Thor’s most powerful son returns

▸ THE GODS OF MIDGARD RISE! Four new gods walked the Earth, called by Thor's foes to be his death - a man of fire, a man of stone, a beast of wrath and a trickster-serpent. All had reason to hate the thunder god...and working together, they had the power to end an All-Father's reign. This is the story of the IMMORTAL THOR...and what broke him at last.

The part where Rob says, "Don't do that, Thor. That's the end of the world!" I totally had a flashback to watching Dave Chapelle's old special Killing Them Softly on HBO. "Don't do that (word I won't say that starts with N), that'll get you 5 to 10!" 😂😂😂

Whoa! So did I!😂😂

"Let me know if you want me to cover this story" Rob, my man, you should literally cover every single comic story in existence. You know we'd watch it.

yes Rob what @54m0h7 said👍👍👍👍👍👍👌👌✌✌

Literally the thought that goes through my mind every time he says that, lol.

[@GhostMiku]

Never knew Thor had multiple sons, let alone such a seriously powerful one.

[@terranullius1622]

I think he had multiple daughters also in an different verse.

[@phothewin6019]

@@GhostMiku Thor has many sons. Hulk, Namor, Galactus, Beta Ray Bill, Loki, Those Who Sit Above In Shadow, Vegeta, Silver Surfer, Sentry/Void, Gorr, Raiden, etc.

[@Ando1428]

​@@terranullius1622 those were his granddaughters

[@tri3183]

He has three daughters but they're born in future not in present day timeline

[@Ando1428]

@tri3183 those were his grand daughters

[@kamenrangerzeo8251]

Magni, in actual Norse mythology, is one of the sons of Thor and is called the god of strength in the Norse pantheon. Which is kind of interesting that in the Marvel comics version of Thor’s son that it was he that caused his father to reverse everything that he did when he went mad as king Thor. In fact I wouldn’t mind actually seen the son of Thor Magni, be in a relationship with Hulk’s daughter Lyra, if they ever decide to bring her back.

[@henrygambles3652]

He’s also meant to inherit Mjonlir in Norse Mythology after Ragnarok

[@timhenley3602]

I always enjoyed Lyra as well. I think Professor Hulk sent her off to live in another dimension. She asked to be sent there.

[@ssort69]

I believe he was actually supposed to be so strong he didn't need Thor's belt that even Thor needed to be able to wield his hammer if I remember correctly. It's hard to keep the actual myths, D&D pantheon mythology, Marvel Comics mythology (and it's myriad alternate universes), and DC and Independent comics mythologies straight anymore 😅

[@RedLithic]

Well, in the proses, Modi is also needed to wield the hammer, as they're a bit stronger than Thor, but not neither are twice as strong as he was(since his build doubled his strength).

[@jraulerson3081]

Oh, geez. Donald got the mythological Loki punishment? That's rough.

[@Ked7]

Yep, the “throne of lies”

[@kevinnosaurus793]

Atleast in mythology Loki have sigyn to ease his punishment. Idk about Donald tho.

[@Vamroc]

He got a Symbiote too but it's one of those unresolved plot points as we see it land on his face and that's how Thor's Venom tie-in ends

[@Enraged-Gecko]

Donald Blake was condemned to a living death, bound to the void between the Nine Realms and their respective afterlives. In Norse mythology, the honored dead gain entrance to Valhalla, but those who die of natural causes or lived a life of disgrace fall to Helheim, a realm presided over by Hela, daughter of Loki and Angrboda (Yes, MCU Hela was a child of Odin, but the mythological and comic versions are not.) Those judged to be men and women of good nature are allowed to pass into Niflheim, where they are allowed to indulge themselves and socialize amongst others of comparable virtue. Donald Blake was not allowed within those realms, as he existed as a displaced spirit bound to a living vessel… just imagine being locked away in complete isolation without so much as the perception of time. Sounds like the poor guy had every right to turn on Thor and instead of understanding his plight, Thor elected to torture him in an even worse way.

