Nov 12, 2017 · Thor: Ragnarok is rocking theaters right now, doing gangbusters at the box office and receiving strong word of mouth as maybe the funniest, and probably the most fun Marvel movie in years. But to ...

Prophecy informs so much of what happens in Asgard that we wonder how they get anything done. We’d constantly be wondering if that squirrel we just saw was an omen that the ancients foretold. When Hela was born, the Asgardian goddesses of destiny and fate knew she was going to be trouble, so Odin decided to keep her so busy that she’d never think o...
The Marvel Cinematic Universe, as in Norse Mythology, contain nine main planets (or realms, depending on how fancy you’re talking) with the branches of the cosmic “tree” Yggdrasil connecting them. These worlds contain a variety of species and cultures that occasionally decide to fight each other, and that’s how Thormovies happen. These Nine Realms ...
We don’t really see the resemblance, either. However, in the comics, the giant, lupine creature see Hulk battling in the Ragnaroktrailer is the son of the trickster god. That’s also the case in Norse mythology, and the actual mechanics of how it’s possible might surprise you. Loki had a fling (or several) with giantess/witch Angerboda who, like the...
This one’s a little easier to imagine since neither Loki nor Hela have any problem with burning Asgard to the ground. However, they do have different reasons. It’s a little more complicated than that, however, because Hela’s father is not necessarily “our” Loki. The confusion comes because of what Ragnarok actually is. It’s not just the end of Asga...
Ragnarok’s Grandmaster presides over the gladiator games in which Thor and Hulk become participants. However, this is a slight bit of slumming for the character, who used to hold one of the most powerful objects in the comic book universe. He had the Mind Gem before Thanos showed up and beat it out of him. He used it to augment his already consider...
Three characters in the comics have used the name “Executioner,” but Ragnarokfeatures the first — and best — one: the Asgardian warrior Skurge. The book version of this character earned his nickname for his battle prowess and another, more obvious reason that we’ll get to later. He’s typically a villain with some occasional moments of goodness, and...
We don’t think this is how things played out in Ragnarok, but it’s a super crazy story anyway. In Surtur’s first appearance in the books, Odin goes out to stop him from allying with trolls against Asgard. They fight for a little while before the fire demon takes off and flies straight to Earth. It’s Odin’s favorite planet for some reason, despite t...
We’ve already mentioned that the gladiatorial combat in Ragnarokseems to be a stop down for Grandmaster since the comic book version had an Infinity Gem. However, that’s also because the “games” themselves seem slightly beneath him. Grandmaster is big on strategy, and while one-on-one combat surely has its moments, it’s still pretty straightforward...
Skurge backs up his title of “Executioner” with his signature weapon, an enchanted axe that can cut through anything. We do mean anything here-- the magic chopper can sever the bonds uniting the Nine Realms. Or so Skurge claims, but we’re not about to disagree with him. During one storyline, Hela manipulates the Executioner by having Mordanna disgu...
Hela and others have tried repeatedly to bring about Ragnarok. Their methods may have changed over the years, but their plans usually have one thing in common: Fenris Wolf needs to be there. When he’s not helping to usher in the Asgardian end times, Odin usually keeps the giant wolf chained up. The chain is, itself, magical, composed of impossible,...

Feb 21, 2022 · Seducing Bruce. "Take to the streets! Celebrate my champion! It seems that that criminally seductive Lord of Thunder has stolen him away."

Thor is thrown into the gladiator's quarters where he meets Korg, a Kronan resistance fighter, and his friend Miek. Korg says that nobody has been able to escape or defeat the Grandmaster's champion. Thor is ready to fight this man, having his hair forcibly cut by someone strangely familiar, and choosing his weapons.
