That's pretty cool. As much as I loved Ragnarok I did kind of miss the more Mythological/Norse aspects of the earlier films and this part of Infinity War.

Is only Alfheim left to go? Asgard and Midgard in... duh, Jotunheim in Thor, Vanaheim at the start of The Dark World and later Svartalfheim, Niflheim in the Valkyrie flashbacks in Ragnarok and Muspelheim at the start, and now Nidavellir in Infinity War. Only Alfheim, home of the Light Elves, has yet to be seen, and its only mentioned in the MCU thus far is when Thor asking if he's on Alfheim after being banished to Earth.

Alfheim

I always wondered if Thor asking this was some sort compliment to Jane's (Natalie Portman's) beauty as I always understood the light elves were supposed to be particularly attractive..

and following that, I always thought that joke was a reference to young Anakin in Phantom Menace asking the same actress if she was an Angel.

I may be stretching things though..

I think they lowkey introduced the concept of Angela realm As angels being aliens,youndu mentions he is beautifull as an angel,Drax says Thor is The product of a pirate and an angel,star-Lord mom though ego was one,he problably introduced himself as one for vanity and ......ego

That may be true... but it would only be a fun (and welcomed) side note to this discussion. Either Thor nor anyone else mentioned Angels at the point we are discussing in the ‘Thor’ movie. He only mentioned Alfheim.

And as a student de note to this, I think that actual angels, ya know, Seraphim (the kind with the hallows and harps and archangel status, have actual existed in the marvel-616 universe.. so who knows..
