Note how the one God capable of seeing the entire "wedding" from Asgard was the one who suggested Thor cross-dress.
Why else would you sugest it?😂 Also I love Loki being a notorious shapeshifter and nobody thinking/suggesting it.
@@LukasJampenI think even if someone suggested it, Loki would say no because he wouldn't want the whole horse thing happening again LMAO
@@lunad2595 fair enough
Also, the fact that no one was able to tell that it was Thor in disguise has some interesting implications.
@@LucreciaCrescentIsBestGirl Thor is just really good with make up?
The most hilarious part of the Thor disguises as Freya is that it means that Thor is canonically pretty enough to convincingly pass as the goddess of beauty and fertility.
Or that the Giant they tricked had never actually seen what Freya looks like.
Small note, the "Legend Summarized" playlist focuses on some specific books. Some of Red's best works on mythologies are instead in the "Miscellaneous Myths" playlist, where she focusses on a specific character or a short story.
For example, there is one 27min video on Loki specifically, which goes into the details about "what we actually know and what are the theories about what could have been misinterpreted". And there is another earlier video (and shorter: 5min) on the story "Loki's Wager".
or the video on Hermes
i need not say more
It also explicithizes (explicates? Explicitly says) that the ‘suspected’ co-opting of Norse mythos to Christianity was entirely on purpose, might have featured Loki as a _not_ Satan role, and even the Edda being phrased as it was all tied back to like one to three dudes tasked with converting AC to DC with no current.
It's a small detail, but I couldn't help but giggle at Loki's mug. "Best horse mum" 🤣 (Loki gave birth to Odin's eight-legged horse Sleipnir after shapeshifting into a mare to lure the stallion Svadilfari away from the builder who was building the fortifications for the Aesir, thus making him unable to claim his payment of Freya, the Sun and the Moon).
Mom jokes actually have a long and well-established literary history. Some of them show up in Shakespeare.
21:14 It is something very common, although nowadays warmed wine is mostly consumed.
Remember that they are in the NORTH, it is very cold. In addition, the flavor changes and depending on the brand the flavor is very good.
As a fan of Norse Myth, I can kinda clarify some things that Red skipped for Brevity's sake.
- Tolkein took the names of the Dwarves and used them in LOTR because he was a HUGE fan of Norse myth despite being a devout Christian. In fact, his translation of the Poetic and Prose Eddas among other Nordic texts are what we are using now for reference. And the reason he used them in LOTR is because he wanted an English mythological epic featuring aspects of cultures that had contributed to the history of England, including the Danes (may the soul of King Cnut the Great rest with Christ in Heaven.)
- The murder of Ymir is pretty big because A.) Odin, Vili and Ve were children of the Jotun Bestla and the God Borr, which kinda made them the first "Morally Neutral" thing, B.) Ymir was sort of the Allfather of all Jotuns, seeing as they came from him, and C.) The death of Ymir was what allowed the Aesir to create Mankind from an Ash and Elm (yeah weird story.) So basically the Jotuns want revenge for grampa Ymir's murder but that vengeance will brutally destroy all of Earth.
-The reason why King Thrym bought Thor's disguise was because, and I'm dead serious, he had terrible eyesight. And for extra laughs: Thor hated Every. Single. Moment. He was in that dress. For extra Extra laughs: when Thrym grew suspicious from Thor eating and drinking a literal year's worth of produced foods, the eyes burning with HATRED, and even his extreme strength; Loki chalked it up to, and I'm still dead serious here: "Pre-Wedding Jitters."
-The Giant, aka The Master Builder, basically wanted to take over the world with the Sun, Moon and Freyja, who is a Vanir goddess of Beauty, Fertility and WAR! (Because the Nords wanted at least 5 war gods on hand at all times) and Thor only killed him when he revealed himself to be a Jotun... after coming back from a Giants Genociding vacation in celebration of getting Mjolnir. Plus, this was how Odin got the eight-legged horse named Slepinir because of a series of events that Loki would terrorize me for recounting. Like, "make me beg for death and deny me such relief" terror.
