Tales of Asgard
Series 1, Episode 5
Sword of Surtur
Opens with Kára taking Sif around the training facilities at Kona Lifandi. She sees that Sif is still conflicted about joining the Valkyries and tries to convince her.
We then see Thor, Loki and the Warriors Three (Balder edition) arrive in Jotunheim where Surtur's sword (Elderstahl) is supposed to be buried.
Skidbladnir is dashed on the ice and they all just about manage to escape. Thor wonders why Loki is quite calm while the others are all freezing. Loki jokes that he is just tougher.
They disturb a nest of Frost Sprites and are swarmed for minute, but manage to flee. As they wander they begin to grow desperate and begin to give up hope in the quest and wonder if they'll get home. They daren't use the bifrost as that will alert the Jotuns to an Asgardian presence. Thor and Loki have a heart to heart, discussing the inheritance of the throne, how they love the story of how Odin (with his father and brothers and the armies of Asgard) defeated the Jotuns and what their peace deal meant for Algrim and his people. And the one where they defeated Surtur. That story, and Loki's prompting helps them find direction. They find the cavern where Elderstahl is said to be hidden but the ice breaks underneath them.
Meanwhile, in Asgard, the taverner has come to Odin for compensation for the damage to his bar. Odin scoffs and is about to get angry when the taverner shows him Thor's lost sword (see episode 4). Odin starts to realise what his sons are up to.
In the cavern, the adventurers come to. Loki has found the Sword of Surtur (Elderstahl). It is huge and embedded in the ice above them.
Hogun frees it with a throw of his mace. Thor takes it and it magically transforms to the right size for him. He unsheaths it and a great blast from it blows a hole in the cave roof. Loki is worried they will get caught with the weapon in Jotunheim. Thor says no one can stop them with it in their possession. The group are concerned about Thor's attitude. What they don't know is that the sword exerts a malevolent influence over the user, bringing out their worst qualities. In Thor's case, it is his bravado and the need to prove himself.
On leaving the cave, Thor reveals he plans to travel to Kona Lifandi and get winged horses. The group say the Valkyries will never help them. Thor says that Sif will.
Balder takes Fandral's cartoon dialogue here (implying that many Valkyries are his previous lovers) so we will need to see him womanising in previous episodes, whilst seeing that he is genuinely interested in Nanna.
We cut to a Frost Sprite making their way to King Laufey of Jotunheim. They whisper to him and give him a scrap of Hogun's coat. Laufey tells his scouts to follow the scent.
Thor, Loki and the Warriors Three (Balder edition) find their path out of Jotunheim blocked by two enormous frozen guards. Realising there is no other way and with Laufey's scouts visible, they try to sneak past the sentries.
When the pursuing group call out to the guards they break out of their icy slumber and attack. Loki is separated. In trying to defend his brother, Thor foolishly draws Elderstahl. Despite the legendary weapon, the guards continue to approach. Thor swings the weapon and blasts the sentries, destroying one of them and the pass. The other falls into the abyss.
Thor is horrified. This is his first kill, it was somewhat accidental and he underestimated the power of Surtur's sword. Also, it would never have happened if he hadn't gone on the quest in the first place. He is (metaphorically) frozen in place.
Loki is sympathetic but tells him they must all leave. He thinks they should use the Bifrost. Balder says that they shouldn't confirm their Asgardian heritage. Hogun believes that ship has sailed. Balder says they can't take that chance. They leave.
The Jotun scout captain has recognised Loki (Odin's runt). He orders his men to repair the bridge and muses that two others bore resemblance to Odin's sons. He swiftly returns to Laufey and tells him that Elderstahl has been found and that he believes the sons of Odin did it on account of recognising Odin's runt.
Laufey sighs and tells General Geirmarr to prepare to march on Asgard.
Mostly based on...
Tales of Asgard
Season 1, Episode 6
If He Be Worthy
We see the group escape into Kona Lifandi. A temperate jungle set in the branches of the world tree (Yggdrasil). This is where the Valkyries have made their home.
Thor, Loki and The Warriors Three (Balder edition) are climbing up through the branches to get to the citadel. Balder warns Thor that the Valkyries are strictly a female warriors only society and won't take kindly to them being found there. Volstagg jokes that Balder would be in special trouble as he was the ex boyfriend of many of those female warriors. Thor, in no mood for jokes, only intends to find one. The others vow to remain hidden, though Loki is reluctant to let Thor go alone. Thor makes his way through the jungle and manages to find Sif on her way back to the training camp after bathing (in the cartoon she was in the middle of taking her robe off to bathe which seems like a blatant excuse to have a teen female character semi naked). He approaches her with a request for winged horses. She is angry at first but after Thor explains the trouble he is in she relents but says she can't help and he should go before he is captured. He reveals Elderstahl, but before she can respond he is actually captured.
