  I love how they used the red head mythological-accurate version for Thor, but Loki is straight up Tom Hiddleston.

  I want Chris Hemsworth and Tom Hiddleson to re-enact the wedding myth. Calling it hilarious would be an understatement.

  Remember, though, Loki is not only the father of those monsters, but he is also the mother of Sleipinir.

  Just throwing this out there, Thor once lowered the level of the Atlantic Ocean because of a drinking contest

  Let&apos;s not forget the myth where Loki ties his balls to a goat&apos;s beard to make Skaði laugh.

  And Thor in a wedding dress is one of the less weird myths in Norse mythology. Among the weirder ones are Thor lifting a cat that is actually Jörmungandr in disguise; Loki turning himself into a mare, getting impregnated by a stallion, and giving birth to Sleipnir, a horse with 8 legs; And the string used to bind Fenrir being made out of sound of footsteps of cats, the beard of women, the roots of mountains, the breath of fish, and the spit of birds.

  &quot;Odin is like Gandalf&quot;. &nbsp;You failed to mention just how much he&apos;s like Gandalf in that Gandalf&apos;s description in The Hobbit and then by extension The Lord of the Rings is modeled after Odin&apos;s appearance when traveling in Midgard. &nbsp;He walks as an old man with a grey cloak, a wide brimmed hat, one eye missing (differs from Gandalf there) and a staff that he leans on as he walks. &nbsp;In this guise Odin has been known to spur warriors on to have adventures and achieve greatness (he gives the Volsungs the sword Gram and he also appears to Sigurd and tells him how best to select the horse for his journey to use Gram to defeat the dragon Fafnir. &nbsp;A horse which just happens to be descended from Odin&apos;s own horse Sleipnir). &nbsp;Not only that but &quot;Gandalf&quot; as well as the names of the 13 dwarves in the hobbit all come from a list of dwarves that&apos;s given in the Gilfaginning. &nbsp;So yeah, Gandalf is like Odin. &nbsp;It&apos;s not a coincidence that he is. &nbsp;And that&apos;s not the only thing Tolkien took from Norse mythology.
