I wish that.. People would start reckoning with maybe the norse Gods in the myths are absolute pricks, Loki was right and vilified for their queerness/that was what was supposed to show they're worthless and evil and we can't keep trying to adapt the myths with the same uncritical sympathies with the gods if we want to do meaningful commentary. Also maybe just maybe we could stop making these inhuman rich ppl with lizard eyes who are literally conspiring and in control of the world? That would be nice. Just. Something I'd watch out for when adapting myths commonly claimed by literal nazis.

#Ragnarok Netflix #like it's a fun show i just #can we get a retelling that actually is critical of the sources materials? #i can excuse it with Magnus Chase because it's supposed to teach about the myths and the author clearly took care not to appeal to Nazis #but idk this show is incredibly white. i get the point they were trying to make with the rich ppl but ooof i think they shot a bit past it #and like idk i just want an adaption that addresses that the gods are dicks??? #i feel like ppl are more willing to do that with Greek mythology than norse
