When you're literally immortal gods, you probably don't need a large army.


Well yeah but don’t they depict them as having a large army in various flashbacks to campaigns etc. A total population of 10,000 seems far too low for how Asgard is depicted.


Thor and Loki evacuated half of Asgard and they fit on space ship. It was always more like a city population than a planet population.

What battle with a big powerful army are you thinking of?


Just the impression I've always had from flashbacks and storytelling of battles etc.

Was it half they evacuated? On ep2 of Loki they implied most were killed in Ragnarok.

Another highly watchable episode, I think this might turn out to be my favourite of the three new series despite being the least excited for it.

A load were rescued and then half of those were killed by Thanos.

Slightly unrelated question.

There were lots of worlds halved in population by Thanos before the snap. Did they get halved again when he snapped his fingers?

Seems unfair. Especially on Asgard where Hela killed so many, then the Ragnarok monster killed a huge number and destroyed their planet, then Thanos killed half of the survivors...

Potentially. It was half of everyone in the Universe, not half of each planet. Statistically a handful of planets wouldn't have anyone disappear and some would have all.

They think Denmark and Scotland look the same? Then again wasn’t 40s New York filmed in Chester or somewhere like that?

It was very obviously filmed in Scotland to the point that there’s a bottle of Irn Bru on the window ledge of the roo. Thor and Korg are playing Fortnite in.

New Asgard is moving to a purpose built set in Australia for Love and Thunder, so at least Scotland was kind of close to where it's meant to be.
