WEBVTT 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.130 Hello! I'm View from Point of View channel! 00:00:03.130 --> 00:00:05.420 First, I'm gonna confess something. This video's clip is a total clickbait. 00:00:05.420 --> 00:00:09.910 My point is not gonna be about the relationship between Thor and Loki, but about various Norse gods. 00:00:09.910 --> 00:00:14.940 Of course, there's gonna be answer about Thor and Loki's relationship, but it won't be the main idea. 00:00:14.940 --> 00:00:21.340 So it's not that much of a clickbait... More like stories about relationships between Norse gods. 00:00:21.340 --> 00:00:29.800 After watching the 3rd film in Thor trilogy, Thor: Ragnarok. I've noticed that this one is more special than the other two 00:00:29.800 --> 00:00:33.800 in that it included more portions of Norse Mythology. 00:00:33.800 --> 00:00:38.480 Yes there were Norse gods here and there in the other two, 00:00:38.480 --> 00:00:50.510 but just some simple stories. And most of the stuff happen on Earth anyway. 00:00:50.510 --> 00:00:51.240 [Thor's Family, according to Marvel's films] 00:00:51.240 --> 00:00:52.240 [Thor's Family, according to Marvel's films] [Father] 00:00:52.240 --> 00:00:53.000 [Thor's Family, according to Marvel's films] [Father] [Mother] 00:00:53.040 --> 00:00:53.600 [Thor's Family, according to Marvel's films] [Father] [Mother] [Son & Daughter] 00:00:53.600 --> 00:01:08.500 [Thor's Family, according to Marvel's films] [Father] [Mother] [Son & Daughter] [Also a Son?] 00:01:08.840 --> 00:01:17.570 But in this one, the whole story happened the other realms, that's why it's connected to Norse Mythology a lot. 00:01:17.570 --> 00:01:20.940 There were many Asgardian characters on screen. 00:01:20.940 --> 00:01:29.970 So today I'm gonna talk about their relationships. Who is who and how are they related, according to the orginial Mythology. 00:01:32.420 --> 00:01:40.510 According to Norse Mythology, the gods are usually divided into two groups: Aesir and Vanir. 00:01:40.510 --> 00:01:46.570 Today we're gonna focus mainly on the Aesir, because they are more well-known. 00:01:46.570 --> 00:01:52.970 The Aesir are the ones living in Asgard, the land of gods. 00:01:52.970 --> 00:01:59.400 The head of Asgard is Odin. He's the father of all gods. 00:01:59.400 --> 00:02:04.340 As to how Odin came into power and how he was born, 00:02:04.340 --> 00:02:07.220 I have already covered in another video, which you can go watch after this one. 00:02:07.220 --> 00:02:16.110 Odin is a one-eyed god, who has a spear called Gungnir, which appeared a lot in the trilogy. 00:02:16.110 --> 00:02:20.050 He also has an animal as a vehicle, just like gods everywhere else. 00:02:20.050 --> 00:02:25.050 His vehicle is a weird creature, it's a horse with 8 legs. 00:02:25.050 --> 00:02:33.080 Besides, Odin has two more crows, always flying here and there, delivering important news to him. 00:02:33.080 --> 00:02:44.220 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. 00:02:44.220 --> 00:02:48.250 Furthermore, Odin also has a wife called Frigg. 00:02:48.250 --> 00:02:57.000 In Marvel Cinematic Universe, Frigg was always present next to Odin as his wife, just like in the Mythology. 00:02:57.000 --> 00:03:02.880 Now that we have covered the Father and the Mother, let's talk about the oldest son, Thor. 00:03:02.880 --> 00:03:07.340 Comparing to what we see in MCU, what is Thor really like? 00:03:07.340 --> 00:03:10.140 Well, not in an intimate way, but what he's like according to the Mythology. 