Possible sign of Ragnarok?

I saw a thread over in Religion about the Hottest Religion Blog being about Norse Mythology

Thread: http://www.democraticunderground.com/121816288

It is about http://www.norsemyth.org/ which I must admit, I hadn't visited in a while. So as I was looking at the stuff I hadn't seen, I came across this image and have to wonder, is it a sign of Ragnarok?




Spider-Thor-Man?


What have they done?


I think I hear the horns in Jötunheimr calling the Jötun to prepare for war...or is it the dinner bell?

It's the dinner bell, thank the gods...


I hope people enjoy the Norse Mythology Blog I linked above.

He wouldn't need to actually use the hammer, the Frost Giants would laugh themselves to death.

This six-episode Netflix commission is the balmiest show on this list: It was filmed amid the magnificent scenery of Odda, which is practically the tropics where Norway is concerned. It’s also, surprisingly, the only one with an overt environmental theme. The villains of the piece run the town’s paper mill, contributing to the climate change that’s shrinking the local glacier (and in the process exposing old secrets fundamental to the plot).

And then there’s the biggest difference, which may help to explain Netflix’s interest: It’s a Scandinavian spin on a teenage superhero story, with a hunky but awkward high schooler (David Stakston) moving to his mom’s hometown and suddenly discovering he can throw a hammer for very long distances. This puts him on the radar of the town’s alpha family, an unusually polished and attractive bunch who are not, we soon find out, strictly human. That’s where the title “Ragnarok” — in Norse mythology, the apocalyptic final battle of the gods — comes in.

The 1st season is only 6 episodes. I didn't think I would like it, but it almost immediately captured my attention. Just the beauty of the Nordic landscape. It's in Norwegian with subtitles. Filmed in Odda Norway. By the end of the 6th episode, it really began to delve in to the whole Thor mythology.

I found your post from 2012 when I did a site search to see if anyone else had posted about the Ragnarok series.

Thanks for the recommendation. The ad looked neat, but sometimes those types of shows are just hit or miss.

My sister is the one with the Netflix account, so to be honest, I don't know anything about those kind of services.

I'll give my sis a ring to see what I need to do to log in to her account. If I'm ignored (not normally, she is a good little sister, except when she is on the warpath ) she's just downstairs, so I can also jump around some until she gets annoyed and calls me instead.

If I end up thinking about a show for a day or two after viewing...that is my validation...it is good! I'm ready for another 6 episodes! Netflix needs to know how we love this.