- Odin as a god was also the hunter of knowledge and wisdom because of one thing: he wanted to know how to prevent Ragnarok. He stabbed himself with a spear and hung himself from a tree to learn Runic magic, gouged out amd sacrificed his eye to a well to gain wisdom of things beyond his comprehension, revived the head of Mimir to plan for the end, stole the blood mead made from the knowledge god Kvasir to gain artistry; you get it, he covets smarts.
- The "Threatening to kill Gerth" thing was changed to match the death of Freyr by changing it to having Freyr's sword be his wedding gift to her.
- Loki, outside of being the Trickster god, was also the father of Monsters. Two notable ones are Jormungandr, the world serpent that's eating his own tail and would have eaten Midgard, and Fenrir, the Great Wolf who ate Tyr's hand and would eat and kill Odin. Don't worry, Vidarr would avenge him like all good sons would.
- There's a theory I remember hearing that the Ferryman was Odin just trying to f*** with his kid, because Loki ain't the only jokester.
- A number of Aesir are descended from Jotuns, like Odin (mother was Bestla, a Mountain Jotun), Thor (his mother was Jord, a Jotun Giantess that was the personification of Earth, hence why he's also the guardian of Midgard), and Tyr. And one thing Red forgot to mention about Hymir: he hates Thor for A.) Being the one that's killed THOUSANDS of Jotuns, and B.) For pretty much eating three of his five cows and using a fourth's head as fishing bait. That horde of Jotuns that chased both Tyr and Thor was actually led by Hymir.
- The Master Sword comparison to Mjolnir isn't quite true as it's more like you'd rip your arms off trying to lift it. In fact, Thor uses special equipment to help him lift it: Megingjord, which is basically a magic power-lifting belt, and Jarngreipr, which are special iron gauntlets that help with handling the damned thing and catching it when it flies back.
- Red also HEAVILY played down Freyja's response to Thrym's demands. What she REALLY did was get so furious that she hucked her amber amulet to the ground, shattered it, and the flying chunks SELF IMMOLATED AND CAUGHT THE HALLS OF ASGARD ON FIRE!!! Yeah, there's a very good reason she's one of five gods of war.
For further Nordic fun, I definitely recommend watching Jake Doubleyoo's series of Norse myth vids alongside Red's Norse myth vids. For extra fun, I recommend Brothers of Metal, who retell parts of Norse Myth as Power Metal songs.
*Had to correct stuff based on Odin's parentage and Loki being a fire god. My bad, I apologize.
I loved most of this, but you made a common modern error. The Loki association of Loki/Lopt as a god of fire is unequivocally rejected by the majority of Norse experts. Extensive analysis of the surviving texts and oral traditions provides no substantiation for such a claim. The confusion between Loki and the fire god Logi, perpetuated by a mistranslation, has been thoroughly debunked by scholars, even dating back to the 19th century.
Loki is distinctly characterized as a the creator of fishing nets, a provocateur of stories, a being of deception, and the manipulator of fate's intricate knots. However, there is no basis to assert that he holds any dominion over fire. This misguided association is akin to the modern-day fallacy of equating Hades with the Devil and fire, despite the explicit contradictions within the remaining myths and oral traditions themselves.
In light of the comprehensive research and scholarly consensus, it is imperative to acknowledge that Loki's role as a fire god finds no support in the authentic Norse mythology sources.
@@lucariomew365 Wasn't Logi just an illusion created by Utgarda-Loki?
@@b3rz3rk3r9 Contrary to popular belief, Logi (aka Halogi) was not an illusion but a jotun with a documented lineage. Moreover, the Icelandic, Swedish, Norwegian, and Danish translations of his name can be traced back to an archaic German word meaning "blaze" or "flames." In Gylfaginning, Logi's consuming nature during the eating competition, even devouring the wooden plates, further emphasizes his association with fire. In that same story, Utgard-Loki explains that Logi personifies wildfire itself, symbolizing literal fire embodied as a jotun by using a play on words. This interpretation is often misunderstood by modern audiences, who take it too literally (falsely assuming that Logi wasn't a real being).
