Yeah, and considering that they tend to talk about a lot of popular things in pop culture, with Marvel heroes being big so far, makes it even less likely that they'd talk about the actual Thor of mythology.
+Adam Jensen no he doesn't, he wore the iconic helmet Once and has never said any of Thor's signature quotes from the comics like Have at Thee! Or I Say Thee Nay!
***** I get your point, but I still think the thumbnail gives sufficient exposition as to what Thor, If they had the same title but made a Video about Jon Mikl Thor, and had his picture it would be the same deal. Even if it was about the Norse god people would still be complaining, but about how it's not the Marvel one.
Good job at mentioning as to why Stan Lee and Jack Kirby made their own Superhero version of Thor as well, little to no people at all know he is more powerful than The Hulk and is one of the few characters capable of defeating Hulk along with killing him (and has killed him before) "The only being who would be able to take down the strongest man would be God" said by none other than Stan Lee himself
8:58 In Norse Mythology, the sound of the goats 'gallop' in the sky was the reason of the sounds of thunder. The goats were magical too: You could kill them, roast them, then eat them. Just keep the bones and skin intact, and with a little Asgardian magic, they can be brought back to life.
It a bit ironic that Tom Hiddleston auditioned for Thor in the first place.. And then gets to play Loki. And Loki wants to take Thors place at the throne.
Badabing Bing Still though, I was expecting this video to be about Ancient Norse legends of Thor carved on stone tablets, not the watered down mainstream version.
#5 "First Superhero Based on a God" #3 Shows how he first appeared in the Venus comic strip. About a superhero who was meant to be a God. Outstanding work...
***** yeah he fought with both superman and wonder woman for about 300 years or something against demons or something and lasted longer than both of them. i cant remember much though it was a long time ago i read this.
Here is a Fact that i really like: Thor and Hercules are bitter Rivalries and also good friends. These 2 always conflicted because they were both the number 1 Sons of the 2 most powerful Gods in Marvel, Zeus and Odin. Hercules and Thor may had many battles, but in the Civil War, Hercules admitted that Thor is his Friend and he said that right before Hercules smashed Ragnaroks Head with his own Hammer and killed Ragnarok.
There is also another one (originally Thor's hammer was not only lifted by the worthies but anyone can Carry it,they changed so it would be cool and powerful and interesting and famous
Thor has been replaced several times in the comics, one time he was replaced by a cyborg clone that went rogue and killed other superheroes in Civil War. He renamed himslef as Ragnarok.
There is or was, another Thor in the 616 Marvel universe. A mortal, named Red Norvell, who using magic became a red-haired version of Thor. Also Eric Masterson become Thor before becoming the Magical Mace wielding hero Thunderstrike.
Really man she hulk, female iron man now another female character. I mean I get all the women empowerment thing but don't take away the originality from the character
What about Marvel-Thor's unique powers and abilities?? God blast, Anti-Force, Matter/Energy Manipulation, Warrior's Madness, Top tier strength (stronger than Hulk), Able to control weather W/O Mjolnir, Faster than light speed travel, reaction/battle speed... much more than that. That would not only be specific to him, interesting to those who don't really know about him and also reinforce the fact that he's literally one of the most powerful Marvel superheroes, and I mean TOP.
@ 1:17 "the series has been very successful" When Jane first took Thor's place, the reader base started at 150,862. As of last month, it's now 51,300, that's not what I call successful. Unless by "successful" you mean "alienating roughly 2/3 of your readers by mocking those who don't like you comic and call them misogynists".
The thing I respect most about Marvel is their ability to choose the right actors/ actresses for any specific roles . For etc : Chris Hemsworth as Thor , Tom Hiddleston as Loki Chris Evans as Capt , and most iconic , Robert Downey Jr as Iron Man
The most intriguing thing about this list is the prospect of Superman and Thor fighting to solve the very popular debate of who would win in a fight. SUPERMAN or THOR.
I like how he used to have his hammer look like a Hamm-axe it was hammer on one end and axe on the other and was shorter and flatter. And that in a movie he helped different small caused like in one movie he helped people stand up to fisher men that caught whales or something
Christ. The actor that played Loki playing Thor. He never would have been able to physically try n do Thor justice on the silver screen. Not to say I didn't love him as Loki, but he could never have pulled off Thor
One semi major fact they left out was that Thor's mother is GAEA (The Earth Mother also known as JORO in Norse Mythology). It explains why The Thunderer splits so much of his time between Asgard and Midgard (Earth)!
Exactly what is stopping DC from utilizing Thor, Hercules etc as they do Ares? Its not like Marvel owns the creative rights to a being that was once worshipped. Take Dracula for an example, everyone can use him as well.
Feminists don't give a fuck about comics. Marvel just wanted a larger portion of female readership and Thor is an important enough title to draw in new readers. Jane Foster actually rises above many of Marvel's other female heroes in that she is actually Thor and not merely a female reskin of an existing hero. Also, Thor doesn't refer to a single person but rather a mantle that can be assumed by theoretically anyone. Beta Ray Bill and Storm have taken up Mjolnir in the past so there's nothing wrong with Jane doing the same. If you really look at the core Avengers only a few of them can't be replaced by someone else. In fact only Scarlet Witch, Vision, and Black Widow have not been another person. Hawkeye, Captain America, Ant-Man, Wasp, Thor, Hulk, and soon Iron Man have all passed the mantle to other people, be it by mischief or design.
+BitsyTheNinja what i find wrong with it is that they robbed thor of place and even a name. Beta ray bill never changed his name to thor. Thor now only goes by odinson how stupid is that !
+Trevor Cormier Odinson is his name. Thor is what he becomes when he wields Mjolnir. Everyone who wields Mjolnir has the power of Thor while they have it.
9:04 Actually 'Grinder' is the name of one of his goats (okay, 'Tooth-Grinder' if you want to be really picky) - I'm sure there's a theory that Mjolnir's name is derived from the Viking for 'lightning', which makes total sense.
5:18, marvel's thor wasn't the first, nor was he the first character based off of thor. That was a character created by Fox comics and first published in 1940. He was also called thor, and bears a striking resemblence to the marvel's thor. The character was stolen from a defunct company, and based off a mythological character which can't be copyrighted anyway. They don't legally own Thor and can't. But like DC, they exploit their wealth to push down anyone who tries to use the character themselves.
I thought, when I went to watch this video, that it would be about actual Thor facts. And then it turns out, that it was just Marvels version of Thor facts. I like Marvels Thor, but I'm kind of disappointed.
Bonus round Jane is the only wielder that steals name and position of Thor, the other just take powers and clothes like the Thunder God but remain separated entities and identities.
THOR FACT - In no current or recent cartoon featuring Thor on TV has referred to him as The God Of Thunder. People suspect , it's to not offend the Christian Right.
He's my favorite avenger :) Thor and Loki are my favorite characters in the entire MCU.
Same here, but I also like Captain America and Bucky ^^
He's my fav aveneger too! Fuck Cap
Loki is the only good villain the MCU has had lol
@@natelandherr5202 no my favourite only
My favorite Thor fact is that once, he drank an ocean of beer. It's an awesome story.
He didn't drink it all, that's the hole point. And it was mead.
All these people upset that it's Marvels thor. Are you dumb the thumbnail is literally marvels thor so take a wild guess who it's going to be about.
Yeah, and considering that they tend to talk about a lot of popular things in pop culture, with Marvel heroes being big so far, makes it even less likely that they'd talk about the actual Thor of mythology.
"Top 10 Thor facts" not "top 10 Marvell Thor facts"
"Top 10 Thor facts" not "top 10 Marvell Thor facts"
+jakob stol it's pretty ovbious to see which thor they are talking about unless your blind
Great Top 10
agree
Thor the best avengers fo me and you?
totally agree!
+Adam Jensen I agree
+Adam Jensen no he doesn't, he wore the iconic helmet Once and has never said any of Thor's signature quotes from the comics like Have at Thee! Or I Say Thee Nay!
I wish they had explained why Thor didn't work out at DC; that was the only fact mentioned I didn't know before.
should be called "Top 10 Marvel Thor facts"
i would rather have a list for the god, not this shit
I thought it would be about Norse Thor. It is Watchmojo though...
As if you couldn't tell from the thumbnail
Norse Thor would have been so much better and was exactly what i was expecting :/
*****
I get your point, but I still think the thumbnail gives sufficient exposition as to what Thor, If they had the same title but made a Video about Jon Mikl Thor, and had his picture it would be the same deal. Even if it was about the Norse god people would still be complaining, but about how it's not the Marvel one.
Good job at mentioning as to why Stan Lee and Jack Kirby made their own Superhero version of Thor as well, little to no people at all know he is more powerful than The Hulk and is one of the few characters capable of defeating Hulk along with killing him (and has killed him before) "The only being who would be able to take down the strongest man would be God" said by none other than Stan Lee himself
Interesting...Did not know that. Pls check my comment if you ever see this. Thx for the knowledge
yes and no , Hulk and Thor could increase their power level , so it's more of who would do that first.
8:58 In Norse Mythology, the sound of the goats 'gallop' in the sky was the reason of the sounds of thunder. The goats were magical too: You could kill them, roast them, then eat them. Just keep the bones and skin intact, and with a little Asgardian magic, they can be brought back to life.
I am so glad that they used footage from Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes. I think that cartoon has one of the best interpretations of Thor.
Most awesome on screen Thor there has been, shameful to say since he's portrayed in live action movies by a soft ass actor like chris hemsworth
It a bit ironic that Tom Hiddleston auditioned for Thor in the first place.. And then gets to play Loki. And Loki wants to take Thors place at the throne.
and we still dont know what nick fury whispered to thor to make him unworthy
or how having cancer makes jane worthy of the hammer
Bc marvel is shit
She's a strong independent cancer barer. According to SJW logic she's worthy.
Ok i might be dumb but what is SJW?