Meanwhile the Jotun King, Laufey, has led a war party to Asgard. Odin goes to discuss terms for peace, with Laufey then revealing that Thor took the Sword of Surtur and killed two sentries in his escape. Odin is shocked.
He then returns to Algrim to relay the grim news and Laufey's terms for peace. The Jotuns want Elderstahl returned before sundown.
Algrim reasons that our heroes are trying to keep their identity a secret and will not call for Heimdall. They do not realise that it is too late. He knows that they will have to make their way through Svartalfheim to get back to Asgard without acess to a ship or the Bifrost. When he agreed that he would keep Thor's quest secret, he didn't think he would get that far. He reasoned that the Warriors Three (Balder edition) would manage to bring him home. He underestimated the boy. He also had no idea that Loki would get involved. Feeling bad about keeping Thor's secret Algrim offers to go to Svartalfheim, despite the traumatic memories of the previous war between the Frost Giants and the Dark Elves there (he lost most of his people including his family). He will go with Captain Ander and a small band of Einherjar.
Back in Kona Lifandi, Thor wakes up in chains and sees that Kára, leader of the Valkyries, has Elderstahl. Sif is conflicted but, for now, stands with the Valkyries.
Kára says that Asgard should not have sent him, even with such a weapon. Full of bravado as ever, Thor says that he did not come alone. Kára simply points upwards to the Warriors Three suspended from the ceiling by their hands ("you were supposed to stay hidden!").
Balder tries to reason with her (he is not flirty with her like Fandral is in the cartoon) saying that the Valkyries were once Asgard's elite warriors, sworn defenders of the throne. She warns him to be quiet as there are many Valkyries who would enjoy taking his head. She says that spies are executed, princes of Asgard or otherwise. She points to the skeleton of Odin's last spy, riddled with arrows, suspended from a nearby column. Sif is having trouble with the thought of this happening to her friends, especially Thor.
Thor tries to be more reasonable:
Thor: Princes would make terrible spies.
Kára: Clearly...I think Odin sent you to control Sif because she left Asgard.
T (spots Loki hiding behind the column and trying to play it cool): We simply need horses. Please, release us so that we may return before it is too late.
K: You may have angered the Frost Giants, but I believe you mean to return this weapon to Odin, to conquer the nine realms once again and any that stand in his way.
T: I am only trying to prevent it from falling into the wrong hands.
K: Who are you to judge who is worthy?
T: ...
K (the sword is beginning to have an effect on her): Perhaps it will be my sword.
She realises it is missing and sees Loki holding it in front of Thor. He is threatening to unsheath it unless his friends are released. The blade emits a fiery glow. The Valkyries ready their bows. Kára simply states that if he doesn't stop they will kill Thor. Thor concurs and says the sword should never be used again. Loki concedes and gives Elderstahl to her. She then orders them executed (is it the power of the sword?). This is too much for Sif. Kára says she can join them.
Then the Frost Giants attack! They repaired the crossing (see episode 5) and followed from Jotunheim.
Despite resistance from the Valkyries they move swiftly through the citadel.
Big battle sequence here (for Brunhilde read Kára, for Fandral read Balder, for bear read frost beast):
"Just then Brunhilde notices that her breath is cold. She asks what is going on and Loki realizes that it's the Jotuns.
The wall of the camp freezes and a giant breaks through it. The debris crashes into the camp and slams near the Asgardians. One piece knocks Brunhilde out cold.
A group of giants enter the compound. The leader, who chased the Asgardians before, tells them to kill everyone and get the sword. The Valkyries ready their bows. The giants step through the buildings and begin to smash them.
The Valkyries fire their arrows which stick in the giants but to no effect. The leader brings down his mighty ax among the Valkyries. A group of Valkyries fly in on horses but the giants smack them away. More arrows fly at the intruders.
Thor struggles to break the chains as the fight rages behind him. Sif comes to him but stops when the Warriors Three call out for help. She readies an arrow but a bear storms her. She fires and nicks the rope. She then leaps out of the throne room followed by the bear. She lands on her horse and flies away with the bear in pursuit.
The patrol leader makes his way to the throne room. He pushes the Warriors Three out of his way. The giant's shadow passes over Thor as he looks at the sword and unconscious Brunhilde. He renews his determination and eventually breaks the chains.
The giant approaches the sword as the three continue to swing around.
Thor grabs a spear and runs ahead of the giant. Brunhilde wakes to see the giant's foot coming down on her. Thor runs underneath and readies the spear against the ground. The spear pierces the giant's foot and he staggers back, letting go of his ax, in pain.