[@ssort69]

​@@Enraged-Gecko I totally agree! Don Blake was a physician and a good man, caught up in Odin's scheme to teach Thor a lesson. He was shunted off and forgotten basically till he went mad, and then was punished by his jailers son who should be like a brother to him considering their bond, but he instead curses him for something beyond his control as what mortal mind could take that? A good man, condemned for the God's own folly and misplaced justice. Free Blake!!

[@UltimateSpider1385]

Fighting Thor would be a death sentence. Also, I'm surprised to see Thor's son return. I need to read the Thor comics. Specifically Donny Cates's Run, J. Michael Straczynski's run, and Stan Lee's run. Also, She conceived a son with Namor? Crazy.

[@emerychacon2415]

Dan Jurgen's 90's Thor run is one of my favorite comic runs of Thor ever! I am beyond stoked to see Magni back!!

[@chrism6422]

Yes rob please cover it. Magni was a dope character in that story arch. He was literally the human side of thor and showed thor how far he fell from righteous

[@joelhughes9615]

Story arc* Stories and characters have arcs, McDonald's has golden arches, Noah had an Ark.

[@chrism6422]

@joelhughes9615 excuse me mr English professor 🧐. In the words of samuel L jackson in pulp fiction 🗣 check out the big brains on brett 🤭

[@jaimemarquez2597]

My favorite thing about how the Donald Blake thing ended was Thor let Loki take care of the punishment of Donald and didn't want to know what Loki did.

[@FAD4LIFE94]

Also the punishment is literally Loki's punishment in Norse mythology

[@NabirMiah]

Feel like Marvel is shifting things around to make Thor into an Odin like character and perhaps have Magni take his place on Midgard - something that can be reflected in the MCU as well

[@heartlessangel1460]

Not a bad idea. I mean Odin already passed in the MCU.

[@NicholasRHunn]

I feel like that's what they're going to do in Thor 5 is deal with human stuff on Earth

[@jjboy157]

That sounds awful considering they’ve barely managed to do Thor properly in the MCU

[@neilanderson8515]

Well with him supposed fight thanos and his undead army he will definitely be leagues above Odin…

[@jjboy157]

@ Thanos with the gauntlet of course, cause Odin is stronger than regular Thanos

[@ArturoMartinez-hd7qf]

The Dan Jurgen's run on Thor was pretty cool. Yes, Rob, please cover that.

[@spartansimbataylor9311]

One of my favourite thor stories plz Rob cover this story

[@nobodyknowsforsure]

Thor coming back makes more sense just from the fact that he has the Odin force. Unless you genuinely with a straight face want to tell me "Oh yeah sure Gargoyle can just touch Odin and he'll turn to stone and die...". Not Odin who was legit a high father. I'm just saying, they need to stop nerfing Godlike abilities for plot

[@IsraelIzuchukwu-z5g]

Jason Aaron would have done worse 😂😂😂

[@WannabeWryter]

I mean, you do still want to have some fun.And it's not like he was gone forever Just a few Moments. And if his power is anything like Medusa's head, well That seems to kill just above everybody according to dragon's dogma 2

I have been waiting g for Donald Blake to return ever since the comic with Thor and Meriduis or maybe it was the offspring of Bedlam or some other symbiot that went down into the underground of Asgard and bonded with Donald Blake. I can't wait until his return to raise hell and take on Thor and threaten Asgard and other things like that. I can't wait for that.

[@ChillQuest992]

Thor is such a badass!! Bring back THIS guy in the MCU 😭

[@Zenphoshen]

Magni is from the Future Timeline that future Thor uses the Odin-Force then Thor-Force to send a message back with his memories to his younger self to prevent that future from ever happening. This new timeline results in Thor losing access to the Odin-Force in the present timeline as it judged him unworthy based on his future self's actions. This sets the Foundation for then current timeline Thor to become Rune King Thor due to it forcing him to seek out a different power. And now I am going to go back and reread that entire series again haha. That entire story was so dope and now we have Magni who was one of the best parts of the Dark Future Timeline in present day Immortal Thor. I am seriously looking forward to how this story unfolds. Magni was such a goofball. He was essentially a young Thor and the fact the boy is worthy of Mjolnir says it all. Immortal Thor just keeps getting better and better.
