There is also a couple of things in the film that might be a little inconsistent with The Dark World. I believe Thor mentions something like "My father defeated [Surtur], like, half a million years ago". But we know from Loki - and this lines up with their rate of ageing - that Asgardians only live for only about 5000 years longer than humans. Hela also tells a story about how Odin conquered Asgard and made its empire, I don't know how that lines up with the Bor flashbacks in The Dark World. Also Cate Blanchett said Hela has been locked up for 5000 years, but that would suggest she'd be an elderly woman nearly dead by now - unless her prison didn't have time? But I think it did. Maybe the Royal Family of Asgard lives longer, because they drain energy from Asgard?

I mean, Bor did not die of natural causes, differently from Odin.

The Surtur line is pretty much a joke, but there is always the possibility that Odin didn't defeat when he was King, but when it was a simple Prince. Yeah it's kind of a joke, and maybe that is the case. I'm sure he could have killed him as a prince, but still, for Odin to be 500,000+ years old is a big leap from Loki saying they live for about 5000 years. It would also put it 495,000 years before Bor's fight with Malekith. I can't really see Odin being around all that time ago. Maybe Thor's exaggerating in the joke, and it was only a few thousand years before.