In the Icelandic Flateyjarbók, specifically the tale called Hversu Noregr byggðist, Logi's lineage is described. He is portrayed as the son of Fornjótr, and each of Logi's siblings possesses dominion over different forces of nature. One rules over wind, another over water and the seas, while Logi himself is attributed as the god of fire. Logi is also said to have a wife named Glod, who is also a jotun and sometimes referred to as a goddess of embers through marriage. Together, they are believed to have two children, although I can't recall the specifics (I think he had 2 daughters, but it's been a minute).
Furthermore, in the thorsteins saga Víkingssonar, Logi's full name is mentioned as Halogi. It is worth noting that a ruling family in northern Norway has made claims of descent from Logi. While this may seem peculiar, it aligns with the common tendency of royalties and monarchies around the world to assert their lineage from various pantheons of gods, using it as a justification for their rule. In the case of this particular royal family, they attribute their radiantly vibrant hair (I assume they are gingers), beautiful features, and muscular physiques as evidence of their divine ancestry to the god of fire.
It is important to examine these sources and contextualize Logi's character based on the information available, acknowledging his association with fire as an integral aspect of his mythological attributes.
@@lucariomew365 Wow, I didn't know that. Thank you kindly.
If you boil/warm up mead its called: Warmed - Enjoying it warmed is very popular with spiced flavours, particularly in winter time. A warmed Spiced Mead can release a lot of the amazing aromatics of the spices used and can lift the experience to new heights.
I found a recipe for warm spiced red wine that I break out around Christmas. Maybe I should try it with Mead instead this year.
I believe you can actually achieve something similar with specific True Ales, the one's that work are, if I'm remembering correctly, Golden Ales, Indian Pale Ales and Red Ale, the last of which will work the most like Mead, as they tend to be sweet in a caramel/butterscotch type way.
@@kiritotheabridgedgod4178 That'll be another one to try, thank you :)
IIRC, Loki actually said to Baldr's mother something like "I'm the reason you'll never see Baldr ride home to your hall".
Really, if there's one poem from the Edda you read, this one is high on the list.
Fun fact about Mjolnir, it’s so powerfully destructive that even Thor needs to wear special gauntlets so the hammer doesn’t kill or maim him for extended exposure to it.
Red has an entire video dedicated to Loki in the Miscellaneous Myths series that is one of my favorites Red has ever done (along with the Persephone and Dionysus videos). You should check that one out because it goes a lot deeper and even talks about the actual history
The episode on the deep dive on Loki is great too and put in perpective a lot of stuff in the Norse Mythology as we know it in current day.
Next do osps fully loki video. Also day 2 of recommending puppet history and suggesting begin with the first episode.
"What's Opera, Doc?" (the Merrie Melodies cartoon referenced) spoofed three Wagner operas. The relevant one to "Kill da wabbit!" is "Die Walküre" from the Ring Cycle.
And apparently, a LOT of our current "oh, look at the Viking stuff!" clichés come from Wagnerian opera.
And for the Final Fantasy crowd, Jörmungandr has a lot of names, including "the Midgard Serpent" (Miðgarðsormr). And way back in 1997 the English localization team was bad so they came up with "Midgar Zolom" because they transliterated the katakana (ミドガルズオルム) instead of Googling it, because Google didn't exist yet.
1:33 Well I mean it makes sense, the Greek gods were basically their version of celebrities, with new stories emerging as the times went.
Red has actually done quite a few videos about Norse mythology in her Miscellaneous Myths series, which typically focus on one specific story as opposed to collections of stories like this, you should definitely check some of them out. I would recommend, Loki's Wager, Ragnarok, Utgard-Loki, and The Great Norse Seal Fight.
Not to forget the more recent video about the Nine Realms.
(Also a few Sagas)
6:22 The woman who wrote Peter Rabbit would frequently come up with character names by wandering through the local cemetary, and choosing names from gravestones she liked.
So about the Thor vs Ferryman.
The ferryman is Odin.
