So...if I understood well in this universe, the nine realms are just 9 random planets Asgard controls?
Then why Odin/Asgardians are in such a high horse? Doesn't that make them just the lords of a minuscule part of the galaxy? And their entire population fits on a single spaceship so...
Why they think they are a big thing? I mean, I understand if they would knew anything about the rest of the galaxy, if they thought the entire universe were only those 9 planets would make sense for them to feel "big", but they are aware of how the universe works, they know is not only their little 9 planets and still act as if they were big shit.

They're parallel dimensions. Midgard encompasses Earth and all the alien worlds like Xandar, Hala and whatever. Asgard is both a dimension and its capital planet.
Lucas Ramirez
>Midgard encompasses Earth and all the alien worlds like Xandar, No it doesnt.
Midgard IS Earth and nothing else. OP is right. it's just planets. Thor and his crew literally go to Asgard on a ship, and leave Asgard on a ship to go to Earth.
The Bifrost is just a teleporter.

How much life is there in the marvel universe? Nine planets may actually be a lot, and spaced tremendous distances apart so perhaps they include all the barren worlds between and just don't list them.
Austin Carter
Honestly, the writers have never had a good idea of what to do with Thor. I wouldn't be surprised if it was shortsightedness that caused Thor to be just an alien with superadvanced technology.
Joseph James
Odin used to use Hela to conquer other planets and then he just gave up
The 9 Realms seem to be 9 planets specifically connected to Yggdrasil through the Bifrost
Carson Long
Although let sbe honest here. The movies have never been very clear about how Asgard or any other planet work in thor. It's implied by the third movie that they've been colonized, which means whatever uprising was going on between 1 and 2 was probably people rightfully asking for independence.
Asgard itself is more of a prop. Like a cardboard cutout.
Noah Jackson
>Honestly, the writers Comic or movies?
Joseph Baker
A bit of both
The GOTG were able to fly Angela to Heven
Thomas Smith
The 9 realms are worlds of some cosmic significance. The explanation isn't clear beyond that. All we're supposed to know is that these handful of worlds are important beyond being just planets.
Landon Wilson
>Why they think they are a big thing? How many planets do you control, OP?

:(
David Baker
and they did a shitty job explaining it. the way it stands, none of those worlds are of real importance, especially jotunheim
Wyatt Martin
This. If you were to ask even Thor movie fans what those worlds are, they'd be at a loss.
I keep saying it : all this plot of bringing order in the nine realms betweeen 1 and 2 was interesting. That's what we should have seen..
Jordan Collins
They call them the 9 realms, they pretend to govern them, but don't let that fool you. Asgardians only go there as tourists or on a hunting trip during the weekend and holidays.
Aaron Ross
From what I understand, a "realm" is merely a planet that's connected by a series of wormholes that is referred to as The World Tree. The 9 are simply first stops to what I assume is the rest of a sector of space.
Basically Asgardians are stuck up assholes because they live significantly longer than most species and have exclusive travel between those realms. I doubt even the Nova Corp or The Kree listen to them
Camden Young
The movie(s) make almost no attempt at educating the viewer. The nine realms are separate dimensions and the asgardians have assigned a planet within each as the "capital", the hub of important events. You cannot get in a ship and fly to any of these planets from another. 'Midgard" is earth and the dimension it is in.
Sebastian White
>You cannot get in a ship and fly to any of these planets from another. Untrue
Camden Wright
Wormhole or a gay faggy rainbow bridge
David Rogers
Then how do you explain people traveling from Asgard to earth in a space ship?
Dylan Baker
Classic God's dude. It's all bout ego. Religion is ego.
Jonathan Diaz
The movies are marvel material based on the comics which themselves are based on actual stories in norse mythology. Until you get official releases/statements of changes to previously established material, you go off of that. Just because some random writer or scripter adds something wrong or lazy does not mean it's now cannon.
