Furthermore, Diana comes across a very different version of Odin compared to what's been seen in Marvel midway through her climb, though he's very much accurate with the old folktales. Likewise, Diana finds herself assisting the squirrel Ratatosk in his classic mission of climbing Yggdrasil the World Tree, conferring with the serpent Nidhogg at the tree's roots, and the great eagle in the branches above, seeking to retrieve an egg to secure Nidhogg's help to find the missing Valkyries. As such, DC fans shouldn't expect him to join the Justice League anytime soon. Beyond that, he has no interest in much else, which tracks with his core warrior depiction in the actual mythology. In this issue, Wonder Woman's interactions with Thor depict him as rather brutish, with his only concern being his own victories and valor as a warrior, to be celebrated with feasting before the next battle to come.

As such, the actual Norse mythology they're based on has taken a backseat in Marvel's depiction, unlike with DC Comics' version seen in Wonder Woman #771 from writers Michael W. This allowed for more cohesion with the rest of the universe, and films such as Thor: Ragnarok doubled down on the fact that Asgard was simply another inhabited planet in the cosmos (albeit with very powerful citizens committed to protecting the Nine Realms (or worlds) under its rule). In the Marvel Cinematic Universe, gods such as Thor and Odin are depicted simply as powerful beings from another world in the galaxy, whose dealings with Earth and its early societies created the perception that they were supernatural gods.
