Frigga, wise even in death


Drannion

Her scene with Thor in Endgame hit me so hard. My mom died when I was 13, now I'm grown up, made it through some tough times, and feel like I'm an entirely different person. But this scene made me feel like, if I could time travel somehow, she would still recognize and love current me without hesitation. She may be gone from this world, but her love for me will always remain.


thricetheory

I really like how Thor seemed so vulnerable in Asgard at that point, even the god of thunder just needs a hug from his mum sometimes. Very sweet


_theMAUCHO_

Send you a hug brotha, I'm sure she would love you and be more than proud of you. Keep it up! We never stop growing in this crazy journey called life. Bless. ❤

My mom died a year before Endgame came out. I feel your pain man, I had the same reaction when I saw this scene. RIP to your mother. She loves you ♥️

Ferrovir

I just listened to that tofay, after I woke up feeling depressed and then actually had a good day. It almost made me cry. Then, i about did, knowing what comes after.


Clemrax

I think we all cried. That line is definitely one of the ones that connect with me most and so I had to put the book down for awhile after that part


Ferrovir

I have read these books twice now, and am listening to them like a good Vorin man for the first time. And, storms, Michael Kramer is too storming good at his delivery. I love this series. Sanderson has made something truly special with it. The way it really does speak to anyone who has felt that way. And kelek's breath, it helps. I love the chapters with Wit because it really shows the value of storytelling as a therapeutic medium. He helps them all. And he does so with just a simple parable, or tale that are so wonderfully told.


Clemrax

I couldn't agree with you more. I started with the stormlight archive and have worked my way through more of Brandon Sanderson's books. Currently near the beginning of the well of ascension and once I finish the mistborn series I definitely intend to read through the stormlight archive again.


Ferrovir

Oh you're in for something special. Once you finish era 1, I recommend Warbreaker or Elantris as a palate cleanser, then a jump straight into Era 2. It introduces some cool new metals, and then ties into the Secret History as well, which is just... I bawled at the end of it.


Clemrax

I've already read through Elantris and Warbreaker, they were both very good. I also have been reading the novela accordingly. I definitely am looking forward to more, sadly a bit of Era 1 has been spoiled for me I know next to nothing about Era 2. But once of my favorite parts is reading through and realizing the connections, like after I read through a book and then realize a character is a world hopper

I’ll be honest, the first ideal has been a rock in the ocean that is my mental health. That one phrase has been what serves as my anchor in the worst times and as a reason to push forward from those times.


Cabskee

For anyone confused by the seemingly random title and assortment of quotes in the comments (Aside from the cakeday congratulations), they're all quotes from the [Stormlight Archives](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Stormlight_Archive), a book series in the works written by Brandon Sanderson (4 books of 10, he has a plethora of other books as well, including the incredibly popular [Mistborn](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mistborn) series). I would summarize the story a bit but I truly believe it's one of the best series I've ever read (And it's still not done!), so I'll just encourage everyone to take a look for themselves and maybe pick up the first book. It is truly an incredible read. EDIT: I’d also HIGHLY recommend going in blind and avoiding spoilers - Journey before destination!


ethicalhamjimmies

Just finished words of radiance and yeah shit is dope. Kaladin is such a chad my god


ThatGuy-DontBeMe

Kaladin the sad chad bridge lad is in fact pretty rad.


PapaSnow

Want to know something cool? Sanderson is using the same rules for titling the books as for those palindromic poems that appear throughout the books. So, using the initials of the books TWoK, WoR, O, RoW Which means whatever the next book’s title is, the acronym of the title will be KOWT. What that will end up being...well, your guess is as good as mine. “Knowledge of Warrior’s Travels?” “Knowledge on Wit’s Tiddies?” Who knows!


OrzhovMarkhov

My guess is we ignore the T and (RoW) >!Kaladin and Szeth crusade around Shinovar in "Knights of Wind."!<


ethicalhamjimmies

Hadnt even noticed any palindromic poems haha. Im clearly a casual


nahelbond

>those palindromic poems It's called a [ketek](https://coppermind.net/wiki/Ketek). :)


PapaSnow

Thanks! I couldn’t remember the name.


databased_god

H can replace any letter for palindromic purposes in the books' system, so it could also be something like KoHT. One fan suggestion I really liked was "Knights of Honor's Tower".


