I like how in Norse mythology, despite being the god of trickery or whatever, Loki never does anything directly malicious (most of the time)he just messes everything up.

What I really like about Norse mythology is that their gods are "grounded" enough so that it is actually plausible and understandable that they can have all the cool adventures they have. Unlike most other pantheons, these gods are below the universe, rather than "being" it (ahem, Egypt), they even constructed the world out of a bigass corpse, so you aren't constantly asking things like "wait why can they lose eyes" or "why do they need walls", etc, they aren't conceptual beings, they're pretty much a powerful race of dudes.
You can argue conceptual stuff with Thor as he basically imprinted a biological feature across all salmon when he gripped a Shape-shifting loki as that's the only way to label the feat But yeah despite their power they aren't as fundamental as the Greek or Egyptian gods
I read some Norse Mythology and got the distinction that the mythical beings in them had human like Jobs. Some were farmers, while the Elves of the :Dark elf realm seemed to be minors. That's all that was meant by "the dark elf realm, "Swartz elfen houzer" They worked underground, in mines. Relatable.
Thor: god of strength and possibly the reason for lightning and thunder Odin: Chief Aesir and god of wisdom and one of the gods presiding over war Idun: goddess of youth and keeper of enchanted golden apple orchard and steward of the Aesir's quasi-immortality "So, what's the deal with Heimdall? Does he just guard Asgard for Ragnarok? God of good eyesight?" Heimdall: he fucks.
Apparently, now a days, Loki is the God of Hard truths. So I’ll bet he still gets a lot of “shut the fck up Loki” as some people really just don’t want to hear it.
@@jaredpottorf442the real title is “The Name of the Wind” with the sequel “A Wise Man’s Fear”. A smart person’s concern is hilarious. Didn’t know titles can be cause for copyright strike. Lol
I really love Loki's relationship with everyone in Norse myth, they know he's a backstabbing snake but they also know they need him, cuz he's the only guy with a plan. Something's gone missing? Definitely Loki again, threaten him, he'll take Thor and fix it. Some non-Loki related existential threat? Ask Loki, he'll take Thor and fix it.
These stories were written down nearly a millennium ago, and were first told even longer ago. I can understand why they could comprehend a super cool weapon but not the idea of prosthetic limbs.
@@CHRB-nn6qp I think the reason is that these stories were written by many people, so maybe prosthetics just weren't the writing style of the guy who wrote that part.
I don't think Tyr would have accepted it anyhow. He was the God of Justice. He broke his oath to Fenrir by refusing to remove the ribbon once Fenrir gave up trying to break free and lost his hand as a consequence.

