i do love that even though loki solves most of the problems he is still hated because he causes most of them in the first place

[@ConnorRunda]

To be quite frank, most of the stories seem to have Odin as the main deciever of others. Loki gets a worse rap than hes owed imo

[@jakesimpson3373]

@@ConnorRunda He did cause ragnarok though, I think most hate is warranted

Loki really is just that main character in the sitcom who just causes absolute chaos and has to go out of his way to fix it while also hurting himself in the process.

[@orbracha25]

Honestly, I feel like most teenage boys (let's face it, every Norse god's mental age ranges from 5 to 15 and never leaves that range) would have done the same

[@Mario_Angel_Medina]

"Yeah, next time someone treatens your life, try dying" a quote for the ages

[@DanielC01000100]

This is hilarious. Props to you for redrawing all the old gods

[@jolly_39]

I just love how Loki casually forgets they can shapeshift into a fly and thus Thjazi's threat is technically quite empty. Talking about turning into flying animals, why does Loki never turn into a regular ol' bird to travel long distances and keeps borrowing Freya's coat instead?

[@ecurewitz]

I wanted to know why Ok I just didn’t turn into a bird when Thjazi threatened to drop him. It would have prevented a whole lot of mess, but then again, we wouldn’t get to see Lokis junk get tied to a goat

[@cancerguy5435]

Mythological plot holes. When you're talking about omnipotent eternal beings and your main source is a single parchment that's half torn apart it's quite difficult to avoid them.

[@julianvdr8808]

Rules of transformation in Norse mythology are very slippery, probably because the old Norse people consisted of a lot of different tribes/clans/villages/whatever who all interpreted their mythology in their own ways. Loki shapeshifts most often and often seems to be able to do it whenever he wants. He turned into a salmon to hide from the Æsir after killing Baldr, turned into a horse to "distract" another horse from his work on Asgard's wall, and he fought Heimdall while they were both in the form of seals. That's just a few examples. But other gods seem to be able to do it as well, even though they don't do it often. Like I said, Heimdall turned into a seal to fight Loki. But then for some unknown reason Freyja really needs that cloak of hers to transform into an eagle. Maybe there's different rules for different types of animals, or maybe all transformations require special items but we just don't have any sources stating it. The sad truth is we'll probably never find out because so much of Norse culture was destroyed during the christianisation of Europe. Vikings didn't even write much down to begin with.

[@Marriwil]

The coat looks cool

[@eoincampbell1584]

@@cancerguy5435 Norse gods more than most aren't characterized as particularly omnipotent. For example this story centers on the fact that the only reason they are immortal is because of a specific resource they consume that keeps them youthful, and it is generally depicted that they can be injured and die through normal means; Baldr was only immune to most weapons because Frigg asked almost every substance in existence not to harm him and they agreed. Compare to Greek mythology where the gods are all assumed to be completely immortal, can only be imprisoned not truly ended, and even have built in healing factor like how Prometheus regrows his liver.

[@projekttaku1]

Loki is legit the comedic relief of norse mythology.

That's not true. He learns how to cause bigger, better problems.

[@janozarowski4961]

Will there be more Egyptian Mythology episodes? I'm asking because I read that the Egyptians had end of the world story, and I'm wondering if that was true? Book I read that from was in Polish but the source was provided and it was something like "Papyrus containing Dialoge betwen Osiris and Ptah".

[@History-yq5ou]

There’s a dialogue between Osiris and Ra after what will happen after the world ends in the Pyramid Texts. It is said that Nun will consume everything again and Osiris and Ra will survive in the form of snakes.
