Twilight of the Gods

This was a blind watch for me and I enjoyed it a lot. I feel like a lot of people are going to have a problem with seeing Thor as anything but a hero.. because of the MCU portrayal but I'm okay with seeing another side and things and a story told in a different way with a different version of the character.

I enjoyed the pilot, so I'm going to see how it develops. Knew absolutely nothing going in, so the sexiness and the gore did catch me off guard. But then I have to remember it's Zack Snyder were talking about. Will continue to watch. I hope it continues to impress me , overall visually pleasing.

Not since Game of Thrones have I been faced with so many *cough* flaccid, erect or droopy penises up front. Sex scenes good (both male, female and threesomes) but not yet to the unrivaled sex scene from Castlevania with Alucard.

Animation is good but feels like you're playing a game sometimes.

Plot is good and true to all the different norse mythology stories about Thor (who is a blundering idiot) and Loki who has fathered many children.

They've made Freja .. mmm .. less Norse looking but I can live with that.

Violence and gore was 10/10 so I'm on board with another season.

The only reason I took a star off was the spitting (so much spitting) and in your face penises and triangles of muff :))

Can't wait for season 2.

It is a good take on the old Norse legends. The writer has done the homework and found a way to make it their own. It's fun to see them bring in concepts like holmgång.

The voice acting is good. The animation is a bit lackluster for this day and age, but it works well with its simplicity.

The show struggles at the border of edgy and cringe, often stumbling into the latter. This could have been a lot better if someone had reeled in whatever writer came up with stuff that sounds like it was written by a struggling teenager. I can't imagine that that it was easy to read by the voice actors.

If you like sword and sorcery stuff and old myths, do watch this, but bring your "skämskudde" (Don't know what it's called in English, but it's Swedish for a pillow you keep at your couch to hide your head in when a show is so uncomfortable you want to sink into the ground)

I said it with rebel moon, i say it again : Zach Snyder is great film maker, but not a good writer. Its always so generic. You see coming the cliche line a mile away. Dialogs are stale. Characters are the same version of an old one in different setup.

Its rebel moon all over again : A bunch of warriors take on an almighty force on a typical vengeance quest. The art style is great, combats are great, the production value is high... but they it all lack the spark to make it good.

Blue eye samurai did it. A vengeance tale done right. Provocative, not for the sake of it, but to tell something meaningful trough real imagery, sometime crude. It was necessary. A sex scene was a pivotal moment in this character development.

Here, there is blood and sex just to add shock value and say : this show is gore, see? It lack the maturity to justify it.

Mr Snyder need to stick to direction, and let the writers do their things.

Alright, so Twilight of the Gods is Zack Snyder doing his thing, but animated-and it's absolutely fire. It's all Norse mythology, with massive battles, top-tier visuals, and of course, Snyder's classic slow-mo. If you've played God of War, this is giving that vibe, but way, way more intense and over the top.

The gods are not even the good guys, which honestly makes it hell of alot better. They're brutal, kinda savage, and the whole thing is dark but keeps you glued. Gore and violence and at the top of everything but the story is not shy of mixing sexual themes whatsoever.

The animation is absolutely class and it really stands out for it's comic inspired look. It somewhat carries the essence of other Zack Snyder Projects such as 300 and Man Of Steel.

The characters are deeply compelling and I was pretty emotionally invested in them. The story keeps you hooked with character arcs and their relationships.

This series is an absolute must watch!
