Chapter One: The Man With The Bifröst Eyes

Description: Not many travel up the walls of Asgard, and you are one of the few. When searching for Atreus, you encounter much on your way as a long journey lies ahead of you.

Pairings: Heimdall GOW! x Reader// Thor GOW! x Reader

Warnings: Language, Violence, Gore, Mentions of alcohol, Abuse, Sexual content, sexual assault, mentions of suicide, mental illness may be within this fan fiction. Reader discretion is advised.

You have been warned.

"Tell me another story, Kratos." You asked the spartan before you.

He had been leaning over the large oak table, arms crossed--a grimace alluding to the disdain that was spread across his face. Kratos grunted, his demeanor changing ever-so slightly towards you in the process of your small, sweet request.

His shoulders relaxed, he had time for another tale. As he had been waiting, as everyone else had been waiting for Atreus to return home.

Not that there was much any one of them could do.

Atreus had run off, not being seen for two days. You could see the stoic look upon Kratos's face rub off, a look of worry stretching across it. You reached over to place a hand over his own.

"He will return, Kratos. Atreus is probably visiting home in Midgard. Don't worry." you reassured him.

Clearing his throat, the spartan gave another grunt.

So much for another story, you thought to yourself.

*********************

You couldn't sleep that night, a cold sweat keeping you shivering for warmth.

The light tapping of Sindri working on a blade had stirred you fully awake, while you threw back the fur blanket covering you . Atreus had still not returned, you knew as the bed in your shared room had been empty.

You sighed, the young boy had become a son to you. The thought of him being hurt and alone somewhere terrified you.

You heaved a sigh, bracing yourself to stand. Dressing yourself in the padded leather gear, as well as the gold plated armor, you hefted the long bow over your shoulders, to its dismay it chirped.

"Sorry Grötti." you replied in a hushed whisper.

Lugging your rucksack with you, tying the waterskin as well as the wrapped meats inside you slowly wandered towards the door, Sindri giving you the same worried look as he always did.

"I'll be fine Sindri. I promise." Those words hung in the air as sweetly as they did. The dwarf had scurried over from his table to wrap you in a tight hug.

"Please, be careful." and his words clung to the hands that he held, as you slipped away from him and onto the path that lied before you.

*********

There wasn't much you were worried about, only the boy, Atreus who still was nowhere to be found.

You would bring him home. You only had to find him first.

First, you had checked Midgard, the only would you found were those of the Hel-Walkers, and an angry World Serpent who also had no clue of the whereabouts of the young boy.

Then, the trail led you to Alfheim, then Muspelheim, to Svfartelheim, and finally to Vanaheim. In your last attempt to search for him, every trail of his went cold.

Then it hit you.

He must have went to Asgard.

You shook your head, your worry turned to a haunting desperate feeling as it gnarled your heart in your chest.

You could feel your chest tighten when the thought that he could be trapped by Odin.

Or worse...

He could be dead.

You shoo the thought away, no, Atreus was strong, he was smart. You knew he could handle himself quite well. He always had.

You wished for him to stop looking for trouble. All the while you were also running out of Yggdrasil stones, which meant you could travel to Asgard, however, returning would be a much different outcome.

There was no turning back, and if Atreus was not there, you for sure were going to have a lot more on your plate than trespassing.

************

It felt like hours as you wandered the Asgardian realm, wanting nothing more than to bring Atreus home.

You whispered to yourself, as well as to your bow companion, Grötti, of memories from your childhood.

Memories to keep you going, however, remembering who you were as well as to not fall into the fate of sleep.

You grew tired from the long journey here. Although it was a rather short one, it had been unbecoming, filled with nothing but stress, and bloodshed.

Apart from running into old friends, you were short on energy, and yet, it was a long way up.

An exceedingly, excruciating way up.

The wall had towered up stories high, the town you had went through with Migardian's whom sought shelter from the ever-coming Ragnarok. Their eyes watching as you went by.

You yourself knew that you were not the most inconspicuous, as you towered over many.

Standing at around 6'1, your h/c- a braid that circled your head. The furs and armor that encompassed your body--they admired you.

