Does a horse's pregnancy last 9 months?

@@jimmydelacruz no idea but you get the joke.

Im weak 😹😹😹😹

I read a horse pregnancy lasts from 11-12 months

Everything makes sense now!

WILL BUILD A WALL! and the frost giants are gonna pay for it.

Just as Loki begins the start of Ragnarok, Trump begins the fall of America

Boris Chan Trump isn't doing a bad job as President.

The Vote Loki comics seem pretty accurate then

Genius

Is that why he's so close to Peter Parker, now? Ufufuffuf

😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣

Dose whatever Spider-Hors does

@Random Nerd Of Doom kratos would rape hulk and then call him sexslave.

@@vn9574 what

@@vn9574 Hulk would rip Kratos' penis and call him a woman.

Loki: i have an army Stark: we have a Hulk Loki: i have my father, Kratos C. Sparrow: i gotta jar of dirt!

Stark: okay. You win. We're out

Only if Tom Hiddleston reprises his role.

Loki wasn't really one for shenanigans. He was a malicious and cruel trickster whose machinations led to death and suffering

Loki, God of Bamboozling.

There totally is.

I'd watch the hel outta that...... Get it?...... I'll go now

Loki is lowkey

Himanshu Wilhelm wait what?

The mistletoe could rather be a symbol for the spontaneous eruption of chaos, then new order. Instead of slowly growing from the ground it exploits a weakness in the established canopy and grows new greenery. Excessive order brings about its own ruination, and chaos brings about new order. Loki is a jester, an archetype of transformation. Also, isn't there an appreciable similarity between Frøya and her son Balder, and the greek goddess Thetis and her son Achilles?

@@inonoma2288 Yes, I thought that as well.

fuck you I typed the same exact fucking thing

If you study the tale in depth, Loki ran for his life all night and escaped the first few times. But the horse caught him the last time...Loki had to choose between assault from a horse or shape shifting back and being stomped to death.

@@TheeMusicalARM Where did you read this? I've did a fair share of digging, and never even had that much depth in the myth when I read this.

This isn't even the fucking craziest thing he did.

@Amon Ra it is a myth not a part of the history, go learn english, kid.

Sithbuster5 BOII

you mean the MCU loki?

Don't you mean mother of monsters?

Nope, in Norse mythology Loki's wife, giantess Angrboda was a Mother of Monsters.(Just like Echidna also known as the "mother of all monsters", from Greek myths)

The God that let a horse put its dick in him

But who would emerge victorious in a battle of the tricksters? Loki, Discord or Bill Cypher? I say each of them is more dangerous than the other

The BOI of the Gost of Sparta

And that is the main reason why Thor visited Kratos because he wanted to tell him that his son will die at the hands of Thanos

Lmfao

Boooiii

No no no, he's not BOOOI, he's *boi*

Lol

Every god has done that

he isn't any more evil than any of the other gods, he is just more cunning in nature and doesn't try to hide it

@@loki362 Source?

If there is one thing that always horrified me is how Loki was punished for merely pointing out the gods' faults...earlier Norse legends never mentioned him as having anything to do with Baldr's death.

I follow Loki specifically not Lucifer But even good ol Lucifer was kicked out of heaven for just refusing to worship something he saw as below him

Looking back I think Lucifer is Loki to the Christian timeline, they’re just so similar, even saying Loki is king of hell

Interesting take. I like it

No... Loki was a Hentai MC

no, at first loki as a a mare was like 'bet you cant run as fast as i can', and the other horse who saw lokis mare form though he looked really cute so he ran after. after they both ran for who knows how long far away from asgard they stopped and talked and then did it.

Sérgio Vieira Ayyyyyyyyyy. 😂

Muh man

Hands down the best game ever made.

SPOILER!!!!!

Bruce Liao Kratos: Boy. It is not a spoiler

The ship was for Freyr not balder

@@SierNotsruht still applies

He is 1/4th Mortal

tushant tikoo thanks, I corrected it

Kratos was born a Demi-God he’s always been a God it was only when he killed ares he became a full fledged God

Krato's father was zeus so he was already demi god also your math is off: Mom: 100% giant Father: 50% mortal, 50% god Loki: is 25% mortal= 1/4

@@attilahajdu9562 in real mythology loki was still half giant, half mortal I believe

Mcchuggernaut that was a punishment, not something he did voluntarily.

No, I think you are mixed up with another legend. This comes directly from "The Marriage of Njord and Skadi". While I was incorrect about specifically amusing the gods, it was in fact the gods who were all tasked with making the giantess Skadi laugh. They all failed, and then Loki tied his nuts to a goat with a rope, and played tug-of-war with it, which finally succeeded.