00:03:10.140 --> 00:03:15.110 He is a very strong god, with a muscular body, and is a hot-headed god. 00:03:15.110 --> 00:03:22.400 Just like in the films. Among all the Asgardian warriors, Thor is the best one. 00:03:22.400 --> 00:03:29.340 He's the god of gods. That's why the Vikings worshipped Thor the most, maybe even more than Odin himself. 00:03:29.340 --> 00:03:33.020 Everyone thought about Thor first when they thought about a god. 00:03:33.020 --> 00:03:36.080 It is believed that Thor is the god of thunder. 00:03:36.080 --> 00:03:41.710 He has a hammer with him all the time, called Mjolnir. All this is like the films. 00:03:41.710 --> 00:03:48.680 The only difference is that in the films, Thor traveled from place to place by spinning his hammer and let it guide him. 00:03:48.680 --> 00:03:54.880 But in the Mythology, Thor has a car! 00:03:54.880 --> 00:04:01.220 Well, it is more like a chariot, but pulled by goats instead of horses. 00:04:05.170 --> 00:04:10.250 It's pulled by two goats. So, Thor rides a goat-pulled chariot. 00:04:10.250 --> 00:04:18.280 Pulling goat is not like pulled pork though. It means goats that pull the chariot, not a pulled goat in sandwiches and burgers... 00:04:18.280 --> 00:04:21.050 which everybody already understands. Why am I explaining this again? 00:04:21.050 --> 00:04:29.650 So, wherever Thor travels, there are the sound of the goat's footsteps along with the sound of the wheels. 00:04:29.650 --> 00:04:33.480 That's how they explain the sound of lightning and thunder, coming from the god of thunder. 00:04:33.480 --> 00:04:39.770 In Norse Mythology, Thor also has a wife, which is not Jane the human. 00:04:39.770 --> 00:04:41.940 His wife's name is Sif. 00:04:41.940 --> 00:04:52.450 Familiar? Yes, Lady Sif in the films was one of Thor's friends, but according to the Mythology, she's Thor's wife! 00:04:52.450 --> 00:04:56.510 If anyone has ever watched Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D, you'll notice that in one episode, 00:04:56.510 --> 00:05:01.940 Lady Sif showed up and seemed to have a background with Thor. Maybe they got the idea from this part of the original mythology. 00:05:01.940 --> 00:05:06.600 Other than Thor, Odin has other two children. 00:05:06.600 --> 00:05:16.940 Starting to see the chance that the film is right? NO! The other two children are not Hela and Loki. 00:05:16.940 --> 00:05:23.970 The other two are Baldur, the god of light, and Hodr, the god of darkness. 00:05:23.970 --> 00:05:29.800 Now, what is Loki then? Where is he in all this? 00:05:29.800 --> 00:05:35.310 Well, in Norse Mythology, Loki has quite a special status. 00:05:35.310 --> 00:05:41.450 He is not a god, but is a sworn brother of Odin. 00:05:41.450 --> 00:05:48.340 Loki is a son of a fire giant. Not an ice giant, but a fire one, and is a sworn brother of Odin. 00:05:48.340 --> 00:05:56.170 So, if you ask me how Loki is related to Thor, I'd say he's an uncle more than a brother. 00:05:56.170 --> 00:06:03.970 By swearing to be Odin's brother, Loki is praised as if he's a god, and gets to live in Asgard. 00:06:03.970 --> 00:06:09.450 Loki's position in Norse Mythology is, well, a nuisance. 00:06:09.450 --> 00:06:12.740 He is the origin of many troubles in Asgard. 00:06:12.740 --> 00:06:17.740 Framing and fooling various people, using his wit to do naughty things, just like in the films. 00:06:17.740 --> 00:06:25.710 And in the Mythology, he is not single. He has a wife called Sigyn. 00:06:25.710 --> 00:06:30.850 They have a child together, but that's insignificant. 00:06:30.850 --> 00:06:35.540 What's significant is that Loki has an affair! 00:06:36.050 --> 00:06:43.000 Not just a normal affair, but with a giantess called Angrboda. 00:06:43.000 --> 00:06:51.970 How is this affair important? Well, Loki and Angrboda have 3 children together. 