+BurnRoddy So basically you? Getting triggered because your man isnt holding a hammer.
Number 1 fact : Thor is the most powerful Avenger.
Thor is my fav avenger, not just coz he is the most powerful but i admire his persona too
Another fact: Hulk is the strongest avenger
@Serving it Cold and then there was brie larson
mubarak aliyu Thor is a god
Number 1.... WHAAAAAAAAAAAT?!?!?! Be honest, who else was a little surprised by that?
I swear on Odins beard.They speak with false tongues.And will be hammered on sight!
For a top 10 facts about thor, this is actually a good list
besides the fact that they didn't really tell us much about Thor from the Norse legends, rather just the Marvel one from the kids movies.
+Anonymous live action version of Thor is so lame compared to the comic version
Badabing Bing Still though, I was expecting this video to be about Ancient Norse legends of Thor carved on stone tablets, not the watered down mainstream version.
+Anonymous Then read a textbook. Seriously, it's not that hard to find non-fiction facts on your own.
icefrout You're right. Thanks.
Thursday is named after him and was originally called Thorsday, a day of thunder. However, over the years the o changed 2 a u.
ROSEMOON
In german it's "Donnerstag", which literally means "day of thunder".
Please change the title to "Top 10 Thor Marvel Facts" as you don't mention anything about his mythology outside of Marvel.
The image for this video is of a comics Thor. What were you expecting from that?
+Just Plain Steve general thor facts "maybe" some marvel facts
America Fuck yeah. Fuck that Denmark shit. THIS IS MERICA

