Hello! I'm View from Point of View channel!

0:00:03.130,0:00:05.420
First, I'm gonna confess something. This video's clip is a total clickbait.

0:00:05.420,0:00:09.910
My point is not gonna be about the relationship between Thor and Loki, but about various Norse gods.

0:00:09.910,0:00:14.940
Of course, there's gonna be answer about Thor and Loki's relationship, but it won't be the main idea.

0:00:14.940,0:00:21.340
So it's not that much of a clickbait... More like stories about relationships between Norse gods.

0:00:21.340,0:00:29.800
After watching the 3rd film in Thor trilogy, Thor: Ragnarok. I've noticed that this one is more special than the other two

0:00:29.800,0:00:33.800
in that it included more portions of Norse Mythology.

0:00:33.800,0:00:38.480
Yes there were Norse gods here and there in the other two,

0:00:38.480,0:00:50.510
but just some simple stories. And most of the stuff happen on Earth anyway.

0:00:50.510,0:00:51.240
[Thor's Family, according to Marvel's films]

0:00:51.240,0:00:52.240
[Thor's Family, according to Marvel's films] [Father]

0:00:52.240,0:00:53.000
[Thor's Family, according to Marvel's films] [Father] [Mother]

0:00:53.040,0:00:53.600
[Thor's Family, according to Marvel's films] [Father] [Mother] [Son & Daughter]

0:00:53.600,0:01:08.500
[Thor's Family, according to Marvel's films] [Father] [Mother] [Son & Daughter] [Also a Son?]

0:01:08.840,0:01:17.570
But in this one, the whole story happened the other realms, that's why it's connected to Norse Mythology a lot.

0:01:17.570,0:01:20.940
There were many Asgardian characters on screen.

0:01:20.940,0:01:29.970
So today I'm gonna talk about their relationships. Who is who and how are they related, according to the orginial Mythology.

0:01:32.420,0:01:40.510
According to Norse Mythology, the gods are usually divided into two groups: Aesir and Vanir.

0:01:40.510,0:01:46.570
Today we're gonna focus mainly on the Aesir, because they are more well-known.

0:01:46.570,0:01:52.970
The Aesir are the ones living in Asgard, the land of gods.

0:01:52.970,0:01:59.400
The head of Asgard is Odin. He's the father of all gods.

0:01:59.400,0:02:04.340
As to how Odin came into power and how he was born,

0:02:04.340,0:02:07.220
I have already covered in another video, which you can go watch after this one.

0:02:07.220,0:02:16.110
Odin is a one-eyed god, who has a spear called Gungnir, which appeared a lot in the trilogy.

0:02:16.110,0:02:20.050
He also has an animal as a vehicle, just like gods everywhere else.

0:02:20.050,0:02:25.050
His vehicle is a weird creature, it's a horse with 8 legs.

0:02:25.050,0:02:33.080
Besides, Odin has two more crows, always flying here and there, delivering important news to him.

0:02:33.080,0:02:44.220
We might never get to see the 8-legged horse in Marvel's Thor, but the crows should be visible near Odin in many scenes.

0:02:44.220,0:02:48.250
Furthermore, Odin also has a wife called Frigg.

0:02:48.250,0:02:57.000
In Marvel Cinematic Universe, Frigg was always present next to Odin as his wife, just like in the Mythology.

0:02:57.000,0:03:02.880
Now that we have covered the Father and the Mother, let's talk about the oldest son, Thor.

0:03:02.880,0:03:07.340
Comparing to what we see in MCU, what is Thor really like?

0:03:07.340,0:03:10.140
Well, not in an intimate way, but what he's like according to the Mythology.

0:03:10.140,0:03:15.110
He is a very strong god, with a muscular body, and is a hot-headed god.

0:03:15.110,0:03:22.400
Just like in the films.[br]Among all the Asgardian warriors, Thor is the best one.

0:03:22.400,0:03:29.340
He's the god of gods. That's why the Vikings worshipped Thor the most, maybe even more than Odin himself.

0:03:29.340,0:03:33.020
Everyone thought about Thor first when they thought about a god.

0:03:33.020,0:03:36.080
It is believed that Thor is the god of thunder.

0:03:36.080,0:03:41.710
He has a hammer with him all the time, called Mjolnir. All this is like the films.

0:03:41.710,0:03:48.680
The only difference is that in the films, Thor traveled from place to place by spinning his hammer and let it guide him.

0:03:48.680,0:03:54.880
But in the Mythology, Thor has a car!

0:03:54.880,0:04:01.220
Well, it is more like a chariot, but pulled by goats instead of horses.

0:04:05.170,0:04:10.250
It's pulled by two goats. So, Thor rides a goat-pulled chariot.

0:04:10.250,0:04:18.280
Pulling goat is not like pulled pork though. It means goats that pull the chariot, not a pulled goat in sandwiches and burgers...

0:04:18.280,0:04:21.050
which everybody already understands. Why am I explaining this again?

0:04:21.050,0:04:29.650
So, wherever Thor travels, there are the sound of the goat's footsteps along with the sound of the wheels.

0:04:29.650,0:04:33.480
That's how they explain the sound of lightning and thunder, coming from the god of thunder.

0:04:33.480,0:04:39.770
In Norse Mythology, Thor also has a wife, which is not Jane the human.

0:04:39.770,0:04:41.940
His wife's name is Sif.

