In fact,Twilight of the Godsgot several things rightabout Norse mythology.
His role is seriously diminished inTwilight of the Gods, though.
In the show, Heimdall doesn’t appear until the very end, when the final battle begins.

Heimdall has a much more significant role in the MCU.
He is also clearly a very close friend of Thor.
“This same affinity was not shown inTwilight of the Gods.
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.
This change doesn’t mean Sif was unimportant.
InTwilight of the Gods, Sif’s role is quite different.
This portrayal of Sif is also inaccurate, although she is a goddess.
In Norse mythology, Hel is the daughter of Loki and the giantess Angrboa.
This means she is not exactly a goddess; at most, she is a demigod.
The rules of morals and ethics applied to humans are not so clearly defined among the gods.
The same cannot be said of Hela in the MCU, who is an out-and-out villain.
He was also seen as a war god, which at times meant ruthless or violent behavior.
In the MCU, Odin comes across as a kinder father figure, particularly as theThormovies progress.
In the MCU, Loki is an incredibly complex character, which is no doubt part of his popularity.
This revelation leads into Loki’s appearance inThe Avengers, in which he is the main villain.
Throughout this complicated story arc, Loki represents the trickster god he was in Norse mythology.
InTwilight of the Gods, Loki proves to be a similarly complex character.
This is a major difference from Thor in Norse mythology and especially inTwilight of the Gods.
These depictions of Thor really couldn’t be more different, although neither is entirely accurate.
Like many gods in Norse mythology, Thor is seen as neither good nor evil.