You are so right
i want the Male thor back......Sorry but the male (actual) Thor was an important inspiration in my life as a child...
derjoh1986 he is back..female thor is legacy character..there are two comics boook...
#5 "First Superhero Based on a God" #3 Shows how he first appeared in the Venus comic strip. About a superhero who was meant to be a God. Outstanding work...
Just imagine Thor in DC he could have badass teacups with Wonder Woman and like it would've been so cool
Funny thing is there actually is a Thor in DC who fought alongside Wonder Woman and superman but he is more of a god like being than marvels Thor
lol thor more good in marvel.. dc sucka
*****
what im trying to say is he is more omnipotent and all powerful then marvels. he literally is like the odin of dc.
*****
yeah he fought with both superman and wonder woman for about 300 years or something against demons or something and lasted longer than both of them. i cant remember much though it was a long time ago i read this.
Ya'BoiPaulyH I think DC Thor is basically marvel king Thor
I knew who Donald Blake is before this video and before the movies!
Here is a Fact that i really like:
Thor and Hercules are bitter Rivalries and also good friends. These 2 always conflicted because they were both the number 1 Sons of the 2 most powerful Gods in Marvel, Zeus and Odin. Hercules and Thor may had many battles, but in the Civil War, Hercules admitted that Thor is his Friend and he said that right before Hercules smashed Ragnaroks Head with his own Hammer and killed Ragnarok.
Loki is such an amazing villain, I love him! :D
The current Thor comic with Jane foster as Thor is incredible! It's so good
There is also another one (originally Thor's hammer was not only lifted by the worthies but anyone can Carry it,they changed so it would be cool and powerful and interesting and famous
Here's a fact: Thor actually has red hair and not blonde. But that's just in the actual mythology.
Thor isn't a woman.... She is no more Thor than beta Ray bill was, she simply took over the powers of mjolnir
wielding mjolnir gives you the title of thor so ye thor is a woman.
I loved the Donald Blake reference in the 1st Thor movie.
Thor has been replaced several times in the comics, one time he was replaced by a cyborg clone that went rogue and killed other superheroes in Civil War. He renamed himslef as Ragnarok.
You guys did good on this , I had been afraid their would have been something off.
There is or was, another Thor in the 616 Marvel universe. A mortal, named Red Norvell, who using magic became a red-haired version of Thor. Also Eric Masterson become Thor before becoming the Magical Mace wielding hero Thunderstrike.
Well technically speaking, Loki appeared in the comics 14 years before Thor and sometimes he is portrayed as an Anti-Hero under certain situations...
Wanna be Thor?... JUST EAT ALL OF THE MEATS!!!
Top 10 MCU Thor facts! I'd like an actual THOR facts video!
"I Say Thee Nay!"
I don't hate Jane as Thor but all these changes to characters is getting a little annoying and convoluted
Really man she hulk, female iron man now another female character. I mean I get all the women empowerment thing but don't take away the originality from the character
"ANOTHER" scene always cracks me up, always.
I'm currently watching Thor so I felt that this was appropriate during the break.
Thor for DC actually makes sense, they've had gods in their comics for Decades like Wonder Woman and Shazam
The fact that vision picked up the hammer with one hand is the best part
This pumped me up for the new God of War even more
3:50 I think we all found Loki to be our favorite part of the movie and slightly rooted for him
What about Marvel-Thor's unique powers and abilities?? God blast, Anti-Force, Matter/Energy Manipulation, Warrior's Madness, Top tier strength (stronger than Hulk), Able to control weather W/O Mjolnir, Faster than light speed travel, reaction/battle speed... much more than that. That would not only be specific to him, interesting to those who don't really know about him and also reinforce the fact that he's literally one of the most powerful Marvel superheroes, and I mean TOP.

The thing I respect most about Marvel is their ability to choose the right actors/ actresses for any specific roles . For etc : Chris Hemsworth as Thor , Tom Hiddleston as Loki Chris Evans as Capt , and most iconic , Robert Downey Jr as Iron Man
I was mostly stunned by the #1 fact in the end
it is actually stated in the norse mytholegy that Thor had red hair
By Odin's Beard!
his hammer is terribly well balanced
Thor could of been in the Justice League!?
Dammit Jack Kirby!
This video came out on my birthday!
Happy B-day to you! Happy B-day to you! Happy birthday dear stranger! Happy B-day to you!
Ogga Bob lol
I feel like this should be a top 5 list.
The most intriguing thing about this list is the prospect of Superman and Thor fighting to solve the very popular debate of who would win in a fight. SUPERMAN or THOR.
it would be interesting to see a list of facts of the mythological version of Thor.
Also in no. 6 when talking about Thor and Spidey in Inifinity War, you coulda mentioned Hemsworth put in a good work for Holland to Fiege
Top ten Marvel Loki facts: he's running for prez. :D
I like how he used to have his hammer look like a Hamm-axe it was hammer on one end and axe on the other and was shorter and flatter. And that in a movie he helped different small caused like in one movie he helped people stand up to fisher men that caught whales or something

For a moment I actually hoped this list was going to be about the god, but oh well
Now this is a top 10 list
Exactly what is stopping DC from utilizing Thor, Hercules etc as they do Ares? Its not like Marvel owns the creative rights to a being that was once worshipped. Take Dracula for an example, everyone can use him as well.
Indeed, both DC and Marvel have a Dracula. DC also has a version of Thor. Please read the "ARAK, SON OF THUNDER" series. The DC Thor is THUNOR.
Top 10 Marvel's Thor Facts.
Number 1: Although He is from Scandinavia, He only defends the United States.
Battle of Sokovia
I see the cool thumbnail, the title, I click the video. I see the intro and I click away
It's funny cause Hiddleston was just like Seb Stan, Stan originally auditioned for Cap but got the part of Loki.

