#Khonshu #Asgard #MoonKnight #MCU
The Aesir, more commonly known as the Asgardians who formerly resided on Asgard and ruled over the nine realms - those being Asgard, Midgard, Jotunheim, Svartalfheim, Vanaheim, Musphelheim, Niflheim, Nidavellir, and Alfeim.
For a complete breakdown of the nine realms, check out our video on that.
The oldest member of the Aesir we know of currently is Buri, the father of Bor who in turn is the father of Odin. Bor fought back the Dark Elves thousands of years before Thor’s birth. Once his son, Odin rose to become king of Asgard, he and his daughter Hela conquered the other 8 realms and united them under Odin’s violent banner.
But after Hela’s ambition outgrew Odin’s own, he banished her and then fathered his second child Thor, defeated the frost giants and adopted his second son, Loki.
Here is where the Aesir began to leave their imprint on Midgard, becoming deities to the mortals on earth. Humankind, seeing the Aesir as gods began worshiping them and telling stories of
Odin, the Allfather
Thor, the god of Thunder
Tyr the god of war and justice
Lady Sif and the Warriors Three
The Valkyries
Heimdall the watchman of the gods.
As well as Frigga, known to midgard as Frigg
As well as other various Aesir
Of course, the norse mythology in the MCU runs deep, but these are the main players earth knows of and writes stories about. Of course, they would be unaware of Hela just as Thor was, but midgard also spoke of other godlike beings within the 9 realms such as the Frost Giants, Ruled by Laufey and true father of Loki - the norse god of Mischief. They also spoke of Surtur, the demon king of Muspelheim who was prophesied to bring the end of Asgard during Ragnarok. Not to mention Malekith and the Dark Elves who could also be considered godlike.
While The various gods of the nine realms were popular amongst the North Germanic People, across the globe, another pantheon was being adored by their loyal followers - those gods being the Ennead worshiped by both the Egyptians and Wakandans.
A lot less is known about the true history of these gods or why they were worshiped separately by two different groups, but what we do know is that after the meteorite of Vibranium landed in Wakanda millions of years ago, a warrior shaman known as Bashenga was visited by the Panther goddess, Bast who led him to the heart-shaped herb which gave him the power to become the first Black Panther and the protector of Wakanda.
We also know that the Wakandans worship Sekhmet, the lioness goddess of healing who alongside Bast guides Wakandan souls to the green valley, or the astral dimension.
Within the marvel comics, Sekhmet and Bast are both related to Khonshu - The god of the moon and vengeance who first appears in Moon Knight and empowers and guides his avatar, Marc Spector. Whether or not these 3 gods will be related in the MCU remains to be seen, but it seems likely as these familial relationships are very well established within the Norse Pantheon.
According to Harrow, Khonshu was apparently banished by the other Ennead for his legendary temper tantrums - however, this may not end up being accurate. Only time will tell.
Additionally, Ammit is established as the antagonist of the series, working through Arthur Harrow to cleanse the world of sin via judgment. She nearly accomplished her goal years ago, but was betrayed by her fellow gods as well as her previous Avatar and killed. And speaking of Avatars, Marc Spector is the Avatar of Khonshu and Harrow will likely become Ammit’s Avatar by the end of the series, so following this logic - it’s likely that the Black Panther is the avatar of Bast.
The other gods of this pantheon that are referenced in Moon Knight are Atum, Shu, Tefnut, Geb, Nut, Osiris, Isis, Set, Nepthys and Horus.

I love having the real world Gods in the mcu its way way way more interesting than the celestials or Galactus any of the other cosmic entities in marvel to me. The only exception so far Dormammu
The fact that he said Christian god and showed OBIWAN from Ep. II is just awesome
I'm sure the eternals being folded into local lores can be explained by them having relationships with the pantheons. They did mention thor as a kid in the Eternals right?
It’s possible that Thena and Athena are just similar and so their individual myths were merged into one over time.
Shang-Chi also introduced Ta Lo, the realm of the Chinese gods in the comics (like Asgard or Olympus). Although we only saw the mortals who lived there (known as the Qilin Riders in the comics).
Who else came here after the new Thor Trailer?
I’m pretty sure that in the comics, Thena’s birth name was Azura, but she changed her name after meeting the actual Athena.
While their relationship with Bast is a bit different from Mark's connection to Konshu their functionality is similar enough to where the black panther can be classified as an avatar to an Egyptian god. The main difference being that the black panther's power comes from a material substance rather than pure mysticism and the fact that Bast doesn't communicate directly with her avatar, preferring to relay messages through visions while letting her avatar have a great deal of autonomy.
After watching ETERNALS, these mcu 'gods' feel so useless to me. I only wanna know if
I think Thor’s line in the original movie was something to the affect of “where I come from magic and science are one and the same” which may imply that the explanation for magic as a function in the MCU is ultimately logical and somehow scientific more so than that the gods are not magical gods.
definition of god + new gods
I don't think you mentioned this, but the Jabari tribe does worship Hanuman, the Hindu Monkey God as seen when T'Challa accepts M'Baku's challenge to the throne. Timestamp is
While the names of Greek gods and the names of the Eternals present an issue withing the story of the MCU there are some workarounds that can be used.

Love these MCU lore videos. Really helpful references in my writings. Can you perhaps do one on The Hand/chase?
You mentioning the Haïtian Gods earned my subscription. It brought a smile to my face 😊
Holy shit we have a UA-camr who acknowledged the existence of Cloak and Dagger!!! Immediate sub
Is no one talking about the picture of Ewan McGregor when he talked about the christian god?
In the recent episode of Moon Knight, it has been established that several other Egyptian gods have been sealed away like Ammit
