Don't worry, I know what you mean! I haven't read much of the comics, but I've seen character profiles online and summaries of some of the stuff that happens. It seems like they take the stories from the Eddas and change them a bit to add more drama. A lot of the lessons that are supposed to be learned about human nature from the myths get lost when this happens. Some of Marvel's interpretations of the characters are also a little odd, especially with their crazy outfits, horns, and whatnot. I'm just glad there's something in pop culture that people who don't know much about Norse mythology can relate to.