You were not like the others. However, you presented yourself as kind and generous, a smile never leaving your lips as you traveled up the wall.

Scaling it would prove troublesome.

Your fingers dug into the wall, feet kicking into the rock, finding small grooves to hoist yourself up the wall.

When you made it to a ledge, you made a note that when you reached the top, that you were for sure going to need a bath as well as something to eat.

Your rucksack had been stolen in Alfheim by a dark elf, which also held your source of water, in which you had taken to drink from the clear pools of water on the way up.

Not far ahead you had continued to climb, in the distance above you made out the top of the wall. With as much energy as you could muster, you bent your knees, and lunged forward to grip the ledge above you.

Pulling yourself up, you seated yourself on the ledge to look at how far you had came.

Grötti, chirped, delighted the two of you had made it so far without the help from anyone.

You murmured back that it would have been much easier to have just checked here first. The bow had fell silent once more, and you had been well rested to stand.

It was the middle of day when you reached the top, as the surrounding area was vacant. Not a soul was awaiting your arrival, which felt like the easiest by far.

Hopping down, you scoured the area on top of the wall, and as you peered over it you stared in awe of the city below you.

This was Asgard. In all of its glory, you had made it.

Atreus had to be here.

"Now what do we have here? Don't any of you stupid, filthy mortals have any common sense? Or do you all just fall short from the same tree?" You tensed, your back still turned away from the voice that came from behind you.

Wait, did he just insult you? How disrespectful. You internally seethed, yet you kept your composure as this individual was not your problem at this moment. He could pose for one later though.

"I wouldn't know, yet you would speak just as filthy as those you comment about." You retorted, still facing away.

He scoffed, "Have you come to bask in the glory of Asgard? Or steal from the Aesir?"

You had no time for this conversation, Atreus could be anywhere in the realm. Yet, this person was wasting your time. You slowly turned around, the furs gliding effortlessly behind you, your hair falling back into place.

Grötti had become rather irked by the stranger in front of you, keeping the bow calmly against your back as you spoke once again.

"I have come for a friend of mine. Nothing more."

"Lies." he sneered. "Everyone comes here for more. You could be just as selfish as the rest of those nasty mortals-" you interrupted him when you raised a hand.

"He is but a boy. Ye' high. He ran off, and I could not find him anywhere." You looked down at the ground innocently.

"I am worried sick about him. Have you seen him?" You added.

The stranger not once spoke another word, he stood there, eyes glued to you in disbelief.

"I will take you to him then--" You bowed to him, eyes never leaving his.

"Y/N."

"What?" The stranger asked, a brow raised. The Bifröst of his eyes glowing, swirling into one another.

"My name. And yours, god?" you quipped, that same playfully sweet smile egging the conversation on.

"I am the God of Foresight, Heimdall." He began, staggering towards you with a mission.

"Welcome to Asgard." He frowned as he passed.

 jane couldn’t  help  but  stare at him  with her lips pressed together, all while wearing an expression  mixed  with both  curiosity and  whimsy. it left a lightness in  her  chest  quite unmatched with anything  she’s  felt  before.  they’ve  become  something of a relationship, though  more  in the spotlight than she would have liked, moments like these made up for it.

 it’s always fun to watch the god of thunder get  this ecstatic over a hot dog costume ( even now as he wore it and conversed with their friends ) if she thought about it too much, the cream of the crop so called experts on ‘ mythical legends of gods ‘ and what have you would most likely lose their minds at the scene. that’s why she loved it. it was theirs. “ you know everyone loves the hot dog costume? you’re killing it. “

Marvel’s Phase 4 has seen Thor and Loki going separate ways, and now the Loki series and Thor: Love and Thunder have proven Thor needs Loki more than Loki needs Thor. Following the game-changing Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame, the often intertwined journeys of Thor and Loki became separate for the first time since the beginning of the MCU. Loki is now the star of his own show while Thor has been in his first major adventure without Loki, and the way Loki and Thor: Love and Thunder were received shows that the former worked better than the latter.