The giant stops and tells the murdering Thor that he is going to die. Thor and Brunnhilde look down and see Sif leading the bear back into the chamber. She approaches the giant and dodges at the last moment. The bear slams into the giant forcing him out the chamber and into a building below.
Sif flies around and lands. She gets off the horse and runs to Thor. The Warriors Three continue to swing and the rope finally breaks. The bear looks up and the three slam down on its head knocking it out.
Fandral opens the mouth and asks the others to help him get the fangs...
...Outside, the Valkyries watch as a giant forms a giant snowball. He then throws it at the Asgardians.
Loki steps in front of Sif and Thor and casts a spell. The ball turns to water and splashes them all.
The Warriors Three run up and Volstagg says not to show any mercy. But Brunhilde quickly stops them. They turn and see her holding the sword out to them. Thor asks why not let them help with the giants. Brunhilde says that the men assume they cannot defend themselves.
She gives the sword and tells them to take it. She orders Sif to provide horses and escort them to Asgard. Thor fastens the sword to his belt. Sif agrees and they turn to leave. Brunnhilde stops Sif saying that she should only return when she is truly ready to join them.
High above the now frozen Kona Lifandi, the six Asgardians fly away on Pegasus."
Obviously for the Warriors Three read Warriors Three (Balder edition)! Balder takes the fang as a trophy to impress the women back in Asgard. We will later see him give it to Nanna. He has decided after being embarrassed in Kona Lifandi that he will stop womanising and genuinely likes Nanna anyway. His reputation precedes him so he has some work to do!
Kára changes her mind as the Frost Giant attack has given Thor's story credence and he also saved her life rather than take the sword.
Algrim leads a group of Einherjar into Svartalfheim and details the atrocities against his land and his people. They then come across Thor's group and Algrim warns of the impending war. Realising it is his doing, Thor hands Elderstahl to a hesitant Algrim for safe keeping. It begins to corrupt him immediately, releasing his trauma and anger, which turns him against Odin and Asgard. He kills the Einherjar (including Captain Ander). He makes for Asgard on a Valkyrian pegasus. After picking up Ander's sword, the group pursue.
Thor goes to battle Algrim who has gone to kill Odin for his part in the Dark Elves/Frost Giants war. The others hold the Frost Giants back as the deadline has passed.
Algrim gravely injures Odin in battle. After a brief fight Thor captures him, though Elderstahl is loose in the darkness.
Algrim is then apparently killed by Loki with Elderstahl just as Thor was beginning to talk him around.
Loki's first "kill" is an unarmed man by the way, killed in a fit of rage too.
Thor goes to face his punishment from the Frost Giants and finds Laufey is merciful upon Thor offering up Elderstahl.
NB :-
I feel like the sword should be a corrupting influence which brings out your worst qualities (similar to the Challenge Cup) such as Thor's bravado. That would make Algrim's heel turn more understandable.
No Sif kiss/romance (as happens in the cartoon) as she is doubly conflicted and also grieving for Haldor (see episode 3).
We replace the cartoon's Amora with Sigyn as Sylvie is clearly meant to be the MCU's Enchantress.
Volstagg and Hogun are dismissed from the Einherjar for their disobedience and recklessness despite Balder's pleas. Balder is demoted but not dismissed as he is the King's son (nepotism at work).
Once recovered, Odin has Thor try to lift Mjolnir as he recognises his level of maturity has risen.
Because of realising and facing the consequences of his actions, he is worthy. Loki is quietly like, "Srsly? WTF!", and is mad jealous.
End credits - Algrim has secretly escaped (we can see him desperately trying to wriggle free as Thor monologues and uses the flash of Loki's attack to escape into the darkness) he barely survived but dark elves are even hardier than Asgardians.
He starts his search for Malekith.

Tales of Asgard
Season 2
Some time has passed. They are young adults now.
Balder is much less part of the group now. He still counsels and trains Thor and has taken Algrim's role as advisor to Odin. We see his romance with Nanna blossom over the next few episodes.
Episode 1
Langobards
A tale from Frigga about the "bearded women" (Langobards).
The story is in the above article under attestations.
A group of Winniles, settled in a new country some years past, were given a demand by the Vandals of tribute or battle.
The matriarch of the Winniles, Gambara, thought they should not weigh down their new nation with years of tributes. They had to fight to be free. Though they were brave and skilled, they were fewer than the Vandals.
The Vandals asked Odin for favour in battle. Odin merely stated;
"Those that first catch my eye at sunrise, shall be granted victory."
