History SadlyMythtaken / TheMightyThor

** Instead of the Aesir-Vanir war there is instead and Aesire-''Angel'' war, and not even with the angels from any Abrahamic or even tertiary related Hebrew tradition, which have been adapted into Marvel but [[TheGodsMustBeLazy barely interact with the main setting, Asgard was instead fighting against lawyer friendly transplants of the Image Comics angels from ''Comicbook/{{Spawn}}'', and instead of a prisoner exchange and peace treaty they are instead exiled even further from the main settling than Marvels previous angel group already was.

* Amora the Enchantress is based on Freya, who ''was'' indeed an enchantress, and very beautiful but she was never evil. And what kind of name for a ''Norse'' goddess is Amora, anyway? Freyja shows up later as a separate being.

* Odin has several differences from his mythological inspiration, mainly in terms of personality. In Norse mythology, Odin is often portrayed as a wise and cunning god who sometimes engages in questionable and somewhat dishonorable actions to achieve his goals, such as using disguises, theft, and trickery. For example, in the "[[Literature/PoeticEdda Hárbarðsljóð]]", an Odin in disguise insults Thor and boasts to his son about his sexual prowness, his magical abilities, and the wars he stirred, and in the ''Literature/ProseEdda'', Odin steals the Mead of Poetry from the giant Suttungr through disguises, shapeshifting, seduction, and tricks. In contrast, in Marvel Comics, he is portrayed as a more benevolent, honorable, and glorious warrior-king who largely lacks the TheTrickster traits he has in myth. Additionally, his desire for hoarding knowledge and attempting to change fate is diminished in the comics. His association with magic is also less explored, whereas in the myths, it was one of his main symbols alongside poetry, war, and wisdom.

* Whether or not Dwarves and Dark/Black Elves are separate or not, the reason the Light Elves are separate from whichever you think their counterpart should be is because the Aesir took over Alfeim and gave it to Frey as a present, after they got Frey in a prisoner exchange to end the war with Vanheim, causing the elves their to take after Frey's attributes. Naturally none of this is even given a mention, given Frey barely exists in Marvel comics.

** In Norse Myth the Jotunn were distinguished between mountain, frost and fire tribes. Depending on who you ask, there might have even been sea giants. In Marvel comics though there are ice giants, ''storm'' giants, and fire ''demons'', who are OmnicidalManiacs. In Norse Myth Sutur was the only omnicidal fire giant, with the rest just being antagonistic to individual humans/aesir at worst.

* The Dark Elves in the ''Prose Edda'' have been speculated by scholars to be alternate names for the dwarfs. In the comics, they're different species.(Dwarves are definitely synonymous "Dark Elves", and may or may not be the same thing as the "Black Elves", depending on who you ask. The Norse, Dok usually referred to skin, as in [[AmusingInjuries bruises]], while svart usually referred to hair, like RavenHairIvorySkin. Both Dokalfar and Svartalfar were consistently distinct from the "Light Elves").

** They also got some of his parentage wrong. Loki is known as Laufeyjarson in the original myths, but not because Laufey is his father like in the comics. Laufey is actually the name of his ''mother'', and Loki's father is named Fárbauti instead. The reason why Loki is refered to by a matronymic rather than by the more traditional patronymic is unknown -- it could be that Fárbauti disowned Loki, passed away or was an absent father, Laufey was of a higher social hierarchy than Fárbauti and better-regarded by the Aesir, a symbolism of Loki's trespassing of gender roles, and/or a preference for [[AlliterativeName poetic alliteration]], but regardless, Laufey is explicitly his mother.
