Dramatic License

I'm just curious, does anyone know why a link to dramatic license is included in the "See Also" section? I'm not sure it's necessary, but perhaps someone can explain it to me. Thanks. Waterloosunset27 (talk) 09:08, 11 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I didn't notice that was there, and would also like to know why it is included. I can't think of a particular thing that it could be referring to. - adamstom97 (talk) 09:15, 11 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Maybe because in the actual myth of Ragnarok, Thor dies? Obviously that needed to be changed, and many other things were as well. Edit: Maybe you guys aren't serious? I see that it's been removed. I don't care one way or the other, but perhaps a "Trivia" or "Differences from Myth" section could explain the "dramatic license" that the movie takes.

"Valkyrior"?

"Valkyrior" may be the Norse plural, but surely the movie and the comics both use the plural "Valkyries"? Shouldn't that be the form used in the article? —VeryRarelyStable 01:20, 5 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

It’s the name of the group, follow the link.—-TriiipleThreat (talk) 01:25, 5 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

My mistake. Still not used in the movie, though. Wouldn't it make more sense to say

Thor recognizes 142 as a Valkyrie, one of a legendary force of female warriors...

...Loki forces her to relive the deaths of her Valkyrie companions at the hands of Hela...

A tough, hard-drinking Asgardian slave trader ... who was once a legendary Valkyrie warrior...

As well as avoiding an unfamiliar technical word that isn't in the movie, it's not clear to me that "Valkyrior" can be used as a plural if it's a group name – i.e. shouldn't it be "her fellow Valkyrior members" rather than "her fellow Valkyrior"?

—VeryRarelyStable 02:05, 5 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Would anyone object to me making the above changes – while retaining links to Valkyrior? —VeryRarelyStable 05:14, 15 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

"Valkyrior" is the plural of "Valkyrie", but I would not object to your changes for simplicity's sake. - adamstom97 (talk) 21:45, 15 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Surtur

Several editors have recently been changing the description of Surtur from demon to giant despite the fact that we have a reliable source that describes him as a "fiery demon". Regardless of how the character is presented in the comics or in mythology, we need to remember that this film is its own adaptation and thus needs explicit verification. Changing it based solely on the former interpretation is WP:OR. Remember, WP:Verifiability, not truth.--TriiipleThreat (talk) 21:34, 26 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@188.119.39.70:, remember that this is a movie with it's own internal logic. In the movie Surtur is a demon, Loki is Odin's adopted son and Hela is Odin's daughter...not a fire giant, Odin's blood brother or Loki's daughter. DonQuixote (talk) 21:45, 26 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The source says fiery demon who resides in Hel which is wrong, he is from Muspelheim. That means the source is unreliable. I am not trying to be destructive. I know movie logic but you can't trust this source.

There are other sources with higher reliability that also call him a demon: /Film for example. El Millo (talk) 00:02, 27 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Again, internal logic of the movie. In the movie he's from Hel--just like in the movie Hela is Loki's sister. DonQuixote (talk) 00:06, 27 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Superhero comedy film

Can we edit the headline as superhero comedy film instead of just superhero film since the film's primary genre is comedy. Ashokkumar047 (talk) 16:58, 16 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

No, the film's primary genre is superhero and that is the only genre we include per MOS:FILMGENRE. - adamstom97 (talk) 21:48, 16 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

End of the movie

What was the big space ship that appears in front of Thor and Loki when they look out of the window of their own space ship? It’s the end of the movie and there is no explanation after it, or did I miss this? In the next (latest) Thor movie there is also no connection or explanation for this big space ship. Thanks.

From the article According to producer Kevin Feige, the spaceship seen in the mid-credits scene is the Sanctuary II, which belongs to Thanos. DonQuixote (talk) 17:17, 1 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

That storyline continues to the opening of Avengers: Infinity War. Spanneraol (talk) 17:53, 1 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