Mcchuggernaut in the version I read (there are several after all) that happened because Skadi demanded him to be punished for his involvement in her fathers death and Odin thought that that particular punishment would be funny.

Then I guess we would have to find the oldest known accounting of the story, which would probably be closest to the original, and I admit I am unsure of. Either way, he did do it, which is hilarious.

Mcchuggernaut yes it is

ME TOO

in GOW 5, Boi smashes horse

JYUBEI there probably won’t be, kratos is gonna die

@@Slightlyunder probably injured

Slightlyunder9000 so it's GOT 1? God of trickery 1?

kevin carballo D A D of B O I

It was christians who needed to divide the legends into black and white, and possibly turning Ragnarok from a possible tale of circular rebirth into a tale about an apocalypse and the possible rise of a single God (baldur resurrecting during/after Ragnarok and being a god of light).

@RavnDream Not all of it, but the idea of Ragnarok as a final end is more Christian propaganda iirc

If anything, Christian monotheism was derived from the events of Ragnarok. After everyone's dead, Baldr, God of love, happiness, sunshine, and rainbows, is resurrected to become the one God of a new world, inhabited by 2 people.

@@wiseferret4745 bold claim but not an historical one. Christianity had been around for centuries before the norse myths were written down. More likely, Baldurs resurrection at Ragnarok was the result of Christian monks trying to rewrite Norse myth.

@@jacobhatcher5409 No my friend. Norse mythology had been around for centuries before Christians recorded their myths. The stories of the Aesir and Vanir, the Jotunns, and the Voluspa are pre-christian, but do not outdate Vedic or Abrahamic religion. After all, Hinduism is over 4000 years old, and Judaism is over 3000 years old, and they are the 2 oldest beliefs in the world. There are several historical documents as old as 551AD that prove that the Norse recorded their mythology in runes around 400AD, before Christianity came to Norway or Iceland. But not necessarily before Judaism. I've also read that Norse beliefs come from Germanic beliefs, as recorded by Tacitus around 90AD, who was also the first non-Christian historian to confirm that the execution of Jesus Christ did happen and is historically significant to Rome. Since we found the shroud of Turin we know he was right. I love the depth and interconnectedness of religious mythologies. I would love to hear more about what you think on the matter. 🇮🇸

He became a bitch when he was threatened with death each time he fucked up and had to fix his or other people's messes.

@@xenodude4718 don't forget Loki enjoyed playing both sides of the coin, being the cunning, trickster he was. it wasn't that he was afraid of death and that's why he would fix the problem. he would fix the problem because he knew he could stir up the pot even further on the other end.

@@shaylamariah It was both really.

@@xenodude4718 maybe if you look at the stories on their own, then yes i can see that

Michael Grant yes

Yes that game is inspired me to Greek and Norse mythology≧∇≦

michael browne except, God of war was very true to actual Norse mythology

Yeah, but I had read/studied Norse mythology beforehand which made the game even better to play tbh. No matter if it stayed true to the source material or not.

michael browne It’s ancient human mythology, it’s incredibly exciting.

god of war: not real Norse Mythology

God of war is not real Norse mythology

Yeah boi

@@jack-attack9536 You are brilliant sherlock.

@@demserdvl2879 thanks I know I’m basically a genius

"low key" "loki" totally didn't see that coming XD

Why did she curse him

Odin kills Gulweigh in Asgard, because she was bringing terror to Asgard. After her death, Gulweigh's body quickly decayed but her heart remained beating. Nobody dared touch the heart since it was a source of great evil. Loki made the self-sacrifice to remove the heart, but he was tempted to absorb it's power, and he ate the heart. Thus turning him evil.

He ate...a heart?! Dude, that is the grossest thing ever

i think its cuz his father kratos hate the Gods lol

kyron greenidge BOI we aren't talking about GoW we're talking about real mythology

Tsukisenpai He got that H O R S E M E A T

Leo got fucked by a bear.

Hentai Senpai 😂

I think by Hulk as well

I have a book of mythology so i read it and actually it was a loki who smashed horse

No, he isn't...it's funny, but I remember a famous horror author who was firmly convinced the US version of the Trickster, Coyote, had cursed him after he wrote a book where he was the main bad guy. If this was true...I suspect he wasn't happy to be referred to as a demon. Demons are from Catholicism... not from pagan religions.

He killed balder for no other reason than he thought it would be funny, he cut off all of sifs hair again for fun, he didn't care for any of his children, he was also an egotistical psychopath asshole who would play cruel "tricks" on people for fun and he doesn't care about anything other than himself, yeah this guy doesn't seem very evil to me

Maybe it means something.

