Wonder Woman & Thor Break Myth "Canon" (feat. Red from OSP)

Thor and Wonder Woman are both heavily inspired by Norse and Greek mythology. Yet while their iterations of Loki and Ares draw from ancient beliefs, they took several deviations. But don't worry, as it turns out, even what we think of as "mythology canon" isn't really canon. It's gonna take an expert to explain.