Gosh dang I learned some interesting facts about Thor damn!!!!
Number 1 blew my mind.
I have an idea: Top 10 Evil Corporations in Films

Been a comics fan for a half-century... did not know #1.
I love Jane Foster. She is the Lois Lane to Thor IMO. Plus, I love her as Thor.
Absolutely enjoyable facts
Daredevil? Or maybe The Defenders next?
One of the best hero's ever.Also who knew all this about thor.
11. That this version of Thor is more in sync with that of Richard Wagner's idea of Thor than the mythological being.
The only reason there is a female Thor is to appease the feminists
Yeah, it sickens me. That they lied about everyone liking the change is even worse.
Feminists don't give a fuck about comics. Marvel just wanted a larger portion of female readership and Thor is an important enough title to draw in new readers. Jane Foster actually rises above many of Marvel's other female heroes in that she is actually Thor and not merely a female reskin of an existing hero.

Hawkeye, Captain America, Ant-Man, Wasp, Thor, Hulk, and soon Iron Man have all passed the mantle to other people, be it by mischief or design.
***** Thor IS his actual name you brainwashed. It's not a title. Beta ray bill was never called Thor and neither was Storm.
+BitsyTheNinja what i find wrong with it is that they robbed thor of place and even a name. Beta ray bill never changed his name to thor. Thor now only goes by odinson how stupid is that !
+Trevor Cormier Odinson is his name. Thor is what he becomes when he wields Mjolnir. Everyone who wields Mjolnir has the power of Thor while they have it.
Im the only one who thinks that Chris Hemsworth looks like Thor?
OMG SAME!!! XD
Because he has owned the roll like rdj has owned Iron man and Hugh jackman wolverine
DragonRumber nd chris evans as captain america
Ikr justlike ryan to deadpool
Yeah Liam looks more though!
Bonus fact: Thor is from Norway in Norway the thursday is translated to "torsdag" Thor in Norwegian is "Tor" "Torsday". :):):)
thor is also know as mister Noah Syndergaard
They say Thor is the first superhero that is a god...but then Venus is in the next fact before Thor's debut. Hey research
Wow, the 1988 Thor was HOT.
9:04 Actually 'Grinder' is the name of one of his goats (okay, 'Tooth-Grinder' if you want to be really picky) - I'm sure there's a theory that Mjolnir's name is derived from the Viking for 'lightning', which makes total sense.

I am also so much disappointed with the absence of Thor in MCU....
Bonus round Jane is the only wielder that steals name and position of Thor, the other just take powers and clothes like the Thunder God but remain separated entities and identities.
He defeated a celestial, able to kill Thanos, and hes the most POWERFUL avenger.
Number should've been "Deadpool once welded the hammer"
He wielded a fake hammer that Loki made to trick Thor, he never wielded the real thing.
Imagine Chris as Loke and Tom as Thor
I'm trying to but...
Gee
dr. Donald Blake also worked with dr. Stephen strange in the dr.strange animated film.
He fought both Shazam and Superman during the various Marvel/DC crossovers
Originally written for DC.
THAT IS MIND BLOWING
Good point
Number 10 sounded like fan fiction
female Thor, what next....Ironwoman?
yes she's 15 and black
+Eric Rhoden whaaaaaaaaat!!!!?!😨😨😨
+tan da she's not actually she is his prodigy so more like war machine
Somehow made a suit out of scrap she found out

Wouldn't this have made more sense to release this at the same time as Thor 3...?

Could you possibly do an accurate Top 10 Bane facts?
"Top 10 CINEMATIC Thor facts"
Ironically, one of the characters that wielded his hammer was Wonder Woman.
I've heard about that. Doesn't she deem herself too unworthy to wield it?
