Guys, I get the impression that Hercules may be slightly dumb:



(Thor #128)

"Hey, this contract says I owe you my immortal soul."

"Yeah, the lawyers make us put that in."

"Oh. Okay then." *signs*

If you read Norse and Greek mythology, you'll find both Thor and Hercules share a similar mindset, both are incredibly gullible and stupid. And usually constantly angry.

Yeah, Marvel Thor is a lot more of a King Arthur noble knight type than Original Thor.

Reminds me of a joke about the three of them.

Thor, Loki and Odin were out fishing in a boat, in the middle of a lake. They spent a while fishing, and quickly ran out of beer.

"I'll go get some more." Said Loki, who stepped over the side of the boat, and walked across the surface of the lake back to shore, and came back the same way with more beer.

They drank and fished some more, and next time the beer ran out Odin declared "I'll go get some more."

He stepped over the side of the boat, and walked across the surface of the water to shore, and back the same way with more beer.

The third time they ran out, Thor said "I'll go get some more."

He stepped over the side of the boat, and with a massive splash fell into the water.

Loki laughed and said "The stepping stones are on the other sode of the boat."
Odin said "There were stepping stones?"

There’s an actual Norse myth where Mjolnir is stolen by Thrymr who wants Freyja as his bride in return.

Loki and Thor jump into action by having Thor dress up as the Freyja with a veil, thanks to him having the same long blonde hair. There’s even a moment where Thor nearly blows his cover by scarfing down half the buffet table, and Loki covers for him by saying “Yeah she didn’t eat anything this week...because she’s excited.” The bad guy puts Thor in his lap and gives “her” the hammer, at which point Thor reveals his real identity and beats the poo poo out of everyone.

We really need this adaptation.

There's a comic called Valhalla that does all the stories including this. It's Danish, I think.

Edit: I read a fan translation of that very storyline and it was pretty fantastic. They also have a random Warriors Three parody (but it's really just other characters in disguise).

I have one issue somewhere in the attic. It deals with Odin trying to find replacements for the Warriors Three after they rebel.
He finds a guy that looks a lot like Conan, but he is too headstrong for Odin's taste.
I think there was a noble paladin as well, he would rather marry a princess than go to Valhalla and drink mead all day.

It would probably make a great movie.

They did make a movie. Haven't seen it though, and not sure which storylines it has in it.

Minor correction. Thor didn't "beat the poo poo out of everyone". He literally murdered everyone in the village as soon as he got Mjolnir back.

Depending on the story, dressing up as ladies is either Loki's idea, or one of the other Aesir and Loki decides to join in because the dressing as a girl and tormenting Thor is killing two birds with one stone for him!

The original Ţrymskviđa is really funny as well:
Loki spake:
I0. "Trouble I have, | and tidings as well:
Thrym, king of the giants, | keeps thy hammer,
And back again | shall no man bring it
If Freyja he wins not | to be his wife."

11. Freyja the fair | then went they to find
Hear now the speech | that first he spake:
"Bind on, Freyja, | the bridal veil,
For we two must haste | to the giants' home."

12. Wrathful was Freyja, | and fiercely she snorted,
And the dwelling great | of the gods was shaken,
And burst was the mighty | Brisings' necklace:
"Most lustful indeed | should I look to all
If I journeyed with thee | to the giants' home."

13. Then were the gods | together met,
And the goddesses came | and council held,
And the far-famed ones | a plan would find,
How they might Hlorrithi's | hammer win.

14. Then Heimdall spake, | whitest of the gods,
Like the Wanes he knew | the future well:
"Bind we on Thor | the bridal veil,
Let him bear the mighty | Brisings' necklace;

15. "Keys around him | let there rattle,
And down to his knees | hang woman's dress;
With gems full broad | upon his breast,
And a pretty cap | to crown his head."

16. Then Thor the mighty | his answer made:
"Me would the gods | unmanly call
If I let bind | the bridal veil."

17. Then Loki spake, | the son of Laufey:
"Be silent, Thor, | and speak not thus;

Freyja suffers no fool.

Well, whoever did the art did something weird since that is pretty clearly intended to be a t-rex (raptors are generally depicted as leaner and have three fingers), but they gave it a raptor toe for some reason. In any case, Old Lace typically has a ring through her nose. Though Devil Dinosaur is typically red. Gonna go with the Marvel employee knowing what he's talking about, at least. :shrug:
