Is that a Mechanisms reference?

A (probably) speculative question, if you dont mind.

Do you know how many miles long the Rainbow Bridge is from it's starting point in the city/palace to it's end point at Himinbjorg?

I read on the wiki that in the MCU, Asgard is about the size of the continental United States, which made me realise we see only a fraction of it on film. And that got me thinking about the dimensions of the city. And the population and where they live. We know so little about Asgard.

Hey Anon, thank you so much for giving me another opportunity to ramble about Asgard!

First, let's take a look at the view from Himinbjorg AND the palace:

As you can see, The Rainbow Bridge is very long and Himinbjorg is so far away it looks like a mere dot. When in reality, the structure itself is massive. Here you can see Heimdall standing inside for size comparison. The bridge is also quite wide.

Now, let's look at Valaskjalf: The palace is ginormous (these pillars right here are chambers, as seen in the scene where Frigga fights with Malekith- one of them is hers, and they can be barely seen when looking from the city's borders)

The entrance in the lower middle used to be the throne room before they moved it higher up and that is a great example of how big the halls are

Now for the entrance gate-

This entire section right here is BEHIND the gate.

As you can probably tell by now, the gate is outside the city.

Here is the size of their horses for comparison

This one shows the bridge connecting to the palace

While I cannot give you the exact number as it is not stated anywhere (not even in norse mythology) and I don't plan on spending my morning calculating how long a horse is and how many would fit lol, I think this is a good way of seeing just how big Asgard is. Remember, the realm is much bigger than the city. There are mountains surrounding it which were not really shown or explored apart from some brief scenes in Ragnarok (but I prefer to not treat that movie as canon on anything else but the look of the realm)

Update-

Don't know if I've posed this already but eh

This is the Ratatosk Express for Midgard, calling at Yog-Sothoth who is the Bifrost, The Roiling Nuclear Chaos, the Centre of Reality, The Shattered Tatters of a Sane World, and Midgard. Delays possible.

Thank you for travelling with us today! We wish you a safe and pleasant journey.

The Bifrost is the Queer Road

YO WHAT IF THE BIFROST IS THE BI-FROST BECAUSE IT’S A QUEER THING??? It is a rainbow, after all. 

Thank you, Marvel. :)

For the back of the cards I wanted to heimdall guarding the bifrost. After doing some reading I learned that heimdall and loki were often juxtaposed against each other in the mythology so I thought that would make a fun card. Heimdall guarding yggdrasil on one side of the bifrost and loki and his trickster flames on the other side.

Sorry about your boyfriend. The walls began to tear. Not the walls of the train but those of his false and hollow reality. Yeah, he’s twisting in his thrall to yog-sothoth. All the doors are open now. Sorry.

Yknow the live version of red signal where jonnys cock shines with the brightness of a thousand suns while he screams out eldrich chants? Yeag.
