There has to be a Norse Religion in the MCU

With Thor and New Asgard around, how many religions do you think lost worshippers to convert to a mythology people thought wasn't real before? Moon Knight showed that people still worship the Egyptian gods and can get sent to the Duat. And to those that say Asgardians are aliens not gods, Thor: Love and Thunder made it clear they are gods and have hanged out with other deities.

In AoS There was a hate cult from Norway that were utterly obsessed with anything and everything regarding the asgardians.

It was all fun and games until they found that Berserker sword (or was it a staff?)

medyas12026-01-19 21:50

staff

CaptainAksh_G2026-01-20 04:38

Everything that can tie up loose ends in the MCU was in AoS and they don't even acknowledge it.

Ffs, we should make a deal with them at least. We forget Secret Invasion was a thing, and they give us AoS as canon?

AttilaTheFun8182026-01-20 06:43

It’s canon to me.

But I like this deal.

AnOnlineHandle2026-01-20 06:26

Which ultimately tied in really well with the twist of Thor Ragnarok where the Asgardians used to be brutal invaders, with that guy who walked away from his rage-inducing weapon being much older than the younger Asgardians who didn't know about that.

AoS?

Thrash_Panda442026-01-21 10:52

AoS = Agents of Shield

Its a tv series that runs parallel to the main movies and tv shows whilst not being explicitly canon or non-canon from what i gather.

richard-5642026-01-23 17:03

Yeah, ik seems to be all canon the first 4 seasons, they they're just in a branched timeline the last few seasons. Can totally be canon.

FX1142026-01-19 20:47

There is

dbkenny4262026-01-19 20:48

I don't remember which movie (I think one of the Spider-Man ones, but I could be wrong) had a shot of the main character walking down a road, and one of the buildings had a sign for a church for Norse Paganism. Or something along those lines. Whatever it was in, it's obviously been a while since I've seen it, as I can't remember a lot of the details, but I know it exists.

alkonium2026-01-19 20:50

I think there was a sign for a Korean Church of Asgard.

dbkenny4262026-01-19 20:51

That was it! Thanks!

djkhan232026-01-19 21:40

Hey hey! Stop fucking around with Korean Odin, he ain't got time for your problems, he busy, with Korean shit!

I'm pretty sure it was founded by Helen Cho. Or she's at least a high ranking member.

CaptHayfever2026-01-20 09:48

Yeah, that's in Homecoming.

DeliciousArmadillo122026-01-19 20:49

There is one. In Agents of SHIELD

Super-Visor2026-01-19 20:56

In the original 2099 run from the 1990s, the church of Thor is the major religion of the future.

mr_oberts2026-01-19 21:04

They did a story about it in the main 616 Thor run too.

LewisRyan2026-01-19 21:33

There was a group of people ready to worship galactus, I see no reason Thor doesn’t have followers.

fanacapoopan2026-01-19 22:02

There is a lot of Catholism in Dare Devil

Rich-Ganache-26682026-01-19 22:55

Which is stupid given the absence of representation in everything cosmic happening every few years or so.

Well i guess its more about the teachings huh. Yeah.

iwannalynch2026-01-20 01:37

I mean, evolution and geology has more or less debunked the creation aspects of Christianity and it's not dead yet...

Rich-Ganache-26682026-01-20 07:15

I dont wanna argue for Christianity. In the MCU tho, the events are cosmic and happening in real time. Not some discovery or formation of a theory which im sure Christians can reason out of anyway.

I wonder how they argue for the existence of the Christian god in the MCU. Im sure the alien and multiversal stuff are points for anti-christian, maybe anti-theists too. Heck they have mystic things related to Hell, and Samson(?) is that the closest thing to anything Christian?

CaptHayfever2026-01-20 09:49

Multiple religions' gods are shown to exist in the MCU; why presume the Abrahamic God *doesn't*?

Rich-Ganache-26682026-01-20 18:25

Man i dont even understand what it means to be a god in the marvel universe. Love and thunder sucks.

Also, hmm. Good thought. If i was there and was christian, i’d probably think hey i saw Thor, where is MY god? Is my god still doing his mysterious ways? Where do these all powerful beings fit in his plan?

juances192026-01-19 22:08

The thing is Asgardians are at most "protector gods" that kept Midgar safe but they aren't the "creator(s)" that gave life to the planet or formed the universe.

So while I can see people looking up to them and respecting them, I don't think it'll fully replace our current religions. People will still believe in a "greater god" that's even above the asgardians.

SpideyFan9142026-01-20 02:38

So you're saying there's only one god, and you're pretty sure he doesn't dress like that?

erilicfartman2026-01-20 13:13

In marvel its the on above all but he doesn't have a specific form he's appeared as an old homeless man and a mid 20s guy that looks suspiciously like Peter Parker

The_River_Is_Still2026-01-20 13:41

I wanna see Thor and Jesus partying together and charging into battle. Jesus is one the only people who can play catch with Thor and Mewmew. Also, Thor always gets annoyed because half the time he can’t find MeeMew because Jesus is off building shit with it.

railroad92026-01-19 23:29

Given that Marvel is fundamentally our world with superhero shir, there are Norse Heathens, both Volkish(the white supremacists) and inclusive (Like me! not WS and the majority of the religion). It's also not gonna look anything like the Marvel Asgardians. The gods and their relationships have very little resemblance to RL Norse mythology, especially the MCU.

Wonderful-Ad-43022026-01-20 02:47

If you think too hard the mcu is full of inconsistencies and Plotholes ^_^

GreyThumper2026-01-20 04:19

Makes sense that it would be the most popular religion since it wouldn’t require faith (ie, there’s proof that the deity/ies exist).

Hedgewitch2502026-01-20 09:38

Many religions are real we just don’t see them. Doctor voodoo is probably out there somewhere worshiping it’s just not shown since magic and supernatural hasn’t really been explored (doctor strange barely mentions the vishanti or any higher beings).

Lots of people probably did switch to Norse mythology after Thor came but many could hah scoot to him being an alien that inspired the myths which the movies tried to say before ragnarok got more frank and said their gods period (the first movies even said their magic is just advanced tech for some reason).

CaptHayfever2026-01-20 09:52

I personally know a guy offline who worships Thor (not the Marvel version, but the old Norse version). Of course there's people in the MCU who do that as well.

LittleBingo962026-01-20 10:10

Five years of the public seeing fat, drunk Thor probably nipped that religious crusade in the bud.

Sirmalta2026-01-20 21:22

Religion is about belief.

Norse gods are proven real things. No belief required.

Also, showing thats "gods" hang out with other "gods" doesnt prove they arent aliens. Them existing in the state they exist in proves they arent gods.

They arent omnipotent, they're just powerful entities living across the cosmos. By definition - aliens.

So while sure theres probably people praying to Thor now, it wouldnt be a wide spread phenomenon because they can pray all they want and then turn around and watch thor drink a beer at a local pub having no idea who they are.

So its more a fandom than a religion.

horrorpiglet2026-01-21 01:20

Are you all forgetting in Spiderman Homecoming, there was a storefront for the Korean Church Of Asgard in the background in NYC?
