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

— RAGNAROK Season 3 (August 24th)

[foxglovevibes]

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."

[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.....

When I watched saw x and took one look at cecilia I just knew Synnøve has kissed women before!! Look what I now discovered watching Ragnarok 😭

[chillysbrainrot]

I just watched Ragnarok Season 3 and have some thoughts about it. Most of all, this is about Magne, and what I had in mind watching him throughout the series. Come scream at me with your own thoughts.

Keep in mind, this has some major spoilers of season 3.

Magne

I totally get him, I get why the writers had us living through everything and then just to end it without the huge fight everyone expected.

Magne himself: he is the lone, strange kid. Too big, too silent. Maybe he could be considered to be on the neurodiverse spectrum. He also struggles with being dyslexic and seems to be behind his peers. That alone makes him a pariah for most. Season 3 with the comics and Turid‘s speech made a lot of things clear. (Maybe Magne never really understood or worked through the death of his father Asbjorn. He had somehow to cope.) Magne used to flee into whatever he could to feel like he belongs, to escape reality and not feel „worthless/powerless“ all the time.

Turid: She wants to be helpful but can’t to seem understand either Magne or Laurits. The death of Asbjorn has forced her to be the sole provider for their family, she struggles with the problems they have and while she sees her children struggle, she doesn’t take the time needed to fully listen to them, thinking it’s just a phase most of the time we see her. It takes tragic accidents (and whatever really happened to Trym) for her to finally understand that something is really bad, that Magne needs help.

Isolde: She is an outsider herself, but it seems to be partially by choice. She is the one to see Magne, not his problems, but him, and really wants him to come out of his shell and learn to life. She sees him and he latched onto that, because for once someone doesn’t see the kid with problems but Magne as a human being. She seems to be the first.

Isolde‘s death: A major trigger. Magne began to feel human around Isolde and maybe blamed himself for her death because he was supposed to be with her. It also seemed to have triggered the episode of Magne falling back into the pseudo-reality he built to cope with the accident. The Jutuls were an easy target to blame.

Everyone against Magne: Teachers, the police, even his own mother seemed to be against him. Magne couldn’t understand the world anymore, He couldn’t understand why Isolde’s death wasn’t “as big of a deal” for everyone else as it had been for him. He felt betrayed by Erik especially because he was Isolde’s father and seemed to take it as it was. It didn’t make sense for him, because Isolde told him she was a good paraglider and why would she make the mistake to fly down in a thunderstorm? The police seemed to change their opinion again and again. He lashes out, flees into being Thor because then he could be strong, and look for the real reason.

Laurits seemed to be the first to understand that his brother really has some problems, and that he should stand with him (cue the Ran/Jutul-Parody). Laurits is also portrayed as hopping sides whenever Magne escalates because I think he is one of the few to call/disrupts Magne out of his parade/pseudo-reality

Police, Hospital and Medication: Magne visiting the psychiatrist and getting medication as a paranoid schizophrenic. Magne has lived through a traumatic experience with Isolde’s death and can’t seem to cope with it at all. They said he seemed to believe he needed to be a hero and to protect Edda from the evil of the Jutuls. He seemed to realize himself fleeing into the “Thor-identity” because he said: “I wasn’t myself” but fell right back into it. Did he ever take the medication, after the fight with Vidar, didn’t Turid ever force him to take it? Didn’t a doctor ever check in if Magne took his medication? Or did Magne already flee so far into this pseudo reality that he kept living it? (Maybe it is a major plothole)

Wench and Isolde’s words: Wench might be a bit strange, I would say she, while being a “strange old lady” somehow get’s Magne and means to be helpful to guid him along the way when others couldn’t. The vision of her turning to Isolde, saying she would always be with him (in his heart), is for me a step forward for him, because while he still seems to be trapped in his pseudo reality he starts to open up to others. The other gods come into play, Signy, and the other local kids. He becomes approachable but the war in his head is not over.

The other gods/friends: They became Magne’s friends along the journey but also fight with each other so often, or become strangers along the way again. Totally natural. Magne is more open to them, maybe even relates to them but a lot of it depends on his behavior. Whenever he seems to withdraw back into the “war in his head” he becomes unapproachable, even hurtful.

