Shout Out is not Trivia, so it was moved to the main page.


* ShoutOut: Thor villain Malekith the Accursed shares the same name (minus the ''"the Accursed"'' epiphet) as a character from [[{{TabletopGame/Warhammer}} the tabletop game "Warhammer Fantasy"]], who is also a villainous Dark Elf king (before the latter setting got a ContinuityReboot in "Age of Sigmar" and he was renamed Malerion).

Simonson created Marvel Malekith in 84' while Warhammer Malekith didn't show up until roughly a decade later.

* FanNickname: Loki's reincarnated self is Kid Loki, or less often Little Loki. Loki as a woman is Lady Loki (with the official Marvel description of that period on their site being [[DudeLooksLikeALady Loki looks like a Lady]].
** Unfortunately, and crudely, some circles of fans have also taken to nicknaming the [[AffirmativeActionLegacy New]] Thor 'Whor'.
** With the big reveal that Fem!Thor is [[spoiler: Jane Foster]] she has gained the more generous nicknames of [[spoiler: Jane Fos-Thor and The Mighty Jane ]].
** Beta Ray Bill has been dubbed both 'Beta Ray Bro' and 'Thorse.'

* ExecutiveMeddling: A preemptive attempt to avert it resulted in [[spoiler: Kid Loki being erased from existence and his rebirth as a young DracoInLeatherPants, as the author wanted to avoid blatantly out of character scenarios such as ''Kid Loki gone evil'' or ''Loki vs Kid Loki'']].


Added DiffLines:

* TorchTheFranchiseAndRun: Kieron Gillen, the creator of Loki's young self's very well-regarded run on ''Journey into Mystery'' gave this as the reason why, and here come the spoilers so avoid highlighting or clicking any following links to avoid being sullied, [[spoiler: Loki's younger self had to not only die, but be absolutely removed from existence. [[http://gillen.cream.org/wordpress_html/4848/one-for-sorrow-why-did-kieron-do-it/ He was well aware letting him survive, or even "simply" die, would have provided someone with the opportunity in the future to do an ill-conceived "let's have him turn evil and completely undercut the importance of his earlier stories" plot]]. Even this, he admits, will not necessarily keep later writers from finding some way to bring Loki's younger self back into existence. He kindly advises, though, that they not do this, as even if they care about the character, it will only allow even later writers the same vicious opportunity.]]

* ReferencedBy: The ProfessionalWrestling promotion Wrestling/{{CHIKARA}} had The Estonian [=ThunderFrog=], who was basically Thor as a frog. From Estonia. He carried around a big hammer (alternately the Hammer of War or the Hammer of Peace), and only he who was worthy could wield it, with the only ones qualifying for it being the Frog himself and Icarus.

* WhatCouldHaveBeen: Jack Kirby originally envisioned his ComicBook/NewGods as part of Thor's mythos, but jumped ship to DC before these plans materialized. Darkseid could have been a Thor villain.
** Well, not quite. Kirby wanted to KillEmAll in Ragnarok, then start over with the ''New'' Gods as a new Marvel title. (Nobody having done anything quite that ambitious in American comics yet.)

Many of the New Gods have counterparts to the Asgardians, making it easy to tell who was supposed to be the successor of who.

* UrbanLegendOfZelda: Fans vividly remember an issue where Thor is badly injured after a battle and a random paramedic hands him Mjölnir, being deemed one of the few people [[TheRealHeroes worthy enough]] to wield it. However, no one's been able to track down the specific issue where this happens. It's believed that fans were misinterpreting a scene from ''Thor #35'' where [[https://imgur.com/a/cA2YS the Enchantress helps Thor lift Mjölnir while he's unconscious]].
