How Marvel’s Tyr Lost His Hand 

I’m glad you liked it, Fernando. I agree an Asgard comic would have been great. Maybe they could bring back the Tales of Asgard section, but make sure it’s focused on the other gods? Probably not going to happen any time soon though.

@ThorTalk probably not bro. 🤷‍♂️ they literally made up two new valkyries like they don't have an entire recurring cast they could be working with. Ah well.

​@@FernandoComicsOfficial Its silly asf honestly. The warriors three, all the other god folk have so much potential

Agreed, Kieron Gillen was really the first writer to try to do something with Tyr and then Fraction killed him off for no reason.

Jason Aaron sadly destroyed ODIN as a Marvel character & Donnie Cates finished him off. The AllFather ODIN should be at his Silver Age power levels.

Marvel certainly makes many changes to the source material, but I don’t think there’s anything in the original myth to suggest that Tyr felt bad about binding Fenrir. The Prose Edda does say that Tyr was the only god not laughing at Fenrir being bound, but this is because he lost a hand rather than some pity for the wolf: “Then all laughed except Týr: he lost his hand”. This is reinforced by the fact that in Lokesanna, when Loki mocks Tyr for losing his hand to Fenrir, Tyr counters by saying that while Tyr lost a hand, Loki lost a son so they both suffered loss. Tyr does not count the wolf’s binding as his own loss, but as Loki’s and instead counts his hand as his loss. He was the one who fed Fenrir, but the reason for it is because he was the only one brave enough to do so. This seems to be emphasizing his courage rather than a tragic friendship. Modern retellings have been more sympathetic towards Fenrir and his siblings, but I don’t think Vikings were wringing their hands over the mistreatment of monsters said to bring about the end of the world. Again, there’s a mountain of differences between Myth and Marvel, but I don’t think Fenrir was meant to be a sympathetic character. Also glad to be back with another video

Odin’s cool and all, but I’ve always been partial to Hárbarðr. Grímnir is also up there for me and that other guy Hávi

​@Thor Talk wasn't Grimnir another name for ODIN? I've just always admired ODIN quest & sacrifice for knowledge. You have a great channel & have helped me become a fan of Thor.

@@benparrish672 Yes, Hárbarðr (Graybeard), Grímnir (Hooded One), and Hávi (High One) are all names that Odin uses. He loves wandering around in a wide brimmed hat and cloak whilst using various names. A little mythology joke ;) Also I’m glad that you like my channel and the god Thor as well as Odin

​@@ThorTalk You explained it well

He’s been called his father a couple times and Loki even referred to Fenris’ offspring as his own grandchildren, but Marvel hasn’t gone into it too much. Everyone just goes with it so he’s Fenris’ biological father until Marvel decides to say otherwise
