![]() ![]() When Fjor eventually returns home, he tells the rest of his family that he’s picking up some things and leaving, ominously holding the family axe to make his point (that big open staircase really makes a dramatic exit look ridiculous). To summarize, then: Magne is becoming invulnerable and has at least a partial control of lightning, the giants need the old weapons - which they all apparently have - to kill him, and there are numerous gods hidden in and around Edda, though their identities need to be kept secret to protect them from the giants’ retribution. Vidar expresses similar concerns to his family, sans Fjor, who he thinks is off killing Gry, which of course he isn’t. ![]() Luckily things get weird rather quickly in Ragnarok season 2, episode 1, with Magne stepping into a weird spectral pocket dimension to be lectured about his need for a weapon and allies in the coming war. Vidar does promise to kill Magne by the next new moon, though, which you have to hope is sooner rather than later given how slow the first season was. For selfish reasons, I do like the idea of a goddess whose beauty can enchant anyone, though, so there’s that to look forward to.įor what it’s worth, this season opens with the climactic confrontation that ended the previous one, with Magne and Vidar both unconscious after the lightning storm, though neither seems particularly troubled by the ordeal. We’re in Season 2, by the way, but Ragnarok clearly hasn’t grown tired of these hammy quasi-ominous openings. Freya, according to the obligatory opening expository text in “Brothers in Arms”, is the most important goddess in Norse mythology, the goddess of love, fertility, and devotion, but also associated with magic, war, and wealth, which is a pretty broad range of responsibilities when you think about it.