Look up video called “Jim Carrey entire career codes Sirius...”... it’s rather mind blowing about Sirius the Dogstar... references Loki. You might look up “the Dagon tribe & the Sirius mystery” as well.

SCP-4357-J HoLd Up. WhAt!

He killed Baldur for the purpose of ruinning things for everyone else tho

I saw in another video that the reason he killed Baldr was because he got mad at all the gods or mainly Odin for trying to prevent his son's death/change the future while they/he just threw Loki's children away because it was said that they would bring on Ragnarok. I'm not 100% sure if it's true or not, but if it is I can understand his actions.

@@the_headless_horseman9682 But, they threw his children away because, he made Hodr killed Baldr. So, basically it was his fault too.

@@rosalinacv1996 actually odin trapped his sons waaaaaay before baldur was killed

He is

He is!!!✨

He is

Boii why is there a three legged horse crawling on the ground

you havent read the rest, its not just that B)

According to other Germanic sources baldur was actually a massive asshole so he had it coming

Are you five?

sadlobster1 tzeentch just as keiku

What about Alistor (From Hazbin Hotel?)

@@lightheart5 Al doesn't really seem like a trickster, he's more of an overlord

Hmm boii

His children include the following. Odin's horse, Slephnir; the Midgard Serpent (Jormungander,) Hela/Hel (Goddess of the Dead) and Fenrir

He had another daughter. She was normal. She lived in Asgard.

@@izzieandavadanuggets9325 I haven't read anything about another daughter. There were 2 more sons but apparently the only thing of mot about them is the one's death lmao

@@sadlobster1 Makes since why in GOW4 the Serpent said he looks familiar...

Greek mythology is so commonly know at this point

And Norse Mythology isn't?

Christopher Highseat sure sure...

Sorry..greek god is all death by now..my man kratos slaughtered thrm

You must admit the devs did an incredible job at staying true to the original myths

*fanBOI

He murdered a god out of jealousy.

What? Misunderstood? Lmao!!

@@isaacman112 he killed him because odin imprisoned his sons because they would bring ragnorak or some sht which was inevitable anyway but went out of his way to save his own Also only started plotting after some witch cursed him

Like his Persona user, Goro Akechi

@@rosalinacv1996 how is that funny? they are misunderstood and unfairly an poorly treated. They bound him to a fucking rock with the body of his own son while snake drips venom onto them causing them to be in complete agony which agony is a complete understatement however at the moment I cannot think of a word to describe such anguish, plus mental anguish. Think of poor sigyn too. Odin was the fucking asshole who locked Fenrir up bcuz he knew Fenrir was going to fucking be his undoing and was so scared of his massive size that they decide to chain the poor babe up. Loki is the reason the gods have all their stuff. The reason they got out of a lot of issues. The reason they have a wall around Asgard. Odin goes out of his way to hurt lokis children because they are involved in ragnarok and the end of the gods or whatever and locks them away, yet calls Loki his fucking “ blood brother” yet fucking betrays them. So yes Loki is fucking misunderstood.I’m sick of seei this bullshit satanic type filter on Loki who is actually a very loving, inclusive caring and fiercely protective deity,god, parent and friend to those who seek to truly know Loki. Fuck all of you who hate on this deity. Who choose to view him as only truly evil. If y view them like that then that’s what they’ll be to you, but they are misunderstood and hurt and tortured yet loving chaotic loyal,caring,charming,perfect even with “ flaws” , protective, fun, truthful, supportive . A bringer of change.

American Gods is pretty close...

They should base it on Neil Gaiman's book "Norse Mythology" , same author of the hit TV adaptation "American Gods". It's the myth stories but in a novel form all the way to Ragnarok.

Yeah, they gave him a fate worse than death basically because he was rude.

@@MySerpentine They also murdered his sons

I see it more of as a last straw, he had already killed balder, and done many more terrible things, but killing a servant for no reason, along with insulting them, probably just proved lokis disloyalty to them

Blazin Flame he fucked it

You didn't already know this? Loki got around.

Not just any horse, the best horse. But yes, he is the father of Sleipnir.

*mother of Sleipnir

F-ed A Horse Was Impregnated And Then Gave Birth To Sleipnir, The Eight-Legged Horse

What?

Shadow Librarian i though ppl hate Him and sisbsleneownwkanaakmddkbeekba k? S s ala.

It's a mistake to apply Christian duality good vs evil to other religions and mythologies.

Ranger tied him up in a cave after he killed Æthalstan during which time his daughter died . so must of taken that story and twiddled it for the Vikings