Technically, the Loki who had been slowly redeemed after Thor: The Dark World and that was willing to die to save his brother no longer exists. That Loki died in Avengers: Infinity War, and while Avengers: Endgame’s time-heist made it so that a version of Loki could return, the character Tom Hiddleston now plays is not the same character whose death Chris Hemsworth’s Thor cried for. More than allowing Loki to return after his death in Infinity War, the time travel and multiple realities set up made it so that Thor and Loki could finally walk separate paths in the MCU.

Thor and Loki needed to be in separate stories after a decade of fighting either against each other or side by side. Keeping Thor and Loki separate would allow the MCU to take both characters to unexpected places, and it would assure that their roles in Phase 4 and beyond would feel different from what audiences had watched throughout the Infinity Saga. However, Thor: Love and Thunder struggled with tone and with how to nail its main character whereas the Loki series knew exactly how to craft a Loki solo adventure. This shows that, while splitting the pair up was a necessity, Loki is actually faring better by himself than Thor.

The Loki Series Worked Perfect Without Thor

Taking a character who is usually tied with gods and mystical arts and placing them in a sci-fi background could have gone incredibly wrong. However, Loki season 1 proved that Loki works surprisingly well as a sci-fi character within the MCU’s multiverse. One of the first Disney+’s Marvel shows, Loki was released far before the MCU announced its plans for the Multiverse Saga, yet it was the franchise’s first step into the journey that will lead to Avengers: The Kang Dynasty and Avengers: Secret Wars.

There were little to no references to Thor in Loki, and while Loki missed his brother and cried upon learning the events of the Asgardian Ragnarok, the emotional weight of the series was not Loki’s Asgard story. Loki was a character study, one that purposely removed everything familiar from Loki to then deconstruct the villain. Essentially, the reason that Loki worked so well without Thor or anything Asgard-related is that it asked the question of what it means to be a Loki – and the answer had to be more meaningful than just “Thor’s brother”.

Loki Could Have Improved Love & Thunder

The first Thor film not to feature Loki, Thor: Love and Thunder struggled to recapture the magic of Thor: Ragnarok. Love and Thunder had the difficult challenge of repeating everything that worked in Ragnarok while continuing to reinvent Thor as a character, but the result was an unbalanced film whose tone did not match its story. Ragnarok brought a breath of fresh air to Thor’s character, replacing the soulless broody temper seen in Thor, Thor: The Dark World, and the first two Avengers films with a more charismatic, relatable Thor. Ragnarok reinvented Thor while still giving the character and the world around him some level of emotional weight, something that Love and Thunder failed to replicate.

Love and Thunder’s Thor felt sometimes more like a parody of Ragnarok’s Thor than an evolved version of the character. While that is a consequence of Love and Thunder’s tonal problems, it could have been eased by Loki’s presence in the film. Loki is Thor’s emotional anchor in the MCU even when the brothers are placed in comedic moments like Ragnrok’s “get help”, and that is exactly what Love and Thunder lacked.

Thor’s Best MCU Moments Are Still With Loki

The Loki series has some of Loki’s best moments in the MCU, including Loki watching a movie of his life, his earnest conversations with Mobius, and his dynamic with the Loki variant Sylvie. However, when it comes to Thor, the God of Thunder’s best MCU stories are still the ones featuring Loki. The MCU’s Thor is defined by his relationship with Loki, especially because Marvel’s Phases 1 and 2 still hadn’t nailed what the Chris Hemsworth character should be like. The Thor audiences cheered for during Infinity War only came to be because of Loki’s death, which exemplifies how essential Loki is to Thor’s story and how significant Loki’s absence from Thor: Love and Thunder was. As a villain who later becomes an antihero, Loki would always have an easier path to become a “solo main character” himself. Thor, on the other hand, will forever be a hero, which means he will often be defined by his villains.

