Netflix's Ragnarok

[Agent Z]

No one has taken up the fight against the Giants since Ragnarok - until now. A hero will rise, January 31.

In a Norwegian town poisoned by pollution and rattled by melting glaciers, the End Times feel all too real. It’ll take a legend to battle an old evil.

Aesir in Euro-High School is a new one.

Look just do a straight no-frills adaptation of the Poetic Edda, I am talking Voluspa to Lokasenna and everything in-between. Get Gaiman to do it.

I wonder how many people are going to accident watch this thinking it is Marvel movie.

Meh, I'm a bit tired of Gaiman, get someone with a new voice.

Not many people. Ragnarok is a mythology in Norse that many people already knew about.

It reminds me of the first Percy Jackson movie. Norse and Greek mythology stories have always struggled to be told in a modern day setting, I will have to see the actual episode to make a decision, but so far, it is getting the tone right of Ragnarök.

Apparently the humor is lost on you Thor Ragnarok is off Netflix and this is going to be there instead on Netflix. Apparently I have to explain that Asylum films made a living on naming stuff close to popular movies Transmorphers, Atlantic Rim, 2012 Ice age,Alien origin,Avengers Grimm,etc. So yeah the same exact thing is going to happen with some people on Netflix.

Anyway as far as the show. Soemthing has to be spectacular with tons of acclaim to get me to watch a foreign movie other then Kung Fu flicks. This looks like Twilight except a smaller budget and the Aesir instead of Vampires. And ill have to read subtitles the entire thing. Probaly gonna skip this unless i start hearing people rave about it. Which looking at the trailer I doubt it but who knows.

So you don't think that within the first 30 seconds they're going to realize they are not watching a Marvel movie? No Marvel logo, etc. and everyone's speaking Norwegian and it has subtitles....I can't imagine that anyone will be 'fooled' for long.

It looked decent but I'm not really interested in YA stuff anymore.

Glad you got the YA Percy Jackson vibe. I see were you are coming from, the YA stuff was a thing 10 years ago. the show is going to have a strong adult audience to last more than one season.
