Twilight of the Gods
Warning!
This post contains SPOILERS for Twilight of the Gods.
Each of these gods, though Thor in particular, was integral to the plot of the show.
This dynamic between Thor and Odin also seems to have been fairly accurate inTwilight of the Gods.
In mythology, however, Sif and Thor were much happier with one another.
Rather than antagonistic and bitter, Thor was said to have great admiration and respect for Sif.

This tension inTwilight of the Godshad considerable truth to it.
In mythology, giants were just as antagonistic as the gods, if not more so.
In mythology, the Valkyrie specifically served Odin, identifying who was truly worthy of Valhalla on his behalf.
Twilight of the Gods is an animated series inspired by Norse mythology. It follows characters such as Thor, Loki, and Odin in a rich narrative that delves into their legendary conflicts and alliances. Directed by Jay Oliva, the series features voice talents including John Bradley, Jamie Chung, and Patton Oswalt, bringing the epic mythological tales to life.
In the show, this is presented with an impressive level of complexity.
Loki was a trickster, but he wasn’t seen as ‘evil.’
In mythology, Thor was known to have a short temper and bouts of violence.
As mentioned, the tensions between gods and giants led to Thor being known as a giant slayer.
However,Twilight of the Godsdidn’t get this entirely right.
Thor’s violence wasn’t as random and masochistic in Norse mythology as it was in the show.
All three characters represent actual figures in Norse mythology, and many of their features remain the same.
None of Loki’s children is technically a god, as their mother was the giantess Angrboda.
Each is therefore a demigod at most.
