u know, in terms of Frigga Discourse:

There is clearly no throne for a queen (or any other consort) there, nor is there space for one. She'd have to sit off to one side, in a much smaller chair that's less... well, that's just less generally, and while I will ignore that (and have!) for fic purposes I think it's interesting anyway.

(It might be Historically Accurate, though possibly by accident? Cos English consort queens weren't usually crowned in the Viking era, as far as I know. Queens are just the king's wife back then, why would you give his wife a throne of her own that's just madness right guys?)

So if - as seems reasonable from what we know - Frigga's been acting as regent while Odin's napping, she gets to sit on The One Chair to do that? (Though having said that this film hasn't heard of regents so maybe she's just King Frigga on those occasions. Why not!)

#usually you can't un-king someone without a civil war happening hence regents #HEY. HEY. DID YOU KNOW THIS IS BASICALLY HOW THE WARS OF THE ROSES STARTED?#also the AMOUNT of gold on Asgard makes me want it to be basically worthless to them because there's just so much of it all over #asgardian peasants with their gold cutlery and their gold plates and so on #“oh that? nah that's just some worthless gold why do you ask?”#maybe the palace is made of solid gold because they couldn't afford bricks and that's actually a source of shame for the realm #AU where King Whoever bankrupts the kingdom in his quest for a nice concrete facade to cover all that embarrassing gold
