Thor, Loki, and the Gods: Marvel vs. Norse Mythology

In this episode of Mythlok, we explore the fascinating world of Norse mythology and its Hollywood makeover in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Join your host, Nitten Nair, as we compare the ancient gods like Thor, Loki, Odin, and others with their modern-day Marvel counterparts. From Thor’s thunderous battles to Loki’s trickster ways, we break down the real stories and highlight the dramatic changes made for the big screen.
How did Marvel transform these ancient figures into superheroes? What did they leave behind, and what was reinvented? We dive into the roles, powers, and cultural significance of Norse gods in mythology and how the MCU reshaped them to resonate with global audiences.
Along the way, we’ll examine the impact of these changes on younger generations’ perceptions of Norse mythology, and ask whether Marvel’s version does justice to the ancient myths or oversimplifies them for entertainment.
