When Hel's campaign of devastation in Midgard begins, he finds that his army of honored dead are too out of shape to make any headway and thus has to go to his bastard son Thor.

** In Norse Mythology, Odin willing gave up his eye to Mimir's well to partake in its magical wisdom. Here it's literally knocked out of him by Mjolnir when he misuses it.
** In Norse Mythology, Mjolnir was commissioned by Asgard to be used as a weapon specifically for Thor. Here the dwarf who made it tried to sell it to Odin and it just fell into Thor's lap by accident.
** Thor wasn't the son of a human woman. He was the son of the Earth.

!!Film provides examples of:

* AdaptationalDumbass: In Norse Mythology, Odin Allfather was famed for his wisdom and cunning, having established his authority over the Nine Realms using trickery and strategic warfare, having sacrificed his eye to achieve supernatural wisdom from Mimir's well. Here, Odin is portrayed as a lazy lout who's grown complacent with all of the free food his worshippers give him, and ends up losing his eye out of carelessness with Mjolnir.
* AdaptationalSpeciesChange: While in mythology Thor was the love-child between the god Odin and Jord, Giantess that embodied midgard, here he is half-human.
* AdaptationalVillainy: In Norse Mythology, Hel was a cthonic goddess who, while not exactly friendly, was a fair goddess that kept to herself. Here she's the BigBad, launching a campaign of war against Asgard alongside the Giants as revenge for her disastrous love affair with Odin.
* AdaptationalWimp: In Norse Mythology, Fenrir was a genuinely ruthless and cunning BeastOfTheApocalypse. Here he's just Hel's pet, and not a very bright one at that.
* AluminumChristmasTrees: While having Thor be Odin's illegitimate son sounds like something people only familiar with Myth/ClassicalMythology would drum up, one must remember that this was the case with Thor in the original mythology.
* AnimateInanimateObject: This version of Mjolnir -- here simply called "Crusher" -- has a face and a personality all his own.
* BigBadDuumvirate: While Hel is clearly in charge, she had also allied herself with King Thrym of the Giants.
* EverybodyHatesHades: Hel is explicitly the Queen of the Norse Underworld and, [[AdaptationalVillainy unlike in myth]], is an enemy of Asgard.
* TheGodsMustBeLazy: By the start of the movie, Odin had long since stopped caring about the Vikings that worship him and is content to sit on his throne and stuff himself fat with their offerings. When Hel's campaign of devastation in Midgard begins, he finds that his army of honored dead are too out of shape to make any headway and thus has to go to his bastard son Thor.