Gambara sought the help of Frigga who advised;
Come from the East at dawn, bring your long haired women with you. Let their hair down, arranged around the face like a beard"
Frigga made sure to turn the bed around and rolled Odin over to face the east. On waking he couldn't help but notice these pretty bearded folk, saying;
"Who are these longbeards?"
Frigga replied;
"As these Longbeards, as you named them, have caught your eye first, you must give them the promised victory."
The thematic link here is winning with your brain, which of course Thor does not heed. Also a variation on bearded ladies.
Then...
Thor has lost Mjölnir to an unnamed thief (implied to be Loki, but without Thor realising). Thor is at once livid and distraught. Loki becomes a bird (claiming it is the one thing Odin taught him) and "discovers" an Utgard giant (Thrym) has it and wants Sif's hand in marriage as ransom. Sif, of course, flatly refuses so Thor has to pretend to be Sif (in the norse legend this is Freya, but Sif is again swapped in to keep things simple). Loki changes gender (does he look like Sylvie? Because that would bring an extra level of weird to Loki's TV series) to be handmaiden to Thor's heavily veiled "Sif". Handmaiden Loki helps "Sif" to get through the wedding dinner (including excusing "Sif's" extraordinary appetite). Mjölnir is eventually revealed and Thor takes his revenge. At the end, Loki reveals to Sigyn that he secretly got paid for both jobs.
Tales of Asgard
Series 2, Episode 6
The Death of Balder
Balder the Brave is plagued by bad dreams. World ending dreams, fratricidal dreams, dreams of pain and suffering. One night he dreams of his own death. He keeps trying to pass them off as nothing but Nanna knows better. She goes with him to see Frigga.
Frigga tries to ease his fears but admits the she has also had the dream of his death.
Troubled, she speaks to Odin who resolves to investigate. He disguises himself as Wanderer, son of Warrior. He asks for a seer, an interpreter of dreams. They say there was a wise woman who could have helped you but she is dead. He is directed to a grave site near Niflheim. He casts runes and incants etc, eventually raising a spirit.
She tells him that Balder is coming to the land of the dead.
He asks how, she tells him only something small will hurt him
He asks who, she tells him only someone innocent.
She sees he is not Wanderer, son of Warrior. He is Odin.
He sees she is not the wise woman. She is Angraboda who laid with Loki and birthed Jormungundr, the world serpent.
She says like father like son (hinting that she is the mother of one of his children, revealed in Ragnarok to be Hela, his secret first child).
She disappears.
He returns and tells all to Balder and Nanna outside their home. Frigga has a plan! She will ask all things to swear not to hurt Balder (spoiler alert - she forgets mistletoe).
The others are sceptical so she demonstrates by slinging a stone at Balder. It changes course and flies around him. They laugh.
Volstagg sees and has a try. He calls Hogun and Fandral. Fandral tries. Hogun thinks it's a stupid thing to do, so sits with Sif and Nanna.
Soon the whole royal court and a few others are all having a go using more dangerous methods. Some one has brought mead. Nanna is worried and starts asking them to stop. Balder thinks it's all hilarious.
Loki stands, a contemptuous look on his face. He then spies Frigga talking worriedly to Odin and sneaks over disguised as an old woman. He hears her saying that she forgot mistletoe. Odin says don't worry it's so small and insignificant. She vows to ride to the nearest patch anyway. Odin says take Sleipnir. Of course, when she gets there, Sleipnir is gone. She borrows Gullenbursti and rides to the patch but the patch is gone. She realises and rides back as fast as she can.
We see Loki approach Hodr who is blind asking people what is going on, but they are all too busy playing their new game and many are a bit drunk.
Loki asks why he doesn't join in the fun. He says he can't aim and has no weapon. Loki hands him mistletoe transmuted into a spear. He lines him up and helps him throw then vanishes.
The spear, of course, kills Balder. The merriment dies down as he falls. Nanna screams. Silence.
Hodr asks what's happening, does Balder think it's funny. Nanna asks if Hodr threw the spear. He says yes, did it work? Nanna pulls out a dagger. Odin says no, think of the consequences. She does. Hodr dies without being able to name Loki. She turns the blade on herself. Frigga says no, think of your son. Balder wouldn't want this. She does it anyway. The gods are stunned.
They can't believe Hodr would harm anybody, let alone Balder. And they are shocked at Nanna's reaction. Odin remembers the old lady behind him when they talked about mistletoe. He had never seen her before. Sif hesitantly says she saw Loki with Hodr just before but didn't see the weapon (she knows he will be punished severely if not killed).
Odin orders Loki found. The Einherjar (Cpt Harokin, Tyr etc), Volstagg and Hogun are all too happy to go Loki hunting. Odin allows it. Thor objects, still not believing Loki could truly kill his brother. Frigga says you must have proof. They go anyway.
