Crepúsculo dos Deuses

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.

We enter a take on Norse mythology that is visually inspired by comicbook art, alluding to Zack Snyder's adaptation of Watchmen. There is no pretense: this is an adult animated series, with sexuality and gore being handed together in the same package. The animation, by Stone Quarry and Xilam, is truly a feast for the eyes.

This is yet another series where the Aesir are portrayed as evil, which is amusing given its release after the God of War Norse Cycle and Black Myth Wukong. I suppose this could be seen as a "goðlauss " type of story, but at least there is enough nuance to this.

Overall a strong recommendation.

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!

I knew going in that this was going to be pretty good so I figured I'd watch a couple of episodes before bed. Next thing I know, it's 3am and I'm finally at the end. I did NOT expect it to be as good as it was, obviously!

The animation is awesome and suits the tone of the story perfectly; it has blood and gore and violence and sex and gore and more gore! What more can you ask for?

Oh yeah, you can ask for a good cast. Well...that's not this cast. This cast is INCREDIBLE. Sylvia Hoeks does a fantastic job as Sylvia, our main lead, as does Stuart Martin as Leif - Sylvia's lover and almost-husband but for the interruption of Pilou Asbæk's Thor (he does an awesome job as a slightly-unhinged Lord of Storms here). Joining them on Sigrid's quest for vengeance over the murders of her entire family are Birgitte Hjort Sørensen as Hervor - Sigrid's shield-sister, the iconic Rahul Kohli as Leif's thrall Egill, the goddess that is Jamie Clayton as The Seid-Kona - a witch-woman, and Peter Stormare as Ulfr - The Seid-Kona's wolf-hide-dressed pet (for lack of a better word). They're soon joined by Andvari (Kristofer Hivju) - a dwarf smith - and eventually by Thyra (Thea Sofie Loch Næss) - a human archer loyal to the Vanir. All this aided by Loki (Paterson Joseph) for his own ends, of course. Then there's the supporting cast, including the likes of John Noble, Corey Stoll, Lauren Cohan, Tove Lo, Jessica Henwick, and Jamie Chung...

The story itself is great, too. Wedding Interruptus + Family Murdered = vengeance quest with a slight Ragnarok feel due to the attempted deicide of Thor, and they do a decent job of making us care about these characters in the relatively limited time they have, what with having all the violence and gore and sex sprinkled throughout.

I REALLY hope we get a second season of this, now!

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.