I have thought about this so much 

[thorkizilla]

Thor: Ragnarok (2017) I WAITED YEARS FOR THIS.  There are some absolutely gorgeous panels in comics of Thor with lightning crackling over his entire body, with lightning in his eyes, but I had never gotten to see it in a movie, never gotten to see it on a big screen, never gotten to see it in full motion. From the moment that Thor leapt down from the palace, the lightning trailing in his wake, in slo-mo as the draugr piled up to rush at him, Immigrant Song starting up, that was when it was everything I could have asked for. The fights with the Hulk were tremendous, I cannot express how much I love seeing the sheer power Thor has, that not only was he on Hulk’s level, but he was gaining on him, Thor was winning.  But this. Oh, this. This was a fight that was all about Thor at its heart.  This was about Thor in a way that no other character can be.  This was about the God of Thunder and Lightning.  This was about Thor having come into his own, having stepped forward to realize the power is his own, rather than Mjolnir’s. He’s never been the God of Hammers.  He’s always been the God of Thunder and Lightning. Seeing Thor’s affect on the world around him in TDW and in this movie, the storms that his emotions bring rolling in (on Svartalfheim, on Earth, in Norway) is amazing.  Seeing Thor pick up a hammer that’s bigger than he is and knocking the Hulk the fuck out of the way is amazing.  Seeing Thor fight with Gungnir is amazing. But when he’s trailing lightning in his wake, when it’s lighting his eyes the fuck up, when he’s slicing downwards with a lightning sword, that.  That’s what I’ve been waiting for. This is the God of Thunder and Lightning.

Wild to be venturing into the MCU fandom (a wee bit) and discovering that Thor: Ragnrok is the one that people didn't like when until very recently it was the only MCU film i'd chosen to watch more than once.

Ibuki Mioda

but she's Thor, the God of thunder.

The first one doesn't really look like Ibuki, but my story is that at first, they take herself seriously, and then during Ragnrok, their in game Ibuki. I didn't do endgame Ibuki, but I don't know what I want yet for endgame Ibuki.

Another Thing

I listened to the Myths and Legends episode on Ragnrok and deadass started crying in the middle of work, that story is so beautiful and for a long time when I looked into heathenism, people never finished the story. They say “Fenrir ate Odin, the gods lost, the end.” and it was sort of really discouraging and why would you sign up for a religion where you know the gods you love are going to die, but the after of Ragnarok when Thor’s sons and Odin’s youngest survive and mjolnir is rummaged from the ashes and Lif and Lifthrasir rise and the gods that survived promise to do better than their flawed fathers is??? so fucking beautiful??? what the fuck??????????

The Hulk: Bruce’s Childhood Dissociative Identity

So, I’ve been sitting on this one for a while and I’m pretty sure it’s kind of an old concept by now. But something hit me after I saw Thor Ragnrok a while back. I realized that the MCU’s Bruce Banner more than likely has DID (dissociative identity disorder--disorder marked by the distinct presence of two or more personality states) which should be pretty obvious, right? It’s ind of the character’s premise, he literally becomes someone else when he’s angry and refers to the Hulk as “the other guy”. He’s aware there’s another presence to his mind.

But I think the Hulk existed well before Bruce was ever hit by gamma rays. Bruce had a rough childhood. Both the comics and those awful films from a few years ago that we all try to forget happened either explicitly state or suggest that Bruce grew up in the care of an abusive father. DID tends to develop in situations of stress for the base personality. Often childhood traumas or sexual abuse can be the reason an alternate personality develops. The Hulk probably came about as the result of physical and psychological abuse and stress experienced by Bruce as a child. The Hulk came about to protect Bruce from his father and took the brunt of what Bruce couldn’t. Hulk sheltered Bruce during times of extreme stress, which is why he came out and got morphed by the gamma radiation instead of Bruce. 

The Hulk’s function is to protect Bruce. He physically doesn’t let him experience harm, keeping Bruce locked away on an alien planet “designed to stress him out” for two years during Ragnrok, and thwarting any suicide attempts before the first Avengers movie came about. (”I put the gun in my mouth and the other guy spit out the bullet”) Hulk shows up any time Bruce is in physical danger, but most importantly he keeps Bruce safe from his own emotional distress. Hulk switches out with Bruce during negative emotions, specifically Anger.

If Bruce grew up in an abusive household where his father was always trying to limit Bruce, then negative emotions of any kind were dangerous, Fear, criticism, and especially anger were all things for which his father  could punish him. Anger may have made Bruce deel like he WAS his father. So the Hulk took them. He embodied all of the negative emotions that were too much, too dangerous, for Bruce to sort out by himself. Bruce never remembers becoming the Hulk because the Hulk has to shield him from negative experiences as a whole. As such, Bruce never has to experience these dangerous negative emotions and never learns to cope. Instead he learns to fear them and fear turning into the Hulk when the Hulk (ironically) only exists to Keep Bruce safe, even  from himself. 

