The ingenious collision of Norse mythology and modern astrophysics

After watching Thor, my Marvel movie list completion plan is temporarily over. I can only wait for the next Marvel series of movies and American TV series by shaking my legs online.

First of all, I sigh once again that Marvel movie directors are really good at choosing actors. Chris Hemsworth is simply Thor, okay? No matter the appearance or character shaping is exactly the same as Thor in Norse mythology, "Thor is tall and strong, He has leopard eyes and a golden beard." "He is upright and daring to confront Odin. He is grumpy but heroic." Chris is really handsome and naive with a hammer (probably because I read the review first. United, Iron Man and the United States team went to the deep mountains and old forests to find him to cheer up and come back out of the rivers and lakes. He drank all the time and got good health. It was really impressive.) It feels like a simple mind with well-developed limbs, but the most pure and kind. , Feeling and righteous, deeply in love with his father and mother, asgard, jane and even loki, and with the fraternity heart that can tolerate the land of Kyushu, so he can become the king of everthing.

The biggest highlight of this movie is the clever combination of Norse mythology and modern astrophysics and other sciences, giving it a sense of magical time and space. The Nordic mythology system originated from a series of interpretations of the universe by Christians and Catholics in Nordic countries such as Norway and Iceland. Legend has it that the entire universe is a world tree, including "3 levels, 9 worlds, 5 life systems"-the top level is gods Country Asgard and Light Elf Country Álfheim, the middle layer is the Mortal Country Midgard. There is a tri-color rainbow bridge made of ice, fire and air, biforest can lead to the Kingdom of God, as well as another Kingdom of God in the west, Vanaheim, and the Kingdom of Frost/Mountain Giants in the east, Jötunheim. The bottom layer is the dwarf. Kingdom of Svartálfaheim, Kingdom of Underworld Helheim, Kingdom of Fog, Niflheim, Kingdom of Fire Giants, Kingdom of Múspellsheim (this is also similar to ancient Chinese mythology where there are Jade Emperor and various gods, mortals in the middle and regions at the bottom). The life system includes giants (Jötnar), all Gods (Goðs), elves (Álfar), dwarfs (Dwarf) and mortals (Maðr). "The Lord of the Rings" and "The Hobbit" are all European and American fantasy movies based on Nordic mythology. Vampire themes such as "The Vampire Diaries" and "Twilight".

The story of the creation of Nordic mythology is the beginning of a chaos in the world. In the fusion of heat and ice, the giant's ancestor Ymir and Audhumbla, a cow that feeds the giant, were born. The giant lived on the bitter milk of the cow, and the cow licked the salt of the ice. Then the ice melted and the ancestor of the gods, Buri, gave birth to borr. (It’s strange how he was born by himself = = In addition, the Nordic Germans are actually of the main ethnic origins in Europe and the United States, so these myths can also be Going back to the source of many English words, for example, Borr, the father of Odin, was born "born" later, and hel was later Hell "hell", which is quite interesting), Borr and the giantess Bestla gave birth to three brothers Odin and Vili And Ve, then the kingdom of giants and the gods quarreled with each other and the war broke out, and finally ended with the victory of the gods, so the gods smashed Ymir and turned his various hair and flesh into the sky, clouds, and earth. , Ocean, mountains, trees (the more you look at it, the more it looks like Kuafu chasing the sun), the most disgusting thing is that Ymir’s body rots and grows maggots into light and dark elves (I don’t think elves are cute anymore TT), and dwarves are also mysterious. Ding created a species with other people’s blood and limbs. In the end, the gods used ash tree branches to create men and elm branches to create women, and Odin gave mortals life and soul, Willy gave reason and action, and Wei gave emotion and appearance. And language, this is the ancestor of mankind.

The three brothers of Odin also started to reproduce their offspring after they completed their creation. Odin is simply a scumbag. There is no doubt that there will be more offspring, and there is actually a mistress named Linde who also overlord to give birth to an illegitimate son Valli. (This guy is also super funny. "As soon as he was born, he grows up in the wind, and he can go into battle just after a day and night. He doesn't wash his hands or comb his hair until he catches Badr’s enemy, Hoddle, and avenges the light god Badr.", Nothing unusual is a little genius). . So I think the Norse mythology is quite grounded, that is, "Gods make mistakes"; back to our protagonist Thor is the son of Odin and the giantess Jade, and loki is the son of the lightning giant Fabuti and the tree giant Laufe, they both They are brothers, so it seems that Odin and Thor are both descendants of gods and giants. Where is the confidence to say that the blood of gods is the most sacred and pure? This is also one of the many differences between the movie and the myth story, but it is understandable to ensure the integrity of the plot and the appropriate adaptation.

In addition to the creation story, there are also eschatological stories that I won’t repeat here. "Thor 3: Ragnarok" also talks about this. When you finish reading it, you can comment on it. This is a lot of Eastern and Western mythology and religious beliefs. The difference is that Westerners believe that the world has an end, rather than being immortal and immortal. In short, the Norse mythology is really interesting. Next, I want to find some ancient books and documentaries to learn more about it.

What I want to say above is that the intersection between the myth of Thor and modern astrophysics is very interesting. Biforest is the "wormhole" of physics research, that is, the fast passage between two points in the universe after bending and folding. "Heaven on earth and hell" are planets in different time and space in the universe. The so-called gods and mortals are also races of different planets. According to the single timeline of Marvel movies, this is the first time that the myths other than the earth have been sorted out after Iron Man. The story is integrated into the Marvel universe in a harmonious and unified way. The next time the Guardians of the Galaxy will bring the planets of the galaxy, followed by the multi-universes revealed by Ant-Man, Fulian 4 and Loki American TV series.

The game of Marvel is getting bigger and bigger. Where is the boundary? I hope that there will never be borders, and I will explore forever.

    Just watched the 3D version. Really Thor, all kinds of unbelievable thunderous plots. This year, as long as the 3D box office is marked, there is no need to worry. This year is truly the year of Natalie Portman. It's a pity that Miley Cyrus' boyfriend's brother really doesn't want to be a WWC wrestler.

    The single-celled alien prince from the countryside travels to a small town in the United States. This play is really happy and full of rants. Asano Tadanobu is completely tricky, and he was even teased as Jackie Chan. Americans really can't tell the difference between Chinese and Japanese.
