You know, if there is an indeterminate period of time before The Snarl calms down, how did they survive the first bunch of worlds which lasted for very short periods of time? Though it sounds like being part of a pantheon is critical, which The Dark One doesn't have.

Probably whatever stores of energy they had after the creation of the universe kept them going until they had followers to fill them back up.

And presumably, as mentioned, the pantheons are important. I'd guess the quiddities can make a sort of shared energy-bank.

Odin talking about string is kind of ominous.

Odin talking about string is kind of ominous.

Seems to be like a metaphor for 'what's done can't be undone' (technically, you could undo a string by unravelling it's individual fibres, but that's besides the point). Though theres probably a ton of other metaphors that Rich Burlew could have used to give the same meaning, whether he chose that deliberately or because it's something he thought of unrelated to the plot remains to be seen.

Plus Odin being Oracle cryptic in a lucid moment.

Yeah, its just an interesting choice of words considering Odin's previous comments (Worlds within worlds and yarn winding yarn), and the way that the threads of reality were symbolically represented as actual threads (even though what we've more recently seen of ol' purple and scary is a lot less fuzzy and a lot more Elder God)

Thor said "concrete physical aid", so I'm guessing it's something along the lines of the sword technique that Roy learned while dead. Or maybe a hidden stash of magical items or something, but that would be less cool imo.

I love how every single new panel of this comic just churns out more speculstion and theories.
