I'm back with more from Tor on Thor. :)
One of my favorite series on Tor is Medieval Matters. The author published Thor: Ragnarok vs. the Real Ragnarök which breaks down some of the differences between myth and MCU. I had forgotten a lot of what I once knew about Norse mythology, so I found the article interesting, especially when thinking about why the film makers made the choices they did with regard to how they handled the myths.
It's definitely a light-hearted analysis, and I think you might enjoy it:

And, truthfully, it’s hard not to be delighted with how much they did manage to sneak in, including Bruce Banner wearing Tony Stark’s t-shirt featuring Duran Duran’s hit album Rio … whose second single was “Hungry Like the Wolf.”
That’s seriously clever foreshadowing, filmmakers.
Now, if y’all could somehow incorporate having part of Thanos’ ship in Infinity War be made with the fingernails of dead men, that’d be super.