The Jutuls: They are, in his head, the enemy and source of all evil. An target to put his anger, instead to eat it up and let it fester. For him, they are at fault for everything bad that happens in Edda. Maybe they are for some of these: certainly a big company into mining rare resources has some skeletons in the closets.

Mjolnir: A power-fantasy. Magne felt useless, a loser. When everyone who was “hurt” by Jutul Industries turned him down on the rightful way, and people kept dying from the neglect by the Jutuls, he snapped and turned to the one thing that gave him power. It made him feel strong, but enstranged him to Signy and his brother, even the other gods/friends who at first enabled him to get stronger through it. It’s why it helped to have it at first. He had some sense of power because his friends helped him to believe in himself, he was strong, and didn’t need that “fantasy” for the time being. But when he felt helpless again? He needed that hammer, and needed to feel strong against the “Jutul threat”. Maybe he had a lawsuit that could stand in for the hammer, people certainly could be weary. The woman Magne found was the best example that Jutul Industries neglected their (former) workers. Maybe even after the death of the woman they had an ongoing lawsuit, up until it either got maybe dissolved, left for the time being or something else happened. Magne “lost” his weapon in the Fjord and the Jutuls had the hammer for a short moment, maybe the offered compensation in the “real world” and the family of the woman thought about accepting? Magne regained the hammer but got a reality check.

Wotan’s/Odin’s reality check: Wotan took Magne out of the escalating situation before more people could get hurt. He forced Magne to come back to himself and realize why he was behaving like he did. It is the point that finally brought Magne to himself, to understand while the death of Isolde, his fear to have disappointed her, it was what fed the pseudo reality into what it was festering into. That he needed to come back to the “real” world. It is why he, even if we expected the fight to happen, he finally let it go. He forgave himself, the Jutuls (to an extent), and let it, and symbolic the hammer with its power, go. Because, and that is why we see the fight in the pseudo-reality in the last episode, he has to move forward at some point, and not loose himself and the others forever.

Thor’s death: Thor needed to die for Magne to life. Magne finally found his way out, and realized that he had escaped into a wrong reality. Thor had to die, so Magne could become himself. He was a young man about to graduate from school, and had scared the girl he lived away with how he behaved. We are how Ragnarok plays out, how Thor does, but Magne lives and ends it with throwing the comics away. He no longer needs to flee reality and was ready to rebuild his relationship and strengthen those he made on his way to recovery.

Thor dies so Magne could life.

Lately I've been obsessed with synnove macody lund in the same way I was obsessed with leigh whannel a few months ago so I'm watching every movie and show that she is in and giggling and kicking my feet. Living la vida loca

[ranjxtul]

hey friends! i’m putting out into the ether that i’d love to roleplay saw! i already do and i help mod a saw rp server on discord. specifically i’m interested in father/daughter john and amanda, cecilia x amanda, cecilia x jill and gabby and valentina. i can work with whatever though. i just desperately want to write. (also side note, i’m dying to write for rán, a character in netflix ragnarok so if anyone’s seen that and wants to write rán and someone else with me PLEASE i have so many ideas.) i’ve been roleplaying for ten years and i can match literacy fairly well. please, dm me!

[sirenesta]

i'm rewriting season three out of spite and im not even joking

[mushed-kid]

the jutuls have such weird first names. Vidar is normal, but the others? I guess Ran isn’t that weird, never heard ut before but still, except that it literally means Robbery. and Saxa is just a weird name that i’ve also never heard. and i haven’t heard Fjor before, and it works, but it means Last year

[flutteringphalanges]

I really liked how twice Saxa referred to Vidar and Ran as her parents. NOT when she was talking to the humans, but once when she called Vidar “Papa” in a conversation she had with Fjor (about why she was hanging around Laurits in 1x03 to get intel on Magne). And the second time where she called Ran “Mom” in the hopes that maybe she and Fjor wouldn’t beat her (2x06--which didn’t work). 

Then you have Ran referring to herself as Fjor’s “Mother” when she tries to convince him to return home to the family after Vidar died so he could take his rightful place (I forget the episode, but it was in season two). 

Oh! And I forgot when Fjor apologizes to Vidar’s grave and refers to him as “Father” (again, in season two, but I forgot the episode).

Did I miss any instances where the Jutuls actually referred to one another as family members without any humans around?

RAGNAROK S3 SPOILER:

Ragnarok ate with this 🤭🤭🤭 the way Magne shown up at their house multiple times oooo this season keeps on giving!!!