Odin says we have work to do. He sends Fandral with Sleipnir (fast combo) to Niflheim to plead for Balder's return with the goddess of death. She (Hela, though she doesn't reveal her identity to Fandral) says she'll let Balder go back if all living things in Asgard weep for him. The Einherjar, Sif and the Warriors Three all go about making sure all living things weep for Balder (not hard, everything loved him). But one ornery old Asgardian lady flat out refuses. Of course this was Loki in disguise (Hela knew this would happen and revels in Odin's distress). They later suspect as much but have no proof. Again.
Balder and Nanna's funeral scene (we'll cut Thor's Dwarf murder that is actually for real in the Norse legend).
Someone surely mourns for Hodr as most of the gods believe it was Loki. They are simply waiting for proof. And he is about to give it to them.
They retire to Volstagg's (Aegir in the norse legends) hall to drink from the magically replenishing kettle. The wake in Asgard is sacred (sacred drinking!) meaning no quarrels. Emboldened by this knowledge, Loki gatecrashes. He speaks to Hogun (Eldir in the legend), who is helping serve.
Loki (already drunk): Good evening my fine fellow! What occupies the great Asgardian gods this evening.
Hogun: This is Balder's wake. Your brother's wake.
L: Yes, yes I know all that. But what are the gods discussing over their mead?
H: They mostly speak of Balder...also of weapons and their prowess in war. No one here has anything friendly to say about you.
"Loki says that he will go into the feast, and that, before the end of the feast, he will induce quarrelling among the gods, and "mix their mead with malice". Hogun responds that "if shouting and fighting you pour out on" to the gods, "they'll wipe it off on you". Loki then enters the hall, and everyone there falls silent upon noticing him." (source - Wikipedia)
Fandral (Fimafeng in the legend), also serving, tells him that he is not welcome.
Loki rages at him and insults him.
The gods nearby stick up for the two servers that confronted Loki and says that they are fine servers and Loki pulls a knife on Fandral who is nearby.
Frigga shames him into putting it away.
He does so, mumbling that he "couldn't bear to hear it".
"Breaking the silence, Loki says that, thirsty, he had come to these halls from a long way away to ask the gods for a drink of "the famous mead". Calling the gods arrogant, Loki asks why they are unable to speak, and demands that they assign him a seat and a place for him at the feast, or tell him to leave. Hogun (The skaldic god Bragi in the legend) is the first to respond to Loki by telling him that Loki will not have a seat and place assigned to him by the gods at the feast, for the gods know what men they should invite.
Loki does not respond to Hogun directly, but instead directs his attention to Odin, and states..."
(source - Wikipedia)
L: Do you remember, Odin, when in bygone days
You treated me as your son?
Am I not to be seated at my own brother's wake?
O: ...Let the wolf's father be seated.
(In the Norse legend, Loki is literally the wolf's father. Here it is a jab at the dramatic scenes after Fenrir's capture).
Odin has Thor pour out a drink for Loki. Loki toasts all the gods naming Hogun as an exception.
He then goes on to insult a great number of gods whilst taking care not to make it a quarrel.
Loki, in his own personal hell here, takes his anger and guilt out on all the other gods.
Everyone is greatly offended, not to mention mostly convinced of Loki's guilt.
Frigga tries to shame Loki again, asking him what Balder would think of all this if he were here.
“Ah! Frigg,” said Loki scathingly, “I can see you’d like to know more about my skills. It was I who fixed things so that you’ll never again welcome Balder home.” (source - https://thenorsegods.com/lokis-flyting/)
Pandemonium. Odin shouts for order. He will not have Balder's wake sullied.
"Freyja replies that Loki is lying, that he just wants to "yelp about wicked things" that gods and goddesses are furious with him, and that he will go home thwarted. In response, Loki calls Freyja a malicious witch, and claims that Freyja was once astride her brother Freyr, when all of the other laughing gods surprised her and Freyja then farted." (source - Wikipedia)
Different gods try to get him to shut up and he offends them all in return. He says Njörd slept with his sister too, that Frey bought his wife, reminds Skadi that he was chiefly responsible for the death of her father, and that Heimdall can never sleep or sit (even though he's sitting now).
Sif tries to make peace by refilling his drink and he infers that he slept with her. She goes to smack him but Volstagg catches the fist and says not here, not now.
Thor can't take it any more. He believed in Loki until the last but now he sees the truth. Loki killed Balder.
Thor: ...if it weren't for the sacred nature of this night...I should break every bone in your body and it still would not be enough.
“Look everyone!” cried Loki, unabashed. “Here’s the Son of Asgard (NB changed from Son of Earth)! What a blustering bully you are, Thor." (source - https://thenorsegods.com/lokis-flyting/)
T: I shall not loose Mjölnir, not for your sake, but for Balder's.
