I know that Riordan is kind of an... anti-polytheist but, seriously. I do not get the thing about making all gods as actual and complete utter dumbs. All of them really lost their identity and their actual selves. All the Norse gods were lacking the gravitas that made them admirable and formidable in the myths. And I do not see the point of this. I can understand that the series written for children, but again, i do not see the point of making fun of them and turning them into so damn one-dimensional characters as hell. It's just so ridiculous and lazy writting.

And, I do not get the fact that...Isn't it, you know, there are people who worship the Norse Gods are exist? So, when you're portraying Norse Gods like that and you're making fun of them, isn't this offensive thing to do, when you consider there are people who worships them? so isn't it thrusting towards these people? I do really find this ridiculous now. And knowing that Riordan actually tries to portray another religion such as Islam with a positive point of view, and using this political mouthpieces as 'lecture' people about discrimination about Muslims and Islam, but, at the same time Riordan makes fun of  the Norse Gods, the gods's who parts of someone elses's religion, and also, Riordan finds that people who worships the Norse or Greek gods as ridiculous. It's just...Mind Blown, again.
