Ragnarok2020

A novel approach to the usual Norse legend story, and should be fun to watch.

Interesting retelling of old myths and legends applied to the modern world or is it? The ending definitely is geared to it isn't. With also a meta commentary on old world belief being discarded with the Thor comics in dustbin. The obvious meta level commentary reason why the comics were not passed on or donated. However one little thing that this all indeed did happened and a shift reality indeed did occur from changing from the old ways to new. He wasn't wearing glasses at the end (or maybe he just wore contacts)?

The show keeps things moving, so it never gets too bogged down in teen angst or ponderous speechifying. But by the penultimate episode, viewers will be wishing Ragnarok would hurry up and resolve its central plot, or at least give a better reason to come back for more. Even at a mere six episodes (five of which were available for review), it feels like a two-hour YA movie expanded past its breaking point.
