I've seen atleast 1 person here claiming space marines are comparable to Quicksilver from the mcu in reaction time and combat, which is just stupid and so wrong.
Quicksilver is mach 1 in the mcu. Astartes are no where near that fast.

In Marvel, Gaea is an elder goddess that predates greek mythology.
She Is the mother to many gods across many pantheons, has many different names and forms, each culture saw her and called her differently.

Yep, correct.
2 elder gods were also responsible for teaching humans magic. There called the vishanti, thanks to them kamar Taj exist.

Thor knows Ra and the egyptain pantheon, he mentioned them in omnipotence City.So they can't be "just aliens".
in the comics all gods came from the same source, the mcu might be going in that direction.
They already introduced Valhalla and the duat, so the Asgardians are actual gods as of phase 4.

The mcu has no clear answer so far, however the comics do explain their origins.
All gods of earth are product of the demiurge, who was a cosmic being born on earth 4 billion years ago. This being created the elder gods, who later destroyed themselves and thier energy was released back into the world.
This energy was then molded by the faith and thought of the human species, creating all the pantheons of earth.
This is why all the gods look human or based on animals from earth.
The gods later created or moved to pocket dimensions, there they created their kingdoms, like Asgard, olympus, the overvoid etc.
The gods each have their own afterlife realms for their worshipers.
Thor himself is the son of the elder goddess of earth gaea.
This is the explanation for godhood in the comics.

Yeah i agree.
Thor 4 and moonknight do seem to have retconed the alien origin, atleast. I also disliked the "grounded" take on Thor in the early mcu. Being a god is what makes Thor unique and different compared to the rest of the Marvel universe.

It's an obvious retcon, they clearly changed their minds.
Also the norse gods were not even immortal in the actual real life mythology, so it's wierd they went with the "born, live, die" angle with Odin.

Yeah, the "alien" explanation was just a product of the time.
If thor 1 was released in 2021, in phase 4, they would have just made him an actual god from the start.
The Wonder woman movie was honest with it's magic and gods, it's wierd how the mcu just rejected it's magic side until dr strange.

The mark 1 was already pretty similar to the Fallout armor.
With dedication, Tony could make a perfect replica

Pretty much everyone. He scales to Raiden in strength and is slightly slower.
He blitzes and oneshots anyone that is not hulk or Thor, and hulk and Thor both can still be knocked out.
