I just realised, Marvel have really read into Greek Mythology. I mean, they’ve made sure that they’ve got the details right. Because at the start of Thor it does this camera shot thing where it’s on Earth and then it goes underwater and it looks like it goes back up to Earth but- it’s Asgard. Actually, thinking about it, they didn’t really have to read into it. But still, I credit them.

I think you mean Norse Mythology. Thor is in the Norse pantheon. But you are right in the sense that they kept the Norse cosmology fairly accurate. In Norse myth, Asgard is connected to other worlds through a rainbow bridge. See this blog post for a cool picture of it: http://worldofmythology.tumblr.com/post/14487759195/cosmology-of-norse-myths

I absolutely hate it when people are talking about Greek or Roman mythology and they mix up the names. Like when they say Venus and Ares or Jupiter and Hera.

No. It’s Aphrodite and Hermes and Zeus and Hera.

C’mon people.

I think you mean “Aphrodite & Ares” (Hermes’s Roman name is Mercury/Ares’s Roman name is Mars)

This looks just like the Library in Beauty and the Beast.