0:04:41.940,0:04:52.450
Familiar? Yes, Lady Sif in the films was one of Thor's friends, but according to the Mythology, she's Thor's wife!

0:04:52.450,0:04:56.510
If anyone has ever watched Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D, you'll notice that in one episode,

0:04:56.510,0:05:01.940
Lady Sif showed up and seemed to have a background with Thor. [br]Maybe they got the idea from this part of the original mythology.

0:05:01.940,0:05:06.600
Other than Thor, Odin has other two children.

0:05:06.600,0:05:16.940
Starting to see the chance that the film is right? NO! The other two children are not Hela and Loki.

0:05:16.940,0:05:23.970
The other two are Baldur, the god of light, and Hodr, the god of darkness.

0:05:23.970,0:05:29.800
Now, what is Loki then? Where is he in all this?

0:05:29.800,0:05:35.310
Well, in Norse Mythology, Loki has quite a special status.

0:05:35.310,0:05:41.450
He is not a god, but is a sworn brother of Odin.

0:05:41.450,0:05:48.340
Loki is a son of a fire giant. Not an ice giant, but a fire one, and is a sworn brother of Odin.

0:05:48.340,0:05:56.170
So, if you ask me how Loki is related to Thor, I'd say he's an uncle more than a brother.

0:05:56.170,0:06:03.970
By swearing to be Odin's brother, Loki is praised as if he's a god, and gets to live in Asgard.

0:06:03.970,0:06:09.450
Loki's position in Norse Mythology is, well, a nuisance.

0:06:09.450,0:06:12.740
He is the origin of many troubles in Asgard.

0:06:12.740,0:06:17.740
Framing and fooling various people, using his wit to do naughty things, just like in the films.

0:06:17.740,0:06:25.710
And in the Mythology, he is not single. He has a wife called Sigyn.

0:06:25.710,0:06:30.850
They have a child together, but that's insignificant.

0:06:30.850,0:06:35.540
What's significant is that Loki has an affair!

0:06:36.050,0:06:43.000
Not just a normal affair, but with a giantess called Angrboda.

0:06:43.000,0:06:51.970
How is this affair important? Well, Loki and Angrboda have 3 children together.

0:06:51.970,0:06:58.110
They are neither humans nor gods, but demons,

0:06:58.380,0:07:02.280
and all of them have significant roles in Norse Mythology.

0:07:02.280,0:07:12.770
The eldest son... can I even call that thing a son though, well let's just say the eldest one.

0:07:12.770,0:07:16.560
The eldest one is Fenrir, a wild wolf.

0:07:16.570,0:07:22.170
Familiar? It's the gigantic wolf in the third film.

0:07:22.170,0:07:30.770
This wolf is very powerful, and the gods are so scared of it.

0:07:30.770,0:07:38.000
The second one is the sea serpent called Jörmungandr. It is not so significant, so we're just gonna skip it.

0:07:38.000,0:07:43.600
The third one is the most important, because she's the queen of hell, called Hel.

0:07:43.600,0:07:45.480
or Hela.

0:07:45.480,0:07:49.710
It turns out that, according to Norse Mythology, Hela is Loki's child.

0:07:49.710,0:07:56.940
In the Mythology, this queen of hell has a half of a very beautiful woman while the other half is the rotting corpse.

0:07:56.940,0:08:04.400
As to which half is which, some says that it's divided as upper-half and lower-half, while other says it's left and right.

0:08:04.400,0:08:08.370
Well I don't know either which one is correct.

0:08:08.370,0:08:13.620
Let's just leave that to your own imagination.

0:08:13.620,0:08:23.820
These three children of Loki's are all powerful and evil. The gods are all scared of them.

0:08:23.820,0:08:37.740
That's why the Fenrir is tied up with a dwarf's rope, the serpent is in the sea, and Hela is in Nelfheim, which is the land of the dead.

0:08:37.740,0:08:43.710
All in all, the relationships of the Asgardians are quite different from what we see in the films.

0:08:43.710,0:08:44.520
[Thor's Family, according to Norse Mythology]

0:08:44.520,0:08:45.280
[Thor's Family, according to Norse Mythology] [Father]

0:08:45.280,0:08:45.960
[Thor's Family, according to Norse Mythology] [Father] [Mother]

0:08:45.980,0:08:47.040
[Thor's Family, according to Norse Mythology] [Father] [Mother] [Son]

0:08:47.060,0:08:48.280
[Thor's Family, according to Norse Mythology] [Father] [Mother] [Son] [Brothers]

0:08:48.280,0:08:49.560
[Thor's Family, according to Norse Mythology] [Father] [Uncle] [Children]

0:08:49.560,0:08:54.140
[Thor's Family, according to Norse Mythology] [Father] [Uncle] [Children] [Wife]

0:09:01.620,0:09:08.200
For those who wait to hear Heimdall's name, he's actually not in this group, but is in the other group, the Vanir.

0:09:08.200,0:09:14.740
I don't think we should go any further, because the Norse gods are not as well-known

0:09:14.740,0:09:17.480
as the Greek gods or the Hindu gods.

0:09:17.480,0:09:19.140
It may cause even more confusion.

0:09:19.140,0:09:22.940
But if a chance arrives, I might be discussing the stories of these gods again.

C Fans please don't hate me. I also like DC heroes, but the film is not out yet.