In addition to Bruce’s emotional stunting, Hulk himself is more or less trapped at the age wherein he was manifested. He is effectively a child caught in a perpetual temper tantrum. He has no need to communicate wants or needs beyond the emotions that compose him until he has to keep Bruce safe on Sakaar. He cannot rely on Bruce’s ability to attain food or shelter. He has to fight in combat for acclaim. He has the chance to sustain himself past the initial upset and make actual interpersonal connections with Valkyrie and others. Hulk finally learns to speak out of necessity and opportunity. His logic is pretty simplistic and child-like. He isn’t a rage monster. He’s a kid learning to interact with the world around him.

There are other elements of DID that tie into the Hulk’s powers or existence. Bruce’s anxiety and depression often share comorbidity with DID, and do cause enough distress to interfere in Bruce’s life (additional diagnostic criteria). The Hulk gains strength and seems impervious to pain; there are studies that show that when persons with DID are allowed to disassociate, their alters can handle more pain than the hosts. (pls dont ask me to cite articles I read 5 years ago) Hulk’s resistance to pain and survival tactics are consistent with DID. Even the thing with Black widow calming him down could is a coping technique designed to trigger a personality switch. 

There’s probably a lot more that I’m leaving out here, but it’s been a while since I’ve seen the movies and I’ve forgotten a lot of my original argument. Either way, I think the Hulk existed long before he was big and green. I  believe he was an essential aspect of Bruce Banner’s childhood survival kit, whether Bruce realizes it or not.

Disclaimer: I grew up on Marvel comics and movies, and I took one semester of Abnormal Psych. I base my assumptions off my loose studies of the  DSM4 and DSM5.

@ragnarockedbyhiddles  posted this but it was at the end of a long post that didn’t come out on my blog very well when I tried to reblog it, so I’ve just copied her part of it here.

You will have the privilege of dying at the hands of Thanos.

Guess who died at the hands of Thanos? Loki.

Originally posted by fffemme-fatale

He was different from the rest. A frost giant. Seen as a bad guy. Sacrificed himself for their loved one when he was weak. He was prepared to lose everything. Loki lost his brother’s trust, his parents, half of HIS people too, Asgard, his “throne”, his dignity, his magic (explained later). Loki lost so much…

He had been posing as Odin since The Dark World until Ragnarok. I believe that this, along with imprisoning Odin on Norway for so long, took away his magic or severely depleted him.

So he used the magic he had left to save his brother. To save Thor. This is THANOS. And Loki has been afraid of Thanos ever since the New York incident.

“I will make you long for something as sweet as pain?”

Thanos is Loki’s worst fear. Loki was tortured. Exploited. Used. Forced to commic unforgivable crimes in The Avengers. He saved his people in Ragnrok and half of them before Infinity War. Damn him to Hel if he didn’t save his other half. His brother.

Who do you think was there for Loki as a child? Not Odin. Frigga yes as a mother, but who was the friend he could confide to? Who helped him run when he didn’t want to take medicine, who helped him out with crushes, who helped him execute the plan of, “get help”?

Thor. In the first Thor film, before Loki learned he is a frost giant, there’s a deleted scene where Thor said, “we’re going to Jotunheim. Thor tells the Warriors Three, “You’re not going to let me and my brother have all the glory?” This implies that Thor KNOWS Loki will always go with him, that he always wants his little brother by his side. When Loki questions this and says, “what?” Thor replies with, “you’re coming with me right?” The brothers have always stuck together. Been at each others side, no matter what. Thor doesn’t fight Loki because he is a monster int he first movie, he fights him because he is going to murder an entire race.

Loki knew if he confronted Thanos then he wouldn’t come out alive. He knew this. And he still used theittle magic he had to summon a knife and tell Thanos you will never be a god.

