In recent Marvel comics it was revealed that Thor's mother was not Freya/Frigga, but Gaia. Fans were outraged, but, based on what you just told us, it seems Marvel rectified an error they made when creating their version of Thor and are now sticking more to the original myth. *EDIT: In even more recent comics they decided to change this once again, and now Thor's mother seems to be the Phoenix-force (the all powerful entity that once possessed Jean Grey, which led to 2 failed movies).

Haven't heard that story, but it might have been a troll and not a dwarf, since trolls are typically the ones that turn to stone in the sun. I've never heard of that being a thing for dwarfs.

You tell my favorite stories. The one about Magni is one of those. Actually I am fond of almost all of the stories I've heard of Thor, but I got a kick out of little Magni being so strong. I've always wondered why Heimdall didn't suggest Loki take on the form of Freya. We know he's a shapechanger. But I think now it's so he could better use his quick wits. If it was to have a laugh at Thor I think there would have been more funny business about the dress, instead it's addressed more like the BBWolf in Granny's night dress.

Don't know why Thor was mad at the serpent, he didn't even have a say in the whole cat thing. He probably didn't even realize what was going on and was spooked about being suddenly lifted

[@StarSeedAcademy8]

The serpent is never good he’s an enemy of Thor

[@franklinbonnefoy2295]

@@StarSeedAcademy8 That literally doesn't answer my question. Thor and the serpent only had two interactions. The first time the serpent had NO SAY in the cat illusion. The giant was trying to trick Thor and Loki so he put an illusion on the serpent. The serpent never agreed to this and as far as he knew, he was still circling the planet and was suddenly being lifted. Thor being mad at him for being a cat that couldn't be picked up was not his doing. Therefore, his second interaction with wanting revenge makes 0 sense. The serpent did nothing wrong and here Thor is just messing with him. I already know that the Aesir aren't the best of beings to begin with but this doesn't seem right to me. How are they enemies when neither of them were at fault the first time? I know attempting to put logic towards something like this is useless but I can't help myself. It's just.... Stupid. Almost as bad as the Greek/Roman mythology. Not as bad, but kinda. Like Loki's children being cast aside to avoid the apocalypse only to solidify the apocalypse. I guess what I'm trying to say is that I hate self fulfilling prophecy and stuff like this without a reason behind it

[@StarSeedAcademy8]

@@franklinbonnefoy2295 What has to be understood is this is not the first incident between Thor & the serpent. Just as ancient civilizations there is always a serpent who is at war with the side that is for good for example Egyptian stories. I was simplifying it that the serpent is his enemy so it doesn’t matter whether the serpent appeared to know or not that it was part of the trick on him. Most of these stories are not to be taken literally, sometimes things are symbolizing energy, planetary events & other things.

@@StarSeedAcademy8 I know. I have a hard time remembering that. I tend to overanalyze things and get caught up like I have now.

@@franklinbonnefoy2295 it’s okay another part of that is because some people don’t realize that they’ve had past lives related to information like this which they become passionate about it & don’t realize they are or why.

But about Thor's birth mother is a bit became a bit tricky to pint point who she is because in Jason Aaron's Avengers run Phoenix force got reveal as the real Thor mother but again in newest issue in Donny Cates's Thor run, Thor appear to be actually Gaea/Mother Earth's birth son because in that issue Thor call out Gaea help and call her mother, in the end he regain the power to control earth.

Hi. I love your videos. And I was wondering if you could do please do videos of Native American mythology explained, I am half Native on my mom's side. It truly fascinating and interesting. Just like Scottish mythology or Irish. All of it is deeply fascinating. Thank you for your videos. I love to learn, especially mythology, and I mean any kind of mythology I can get my hands on. Hehehe. Anyway. Thank you for your videos.

Fun fact: In Iceland, Norse mythology is taught in schools, especially from the book "Snorra Edda". (I know this from personal experience). We are also taught to read and write in old Norse runes called FUÞARK.

I loooooove these videos. Lore and myths fascinate me, so I’m always happy for a Jon Solo video. Also, nice nod to Star Wars near the end 😉
