Ragnarok on Netflix

[Hulkotron]

Yes there are some woke-ish sub-sub-elements but it’s not a central component of the show.  E.g. the Loki kid is bi or something but they don’t make a big deal about it. 

Would pound out Ran.

[Never1AShow]

It's not a diverse show. There's maybe 2-3 people of color in the entire series, but they're not lead characters for the most part. Even so, the people of color do a GREAT job. I think one is from Zimbabwe and another is actually Norwegian.

The show is very NORDIC. The main actors are all Norwegian with the exception of 1 that is from Iceland (still Nordic). If you go through the cast of the show, 99% are Norwegian. I really enjoy shows like this, because they give you a fresh group of faces/actors that aren't gift wrapped from Hollywood. I also enjoy other shows with a dystopian feel to them that take place in places like Germany.

Watched first episode.  It's like a goddamn Ikea

I thought it was nice when that mentioned Ran outed his daughter by
: ” I think a man should be in charge.”

Loki did give birth in original Edda poems so... But in comics he would appear as a woman to some homofobic, have sex with him and then reveal himself. Just to see this other guy fit a noose around his neck.
But only if it would serve his purpose.

I think it is cool that one might believe him to grow up looking like Tom Hiddleston in Marvels version.

Binge watched Season 2 last night.

Ran looks a lot like my Mom. I sent her an email and asked her when she learned to speak Norwegian ?

LOL

Tell your mom I said, "Helloooooooo...Betty!"
Fear not!  She is probably too young and too smart for such as I.

My Mom is awesome. She is a little bit “softer” looking than Ran. My guess is that they have applied Ran’s makeup to make her jawline more pronounced and give her a fiercer look.

My Mom has taken up downhill mountain biking. Apparently you take a ski lift to the top of a hill and mountain bike down wearing a helmet and padding.

I guess it could be worse ?

Your mom must be fearless. I've done downhill mountain biking and I saw my life flash before my eyes, lol.

I have only seen pictures of her doing it. I have never tried it myself. She lives in Europe near the mountains, but I’m guessing she does it on smaller hills ?

She has padded gear that makes her look like Robocop.

Yes- you have to get geared up or you get pretty banged up when you crash. I first tried it at Steamboat in Colorado and found that the speeds can get wild very fast. In Europe, especially in the Alps, the climbs are often at a steeper pitch so mountain biking is truly daredevil. I'm sure your mom is starting on the gentler slopes to get the hang of it!

Watched season 2.

The continuous woke-ism and gender bending gets obnoxious.

Watched season 2.

The continuous woke-ism and gender bending get obnoxious.

Still, series main characters and the premise makes it very very easy to bypass it. Didn't phase me one bit.

Normally i hate (i am one of the biggest opponents of it) Woke-isms and unnecessary insertions of color in todays movies/series but i could easily ignore that due to wanting to see more of Thors evolution, Ran and what's going to happen next etc

Appreciated what was done with Thors physique from Season 1 to Season 2 for example, as i sat there in my Bunnysuit, cock in hand. (No Homer)

Will Baldur , Hel and Ymir emerge as well?

Check out the Getbiggers/Beefcakes Modi, Magni and Thrud at the bottom (might need to click pic)


Very intrigued for Season 3!

[BayGBM]

Word is that Season 3 is on the way… and it will be the final season.  Not sure on the release date so stay tuned.  Meanwhile if you need an immediate fix there is a movie on Amazon Prime called Mortal that offers another take on the mythology.

Ok. Somehow dubbing bothers me a lot so it’s orgininal and subs for me.

As a fan of the genre, I am the target audience and inclined to like them. That said, I think Mortal fell short.  All the ingredients were there but the script disappointed.  The budget was there… sets, costumes, special effects, editing, and production design were all passable.  I liked that it wasn’t a star vehicle and all the actors were new faces to me… but the script ended up going off a cliff in the last 20 minutes… 

I’d give it a 5/10.
By contrast Ragnarock I’d give a 9/10

Agree that Ragnarok delivers well.

If I have nothing to watch, will check it out. You give it 5/10, Scott leans towards a 7.5/10, I'll meet it in the middle and assume a likely 6.25/10. Won't bring out the popcorn, but will watch it to kill some time.