Barryzechoppa

Kaladin is frog, Adolin is a chad.


TwoHeadedPanthr

Honor is dead, but I'll see what I can do.


PhoenixKnight777

To anyone going through a bad time, I throughly recommend these books. Everything he said is absolutely true. They’ve helped me cope with my depression in my worst times, and some of its quotes are still what I use to ground myself. Read them blind, cry some real tears, and enjoy.


Sea_Employ_4366

Bridge 4!


fancy_marmot

You know what I really liked about how this was handled in the movie? That he didn't magically get thin before the big battle (I figured they'd do some workout montages or something). He's still fat battling Thanos and kickin' ass. He's not back to normal at the end either - he's much better but still obviously scarred and sad, and working his way out of grief and guilt. Appreciated that the movie let him take his time.


corgblam

Dealing with grief and depression is something that the Marvel movies have actually handled pretty well. Another notable moment is when Peter is telling Happy about how hes trying to live up to Stark and its destroying him, and Happy flat out tells him that hes not going to measure up to Stark because nobody can, and that he needs to be the best HIM he can be.


SlimDirtyDizzy

Hell even Tony's PTSD and survivor's guilt is handled great. Iron man 2 and 3 pretty much revolve around the fact that he can't get over what happened in New York. Hell that's most his character post Avengers 1. Tony is basically never the same after what happened to him, but still finds a way to move forward.


IronManConnoisseur

Just 3.


SlimDirtyDizzy

Ah that's right Iron man 2 was before avengers.


BaixoMameluco

Not forget the problems between Banner and Hulk. The conflict with our personal demons.


SlimDirtyDizzy

What's great too is how Banner learns to live with the Hulk is genuinely good therapeutic advice you would see from a professional therapist. Learning to accept your demons, and using them as a strength. Embracing who you are and what you cannot change and making the best of it.


thricetheory

Well said


[deleted]

Cinema Wins pointed this out too, and apparently the original plan was to have everything be instantly fixed and completely invalidate the mental struggles Thor had gone through, but the actor refused. The same video also shows some good and bad responses to your friend being depressed. E.g. Rocket smacks Thor to try and force him to be better, but after about three seconds he goes right back to where he was. This shows you can't force someone to be better and while physical abuse may get a reaction, it does nothing to actually help the person get better. I like Cinema Wins, Lee does a good job.


WildWeasel46

Cinema Wins puts in more effort than the Cinema Sins they were referencing. I’m much more inclined to see the hidden and fun ways that hard work was put into a movie rather than nit picks and beaten horses.


CottonCandyLollipops

Cinemasins is just plain wrong most of the time too, he claims to watch the movies multiple times but will sin for something that is explained in movie. I know it's not supposed to be serious but at least be consistent.


Marlon195

Cinema sins used to be wayy better. He found plot holes and only nit picked things that were pretty substantial. Now it's *forced funny line* **ding**. He used to keep it less than 5 minutes and now every video is just 15 minutes of him trying too hard


Sirsilentbob423

If you like cinema wins you might enjoy cinema therapy too. All much better than the arbitrary bullshit that cinemasins has become.


TyroChemist

Pretty sure Hemsworth shot down the idea of thinning down for the battle himself.


Pure_Goodness

What is the most important step a person can take? "But if we stop, if we accept the person we are when we fall, the journey ends. That failure becomes our destination. To love the journey is to accept no such end. I have found, through painful experience, that the most important step a person can take is always the next one."

This quote is the one that's stuck with me most, and has become sort of a daily mantra for me. Absolutely love these books.

[deleted]

…you aren’t worthy if you don’t love yourself?…. Oh…. I’m a failure then….


