| Topic | Why is Nordic mythology so popular? |

They also routinely fought, fucked, and feasted with humans, so that helps. ChromaticAngel posted... Ironically, his treatment of Loki and his children in the name of stopping Ragnarok is probably what ended up causing it. Yeah, I always found that ironic too. Most of the creatures that end up destroying the universe were only against him because he was a total dick to them for being monsters in the first place (even though his one most popular trait was that he recruited the most badass warriors regardless of where they were from). For example, Fenris, who was actually really friendly and was something of a friend to Tyr, only turned on Odin after the gods tricked him and chained him up on Odin's orders because Odin saw it prophecized. I guess that is the sort of stuff that people like about the myths. They are wonderfully clever. ... Copied to Clipboard! |
