I have always been a huge fan of “Marvel” movies. With the new “Avengers: Infinity War” coming out I decided to watch the only “Marvel” movie I forgot to see “Thor: Ragnarok.” If you are into the “Marvel” movies you know that every movie needs to be watched with close attention. All of these movies intertwine with each other and I feel that is what makes these movies so special. “Thor: Ragnarok” for me was what tied everything together for me to help ready myself for the new movie coming out. This movie was great all around, from the action parts to the comedy even the foreshadowing that helped understand what might happen. The director really did a great job capturing everything from the turning points, the conflict, the climax and the …show more content…
He drops and that is where we meet Surtur. When we meet Surtur we learn that he wants to destroy Asgard. He can not do it yet because he does not have enough strength. He tells Thor he plans on going to Asgard and dropping his crown into the eternal fire. Thor then breaks free and “kills” Surtur and takes his head and crown back to Asgard to lock it up. Once he is back Thor finds that Loki his brother put their father on earth and they do not know where he is. Thor and Loki try and find their father who was suppose to be in New York. When they find him in a different country he tells them he is dying and that their older sister Hela who they've never heard of will come to take the thrown. When she comes Thor tries to fight her by hitting her with his hammer. She is so powerful that she catches the hammer and destroys it. The scene with the destruction of the hammer is where everything changes. The hammer was where his power came from so the destruction of it was a big deal. Once the hammer is destroyed Thor and Loki try to escape but end up on the planet Sakaar with no way off. Thor doesn’t know how to use his powers without the hammer so is basically powerless and gets captured and forced to …show more content…
When he gets back Hela is already taking over the kingdom. The battle rages on while Thor is still hammerless and powerless. While Thor is fighting Hela her army and her wolf tries to stop and kill the civilians that are trying to leave. Bruce Banner has to turn into the Hulk to stop the wolf which he did not want to do because he believed that if he were to turn into the Hulk he may never be able to turn back to a human ever again. While Hulk is fighting off the wolf and the valkyrie is fighting the army alongside with others Thor is being “killed” by Hela. Before her final blow Thor sees his father. He tells his father “She’s to powerful, I have no hammer.” In return his father Odin says “What are you, Thor, god pf hammers?” They converse more and this is where Thor has his epiphany. He learns that his power was not from the hammer it is from Asgard which is not a place but the people. Learning this he gains the strength and his power and stops Hela from killing him. He decides that to destroy Hela he has to destroy Asgard and take the people away and start a new life. He gets Loki to go and take the head of Surtur and drop it in the eternal flame. This will make Surtur a huge monster that will destroy the planet and destroy Hela. They do this and save the people. The end scene after a couple credits shows Thor and Loki discussing where they are going. They are talking when suddenly they run into
Then he battles not one but two demons being two of the tests that he faces. Beowulf 's main purpose in Denmark is to kill the coldhearted powerful demon. “Gendel was the name of the grim demon Haunting the marches, marauding round the heath And the desolate fens;...” (lines 102-104). After his first battle “Beowulf, son of Ecgtheow, spoke: “ We have gone through with a glorious endeavour and been much favored in this fight we dared against the unknown, Nevertheless, if you could have seen the monster himself where he lay beaten, i would have been better pleased, My plan was to pounce, pin him down In a tight grip and grapple him to death- Have him painting for life, powerless and clasped In my bare hands, his body in thrall. But i couldn 't stop him from slipping my hold, The lord allowed it, my lock on him Wasn’t strong enough, he struggled fiercely and broke and ran. Yet he bought his freedom At a high price, for he left his hand and arm and shoulder to show he had been here, A cold comfort for having come among us. And now he won 't be long for this world. He has done his worst but the wound will end him.”( lines 956-974). Then they decide to celebrate, little do they know that along with Grendel lives his mother. Seeking vengeance for her son 's death, she attacks Heorot and kills just one man being Hrothgar 's closest friend and advisor. In his grief, he
Thor wants to return home but believes he cannot because Loki said he was banished and that he had killed their father. After Thor doubts his return home the gatekeeper opens the portal for him to return home. At the end of Thor Loki also gets an opportunity to live, even though he tried tricking Thor into believing he could not return home because he killed their father. After Thor and Loki have their brother battle in Asgard they almost fall of the bridge, but, Thor holds on tight with Loki hanging from them. Odin awakes from his rest and grabs Thor’s arm, but, just as he is pulling them up Loki feels he is now unworthy and Let's go of Thor and falls off. He becomes the leader of his people, the Frost Giants.
