What happened to Heimdall's sword?












14















Heimdall's sword Hofund is reported as "made by the Dwarf smiths of Nidavellir". It seems like it is also the "Thanos-killing kind". I was wondering why Thor didn't use it against Thanos (instead of the long process of forging a new weapon), but the link says:




After having escaped Asgard's destruction, Hofund was physically broken during the subsequent massacre by Thanos.




I don't recall seeing this, so maybe someone can help pinpoint what this is referring to.

    How does it seem like it's the Thanos-killing kind of weapon?

    I suppose I'm just assuming this is true (or at least plausible) of all weapons forged on Nidavellir.

  • Thor is only proficient in hammers and axes, not in swords, and he didn't want to take the non-proficiency penalty on his to-hit rolls.

Hofund was indeed broken in the battle, we see this when Heimdall sends Hulk back to Earth by summoning the Bifrost.



Heimdall sends Hulk back to Earth



That is the last we see of the sword and then the ship is blown up using the Power Stone by Thanos. Therefore, it is quite likely that the sword was broken up further but we don't see it again to know for sure.

    I'm consistently impressed with the amount of detail that was thought of and covered in these later films in the series. It's like they thought of everything. They have so many minor additions for evidence that answer these kinds of questions.

Knooppunt Holsloot

Knooppunt Holsloot Kenmerken Wegen A37 × N34 Type knooppunt klaverblad Portaal     Verkeer & Vervoer Knooppunt Holsloot is een verkeersknooppunt op de kruising van de autosnelweg A37 en de N34 in Drenthe, tussen Emmen en Coevorden. Oorspronkelijk was deze aansluiting een afritconstructie van het type Haarlemmermeeraansluiting, zoals bij Knooppunt Hooipolder. Sinds 2002 is het knooppunt omgebouwd tot een volledig klaverblad. Als noviteit werd hier voor het eerst gebruikgemaakt van dimbare verlichting in plaats van de normale vaste tijden waarop de verlichting aan en uit gaat, wat een grote kostenbesparing opleverde. [1] Dat Holsloot als volwaardig knooppunt is uitgevoerd, waarbij alle verkeersstromen en afbuigingen ononderbroken kunnen doorgaan, is uitzonderlijk. Het betreft hier namelijk een aansluiting tussen een autosnelweg en niet-snelweg. Een vergelijkbare situatie treft men nabij Hoensbroek bij het knooppunt Ten Esschen.     Aa

Gregoriusmis

Een afbeelding van de Gregoriusmis uit een getijdenboek gemaakt in de zuidelijke Nederlanden tussen 1500 en 1525 Gregoriusmis, Meester van het Akense Altaar, ca. 1500-1525. Collectie Museum Catharijneconvent De Gregoriusmis of de Mis van Sint Gregorius is een motief in katholieke kunst, dat het eerst verscheen in de late Middeleeuwen en dat nog steeds werd gebruikt tijdens de contrareformatie. Paus Gregorius I (ca. 540-604) is afgebeeld, de H. Mis opdragend, terwijl Christus als de Man van Smarten verschijnt op het altaar dat voor Sint Gregorius staat. Volgens de legende had St. Gregorius gebeden om een teken voor een betwijfelaar van de transsubstantiatieleer, waarop de lijdende Christus tijdens het opdragen van de Mis verscheen om hem te overtuigen en waarbij zijn bloed in de altaarkelk liep. Vaak zijn ook de passiewerktuigen afgebeeld. Zie de categorie Mass of Saint Gregory van Wikimedia Commons voor mediabestanden over dit onderwerp. This page is onl