He just fucks around with Thor for a bit.
father and son bonding
You should continue on the other Norse and Loki related entries as they can add context into what's discussed here.
Agree
I recommend reading both the Poetic and Prose Edda. While I doubt Red meant to mislead, Baldr's Druama does not include Frigg making an oath with all things to keep Baldr safe (that bit is in the Prose Edda) as that poem is more of Odin going to the Norse underworld to seek out a fortune teller to decipher Baldr's dreams where he learns that Baldr would be killed by his blind brother Hoth.
21:00 hot wine and hot beer are actually pretty ubiquitous in parts of Europe, mostly in winter
It's not uncommon here in the US either... mulled wine, spiced cider for winter and fall...
The burning of the library of Alexandria was not nearly as bad as people think, a lot of it was already copied in other libraries and such. Blue mentions it in his History Maker Sappho video and Red I believe says it in another video
She didn't say it, but Freyr had to gave up his sword to the servant as a prize for going to the Giantess. That sword is one of the most powerful weapons in Norse mythology, like the Mjölnir, because it's able to fight on it's own, so the owner of the sword don't have to hold it. So Freyr gave up his most valuable weapon for love/happiness and that's why he will die during Ragnarok by Surtr, the fire giant. Practically he gave his life for love. Even that Freyr fell in love was his fault, since he sit on Odin's throne from where he watches over the 9 worlds, and bacause of this he noticed the giantess and fell in love so hard, nothing else could make him happy beside if she married him.
About the giant who built the wall his horse is sleipnir father the eight legged horse who loki gave birth to in his mare form after distracting it with his fimine wiles yeah weird
1:46 Often in support of their own political views. Many of the "the gods are petty assholes" stories are from Ovid, who had a pretty strong anti-authority bias.
6:05 Yep. The name Gandalf is the name of a dwarf in Norse myth. Also, it means "Wand Elf".
6:54 Humans were made by Oden, Vili and Ve from an Ashe and Elm tree, each of the three gods took part, giving a particular gift.
33:00 Kinda like what happened in a lot of places Islam took hold where previously Christianity was the major religion, like Egypt, Syria, Palestine, etc.
A lot easier to convert people when you convince them it's basically their old religion with a couple patches and bug fixes rather than something completely new and unrelated.
Incorporating local traditions makes the transition much more seamless, hence holidays like Día de los Muertos, Halloween, Christmas, Easter, etc.
3:37 One of the main running jokes in the MCU Avengers films is that Thor, due to his long hair, gets mistaken for a woman.
Just like most of Greek mithology can be summed up with the words "then Zeus got horny", a good part of Norse mithology can be summed up with "then Loki had an idea". xD
Perfect continuation with Legends Summarized, I absolutely love this video. The nearly best follow-up: "Loki" - yes, they have a video just about Loki!
@1:15 Oh that gets brought up in another video about Norse Myths, specifically the Great Seal Fight. And Blue mentions the burning of the Library of Alexandria as not being the sole reason we lost a lot of ancient Greek texts in his video on Sapho.
@19:26 Oh, this is not the first time Red has encountered an old-timey "Yo Mama"/"I did your mom" Joke, another coming from the Bard himself in Titus Andronicus.
@33:04 Literally this is covered in Red's video on Loki. Note that both the Poetic and Prose Edas were written after the region had been Christianised for centuries, but the old gods were still referenced and acknowledged as part of the people's inheritance. Kinda like Hawaii for those who have been there and experienced the culture.
If you want to continue Norse Mythology, here are suggested videos:
Loki's Wager,
Utgard-Loki,
Ragnarok
Loki
I would add the Nine Worlds video as well.
I notice many of these are basically, "Loki (or someone confusingly sharing his name) gets up to _Shenanigans_ (tm)." I approve.
since you're starting on the Norse angle, I suggest reds videos about Loki specifically, the story of utgard-loki, Loki's wager, Ragnarok which is kind of a shorty, and the recent one about the 9 realms! very enlightening and cool
The main ones that Red and Blue do together are the Detail Diatribes, which tend to be very long (around an hour).