For your admission, you know we will come for you. We will be here till morning, you have the night to do as you please. Use it wisely.
"Loki raised one hand and shook his head. “I’ve shown the gods and sons of gods the sharp edge of my thoughts. But because of you and you alone, I think I’ll take my leave now. I know all about your strength.”
Loki paused and looked defiantly around him and then addressed self to his host. “You’ve brewed fine ale, Volstagg, but you’ll never hold another feast such as this.” Loki’s voice was rising. “Flickering flames will gorge on this hall and gut it and destroy everything you own; your body will be flayed by fire.”
Loki turned and was gone and his terrible words still echoed round walls. For a long time the gods and goddesses and elves stared into their ale, shaken and grieving. In silence they sat, and in silence they rose and left Aegir’s hall."
(source - https://thenorsegods.com/lokis-flyting/)
Odin orders Sigyn released thinking that her presence will draw him to the family home. It will, but not for the reasons Odin suspects.
Sigyn is duly released to the family home. She suspects that her release is a ruse. Her mother is upstairs caring for her two sons, Narfi and Váli. Loki is brooding down by the fire. He is using nettle yarn to make a net. There is silence for a while. Then...
S: What did Lorelei whisper to you when you left me in the dungeon?
(Quick flash of Lorelei whispering)
L: ...(Loki bristles)
S: What are you doing?
L: ...
S: Are you making something?
L (without looking up): Yes, obviously I'm making something...
S: Won't you tell me what it is?
L: No.
S: Where are the boys?
L: ...
S: Loki!
L: Upstairs. With your mother.
S: ...
L: ...
S: Lorelei enjoyed talking about Asgard's pain...
L: ...
S: ...because of Karnilla's invasion.
L: ...
S: I know that Karnilla took you as her prisoner.
L: ...
S: She told you didn't she? You know my secret.
L: ...
S: You are angry because you think that my love is a lie.
L: ...
S: I liked you first!
L: I am trying to concentrate.
S: I knew I needed to learn more about sorcery to hold your interest and it is like she knew-
L: I don't care
S: She came to me and taught me all the things she thought you would be interested in-
L: I don't care!
S: And I taught them to you!
L: I DON'T CARE! (goes to leave)
S: Wait! Listen! Karnilla thought it too great a risk to be in Asgard, so she showed me ways to leave. Ways without being seen by Heimdall...
Loki: Tell me more.
Cut upstairs to Sigyn's mum, one of the boys tells her that some people are coming. She shouts down that some people are coming.
Sigyn says go, he throws his creation into the fire and goes without saying what his escape plan is. Out the back, he jumps into Franang's Falls whilst turning into a silver salmon.
When Thor and Sif (taking the place of a god called Kvasir in the legends) arrive at Sigyn's home, there is, at first glance, no sign of Loki. They give Sigyn to the Einherjar to hold but leave the boys with her mother (in the legends they meet a gruesome end because of their father's crimes). They grill her about Loki's escape plan but she tells them he deliberately told her nothing so she there was no chance of betrayal.
Sif spies the ashes of Loki's creation and deduces that it was a net. Loki was trying to figure out how his plan might be foiled so he must have...turned into a fish. He is probably hoping they will leave without discovering his plan as he will have to jump up the waterfall otherwise. Sif has them recreate the net and they cast it in repeatedly to force Loki's hand. It works and he leaps over the net and tries desperately to get up the falls where Thor catches him (he really is a good fisherman!).
"The gods brought their net, and they wrapped it tightly around the fish and carried it between them. The salmon began to drown in the air, gasping for water, and then it thrashed and twitched, and now they were carrying a panting Loki.
"What are you doing?" he asked. "Where are you taking me?"
Thor just shook his head and grunted, and did not reply. Loki asked the other gods, but none of them would tell him what was happening, and none of them would meet his eye." (source - Neil Gaiman's Norse Mythology)
They take him and Sigyn to a cave where Odin is waiting. They bind Loki to some rocks. Skadi brings a large serpent which they bind above Loki. Odin explains that the (figurative) poison that Sigyn has been pouring into Loki's ear has led to all this (eg family dysfunction, treason...fratricide). She will now be responsible for preventing the poison from pouring into his ear, he says as he hands her a bowl.
Sigyn: What will I do when the bowl is full?
Odin: Empty it.
S: But the poison will fall on him then.
No answer.
S (realises that's the point): How long?
O: One. Thousand. Years.
As Skadi is preparing the serpent for this end (ie binding it so the fangs are exposed). Loki laments his fate.
Odin (furious): You killed my son! You are lucky I don't have your children tear eachother's guts out in front of you!
