Thor Goes Fishing - Norse Mythology Explained

[@MeliesCinemagician]

I never knew the "I'm going to go on a fishing trip with my friend's dad to try and get him to like me" sitcom plot dated back to Norse mythology!

[@ProjektTaku]

norse mythology is the og soap opera.

[@SocksWithSandalsEnjoyer]

Too bad Thor ended up murdering him lol

[@zach415]

Loki’s entire existence is just the prank war episode of every sitcom that results in someone always going too far with their prank

[@omarsalem1219]

I have seen someone call norse mythology the shitpost of mythology which yeah seems about right

[@Quang1999]

@@SocksWithSandalsEnjoyer how did Thor murders Hymir if his head is harder than the indestructible cup?

[@thebaldcat6708]

Hymir only had a total of 7 speaking lines this video, and he’s already the funniest character I’ve seen on this channel

Do you mean “the funniest character I’ve seen on the channel”? Because you forgot to put seen.

[@kimhungnguyen8001]

That’s the art of good story telling, characters and comedy

[@MeliesCinemagician]

Tyr's nine-hundred-headed grandmother had no speaking lines in this video, and yet she's my favorite character on the channel.

what about Tyr's 900 headed grandmother

[@sneakiestsnek3150]

Norse mythology is the longest, most convoluted, strangest chain of sidequests ever. that's why it's possibly my favorite

[@NoName-in3sx]

the fact that this myth is so crazy to believe that Jake had to put on the source during each scenes to assure what we're hearing is the true mythology and not something he made up

[@ENCELADUSCompositions]

This has always been my favorite of the Norse stories. Thor just _has_ to be Thor.

[@bloreo1315]

it’s amazing how much Thor hates jötunns despite being 3/4ths jötunn himself

[@videogollumer]

Divine spark of Buri nullifies that, I guess.

[@sigurdjensen195]

Being jotunn is a state of mind more than a genetic thing. Aesir and Vanir seemingly don't have some inherrent divinity, they are simply from those clans. Frey, Freya and Njord are considered Aesir, despite originating from the Vanir. Loki is son of two jotunn but is still Aesir and blood-brother to Odin. Genetic theory and race segregation is an interpretation more than it is a rule

[@lartts7483]

Aesir is more of an allegiance/tribe rather than a race, I would say the Aesir, Vanir, and Jotnar are just one race split into 3 different tribes

[@coyolord8031]

he just likes using his hammer and committing genocide and "killing giants to protect asgard" as an excuse

[@allonzehe9135]

Fun fact: Jake is worthy of wield Mjölnir, and Thor regularly plays catch with him, they're close friends.

[@praneeth8142]

that worthy thing is only in marvel

[@windows10sovietedition86]

Fun fact : In Norse mythos , there is no such thing as worthiness for the hammer. Mjolnir is simply extremely heavy . It is stated in one story that it required 4 or so giants to pick it up. Edit : Thanks to DIO Over Heaven for reminding me of the rest. The giants stole the hammer . And when Thor wanted it back , the Giant that stole the hammer , wanted Frigg as wife. So Loki helped Thor to disguise as Freya and... Well Jake also explained this story . Can't just spoil the whole thing now.

[@hellsrideschilling9592]

Hey Jake!, I have a suggestion for the next Greek Video, wich personaly, would really help me for my research about the topic. I heard in the Podcast: Greek Gods and Human Mythstakes In the episode: *Bonus Episode* Dionysus' Halloween Special Context: A part of the episode talks about The Oresteia, after Eurestes kills His mother and gets chased relentlesly by the Enrinyes (The Furies). (In some cases) Apollo tells him to go towards Athens, to receive the protection of the Goddess. Orestes ends up entering Athens, with his Miasma, and he sees the Athenians celebrating Anthesteria (A.G Halloween?). The one important piece of information i would need, is this, in timestamp 19:48, Quote: "Its believed that He (Dionysus) allowed the spirits to walk the city, so on this day they have spirits walking with them, so they started to put *tar* all over their walls and their doors, to try and catch the spirits and they tried to get in."