Airier: *tries to pronounce a name*
Them: HOW DARE YOU!! My mother was a SAINT!!
18:52 Why do I have this feeling, the bootman was Loki shape-shiftet.
Who just wanted to troll his nephew a bit.
I'm probably wrong but I think it would fit his character.
Actually the boatman was Odin, who was trolling him as revenge for hogging all the loot the last time they killed a giant.
BUT she didn't do the one bout Loki turning into a Mare to steal the stallion that was helping the ice giant build the walls for Asgard, and then coming home a year later with a eight legged foal he berthed.
Over time some of this will get revised as Red digs deeper into the whole Snorri Sturluson thing.
Sure others have mentioned, but highly recommend the Loki video as a follow up to this. It talks about a lot of the mysteries, gives some more historical context, and also corrects a mistake or two that was made in this video.
Don’t get to happy about the Regious and the two Edda’s since they were all written post-Christianisation of the north so they all have to be taken with a heavy pinch of salt
So... that whole 'distract the giant building the wall' was not really how it played out.....
Loki didn't fight the guy, he just lured away the guys horse so he couldn't haul enough masonry fast enough. On a totally unrelated note I'm sure... it was shortly after this that Odin got his eight legged steed Slepnir....
In the Edda, Loki is also not Thor's adoptive brother, but became the blood-brother of Odin and simply hung out a lot of Thor, going on adventures together.
I'm sure I'm not gonna be the only one that mentions this, but there are a few videos that go a lot morein depth in these stories. For example there's a whole video on Loki, Ragnarok and some other stories like Loki's Wager and Utgard-Loki. I really recomend watching those. There's also The Saga of Grettir and a fairly recent video on The Nine(?) Realms.
3:40 “Chick” as in not Chris Hemsworth level hot. (Also the Jane Foster Mighty Thor is comic accurate so that little rant is kinda weird).
11:08 Jove (as in Roman Zeus) not Job
Also Red has clarified that some stuff she has said in this video are wrong like Loki being a fire Jotun.
Jane Foster is not Thor. Thor is Thor. Jane wielding Thor's hammer and being a superhero for a while was an interesting idea, but the writers ruined it by insisting on her being called Thor when that's his literal name, not a superhero identity.
If you're interested in Ragnarok, Red did another video covering specifically that myth.
There are multiple gods that survive Raganrok, for example Thor's two sons Modi and Magni.
good choice.
18:38 on behalf of us Canadians were sorry for the smoke
Notes.
- the diff between the eddas does not come down to one rhymes and the other doesn't. Red said that as shorthand (and also as a pun) because the truth is more complicated than the scope of the video.
Case and point, the Prose Edda was written in part to teach old norse poetry and poetic style and also, old norse poetry does relies MUCH more on alliteration then rhymes.
- Re colours in old norse (and any old languages) colours are not one to one named in English. Best to not take old language translations of colours litterally.
- re The Hammer.
The poems are pretty in-specific on how many of these magic items work. Most "rules" were either conjecture or straight up made up for whatever adaption.
1:09 The loss of ancient knowledge is overwhelming when you think about it, but the Library of Alexandria gets far more attention than it should. It's more of a symbol for all that lost material.
-There's no proof that it ever burned at all: the thing about it burning when Julius Caesar was in Egypt is a modern interpretation of the known fact that some buildings in the harbor of Alexandria *did* burn during a battle against Cleopatra's brother, among which there may have been one of the Library's annex building.
-The Library probably just wasted away over time, due to neglect and lack of state funding caused by the small growing pains the Roman Empire was going through.
-There were a lot of other ancient libraries whose existence is completely overshadowed by the one in Alexandria: the Library of Pergamon (modern-day Turkey), Constantinople (Istanbul), and of course Rome and Athens. Like Alexandria, what ultimately killed a lot of them is what threatens a lot of libraries today: neglect and underfunding.
Kaz Rowe has a great vid which deconstructs the myth of the Library of Alexandria and explains what historians think probably happened given the scarcity of sources for the late Antique to early medieval period.
20:54 probably ail was drunk warm because the area Norse mythology comes from is really cold most of the year.
OSP Red: Utgard-Loki. (Thor's terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day. Loki is not Utgard-Loki, but Loki is there)
24:15 so... Red gets this wrong too. No, it won't kill you if you're not strong enough. You have to understand that mjolnir is one of the results of a bet Loki ends up making with a pair of dwarves, Brok and Sindri. He bet the dwarf brothers that they couldn't make gifts greater than the gifts Loki had comissioned from the dwarf king for the Asgards to apologize for Loki-shenanigans. (He does this a lot; Loki does a prank, prank goes too far, Loki goes on a quest to make up for prank) The prize the bet Loki makes with the dwarves is his head, and since nothing irrates a dwarf more than saying their work is subpar to someone else's they readilly agree. Unfortunately for Loki, Brok and Sindri's gifts are supper rad, so in an effort to win, Loki disrupts the crafting process of the last gift, Mjolnir. This causes Mjolnir to come out with a flaw in its design. Essentially, Mjolnir was meant to be a two-handed battle maul for Thor, but the handle came out too short and could only be weilded with one hand. Basically, Thor got a two-handed weapon, designed for him, that could only be comfortably weilded with one hand. Thor gets around this by having a glove and belt that doubles his strength and grip.
One of her most recent videos goes into the "9" worlds
I mean, I've never been in the area or even the time period, but I assume room temperature ale for the Norse is frozen solid so I get why they need it warmed. Then again, they're gods so whatever I guess
it also could refer to mead, which is honey wine; warmed wine doesn't wound bad (I don't drink tho)
@@DDlambchop43 I don't drink either 😅
If you are looking for videos of blue & red together there’s the detailed diatribe series where they geek out about stuff
0:37 D'aulaire's Book of Greek Myths was THE formative book for me back in elementary school; I've been studying mythology and the cultures of the world ever since! To a hobbyists' degree, anyway.
in case nobody caught it, that "doth mother know you're wearing her drapes" bit with Thor is a take from the first Avengers movie.
Serapeum of Alexandria was the back up to the Library of Alexandria, holding copies of most of the Library's contend and it was destroyed when Christianity became the Roman Empires official religion.
Fun fact the Nordic languages have 3 additional letters
Ä å and ö
I dont know any english words that use those sounds and they are just read as A or O wich is not right
24:35 your wife would probably like the video of Red and Blue playing Breath of the Wild.😊
had a friend in the army that had family from Norway always had Spiced Mead sent to him for his birthday best drink i had in the army 😁
Not Job (Hiob, guy who g-d punishes in the worst discussion of theodicy in the talmud/old testament), Jove (Iupiter), aka Rome Zeus.
The cosmic cow is there because the cow came first... she licked on the salt-flavoured ice of the frozen ocean and licked and licked until uncovering the giant Ymir.
On the burning of alexandria thing
We at the very least have about half of the books and scrolls from that libary
Simply because while it was the largest and most notorious libary of the time period it wasnt the only one and it was common practice to copy entire books
So while we are certainly missing a good number of works stored in the libary we arnt missing nearly as much as people think we are
If you want more tts content, there is a number of tts adjacent content by individual members if the Alfabusa crew, like Stringstorm, Karl the Deranged, Eliphas the Inheritor, 40k Theories, ThunderPsyker, Zorin the Bear, and Vindicare Assassin, among others.
And if you want more Warhammer content checkout Five(ish) minute lore and Mistakes of the Emperor, both by Old Man, as well as anything by PancreasNoWork, MajorKill, and Arch. They all four make great content that is both informative and entertaining.
Never heard of wassail I take it? Used to be more popular, now you only see it among diehard traditionalists. Most recipes you find nowadays are actually mulled ciders, the originals would've used ale or brown beer.
31:30 Hades is the God of the Underworld, which is also named Hades.