Gods are adored. Cherished. Worshipped. Thanos will never get this. Loki believes in his brother and the Avengers. Believes in his people and the Revengers. Loki knows that Thanos will never have the loving family he has. Loki knows that no one will ever be grateful to see him. Loki knows that he will never watch the sunset on a grateful universe.

So in a way, Loki gets the BEST death. Saving the one he loved- Thor. Telling his greatest fear to fuck off. He died knowing who he is. Loki. God of Mischief. Odinson. A Jotun. A Prince of Asgard. Not King. Prince.

The sun will shine on us again?

Frigga visited Loki in his cell (TDW) And in a deleted scene, she exits and sees Thor. He asks if she ever regrets sharing her magic gifts with Loki.

She replies with, “You and your father cast such large shadows.  I thought that by sharing my gifts with your brother, he could find some sun for himself.

Thor knows that Loki is going to die. And I bet that he remembers that conversation. Loki will see Frigga again. Thor and Loki will be reunited under her sun.

He died a hero’s death, weapon in hand. He can go to Valhalla, see his mother again. The one person who always cared about him no matter what he was or what he did.

So all in all, I’m satisfied with Loki’s death. He got everything he deserved. An emotionally scarring death? Check. One that even non-Loki fans will remember? Check. The greatest Marvel Cinematic villain passed the torch to the most dangerous. Except it wasn’t a torch. It was a dose of fuck you. You will never be me. You will never be the beloved anti hero I am. You will never have people who love you. You will never belong or change. You. Will. Never. Be. A. God.

If he does return, I hope that Thor finds a child Loki in Paris, void of his memories, plagued by his past self and raised by Thor. Thor giving him the father he never had but always deserved.

This is not the end for Loki. He will come back.

And the World will fill with the screams of a million fans when he does.

For those who say that Loki brought this upon himself by stealing the tesseract- think about this. Surtur would explode out of the palace and kill Loki once he put the crown on the flame. Loki is a FROST giant- you don’t think he wants to get as far away as possible from that fire demon? He NEEDED the tesseract to teleport him put of their. He had to steal it to survive.

Though personally I will never accept that the writers or directors wrote Loki out for any other reason than they didn’t know what to do with him. I won’t go into why because if I do, I am going to end up in tears and so, so angry. I copied this post because it contains so much that I hadn’t thought of before about Loki’s death. Thanks, ragnarockedbyhiddles

WHATS IN A NAME DEAR READER -- ? As this blog is mainly MCU / Ragnrok based with both myth & comic influences, I wanted to take a minute to collect my thoughts on the Valkyries FIRST name because ... its something I’ve been asked about, something that is ... p necessary in threads & something I’ve wanted to write down since November ! 

First off - WHAT WE KNOW IN CANON ! In the comics ‘ Valkyrie ’ is the mantle connected to the Asgardian warrior goddess known as Brunnhilde. During the storyline of the comics the spirit of the leader of the Valkyrie finds its home ( thanks to the Enchantress - ) in the bodies of mortal women ( Barbara Norris, Samantha Parrington, Sian Bowen & Annabelle Riggs ). In the comics Valkyrie is called both by that name & the more personal ( I guess ? ) Brunnhilde. In ‘ Ragnarok ’ when she is first addressed she is ‘ Scrapper 142 ′ ( an assigned name given by the Grandmaster ) & when Thor first recognizes her its “ You’re a Valkyrie ! ” - emphasis ( for me on ‘ A Valkyrie ’ not ‘ THE Valkyrie ’ ) that being the singular name for one woman from the elite group of warrior women called the Valkyrior. In the comics & myths ( & for my purposes here ) Brunnhilde / Valkyrie is the LEADER of the Valkyrior - which might lend to the idea she might use that as her name - but its also weird. Surely, she would have her own name & the reason Marvel chose not to give her one officially in ‘ Ragnarok ’ either means they ... are being lazy & giving her the same name as her people, and / or are assuming all Valkyries had the same name ? Or ... will announce it later & -- it could be Brunnhilde ! Or ... it could be something else ... ( over her history the character has been possessed & used by the Enchantress & I’ve read theories that this could be the case in the MCU but - that would have to be something that will be revealed either soon - or ... in the all female Marvel movie wHICH HAS TO HAPPEN RIGHT ? ) Additionally, in the new run of Marvel Exiles - when asked about her name being more of a title Valkyrie says “ It is the only name I wear now. When I was chosen as Lone Defender of Asgard, I forsook all names that came before. Call me only Valkyrie. ” Clearly in an MCU verse she is not the ‘ Lone Defender of Asgard ’ but I like the thought process behind the idea that she is wearing that mantle as a way to honor her people & fellow Valkyrie. For the sake of THIS BLOG - I am going to keep her name as vague as possible until the MCU either just continues addressing her as Valkyrie ( which is fine, I can live with. Its the easiest ? ) & more importantly SHE calls herself that - OR if they and / or she addresses herself as ... something else. I’m fine with other characters calling her Valkyrie or Val - it works ! But if she introduces herself it will get ... a little sticky & a little vague - but I also think that goes along with her characterization, still accepting who she was & -- who she now is. So you’ll see me use ‘ The Valkyrie ’ a lot in my writing but staying away from ‘ Valkyrie said ’ type situations, to keep this flexible & ... MYSTERIOUS ! Also - I will not be using Brunnhilde - until that is confirmed, if other characters would like to ... I am okay with that, but that is not the version of the character I am using at this time, so I can be flexible to stay open to MCU / comic storylines.

