"This is it. The last battle between Gods and Giants"

— RAGNAROK Season 3 (August 24th)

[njutul]

...what was that ending- how did they just- pick up two whole seasons of setting everything up for a big show down and- turn it into a "well, nice allegory wasn't it?" in twenty minutes??? i- why- how- this feels like that ending of Harry Potter where he just wakes up under the staircase because he dreamt everything- THAT CAME OUT OF THE BLUE WHAT THE HELL

[multigaydom]

are you really telling me that after this whole climate oriented subplot of destroying the water supply and stuff, Magne won't recycle those comics?????

Promoting Ragnarok Netflix because no one else does.

Kind of got a fun little headcanon that there are actually WAY more people in the town of Edda who are fully aware of their status' as reincarnated gods and are just like: "Eh. It is what it is." and just go about their everyday lives as if nothing much has really changed with the occasional "YOU KNOW!" + "AND YOU KNOW!" moment spattered in.

I love this idea because it just makes Magne, Laurits and the others attempting to do hella sus shit in a completely unsubtle manner so much funnier when you imagine the handful of townsfolk, who always seem to be around for their shenanigans, just watching them and shaking their heads like: "Ah shit, Thor and Loki are back at it again."

Character study based on E01S01 of Ragnarok • Magne's and Laurits' faces are beautiful but hard to capture! Also from a sibling's perspective it's funny that they both sit at in the back of the car.

I call this one Magnes "Oh shit" moment

[m-adp-each]

by the way, the placement of personnel is very interesting.

have you noticed that combat is intertwined with "mundane" life? Moreover, some frames are similar to each other, I would even say that they have a continuation of each other (at least a shot of Ran).

what if this fight takes place in another dimension, while in reality everything is different?

... just imagine how they run around the field, fighting with wooden sticks and arguing who hit whom first.....

Binge watching Ragnarok today and I have to say this was the best season of the series. The ending was a bit confusing but I liked the part where Thor had to die for Magne to live. I saw my girl Isolde as well ( I missed her so much). Still, I am a big #maxa shipper and I just loved the fancy and powerful vibes Magne and Saxa had together. But overall, the season was good, better than the other two for me :))

Where's that Nick Fury Gif about the council making a stupid decision? I feel like that's rather relevant for Ragnarok. I haven't had a chance to watch the whole season just bits and pieces and the rest I've been spoiled through posts and gifs and I refuse to believe they Dallas'ed the entirety of Season 1 and 2. It couldn't have all been in Magne's head, Magne wasn't there when Laurits ate the raw heart and saw Loki in the mirror, he wasn't there when Laurits released Jormungandr the Tapeworm he wasn't there when Laurits told Ran and Fjor about Jormy the Tapeworm either. He also wasn't there for all the random Jutul moments that showed they were Jotunn's and not just horrible rich people, like when Fjor was hanging out in the balcony during Vidar's funeral.

If they had wanted it to be a shock value type situation in such that 'Oh nothing supernatural ever happened lol jk we're so random'; they should have had a better set up and follow through. Had characters question some on Magne's stories and choices and continued the theme from Season 1 where they kept telling Magne he needed meds and counciling -- that whole ass story line disappeared in Season 2 as they expanded those that were supposedly reincarnated.

If I wanted to be let down like this I'd go watch a Marvel Movie....

Ragnarok is extremely good at referring back to norse mythos and translating specific things less known in said mythos to the screen but here are a few things I would have LOVED for them to touch on or refer to;

- Loki and Thor both being redheads in the original norse texts

I just feel like it was a bit of a missed opportunity to do what a lot of modern interpretations of Thor and Loki have done, in letting the fact that the two both have red hair fall to the wayside. (Quick little shout out to God of War for being one of the first instances where I've seen that particular trait kept within their character designs-)

The feature itself was often heavily noted upon anywhere Thor and Loki were concerned. So much so that I'm fairly certain it was one of the reasons why their initial relationship, that of an uncle (Loki) and a nephew (Thor), eventually evolved culturally into that of surrogate siblings.

It also served to highlight just how similar the two actually were. Most notably in how tempestuous both their tempers could be and how prideful they both are as well. Not to mention it would serve as a highlight of the disparity between Thor's less than stellar actions being glorified while Loki's are denounced as tricks and leave him villified.

Not to mention from a story telling standpoint, it would have made the reveal that Laurits is actually Vidar's son and not Asbjørn's a bit less easy to clock but I digress.

- An acknowledgment of a majority of the more notable Aesir having Jotunn ancestry

In terms of the way the show was written, it is understandable that this particular tidbit of info wasn't exactly included.

But it really would have added an interesting take to how Laurits interacted with the other gods, particularly where his more direct connection to the Jotunn in this life was concerned. Because some of the most famous of the Aesir either had direct genealogical or inherited links to the Jotnar in the original myths. Thor, Tyr, Heimdall and even Odin himself to name a few.

So the hypocritical stance the gods (Wotan in particular-) took against Laurits in initially shunning him away for being both Loki in his past life and having direct Jotunn ancestry in this life really would have just nailed home how fickle the other gods truly are. A fact that would have made their eventual turn against Magne for losing his abilities, when he was the one to start the fight against the Jutuls, feel even more like a stab in the back.

- More references to Angrboða and the other children she had with Loki

This is mainly just a little gripe I'd had with the show, in the fact that they all but ignored just how significant Angrboða's union with Loki truly was and what their children endured at the hands of the Aesir simply for being born, especially Fenrir.

I do understand it was due to Laurits being gay in the show (as well as a teenager) but I honestly can't help but feel that they made him so as a way to not have to stress too much about tackling the modern creation stories of Fenrir and Hel. Which sucks because the way they brought Jormungandr to life was genuinely a really interesting take on things.

This is all just my opinion though, if you have differing ones that's more than fine!
