Norse Mythology look alike
Anyone else get a sense of Norse Mythos in the movie? Beerus's world resembles a lot like Asgard, surround by 8 planets (or "realms). Another takeaway, was Whis's teleportation which looks a lot like the Bifrost.
shareNever thought of it, but it's possible. Akira more than likely has taken inspiration from other sources. Maybe he loves the THOR movies.
I actually think there's a little DRAGON BALL Z ABRIDGED humor in this film, too. Like when Shenron is intimidated by Beerus, reminded me of the Abridged show when Shenron obeyed Mr. Popo as his superior. My brother said Akira was aware of the Abridged show, and enjoyed it. Whether or not that's true, I think that's pretty awesome.
