Odin as he is characterized in comics is from the Stan Lee 60s era where the old white men were in charge of their respective domains. It was Xavier and Magneto for mutants, Odin for the Asgardians, Reed Richards for the FF, etc. Old man Odin was always basically BULLYING his son Thor and heaping ridiculous punishments on him that got unchallenged.
But today things have changed. As the overall culture of today has changed, so has Marvel comics in bringing more female characters to the forefront. The All Mother ruling Asgard is a part of that. And actually in the ancient myths Freyja got one half of the dead in Valhalla (Odin got the other half). She was not subordinate to Odin (a lot of experts now say Freyja and Frigga are the same goddess in ancient myths). 60s Marvel reimagined the ancient myths to solely focus on a few male gods most of the time, but as noted that isn't the culture we live in.
Back to Odin, he's about to change now as this is the first time he will get a Grade A beat down by a Thor, a woman Thor no less.