(A reference to the gruesome fate of Loki's sons mentioned above)
Loki: I am your son!
O: You are no son of mine.
L: Where is mother? Does she know about -
The first drip of poison lands in Loki's ear. His scream is deafening, agonising. All the gods wince, save Odin who looks on grimly. Sigyn immediately begins to catch the drips.
Sigyn: Please! I think Lorelei had something to do with it!
Thor: Save your lies witch. No one believes them.
S: Loki came to see me in the dungeon, I think she whispered to him on the way out.
T (wry laugh): Loki wasn't allowed to hear any more of your treasonous poison.
Volstagg: No men were allowed near Lorelei.
S: He's a shapeshifter, you fool!
O: Enough.
S: Lady Sif, please. You know what Lorelei is like. I swear it in truth!
O: Enough!
S: Ask Frigga!
O: ENOUGH!
The gods all leave. Save Odin. When the others are gone he tells Sigyn she can leave any time she pleases. He adds that she cannot free him as he is bound with Gleipnir (the same type of ribbon that Fenrir is bound with). Loki tries to plead with him as he leaves but there is no mercy. The bowl is filling up.
Despite the Warriors Three trying to dissuade her and making sure Thor doesn't find out and think she's been fooled by Sigyn's ruse, Sif talks to Frigga.
Frigga senses that there may be something in this (she has a limited ability as a seer). Sigyn seemingly gets thrown back in the dungeon saying they used her to trick Loki. She laments Loki's fate and blames Karnilla and carefully questions how Lorelei discovered her power and how it works and strokes her ego etc etc. And she laments and questions and cajoles and tricks until Lorelei slips up and essentially admits her part and her and Sigyn's connection to Karnilla. "Sigyn" then becomes Frigga and tells the female guards who were waiting outside to come and put the newly invented Asgardian collar on her (the wearer cannot speak).
We then see Thor brooding into the middle distance. Sif suddenly approaches and tells Thor all. He Mjölnirs over to Loki's prison cave, winces at a Loki scream, tries to dismiss the guards, fails, barges in anyway, tries to undo Gleipnir and fight off the guards at the same time, he can't. Sigyn is shocked but continues to hold the bowl. Thor is getting dangerously close to decking the Einherjar guards when Frigga arrives on Sleipnir and harangues the guards for not obeying a prince of Asgard and tells them about the new evidence. Thor uses the distraction to try and undo Loki's bonds again but between his high stress level and his big meaty hands and the enchantment on the ribbon he can't do it. He gets Sigyn to swap with him and she proves more up to the task, releasing him as Frigga uses magic to release the enchantment on the ribbon. He obviously needs medical assistance. Frigga says Eir is coming. Sigyn holds him. Thor is so very sorry.
Epilogue:-
Some time has passed. Sigyn broods out of the window at the family home. Her boys come to comfort her.
Odin sits stony faced on his throne with no joyful courtiers about him.
Frigga grooms Sleipnir and gives him a cuddle.
Sif and the Warriors Three sit by the fountain where they told tall tales in s1. The Warriors Three are telling tall tales again, especially Volstagg, to the amusement of the people nearby. Thor's response is quite muted.
Sif slides up and guesses that he's still thinking of Loki. She points out that Loki has been watching them from the shadows the whole time. Thor thanks her again for going to Frigga, otherwise Loki's screams would still be echoing across Asgard. She says she may not be fond of Loki but she couldn't see someone suffer like that if they might be innocent. If that term can apply to Loki. She still doesn't trust him. But he is Thor's brother...
We cut to Loki watching. Thor comes to join him. Hands him a tankard and pours a drink for him.
They discuss how everything is different now from when they were boys. They talk about some of their past adventures, and for a moment they feel happy and nostalgic. Then Loki falls silent.
Thor: How is the ear?
Loki: It's nearly healed...
T: ...Have you managed to see Sigyn recently?
L: ...After everything that has happened, everything we put eachother through, what Karnilla put us through...we can no longer look eachother in the eye...
My children have become strangers to me. I hear mother visits them though.
T: (nods)...
L: ...
T: ...Has mother has found a cure for Lorelei's enchantment yet?
L: ... ... ...
T: Ah. Not yet.
L: ...
T: ...We may never know exactly what Lorelei said to you...
(FLASHBACK to the whisper:-
Lorelei: Loki...you served me before, remember?
I heard you complaining about Balder. You want him dead, don't you? Me too. Kill him, it will be our little secret...don't tell...)
T (continuing): ...not being able to tell anyone that it wasn't really you, that someone forced you to kill your brother, to make sure that he stayed dead...
L (tears in eyes): ...
