Love how the genesis of every event in norse mythology is accurately summed up by the first second of the video: "Loki is bored"

[Sakurball]

Hellenic stories feel like epic tragedies while Norse stories feel like episodes of Jackass. The Greek pantheon feels like a dysfunctional family of noblemen that do nothing but cheat/kill each other while the Norse pantheon feels like a slightly more functional family of hillbillies that get drunk and blow shit up for fun.

90% of Greek Myth:
"Along came Zeus"
90% of Norse Myth:
"Along came Loki"

Hindu mythology be like :
-goddess Parvati wants to take a bath
-needs someone to look out for visitors
-creates a kid for the job
-kid does his job well
-her husband Shiva comes home
- kid refuses to let Shiva in the bathroom
- Summons huge army to conquer the bathroom door
- kid beats up the entire army
- shiva gets angry and kills the kid
- Parvati comes out and gets angry at shiva for killing the kid
- needs to revive the kid (new head for the kid as well)
- sends some hunters to bring the head of the first animal they kill
- hunters kill an elephant
-kid is successfully revived but has an elephant head now
-becomes god of wealth and intelligence

As an Icelander who had to study Norse mythology in college I can confirm that this is 100% accurate.

Odin after lokis prank kills baldur : you have officially carried it too far buddy

[ionutpetrisor]

Ahh Loky the loving father of 3 and the mother of one

[starmaker]

And yet this pantheon’s family is still more functional then the Greek Gods

[An_Inconvenience]

Funny as it is, this is a mash up of like 9 separate actual myths yet reads like a cohesive story

Snorri would be proud.

"Loki is bored."
Top 10 quotes before the disaster.

[the_feedle]

Loki: it's just a prank bro
The prank:

[_sargentocoelho_]

Norse mythology be like:
>Thor is drinking heavily in odin knows where
>An old woman challenges him to a drinking competition
>Thor loses and in a fit of rage stomps the floor
>The grand Canyon is created
>The old lady almost falls inside but turns into a snake with wings and escapes at the last moment
>Turns out the old lady was loki in disguise and he only won because the beer was going to Odin's bladder, and the constant pissing of the allfather was responsible for filling the world's oceans
>Thor beats the shit out of loki but they all laugh together

The end.

My favorite part of Norse mythology is when after straight up murdering Balder for shits and giggles, Loki shows up to the dining hall during a feast (or something like that) and just started roasting every single god and goddess in the room as if he were running down a list

[BingBangPoe]

People think Norse Mythology is really epic because of Marvel comics and other media, but it's just "It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia" taking place in Scandinavia.
*THE GANG IMPREGNATES LOKI*
*THE GANG GO ON A DRINKING COMPETITON*
*THE GANG DRESSES THOR LIKE A WOMAN*

Greek mythology: Zeus was horny.
Norse Mythology: Loki was bored.

[TheWarchiefZekeJaeger]

*Loki:* Got bored, fucks everything up and now is responsible for 90% of the lore and events.

*Thor:* Someone fucks up and now the Jotuns are pissed...IT'S MJOLNIRING TIME!!!.

*Odin:* Hobo full on drugs and now is lost, talking mad shit as he wanders around.

*Baldur:* Cool guy, takes an arrow to the knee and the fucking apocalypse happens.

*Vidar:* Local God, who likes to wear only one shoe, is literally too angry to die.

*Freyr:* Literally bends fate by gifting his sword, ninja should had kept his sword.

[VVabsa]

I just like the fact that the Nordic mythos claims we live on a rotting corpse of the first frost giant.

[themsky]

Mythology in Europe starts when a god gets bored and does the most random thing

[ZephLodwick]

Keep in mind that all of this was written down in mostly two sources after the Norse became Christians, so they did a few retcons like making the gods into Trojan heroes.

I swear one day Master should make a fictional history spin-off and make Fire Nation history be like:
