It's never mentioned in the films, but I think Asgard is supposed to be some type of alderson disk. A theoretical megastructure that's basically a flat ringworld.

Flat Earth?

[@jlokison]

Ragnarok had happened many times before, the Asgard we see in the movies is not the original Asgard. As for the water and atmosphere spilling off the sides it gets collected by Asgardian tech on the underside of the disc and recirculated. Not the most efficient design but due to Asgardian technology they tend towards form over function because they can get away with it.

[@aguy7848]

It depends on their population both after Infinity War and Endgame, with the upper estimate at around 1.5 million at the high estimate to as low as a few thousand. It would take years to rebuilt, but over time new Asgardians would be born and perhaps grow up and turn the small fishing town of Tonsberg into a bustling new city, New Asgard which was seen in the comics.

And then Thanos blew up their ship. :-/

[@jlokison]

Only half the ship, if you look at the Statesman in Thor Ragnarok and the ship at the beginning of Infinity War you realize that it's only the front half of the Statesman. This makes sense as Thor says in Infinity War that Thanos killed half the Asgardians. It also explains why Valkyrie, Korg and Myck weren't there. It is also the basis of the Hulk was really Loki theory, placing Banner on the other half of the ship... even though Banner had no emotional attachment to Valkyrie... but also shows little to Natasha when they meet back up.

[@rafmeinster]

They were survivors. They all made it to Norway.

[@aguy7848]

It has most certainly been a turbulant and heartbreaking time for them, but the Asgardians still live.

[@davidbergfors6820]

I was expecting more on the dark history Hela alluded to, although I am happy to see that the focus was on the redeemed Asgardian stewardship. can we expect a second video? maybe something like "the truth behind Asgards might"

[@froggygamer1716]

I've always been curious if Asgard was actually the most powerful world in the Galaxy and if Oden was alive and Asgard was not destroyed if they would have been able to defeat thanos. Personally I think Thanos was scared shitless of Asgard and that's why almost immediately after they were destroyed he chose to strike for the infinity stones

[@occultatumquaestio5226]

From "By Odin's Beard" to "By Thor's Beard". I wonder if we will ever get "By Marc's Beard".

Planets do not exert gravity through centrifugal force, but through the warping of space/time. Centrifugal force, on a planetary scale, would throw everything off-not hold it on.

[@jlokison]

I've seen a lot of comments about all the Asgardians being killed at the beginning of Infinity War. I suggest people rewatch Ragnarok and Infinity War and pay close attention to the appearance of the Statesman, the ship used as the Asgardian refugee vessel. Only half the ship was destroyed by Thanos, if you look at the Statesman in Thor Ragnarok and the ship at the beginning of Infinity War you realize that it's only the front half of the Statesman. This makes sense as Thor says in Infinity War that Thanos killed half the Asgardians. It also explains why Valkyrie, Korg and Myck weren't there. It is also the basis of the Hulk in Infinity War was really Loki theory, placing Banner on the other half of the ship... even though Banner had no emotional attachment to Valkyrie, Hulk did. Banner also shows little emotional attachment to Natasha when they meet back up. Banner could just be an emotional mess which is probably true no matter where he really was.

Planets' centrifugal force is not really appropriate. That's the thing that pushes you off the planet, originating in the rotation, and gravity is what keeps you there. Gravity is much stronger than the centrifugal force, obviously.
