      She's not that in the comic-books. She's a neutral villain, who plays fairly if there's a precedent. She rarely leaves her domain in Niffleheim and yes, she is the daughter of Loki, unlike in this sh1t movie. And Loki is the main villain of Ragnarok in the comics, too. Again, unlike in this sh1t movie.

      Which Thor comics? I had a thick book of a ton of old Thor comics. They were in black and white. He fought Ego, Crusher Creel(the absorbing man), he also fought the destroyer, fought Hercules and fought for him as his champion. There was even Olympian gods.
      There were mini stories in the issues showing Loki's shenanigans and planning.
      Some tribal chief or something found a norn stone Loki either lost or dropped or maybe even left it intentionally, i cant remember all of it.
      I believe some were titled "Amazing Tales"
      It was a book with many issues consolidated. It was cool but you could tell it was old by how extremely noble and perfect moral compass some chracters (especially as Thor) possessed.
      One other story was about a king that invited Thor as a guest (he hated Thor or Asgard) but he gave Thor 3 challenges to pass and Thor won two but the third was a trick. The kings wife, daughter, or mistress approached Thor the night before the challenge and told him about the trick and how to beat it.
      There was also a story where Thor was in control of a ship (on the water) and had a crew that trusted himz but Loki started to sow seeds of deceit which almost worked but Thor prevailed in the end.
      Im not sure if youre talking stories THAT old but hell i figured id ramble on with a comment nobody will even read, almost completely waisting my time on this when i could bw waisting it watching Deadpool 3 predictions and 100%"real" plot leaks

      You and Taika both have some problems with grammar and semantics. Shrinking and shapeshifting are two different concepts. Thor's hammer in the myths can change size, not shape. And this stupid gag with the umbrella is supposedly a reference to the comics (wow, which is so rare in Waititi's Thor movies) when Thor used the alter ego of a medical doctor and walked with a cain that was really his hammer in disguise.

    It's kinda weird how Infinity War is, in a way, a more accurate Ragnarok than Thor Ragnarok:
    It starts off with Heimdall setting Thor on his quest, starting the war, though without sounding Gjallarhorn.
    Loki's previous alliance with Thanos is like actual Loki's alliance with Surtr.
    Thanos filling the Infinity Gauntlet is like Surtr forging his sword. Once they're done, everyone is screwed.
    All the heroes joining in the battle is like the 9 realms joining in, especially if you count the portals in Endgame.
    The battle ends tragically, with many superheroes (modern day Gods) having died.
    Just like how Ragnarok is an end and a beginning, Infinity War leads into Endgame, restarting the war.

In Marvel canon, he was originally Heracles, but after having to put up with Heras shit for so many years, he wanted to distance himself from her as much as possible so he adopted the name the Romans called him.

      Though, among other things like strength and oak trees, Thor is associated with thunder and lightning, he does, in fact, summons and controls lightning in the myths despite the Mythology Guy claiming otherwise.
      I made a comment about this here, in detail, but basically, when Thor arrives to duel Hrungnir in the myths, he summons lightning, as describes in the Prose Edda. And in a 10th century poem about this myth, it references Thor summoning lightning when it says all the skies were burning due to Thor.

    Funnily enough, Marvel moving Loki's relation to the Aesir a generation down _(using “generation” as a relative term since these guys all can live for thousands of years)_ from Odin's blood brother to adopted son, but then moving Hel a generation up from Loki's daughter to adoptive sister, it technically keeps her (mythically entirely irrelevant) familial relation to Thor and the other Aesir at the same generational level, being the generation below Odin.

    This movie doesn't really follow the comics either. The character Scourge was an executioner but, he worked for a female sorcerer named Amora the Enchantress. Which I believe the MCU's version of Hel is a supposed to actually be. However since people are more familiar with the latter they chose to make her the villain instead. This can be used to explain why "Hela" has magical powers and can fight. She was also more accurately depicted as Loki's daughter in the comics but, the mother is never mentioned.

    Imagine how cool it would have been if Gorr the god butcher, was the one who actually killed baldur. Setting ragnarok in motion earlier than it was supposed to begin, so that he only has to kill a few gods at the end. killing most Norse gods to fuel his god bomb with their souls.
    Surtr sees this as the perfect time to attack the nine realms.
    As soon as baldurs body hits the ground, fimblewinter begins. Thor finds his body and is ordered by odin to find out who killed him, he can't do it alone, but with the other Norse gods being busy with the armies of Surtr, Thor requests the help of Heracles, Sif and Artio the bear goddess.
    With jormungandr not existing in the mcu, gorr creates him to speed up the ragnarok process, Gorr also creates beta ray bill as part of a race that will only be loyal to him, as a sort of false justification that he is, can and will do better than the old gods.
    Thor fights jormungandr, but gets bitten, before he takes his final step. He gets healed by Artio's druid magic, because of this he loses his connection to mjolnir and is unable to wield it.
    Forcing him to leave mjolnir behind on a planet, to fight Thor has to use his signature gloves and belt.
    With a post credit scene where beta ray bill picks up the hammer.