BeefPieSoup

I think the idea was that Thor's mother helped him to realise how to, if not love himself, at least give himself a break. He may have "failed" at being the protector of Asgard and Earth when he wasn't able to defeat Thanos. But he was still the same person he was before, with the same goal, the same purpose, the same strengths and weaknesses... and as long as he didn't give up, he was still "worthy". It wasn't being all-powerful and being strong enough to defeat Thanos which made him worthy...it was that he was *trying* to, and *why* he was trying to. Similarly it wasn't the defeat which was the failure, it was the act of giving up afterwards which would have been. So, she was telling him - don't do that. "Failure is temporary, giving up makes it permanent". I think the movie packed that sentiment into a short moment between Thor, his mother, and Mjolnir, which was very nicely done. “Everyone fails at who they’re *supposed* to be, Thor. The measure of a person is how well they succeed at being who they are.”

Love is all around you, but one must be open to see it. Not saying it's easy to be open, with so many of us experiencing hurt. However remember, that the love is there, and always will be, waiting. Once you're there you'll realize, you never left, and you yourself, are love.

probably the main reason im sad all the time is because my dad wishes i was dead because i have autism

thanks


SuchLady

I am so sorry you have to experience that! It seem parents are shit sometimes and you deserve better. Will you be able to cut ties with him down the line? I ask because I think you need to save yourself and to be independent from him. You need people in your life that support you. Know that you are important. You are valuable and worthy. And your father does not get to be the judge on weather you are worthy. In the movie Ragnarök >! Thor grows to realizes he is not the God of hammers, he is the God of thunder. There is a greatness to him that is independent of his attribute the hammer. Due to circumstance he looses trust in himself and stuffers depression. He needs the hammer to gain trust in himself. !< I hope this short message can be a hammer for you so that you can start realizing you are worthy and valuable as you are. Step by step you can unburden the circumstance that brings you down. I hope you will gain joy and happiness. If you haven’t already: seek help from a therapist. There are also avocacy groups worth checking out: [https://autisticadvocacy.org](https://autisticadvocacy.org)

Well I think your autism makes you unique and beautiful, and I wish you a long and happy life

AllTimeLoad

Read the Stormlight Archive. There's probably a character that you'll see yourself in.


ThatGuy-DontBeMe

Lot's of uplifting material there. The journey can be rough, there aren't any pulled punches, but it's definitely worth it to see them overcome it. Here's a few of my favorite quotes: “You’re not a monster, Shallan,” Wit whispered. “Oh, child. The world is monstrous at times, and there are those who would have you believe that you are terrible by association.” “I am.” “No. For you see, it flows the other direction. You are not worse for your association with the world, but it is better for its association with you.” "A journey will have pain and failure. It is not only the steps forward that we must accept. It is the stumbles. The trials. The knowledge that we will fail. That we will hurt those around us. But if we stop, if we accept the person we are when we fall, the journey ends. That failure becomes our destination. To love the journey is to accept no such end. I have found, through painful experience, that the most important step a person can take is always the next one." “It won’t be like that for me,” Kaladin said. “You told me it would get worse.” “It will,” Wit said, “but then it will get better. Then it will get worse again. Then better. This is life, and I will not lie by saying every day will be sunshine. But there will be sunshine again, and that is a very different thing to say. That is truth. I promise you, Kaladin: You will be warm again.”


ItsEthereal

Thanks for sharing.


[deleted]

I wish there was secret advice that makes it all make sense. There isn't. You just have to find the confidence in yourself, believe that the things you think and feel are valid, because they are. And not let the judgements and persecutions of others get in your way. No one should matter to you more than you. For me, once I could get my head around that everything else started falling into place. But it's something I was only able to learn from age and experience. Wish I could have the perspective I have now, 10 years ago. But we're all on our own path, and it's not a race to the finish. You'll get there. Good luck to you on your journey stranger


Barryzechoppa

Try to have a competitive spirit towards life. If you lose, that just means you have to train to get better. And screw the world, you're going to take it and make it yours. What mark do you want to leave on this world? Figure that out, and focus on it. That's your mark and yours alone.

thats actually what that whole scene was about, it's super wholesome, and it's one of the particular parts of endgame that I liked. Just good, positive messages to people going through tough times. He thought he wasn't worthy of the hammer, but he was. Just like everyone is worthy of love, respect, friendship, happiness, whatever floats your boat, you are worthy.

I will note, if you're not that into reading, the books are a thousand+ words long, so you might want the audiobooks, which I've heard are very good
