User blog comment:IceFireWarden0/Asgard- Expectations For Rick's Norse Mythology Series/@comment-24466242-20140125170433

I'm both looking forward too and fearing an eventual series with the norse gods. I'm looking forward to it because I really love all Rick Riordans books. But I'm fearing it, because the Norse gods are kind of… well, asatru is (contrary to the egyptian and the greek mythologies) recognized as a real religion, hey, some of my friends believe in it. And I must say I prefer the norse mythology over christianity anytime (no offense). And they are kind of apart of my culture, and my history, and I am afraid that he maybe aren't going to portray them the right way. I hope he will though. But if you e.g. look at the movie Thor, it's pure crap. Yes it's a good movie, a great movie, but it isn't the most (or at all) correct. Loki isn't Thors brother, but Odin's blood brother (they have shared blood). Sif and Thor are happily married. Thor isn't a superhero (I'm actually a little unsure if he's actually a good person), he isn't a strategist, but a let's-attack-them-and-kill-as-many-as-possible kind of person. He's a warrior, not a leader. He's not the most intelligent person, he prefers action to thinking any time. And he is NOT BLOND!

Sorry, it's something that has bothered me for a loooong time. Thor is, as I said, a great movie, but it doesn't have anything with norse mythology to do. SO stop comparing it!

And Loki isn't actually a bad guy, he just don't know when to stop. Another thing I'm nervous about… Loki isn't a bad guy, like kronos or aphophis. I hope Rick Riordan realize that...

But he's probably going to do a great job with it, and anyway, I'm going to survive… somehow:D