Grendel appears the night when Beowulf arrives at Heorot. Beowulf wrestles the monster barehanded. He tears off the monster's arm but Grendel escapes. He dies soon afterward at the bottom of his mere, or swamp. Hrothgar rewards Beowulf with a great store of treasures. Another banquet is held for the warriors of both the Geats and the Danes.
Thorgunna gave birth to a son, Thorgils, who Leif later retrieved from Norway and brought to Greenland. Since Thorgils did not have much popularity with the Greenlanders, Leif passed down the position of chief to another son, Thorkell.
Even though everyone knew that Loki had done it, because they had lost the one that they loved, they were too sad to do anything about it. Frigg thought that she had made sure of Balder’s safety, even though she had overlooked this one small plant.

The plot of the film is a sort of amalgamation of different Norse myths, of which one is the creation myth. Thor sets up the beginning of the
My first criteria was the action/ violence in Deadpool, which by the way was exciting and spectacular. First off the opening
When they arrive in the land of Danes they are confronted by Hrothgar’s coast guard who tells them that fighting Grendel is like fighting the sea, you can never win. On this advice Beowulf left his sword embedded in a hill on his way to Heorot because as he said “Who ever heard of a man bringing a sword to kill the ocean?” When Grendel comes Beowulf grabs his arm and all the purity within him burns Grendel like a white-hot iron. Beowulf defeats Grendel by ripping his arm off and leaving Grendel to bleed out in his den. Unferth is outraged by the killing of Grendel because Unferth is 100% insane and thought that Grendel was beautiful and that Beowulf was a murderer by killing him.
At Ragnarok Loki compiled an army of giants and his offspring to destroy Asgard. He was successful in destroying Asgard but he was killed by Heimdall in the process (McCoy). It was the goal of Loki to plunge the universe back into chaos and at Ragnarok, he was
They threatened his life if he couldn’t find a way to prevent the giant from completing the wall. At the end of the day, the giant and his horse went into the forest in search of stone. While in the forest, they came across a mare, who was Loki in disguise. The
Loki, portrayed by Tom Hiddleston, is a relatively sadistic and twisted villain who comes across more as an angry and petulant child who has waited, biding their time to hatch a nefarious plan, rather than a mischievous entity. Within the context of our studies, I found him to be more of a trickster than a villain outright, leaving that aspect of him only for the end and climactic buildup with the onset of Ragnarok due to the death of Balder caused by his (Loki) own hands. Balder was also obviously absent from the film and was never mentioned or even hinted at. Of course, there was an artistic liberty taken in the decision making process to change the ethnicity of Heimdall with the casting of Idris Elba. While I didn't fully understand why, with maybe the exception about it being a strictly business perspective in Hollywood, he must have "read" well for the casting of the character.
...lly, Ragnarok, or the end of the world, is the biggest difference between Norse mythology and most all mythologies including Greek. Ragnarok is the essential “end of the world” although no actual destruction of the world comes to pass during it. Ragnarok is a very detailed battle where all the warriors from Valhalla fight with Odin and the rest of the Aesir against the Jotnar and Loki (the god of trickery). This cannot be compared to anything in Greek mythology Because Greek Mythology doesn’t have an equeivalent to Ragnarok or anything close.
Odin is the ruler of the gods in Norse mythology. He was stuck by his own spear pinned to the World Tree. There he learned nine songs and eighteen runes. Odin lives in Asgard; from his throne he observes everything that happens in the nine worlds. Valhalla is a hall in Asgard where the dead warriors are taken; Odin is also known to reside there (pantheon/odin).
Thor is the son of Odin and a Giantess. Thor is connected with both the Earth and the sky due to his parents, the sky through his father and the Earth through his mother. He is one of the Aesir Gods and is considered one of the strongest amongst them.