T: ...I'm sorry I stopped believing in you brother.
L: ...
T: ...
L: ...
(Thor tops up Loki's drink)
T (mock conspiritorially): You know Sif still doesn't trust you?
L: Why doesn't that surprise me?
T: She never really has since you cut off her hair...
L: ...(smirks)...(smirk fades)
T: ...
L: ...Perhaps she's right. Maybe I can't be trusted...
T: You can always be trusted...(Odin impression) for an easy answer, a clever trick, a chance for mischief.
L (turns into Odin): While you are too brash and think winning battles will make you worthy (turns back).
(They laugh)
L (proposing a toast): To glorious purpose!
T: Glorious purpose!
(They drink. Loki has a mischievous look in his eye.)
END
NB These actions, their consequences, Loki's treatment by Odin and the rest of the court (including Thor sometimes), and the brutal punishment for him and Sigyn (which breaks their relationship to smithereens) all feed in to his persona at the beginning of the first Thor movie.
He will have been out of his prison for some time but will obviously still be bitter despite his sort of exoneration.
Important things to remember going forward:
Volstagg and Sif are brother/sister.
In Thor: Ragnarök, Jormungundr will try to kill Hela out of loyalty to their father, but she kills them first. She then uses their poison to destroy Thor's eye (in the norse legend the serpent poisons Thor at Ragnarök).
Odin falls into his final Odinsleep instead of twinkling away when Hela is released (he is simply too weak to keep her in the underworld, not dead). Loki sucks up to the Grandmaster so he'll keep the sleeping Odin safe. There can be some high jinks with a sleeping Odin, like Weekend at Bernie's or something. Odin awakes in time for the Rainbow Bridge battle and is mauled by a vengeful Fenrir whilst protecting his sons. Hulk takes on Fenrir, but it is too late for Odin who dies with pride in his sons (In the norse legend Fenrir kills Odin at Ragnarök).
Fenrir was Loki's pup not Hela's but was locked up with Hela's already dead berserkers and starved to death. This is a pleasant surprise to Hela, who revives him and uses his hatred of the Asgardians and Odin in particular to set him up as a formidable weapon.

ODIN DOES NOT SUPPORT NAZIS
Hela and Loki look significantly more alike than Thor even though Loki is the adopted one. But have we considered Odin did that on purpose?
Odin casted the spell to make Loki look Asgardian and we aren’t told (I’m pretty sure) if Odin chose Loki’s appearance (or parts of it at least) or if the spell just shows what he would look like in a universe where he was born Asgardian.
Did Odin maybe (even subconsciously) make a child that looked like the one he pushed away?
Fictional men I think I could be a better father than
1. Odin from MCU
2. Victor Frankenstein from Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein
3. Probably The Ghost in Hamlet too
Feel free to add on
Tyr and Thor
From experience I can tell you that the eldest child is ALWAYS the first one to see through the bullshit of their parents.
So Tyr is the oldest child in this verse (nothing says otherwise).
When we hear his story, we know he is this calm, peacful, loving person and that he turned on his father to save the giants and innocent people.
Being the peacful person he is, he must have relentlessly tried to talk to his father and convince him before outright turning on him. and there must have been a breaking point for him to give up on his father completely.
I thought to myself: "What was the breaking point?" and then it hit me.
Thor.
A young Thor who had accidentally killed his own mother.
Odin makes his life hell for it. Tyr begs his father to go easy on Thor.
"It was an accident. He's only a child." he would beg. The words only fell on deaf ears as Odin continued to make Thor into his killing machine.
That was the breaking point. That was the day Tyr started working towards Odin's downfall
Tyr didn't turn on Odin for giants. He turned on him for the giant that mattered to him the most.
A mix of increasing Gnosticism in media and the underpowering of Bosses makes me want to root for the bad guys.
History is written by the winners, and the victors never fail to demonize their enemies to justify their actions.
To Odin, the Allfather. I was rooting for ya, you manipulative bastard, and you will be missed.
It would have been really interesting if Tyr was not real.
Like, Tyr is just one of Odin's disguises that Odin used to infiltrate Midgard, Greece, and Egypt to steal their knowledge for himself.
Once Odin had no use for the Tyr disguise, he 'locked it away' until Atreus started looking for Tyr, then Odin used that disguise to spy on Kratos and Atreus.
After all, Odin is also a god of war in norse mythology, Tyr could just be another manifested aspect of Odin.
Besides, having Tyr missing Ragnarok is kind of a waste.

the last chapter | eivor and odin
BASIM: fascinating. eivor grapples with odin’s memories in a way unfamiliar to me. my own struggle with loki was intense but brief, ending with a mutual understanding of who we were. where will this new conflict take you, i wonder?