Fun fact: the reason why Loki survives the fire 27:30 is because he is a falcon, so whilst he is able to maneuver out of the way of the fire, the _eagle_ in hot pursuit of him, could not
as a Norse pagan I love your video it's pretty much to the T of course left out some of the fun details and stories but all in all I say good work love the humor and the original way of telling the stories lol. oh you promised a Ragnarök story I'm excited to watch it
@@Dexuz in short, to me personally the gods represent different aspects of nature and the understanding of my existence. It helps me feel connected to nature and my ancestors through the gods. You have different deities for different tasks such as invoking Odin on giving you wisdom to help you finish a test or Thor to protect you and help you finish the race. In ancient times the stories would have been not only a form of entertainment but also their way of understanding the environment they were inhabiting with some life lessons sprinkled in. As for Ragnarök, it is a representation that the world will definitely come to an end but through its death will come a rebirth of a new world.
@@sosa_prodigy_notthen what's the point of even associating with the Norse mythos since you basically believe in the abstract ideas that are somewhat represented by these obviously flawed and human figures? All myths were created as a way to explain the world around them with their limited knowledge, so anything related to them is simply outdated by our standards. Trying to make it less ridiculous by saying you worship their "aspects" and connect with your ancestors doesn't make the fact that Norse mythology is ridiculous and shouldn't be a basis for any actual beliefs. You don't see me praying to the ideas that Zeus represented just so I could get a blessing from the ultimate fertility God, that's what viagra is for.
@@legojarjarbinks2564 I’ve been taught by the Marines of the importance of spiritual wellness is to the health of oneself. This can come in many forms such as religion and I have chosen to follow the Norse pantheon. What’s great about Pagen religions is that they are not organised and are always changing so nothing is really “outdated by our standards”. A lot of myths still have important lessons in their core like always being a good host to your guests. Following the Norse pantheon is more of a personal journey for me and even though I may find a lot of things in Christianity and Islam ridiculous, who am I to point the finger at them and tell them you praying to this one god “shouldn’t be basis for any actual beliefs”. I’m also pretty sure you would invoke Aphrodite in Hellenism for sex depending on your goal not Zeus. But hey, who knows in the context 🤷♂️
I love this. Reminds me of Zach Schuster’s comic series, Thrud. Thrud is mute, so the whole story is narrated by some god spit she finds in a hidden cavern that she only breaks into because she has Thor’s iron gloves. Ragnarock’s already occurred, but the artist makes everything vibrant looking, and there’s a charm and whimsy to it that feels like this kind of humour.
I was just running out of Serious History and Good Enough videos and now I've found this gem! Thankfully I now don't have to rewatch Brewstew and Sam o Nella videos until I stop liking them Love finding new channels like this. It's like treasure
I love Loki’s little evil finger wiggles so much😂 also, I was told Loki birthed his three world ending kids after being impregnated by everything evil about the world…
5:11 when life is at its darkness and sorrow consumes us, beautiful words can be a candle in the night 5:25 the greatest tragedy is that the things we hold most dear, are the we must hide from the envy of others 6:08 don't seek treasure form others, seek the means to find treasure within yourself
Nice job on consistently using they/them for loki 👍 I don't think they were ever actually treated as nonbinary/gender fluid in the original myth, despite shapeshifting into various forms, but who can truly know all the nuances of a culture that hardly ever wrote anything down (the slavs are even worse in that regard, trust me, we don't even have our equivalent of the prose eda)
I've watched this video like 10 times, it's my newest comfort video. Here are some of my favorite parts: - Ymir dying and dropping all the Minecraft blocks - "Oh look a tasty-looking tail!" *chomp* "Ow!

I get a Saturday night cartoon feeling from Norse Mythology and thats just why I love it so much its just a classic villain of the week story and if I was younger I would love to watch this

You know back in the day there was some norse pagan kid all like, "[pushes up metephorical glasses] well actually, the dwarfs could have cut clean through lokis jaw or just crush his head thus getting what they had barganed for." And their mom was just like, "Yakob, this is why the other boys throw mud at you."
Ive been trying to learn Norse mythology. It hasnt interested me but this did. I honestly learned more from this than the entire Wondrium program. Thanks so much!!
I like how in Norse mythology, despite being the god of trickery or whatever, Loki never does anything directly malicious (most of the time)he just messes everything up.
yeah honestly the only thing i remember he did with true intent to harm was the myth with baldur and also lokasenna
Fr he literally sacrificed himself to give the other gods sick stuff
@@ilikedinosaurs392 He also tricked a blind dude into killing the most beloved being ever and his children are the literal end of the world.
@@christopherstein2024 well I mean you can chalk the first one down to him being a jealous bitch and the second one to the other gods being dicks
Three hundred and thirty three thumbs.
So most of these Norse stories starts with Loki causing some sort of mischief, and end with mass slaughter courtesy of Thor
It’s about the journey, I suppose.
There’s a little more then that, it usually goes like this; either Loki pulls some shit or the Aesir make a deal that they can’t/don’t want to fulfil, they get Loki to deal with it, Thor ends up killing at least on 1 person

Loki likes to feel pretty sometimes, get off their back(/j).
He also has sandals that allow him to walk on air, he probably just wanted it for aesthetic reasons
And he straight up turned into a bird and a fly once!

Ive been trying to learn Norse mythology. It hasnt interested me but this did. I honestly learned more from this than the entire Wondrium program. Thanks so much!!
If you're looking for entertaining retellings, check out Neil Gaiman's "Norse Mythology". It has a great audiobook narrated by him.
