story where Thor was in control of a ship (on the water) and had a crew that trusted himz but Loki started to sow seeds of deceit which almost worked but Thor prevailed in the end. Im not sure if youre talking stories THAT old but hell i figured id ramble on with a comment nobody will even read, almost completely waisting my time on this when i could bw waisting it watching Deadpool 3 predictions and 100%"real" plot leaks www.goodreads.com/book/show/1433507.Essential_Thor_Vol_2 This was the book

It wasn't so dark in the book I read about Ragnarok

@@DonPatt-eg3vt he's talking about Walt Simonson's The Surtur Saga from the 80s and early 2000s Ragnarok story. There were also multiple preludes to Ragnarok from the 60s and onward, where various elements from the myths occured in Thor's books, like him fighting Jormugandr to almost certain death, Loki leading giants against Asgard, etc. Simonson's and 2004s stories put all of the mythological elements together as oppose to keeping them seperate.

@@DonPatt-eg3vt yes, it was. It was literally The Lord of the Rings but without the happy ending.

Do the dead go to Fensalir? I thought it was only Valhalla and Folkvangr.

Yeah, funny how she has no name in the movies and how she also is Brunnhilde is name only, because she's nothing like the character, myths or comics.

You and Taika both have some problems with grammar and semantics. Shrinking and shapeshifting are two different concepts. Thor's hammer in the myths can change size, not shape. And this stupid gag with the umbrella is supposedly a reference to the comics (wow, which is so rare in Waititi's Thor movies) when Thor used the alter ego of a medical doctor and walked with a cain that was really his hammer in disguise.

​@@antona.1327🤓

I'm pretty sure thor can't shapeshift his hammer into an umbrella

@@antona.1327 Maybe he shrunk it then hid it inside the umbrella.

It's not weird. It's simply a showcase of how MCU can do something well if they try (Infinity War) and how they can do everything wrong they don't care (Ragnajoke, Dumb and Thunder).

Oh damn I just realized that

​@@antona.1327 Why in the world would you put Ragnarok and Love and Thunder at the same level?? Ragnarok has a different tone to the other Thor movies, but it's a legitimately well-crafted one, and is widely considered the best out out of them. Meanwhile, Love and Thunder is just bad.

@@khepri3198 Ragnajoke is the same crap as Dumb and Thunder, just taken a day earlier. Ragnajoke breaks every single rule of veresemiltude, character writing and worldbuilding there is to break. It's an absolutre disaster from every damn angle. 'Well-crafted''? By Ymir's corpse, what art thou fumbling about? Ragnajoke was character assassination of Thor and Loki on top of how it treated all the supporting characters who deserved better.

I feel like you’re a little too invested if you’re trying to dunk on the MCU movies in like 50% of the comments here. Just give it up, some people can like them and you don’t have to be one of them, just please don’t make it everybody else’s problem. Like the almighty man in the video said, different/inaccurate doesn’t mean bad.

Good to know.

you are correct about her name and if you search valkyrie it states that she is named Brunnhilde but they only use the title in the movies.

Don’t worry. I’ve got a list with several future videos

@@TheMythologyGuy1 God of War 2018 and God of War: Ragnarok?

@@rorschach1985ifyFair point

Thunder is lightning sound.

People in ancient times may not have always known. ​@@jeffreygao3956

He is neither. "God of Something" isn't a concept in Norse/Germanic mythology. Though, among other things like strength and oak trees, Thor is associated with thunder and lightning, he does, in fact, summons and controls lightning in the myths despite the Mythology Guy claiming otherwise. I made a comment about this here, in detail, but basically, when Thor arrives to duel Hrungnir in the myths, he summons lightning, as describes in the Prose Edda. And in a 10th century poem about this myth, it references Thor summoning lightning when it says all the skies were burning due to Thor. Then in Gesta Danorum by Saxo Grammaticus, Thor strikes some women with lightning bolts.

Thors hammer is literally called lighting maker

@@finchatforharambe905 No, it isn't. It is speculated that it might mean "lightning".

Nothing you said makes any sense. Much like this trash movie. Hela is Loki's daughter. This movie sucks. The end.

@@antona.1327Loki becomes the adopted son of Odin instead of his blood brother, this going down a generation while Hela is Odin's daughter, going up a generation or being the same generation as Loki. Also not in these films as they are only vaguely adapting the mythology.

@@isplat927 1. Yeah, still doesn't make any sense and I see no reason why it has to be brought up. You cornballs are searching for something in nothing. 2. They're not adapting mythology at all. Nor they should. They should adapt the comics, which already adapted the myths. But, you know, Mr. "I'll ruin your mythos" doesn't read, comics, mythological sources, or anything of value that isn't Twitter (not that Twitter has any value).

I sort of wish that was the title, and the next movie could've been "Avengers: Ragnarok" instead, since it actually felt closer to the extent of Ragnarok than Thor's movie.

HA! that's gonna be hilarious

@@yeeyeejuiceman-pk1qn I wonder how he would react to “was Hercules like ‘yo I don’t wanna fight Cerberus.’”

Fun fact: In the books, they actually include a suitably mythological reason for why the Greek hero is referred to by his Roman name. In Marvel canon, he was originally Heracles, but after having to put up with Heras shit for so many years, he wanted to distance himself from her as much as possible so he adopted the name the Romans called him. I'm actually kind of surprised more media doesn't go that route when it comes Heracles/Hercules.

@@legoking6165 that was in the Heroes of Olympus series as well

@@UltimateDespairado Really? Cool!

