The idea of the parent comforting his kid with Thor's story during a thunderstorm is really endearing :)

Knowledge of Thor, his hammer, his equipment and his goats are very common knowledge in Scandinavia. We're taught it in school, and we treasure it dearly. To us, Marvel is just a creative interpretation, and their version of Thor has absolutely nothing to do with the God, he's just a superhero. So when people genuinely think that's how Thor works, it hurts our little Scandi hearts :(

You just gotta love Jake, good quality content, derpy and fun without sacrificing truth, and swiftly made.

I knew what "Lifted only by a worthy one" is definetly Stan Lee's touch, but the fact what Thor can neither fly nor *shoot lightning* just blows my mind

[terrorbilly]

thor is actually a powerlifter. 50%of his life revolves around eating and other 50% around lifting a piece of metal he even wears a belt that gives him streanght

[VXMasterson]

I like to imagine thunder and lightning are a byproduct of Thor. Like, he hits things to hard due to his immense strength is sounds like a thunderclap, and he hits things so fast the friction creates lightning. In this way, he doesn't CONTROL these things, but they happen because of him (pure speculation)

Just because of his videos it got me really interested in mythology.

The worth part in the movies is explained in the first Thor movie, Odin puts that spell there to teach humility to Thor, but decides to just keep that magic there. The problem is that people really believe the hammer was always like that when it is not.

2:22 never expected Leslie and Brianne to appear in a Norse mythology video of all places lol

That is actually something we say at least here in Norway, that when its thundering, Tor (yes, not with an H) is out and about.
I think it was more common years ago tho.

But yes, here he is known as the thunder god

[zmroyhe]

My favorite Marvel Thor mythology is that his hammer was reforged in Pittsburgh, wonder if that was in the classic myths as well.

[tygovisser]

Marvels thor does have the belt, but especially in the mcu it doesnt seem to be that important as it is never mention outside of spider man, where iron mans bodyguard is unable to pronounce its name

[iverkjellkken]

As a Scandinavian myself I can tell you that even today some parents still tell their kids that the thunder is just Tor messing about.

[matilda]

I’m not sure where I heard this (either in school or the Penguin Book of Norse Myths) but apparently the sound of thunder comes from the rumble of Thor’s chariot wheels

[ELCRACKXX]

Damn bro thanks for this video, I’ve been showing my BOY this so he can learn more about Norse mythos since we are currently in one

[Tommyland]

Jakes video’s is the only reason I’ve kept my insanity👏🏽🙏🏼

[Petrico]

I'd love to see an analysis of that Valhalla cartoon, it's the only thing I can think of adapting Thor in modern times that isn't basing itself on Marvel's interpretation.

[kiwi_duckling]

0:28 omg, you know about Peter Madsens Valhalla comics! They were a huge part of my childhood haha

[LordHayabusa]

The gloves were for protecting Thor’s hands from the burning hot handle of Mjolnir.

[lazy_shark]

As someone who speaks Icelandic and know to some extent how to pronounce these names, I can not hold in my laughter 😂
Good job on these videos tho they are amazing and make me want to learn more about the actual sources and how accurate my 4th grade norse mythology books were