[foxglovevibes]

Something that would have been a really fun twist/take in Ragnarok (Netflix) is if they had a couple characters seemingly be the complete opposite (whether it be their gender, how they choose to present themselves, their personalities etc.) of the god they are the reincarnation of and turn specific stereotypes on their head with the way they're characterised.

Like could you imagine if the main group of gods went out to find one god or another to join them, fully basing their search on their previous incarnation's gender and physical appearance, only to be left absolutely shook when they find someone who seems to be the exact opposite of what they were expecting. But finding out after a while, that their godly nature is still the same as their previous form and has manifested in a way that benefits THEM as they currently are. As opposed to trying to force them into the specific archetype they were given in their life as a norse god/goddess.

Idk, I'm just a sucker for twists like this. Have been ever since I watched Avalon High as a kid 😂 Totally not lowkey planning a fic with this idea in mind- 👀

[karin-in-action]

Things I'm excited for in Ragnarok Season 3

Jörmi being a big boy (and also a good boy)

Saxa being a girlboss, doing something unhinged and threatening people

Ran shooting arrows and just being bad ass whatever she does

Y'all, I've been wanting to cosplay Cecilia since my first watch of Saw X last year and I finally did at a con recently!! Had the opportunity to do a night shoot with a really cool photographer and I am in love with how they turned out, got so many amazing photos that I can't wait to share! And would y'all believe I've already got plans to cosplay other versions of Cecilia, including au stuff haha (I've also been thinking of cosplaying some other characters played by Synnove, very much thinking Ran Jutul from Ragnarok might have to be a future cosplay project)

Also had to compress these to upload them here so hopefully the quality isn't ruined too much <3

[hiyaluronic]

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 netflix spoilers under the cut i really need to vent ashahshahdg

from the little i've seen i assume everyone is on the same boat but i'm so??? disappointed???? like it feels like s3 was made by an entirely different team, and i'm not ignoring how the pandemic affected production and all that, but from laurits being pretty much irrelevant through the entirety of the last season, to the weird narrator voice-overs that were never part of the aesthetic of the show, to signy just. existing now, to everything being pretty much just a psychotic episode,

what the actual fuck???

i guess it kinda explains why turid was so, uh, complacent with magne's behavior, but at the same time it doesn't? if someone in your care has problems telling reality from imagination, maybe pay some fucking attention to them and help?

also were they like trying to hint at it since that time in season, i wanna say, 2? when a nurse i think said hey magne might be going through it, and we all thought they just don't get it, and moved on? because we all thought they just don't get it, and moved the fuck on!!! i don't even remember much of the scene it just exists vaguely in my head because of the flashbacks magne kept having when wotan gave him fucking drugs,

ALSO, ON THAT NOTE, if it was. all. just. happening in his head. what were a bunch of adults (wenche, wotan, harry, harry's friend the nurse that helped them "forge" "the hammer", fuck it even jens he doesn't go to school so he's at least 18) not only hanging out with kids, but also enabling? his psychosis?? i get playing along so as not to scare them away, but magne wasn't their problem. they didn't have to play along, the kid had a family. he was turid's responsibility. what the fuck.

and what the fuck do we make of stuff that he wasn't supposed to know about, but we got to watch anyways. what do we make of the jutul family dinamic. what do we make of the time laurits spent by the fjord "raising" "little o". what do we make of iman seducing ran to get better grades (relatable, but gross). what do we make of fjor and the lady from the company (also fucking gross he's a kid). what do we make of everything

and goodness me, i just do not think a group of kids that went through so much crap and fighting and break-ups and hatred and family crap, would just. sit together and drink and laugh like nothing happened. with wotan of all people as chaperone. teenagers are brutal. i'm 27 and there's still people from back in high school that i don't talk to because we had a stupid fight and no one even remembers what the stupid reason was we just hold our stupid grudges because the teenager in us tells us to

like the war never really happening (what do we make of that meet-up, then?) was underwhelming enough but the finale was just icing on the poop cake. there was so much hype and 2 whole years waiting for them to pull the "it was just a dream" ending but worse. my heart breaks because the first season was going places. it had so much potential. s2 was a little slow but understandably so -- if they moved too fast there would be no excuse for another season, the war would just have to happen,

and then,

it never did 🤡