Considering this is a multibillion dollar franchise those are really weak reasons, but probably true.

I can't believe such a deedicated, intellegent and totally not lazy filmmaker such as His Highness Taika Waititi would ever create some stupid plot contrivance in his movie just because he didn't bother with research. Doesn't compute.

​@antona.1327 You're right. No filmmaker or storyteller has ever written a plot contrivance before Taika did. What, did he kick your dog or something? You really have it out for the guy

@@xXSamir44Xx I mean I agree with your post. They are weak but probable sadly.

@@winloc_5681 oh, look, Taika's loyal sycophants are here with their fedora hat, milady attitude, defending a lazy multi-millionare who does his job poorly. Also, whataboutisms aren't excuses; they're admition of failure. Also, that's not a convincience. That's bad writing, bad directing and lazy approach all together. If a UKposts guy can catch that, so should a ''filmmaker'' who gets paid millions of dollars to do his job. Perhaps raise your standards for filmmaking instead of simping for bad filmmakers who clearly don't respect your intellegence. Also, didn't kick my dog, but he ruined my favorite Marvel superhero, so yeah, it's personal for me.

I think there’s a conversation in GOW 2018 that actually acknowledges this. I believe Mimir said Muspellheim isn’t as hot as it used to be

​@@TheMythologyGuy1 correct

Kratos is to angry to die

How

@@krystianandrychowski8957 ?

Lol, just noticed that

Imagine how could it would be if we just got a proper Ragnarok movie directed by Kenneth Branagh. Would much rather see that.

Thor is also not a himbo in Marvel comics. In my opinion, this movie is more of a parody of Marvels Thor, but in a good way like the Lego Batman movie.

@@legoking6165DO not compare this comedic baloney to possibly one of the greatest Batman movies ever made.

Okay. What should I compare the movie to then? The superhero squad show? Batman and Robin? Spaceballs?

@@legoking6165 any of them.

it's a pointless line of dialogue that was invented by Hemsworth, who doesn't even know about the story of Jormugandr because he never bothered with much research. Quit writing fanfics and pretending like the MCU will do something well for once - they won't.

A taser is in fact shown to down him in the first Thor movie

I also have a critique of Ragnajoke; it sucks.

At that point of the movie Thor couldn't control lightning without Mjolnir, unless he was in high stress situations. It makes sense he was affected by that device

Debatable. To my knowledge, Thor's body type is never actually described in any of the myths.

It is never mentioned at all that Thor was fat.

@@OptimusPhillip it isn't, indeed. And he was a symbol of strength and masculinity, and I can assure you the old Germanic people didn't think fat men represented masculinity and strength.

Even if he does, that’s a pretty difficult reference to understand for those who aren’t as familiar with the myths.

No, it's a callback to the first Thor movie where Odin references his father and his father before him. Odin's brothers don't exist in the MCU, and neither does Ymir. Thank god for that, since he's one of my favorite creations in the myths/comics, his story is so grandiuse and epic, the last thing I want is some hack like Taika to butcher it.

MCU Valkyrie is not Brunnhilde, because there is absolutely nothing in common between those two. Comic-book Brunnhilde is a white woman, she's a brave shield-maiden with a lovable personality, a friend of Sif, and she knew Thor since they were teenagers. MCU's so-called Valkyrie is an unlikable thunderc#nt who enslaved people and didn't want to help Asgard until she had a convinient change of heart (if she has any). And yeah, modern Marvel comics letting bad movies crawl into comic canon is why barely anyone wants to buy their terrible new comics. The last thing a Thor fan wants to see in a Thor movie is MCU/Waititi garbage. We read comics to escape from MCU's terrible adaptations, not see them reappropriated.

@@antona.1327 in this case there doesn't need to be anything in common between the two versions of the character for them to be the same character because they are meant to exist in different Universes from each other. While movie franchises like Lord of the Rings or Harry Potter are intended to be visual adaptations of their respective books, the same cannot be said of Comics (doesn't matter who's publishing them) due to them existing within a Multiverse, any changes from the 616 story simply means it's another Universe and isn't following nor meant to follow the 616 continuities or characterizations and stuff like that, so things are allowed to be and will be different because the Multiverse allows that to be the case. You may feel the MCU movies are bad, and that's fine, but it's inaccurate to say that that's the specific reason as to why people aren't buying comics. Sure that may be *part* of the reason why *some* may not because the movies put them off from the comics, but it's not factual to state it as you have where it's the only reason no one buys them, they could simply not be able to afford the comics they want to read or not be sure where to start to read whatever comics or characters they want to and stuff like that, those are other reasons as to why people may not buy comics. You seem to be trying to state your opinion as fact and that never works out. You may read comics to avoid the film adaptations, and that's fine too, but again, you are essentially claiming everyone who reads comics is doing that, which isn't the case. Also, I'm curious if there's some anti-Marvel movie & TV bias coming from your direction just in general due to your picture being Batman and all.

Yeah he mentioned that he's aware it is an adaption of the comics in the Thor 1 and Avengers movie.

He also refers to it being adapted of comics 3:42

@@PauTheDeo I'm aware. To be honest, I don't really think Thor: Ragnarok is a good adaption of the comic series, but it is a VERY entertaining movie.

No one thinks these movies are based on actual mythology, he’s just using a popular movie as a conduit to teach mythology to people interested in what these stories are based on.

I would assume he would point out Zeus doesn't die in mythology and doesn't get killed by Thor.
