Hey Thor fans, just a quick question: does anyone know how many people live in Asgard? Are there civilians who are not immortal god like beings who live there?  
 
All versions of Asgard if you please, movie, standard marvel universe and ultimate uni.  
 
Thanks  

Theoretically there should be no civilian gods except for maybe children. Civilians have been dipicted though so not sure among Asgardians. Also the Eijenhar(spelling) who are the honored dead in Valhalla live there and fight for Asgard in time of need.

like 500

Never actually thought about this. Now I wonder.

It has never been clarified. Based on the size the city is drawn is it anywhere from the tens of thousands to millions. Many older stories included settlements outside the city where people lived that were associated with Asgard.

Modern wise comics I would say in the lower ten thousands. The city is not that large and most of the population is stacked on each other.

Ultimate Universe would be about the same.

Barring creatures from other realms I would say most of the population are immortal Asgardians. Writers often shift between the Asgardians being true gods in the religious sense to being a race of godlike beings that use magic. Therefore some stories show Asgard being basically the same as Dungeons and Dragons with markets, bars, etc. Everything you would expect from an Earth society of that time period.

I always thought something like 2000. That was the size of my class back in high school and it didn't seem that big.

In the MCU? I'm going to guess 12,000 at the start of Thor 1. Probably less since the war with the Frost Giants.

About 10,000 by the start of Thor Ragnarok. *Dark Elf attack probs killed about 1,000 soliders and civilians. They raided the palace and fired on tons of civilians. Then another 1,000 from different battles that had occurred between Thor 1 and Thor 3.*

Between Hela and Surtur, I'm going to bet there were maybe 5,000 refugees left that escaped on the ship. *script said that there were thousands on the refugee vessel*

She essentially killed the entire Asgardian military force and sent out death squads to deal with those who would not join her.

Thanos then killed half of those, bringing their population to 2,500. The snap then killed half of that amount, bringing their current population to about 1,250.

good guesses.

I would say comic and mcu wise the depcitions have been pretty inconsistent. But I think thats because the idea of Asgard changed between Thor 1 and Thor 2

MCU Asgardians have been reduced to a quarter of their population in the span of 4 years of so, and considering that they live for thousands of years, it must have felt like if they were instantly wiped out.

I'll just comment on standard comics Asgard since mcu has already been mentioned enough above. Its been portrayed a few different ways over the years in terms of having mostly gods as opposed to a decent amount of what you might call common folk. imo Asgard's population is prob in the 50-100k range. Because we know that Asgard has formed a considerably large army at times but not super large and Asgard itself doesn't seem overly large either. So that would be my guess. I think it can form an army of about 10-20k soldiers if it wants to.

700 million

I believe that's right, IIRC Odin mentioned during Fear Itself that he had an army of 20,000 asgardians ready to fight Cul and raze Midgard to rid it of his influence.

Also remember, that both Asgard and its army has been referred to many times as one of the most powerful in all the realms.

Last time I was there it seemed like millions of them. But I was drinking ale and seeing triple. You know when you party with those damn gods they get all crazy.