23:45 see the thing about this one, it WAS Loki’s fault, the giant didn’t steal it, Loki lost it in a bet (because as my reconstructionist Nordic pagan friend put it, he is the god of buying on margin)
dude... hot beer (regular 5% one) with ginger is perfect for cold winter days. and guess where Nords live. up north where is cold for most of year
Well her name is hel not hell to be more clear also she is loki daughter and her half is like 2 face half alive and half dead some time people call her Hela .
I am lukcy I have a guy who made an entire series about Norse mythology in my mother tounge, from begining to end, so I know most of the crazy stuff that happens in those myths.
In one story, Freya slept with multiple dwarves to get a necklace from them
11:05 First, Red said Jove, not Job, Jove being a Roman God. Second, Job is NOT Yahweh, or Jehovah, the Abrahamic God, but is the focus of the oldest written book of the Bible/Torah, aptly named the Book of Job. This is probably where the cult of Yahweh started to split from other Semitic deities at the time.
You should watch OSP's Loki video next! It's really interesting!
In American Gods you see a myth actuate Odin.
I think Wukong and Loki would be GREAT friends 😂😂
23:55 and according to legend even Thor has to wear a pair of special magic gloves and a magic belt to wield it.
NORTH MYTHOLOGY!?! I'm crying 😂😂😂😂
Mythology accurate Thor+OSP Sun Wukong=Dragonball Goku
If you want to know more about how Marvel butchered the Norse mythology, there’s a video by The Mythology Guy where he watches the first Thor and Avengers movies and lists the various inaccuracies. It’s pretty funny. If you like it, you’d probably also enjoy his video on the movie Hercules.
If you like history... you do know that Mr.Tex of the BlackPantsLegion has released a new video called Tex Talks History... it is the first one and is about a man called Christmas and the "plane" he made.
For current day reference, Japanese sake is also served warm.
I thought it was served at body temp, like 90 degrees.
Breath of the kingdom
11:00 Jove is the Roman name/ version of Zeus.
I thought it was Jupiter? Or is it just a variation of the same name?
@@Airier from what I remember he was known as both (yes, after a quick google search I found he was referred to as both.)
@@Airier Jehovah is another name meaning god with a capital g, hence Jehovah Witness.
yeah this is deffo an interesting video and yeah Odin was the Funny man of the norse
3:55 She also got better, because comics.
after this video i just notice that your facial hair style almost looks similar to the Tiwaz (rune) for Tyr
Jove is another name for Jupiter iirc
My Brazilian portuguese brain wants to pronuncie It as "Vo-lus-pa" but i'm pretty sure it's wrong XD
Loki spewing random insults at the end isn't as nonsense as it seems. Sure, he's doing an awful job of it, by dint of just pulling burns out of his ass, but what he's SUPPOSED to be soing is actually an ancient Norse practice known as _Flyting_ wherein the participants took turns insulting one another in rhyme until one or the other got so pissed off that they couldn't respond.
That's right... ANCIENT NORSE RAP BATTLES!
Thanks for this reaction.
Marvel should make an Series out of these Stories...
Better than anything the Writer could produce
11:21 One of the reasons the Romans thought of him as the equivalent to Hermes.
Tolkien took a lot of things from Norse like city names around here translated to English is like half the cities in Lotr. Actually weapons from the Viking age are super well done and strong its thought that the Norse mixed blood or similar into the process and unknowingly made a steel like sword which is why we keep finding swords in pretty good condition all things considered, that not to say the made actually made steel they didn't just better iron sword and the process wasn't understood so the swords came in all sorts of strengths. Gerth not Girth. Marriages in Viking society had a lot more rules and laws attached like they could get divorced and if he was not a prober man that satisficed her she could leave with his stuff first when Christianity came did a lot of those laws go away
Modern humans I made fanfiction. Ancient humans I made fanfiction. Humans will human
Well, Airier, the only ones that lose Norse mythology then the Germans are the Japanese. Like they are serious fans of Norse mythology to the point I would not be surprised if they incorporated Norse into their pantheon.
Yes..... Sadly it is Balder who is his favorite son not Thor
Loki's insult to Freya was a bit sugarcoted here.
Airier, what did you think of Fate strange fake whispers of the dawn
do her loki video next
