Yeah, I would like to see Hod and Baldr. This is could be a nice scene. I mean, Hod tecnically killed his own brother Baldr because of Loki's manipulations, right? If I remember correctly.

''And almost every god in the series incredibly flat and Rick seemed more focused on them all being DELIGHTFULLY QUIRKY! rather than a balance like the Greeks''

There are many times I didn't like the portray of Greek Gods. I didn't like Hera, Aphrodite and Demeter's portay for example. Hera was portrayed as, sorry, straight-up b****. Every demigod in the pjo universe seems to hate her, even If she tries to help them. (her technics can be questionable.) All gods and goddesses are mostly complex. And Hera is one of the complex goddesses in the mythology. Hera's actions are not completely justified, but also she isn't completely wrong. And, Riordan's way of portray her like that...well, I didn't like it much.

Aphrodite is portrayed as completely shallow, vain and selfish. Isn't love needs to be complex and deep? But, when we look at Aphrodite's myths...well, she isn't so much far from being shallow and vain, I guess.

But, you gotta admit, Demeter's portray was ridiculous. She is like a comic relief. But she needs to be portray as powerful being rather than giving speeches about eating cereals.

There are other gods and goddesses that I didn't like their portrays, but I get your point about Norse Gods, I guess.
