I saw a similar video to the first commentor and am not familiar enough with norse mythology to judge the validity.
But it wasn't trying to argue that Christianity was actually related to norse mythology, just that based on the depictions of Loki and his behavior as a insecure God, if he were to defeat odin and thor and go start over somewhere he would act a lot like old testiment depiction of God. Which honestly could make a pretty good foundation for a fantasy story if someone wanted I guess