00:06:51.970 --> 00:06:58.110 They are neither humans nor gods, but demons, 00:06:58.380 --> 00:07:02.280 and all of them have significant roles in Norse Mythology. 00:07:02.280 --> 00:07:12.770 The eldest son... can I even call that thing a son though, well let's just say the eldest one. 00:07:12.770 --> 00:07:16.560 The eldest one is Fenrir, a wild wolf. 00:07:16.570 --> 00:07:22.170 Familiar? It's the gigantic wolf in the third film. 00:07:22.170 --> 00:07:30.770 This wolf is very powerful, and the gods are so scared of it. 00:07:30.770 --> 00:07:38.000 The second one is the sea serpent called Jörmungandr. It is not so significant, so we're just gonna skip it. 00:07:38.000 --> 00:07:43.600 The third one is the most important, because she's the queen of hell, called Hel. 00:07:43.600 --> 00:07:45.480 or Hela. 00:07:45.480 --> 00:07:49.710 It turns out that, according to Norse Mythology, Hela is Loki's child. 00:07:49.710 --> 00:07:56.940 In the Mythology, this queen of hell has a half of a very beautiful woman while the other half is the rotting corpse. 00:07:56.940 --> 00:08:04.400 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. 00:08:04.400 --> 00:08:08.370 Well I don't know either which one is correct. 00:08:08.370 --> 00:08:13.620 Let's just leave that to your own imagination. 00:08:13.620 --> 00:08:23.820 These three children of Loki's are all powerful and evil. The gods are all scared of them. 00:08:23.820 --> 00:08:37.740 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. 00:08:37.740 --> 00:08:43.710 All in all, the relationships of the Asgardians are quite different from what we see in the films. 00:08:43.710 --> 00:08:44.520 [Thor's Family, according to Norse Mythology] 00:08:44.520 --> 00:08:45.280 [Thor's Family, according to Norse Mythology] [Father] 00:08:45.280 --> 00:08:45.960 [Thor's Family, according to Norse Mythology] [Father] [Mother] 00:08:45.980 --> 00:08:47.040 [Thor's Family, according to Norse Mythology] [Father] [Mother] [Son] 00:08:47.060 --> 00:08:48.280 [Thor's Family, according to Norse Mythology] [Father] [Mother] [Son] [Brothers] 00:08:48.280 --> 00:08:49.560 [Thor's Family, according to Norse Mythology] [Father] [Uncle] [Children] 00:08:49.560 --> 00:08:54.140 [Thor's Family, according to Norse Mythology] [Father] [Uncle] [Children] [Wife] 00:09:01.620 --> 00:09:08.200 For those who wait to hear Heimdall's name, he's actually not in this group, but is in the other group, the Vanir. 00:09:08.200 --> 00:09:14.740 I don't think we should go any further, because the Norse gods are not as well-known 00:09:14.740 --> 00:09:17.480 as the Greek gods or the Hindu gods. 00:09:17.480 --> 00:09:19.140 It may cause even more confusion. 00:09:19.140 --> 00:09:22.940 But if a chance arrives, I might be discussing the stories of these gods again. 00:09:22.940 --> 00:09:29.200 If anyone likes this video, don't forget to like and share it. 00:09:29.200 --> 00:09:32.000 Please share please share please share. 00:09:32.000 --> 00:09:34.770 You can comment that you're the first one to share if you'd like. 00:09:34.770 --> 00:09:42.510 To not miss out on new videos, click on the subscribe button and the bell next to it, so you'll be notify. 00:09:42.510 --> 00:09:45.940 See you next time, until then, goodbye! 00:09:45.940 --> 00:09:49.280 Look at how much of a geek I am. 00:09:49.280 --> 00:09:53.400 C Fans please don't hate me. I also like DC heroes, but the film is not out yet. 00:09:53.400 --> 00:09:55.400 Let's wait until then, okay? 00:09:59.370 --> 00:10:08.000 This is in case any superhero films want to sponsor me, I can also make these contents, not just Thai literature. 00:10:08.000 --> 00:10:10.000 End with an ad again, how come?