Thor (2011) + Thor: Ragnarok (2017):

Thor: There won't be a kingdom to protect if you're afraid to act! The Jotuns must learn to fear me, just as they once feared you! Odin: That's pride and vanity talking, not leadership. You've forgotten everything I taught you about a warrior's patience. Thor: While you wait, and be patient, the Nine Realms laugh at us. The old ways are done! You'd stand giving speeches while Asgard falls! Odin: You are a vain, greedy, cruel boy! Thor:  And you are an old man and a fool! Odin: Yes, I was a fool to think you were ready. Thor Odinson, you have betrayed the express command of your king. Through your arrogance and stupidity, you have opened these peaceful realms and innocent lives to the horror and desolation of war! You are unworthy of these realms! You're unworthy of your title! You are unworthy of the loved ones you have betrayed. I now take from you your power! In the name of my father and his father before, I, Odin Allfather, cast you out! WHOEVER HOLDS THIS HAMMER, IF HE BE WORTHY, SHALL POSSESS THE HAMMER OF THOR.

Hela’s use of Mjolnir once upon a time lends a whole new context to what Thor’s arc over his movies + the Avengers movies already was--his story is one of an immensely powerful god who must either learn to wield it with care towards others or be lost to evil and violence and cruelty, not only himself but everyone else around him.  It lends an entirely new context to Odin’s reaction to Thor’s fight on Jotunheim and his words--words that must have been so much an echo of what Hela may have said once upon a time. The realms must learn to fear her, just like her father.  That he only sits there now and is a fool not to bring the other Realms under the hell of Asgard.  And, just as he did with such a heavy heart, he had to cast her out, her violence and cruelty and vanity too much to bear. Then again he must do the same with Thor. Where Thor is different (and we do not know how many chances Odin gave Hela, though, she would not have wanted them or used them) is that he finds the strength to look around him when he’s pulled up short.  That he becomes worthy of the hammer, that he becomes the great man and great king that his people need him to be. He rules without Mjolnir, because his power is not sourced to it, his power comes from the same place Hela’s does, it comes from within himself and his people, it’s on the same level as hears.  Thor is the redemption of Odin’s line, Thor is the inverse image of Hela and she of him.  Where her greed and cruelty only grew, his was erased and nobility grew in its place instead. I love the ending of Thor: Ragnarok, that Thor may not want the throne, but it only makes him all the more suited to it.  That it’s the next step on the journey his story has taken over the course of these movies, that his people need him and he will sacrifice what needs to be, in order to lead them.  Not because he wants power or fame.  But because it’s right.  It’s finally right. Thor doesn’t need Mjolnir to show that he is worthy in and of himself.  It was a beautiful weapon, it was more akin to a friend for all the years he had it with him. But it was still ultimately a weapon and Thor does not need it to remind himself to be a good man or a good ruler.  He just simply is.
