Always love when people get so mad about mythology
Like, it didn't happen, it's not real
Especially modern fiction based on mythology. Multiple layers of "some person made it up"
Like, Marvel's Thor was single-handedly responsible for a lot of people's renewed interest in Norse mythology and a massive chunk of it was just Jack Kirby coming up with wacky gibberish
Entertaining gibberish, but gibberish
Why is thor even blonde man, wtf. We know 3 things about thor's appearance from the eddas
1: Redhead
2: Fiery eyes
3: Twinky enough that he can fit Freyjas dress
Which means we can conclude that Thor is a twunk, and no work has replicated this.
all the crossdressing and/or genderbending shapeshifting "as a joke" ""to trick someone"" was some of the more interesting things in nordic mythology and we've yet to see an adaptation do it justice
Loki got pregnant, Thor was a bride, Odin mastered the magic of women.
It even goes farther than that. Most magic, soothsaying, and divination was seen as feminine, so that we have attestations of several men/AMAB priests engaging in these practices often needed to cross-dress at the very least.
We need to petition a lore-accurate comic book series titled "Thor: Greatest Twunk"
I don't agree. Mythology is part of culture and history. Works inspired by mythology don't have to adhere 100% to it of course, but I would probably object if something was meant to be an authentic depiction of a mythology and they went out of their way to not depict the culture from which it originated. Like I'd be a little mad if I was watching something purported to be at least a semi authentic depiction of chinese myth and Yama is wearing a toga. By the same token I would appreciate it if more viking depictions wore tunics, and I am genuinely still mad at the fucking anime bullshit the National Museum of Denmark pulled for their depiction of returned Varangian guards.
No they had these huge pictures hanging depicting actors wearing imagined varangian garb designed by some artist.
They were fully wearing silk yukata with one of those women's bronze age belt plates and holding a semi authentic helmet.
The whole hall just outside where they used to keep the viking ship was covered in them.
dang, doesnt seem to be any images online. i love a wildly inaccurate "reconstruction". confusing greek and east asian silk has gotta be hilarious
I looked through my old pictures on my phone because I was sure I had taken a picture of it, but it was too long ago.
