So, I´ve seen enough posts about the new Thor movie, stating that it is spectacular, horrible, that Taika did amazing for all of his commmunity, about Thor´s arc, Valkyire, and even Christian Bale and Gorr being so menacing yet a wasted potential.
Therefore, it is my obligation to make a post about those who were, at least to me, the real GOATS of the movie: Tanngnjóstr y Tanngrisnir. Or if you like, Toothgnasher y Toothgrinder.
Not only they´re super charming and amazing, but also they´re super strong and fast!!! Besides, look at them, how not to love them?
I also loved that reference to the nordic myth, thanks Taika for that <3
Julbock (Yule Goat) 🕯️

“The Yule goat’s origins might go as far back as pre-Christian days. A popular theory is that the celebration of the goat is connected to worship of the Norse god Thor, who rode the sky in a chariot drawn by two goats, Tanngrisnir and Tanngnjóstr. The last sheaf of grain bundled in the harvest was credited with magical properties as the spirit of the harvest and saved for the Yule celebrations, called among other things “Julbocken” (the Yule goat).”
The seventh Arcana - The chariot. Thor and his faithful goats Tanngrisnir and Tanngnjóstr. And yeah, of course, of all things possible, he tattooed his own hammer and his goats’ names. It’s Thor, what you expect?
Id: Marvel's Thor, having a nap against one of his goats. It is unclear if it is Tanngrisnir or Tanngnjóstr. The goat is more than double the size of a normal goat, has long dark brown and white fur, and long horns. It is resting its head on Thor's chest. Thor is wearing a red, white and brown Icelandic sweater, and has his long hair tied loosely. /End id.
After the deaths of Tanngnjóstr and Tanngrisnir, Thor was devastated. Not that anyone could tell. But Sif did and in turn she gifted her husband the mightiest goat in all the realms. Well when he went to mount it as he did as a child, it didn't go the way he remembered. He figured it was cause no goat could compared to Tanngnjóstr and Tanngrisnir. But Heimdal, knowing what his brother was thinking was quick to inform him that Thor had in fact grown quite a bit.
Thor loved his size, but hated how everyone treated him monsterous cause of it. Didn't do well for his body image. And he hated the runt, so with a quick swipe of his hand he showed the skinny evil twink who was the older brother. And if baldur didn't stop yapping his old mouth, he will surely suffer the same fate. No one messes with the older brother. Especially when he weighs more than all the rest of the brothers combine.
....surprised* ...sigh
This is my first attempt at my cartoonish style. Don't ask what happened to the last drawing I was making. Or else..... anyway yeah idk how well it turned out. Still trying to learn the style but there it is. I definitely have room to improve but it didnt turn out too bad. BTW I wanna put this here, I was wrong, Magni and Modi do not share the same mother. I was finally able to confirm it. Tyr and Thor probably still aren't full brothers
