User blog comment:IceFireWarden0/Asgard- Expectations For Rick's Norse Mythology Series/@comment-3270158-20131109171519

I am very, very curious about this one! But I am probably most curious about who is going to be the ultimate villain. There are many possibilities, so let me consider some possibilities.

Loki would be a good image for a villain for sure, but I think that would ruin the story a bit. I mean, Loki has been used as a villain for so many times now, that its just getting boring seeing him as the villain all the time. He could really be the Hades or the Set of the Norse series, he really would fit into this role. So I think that it is very unlikely that he will be the main villain.

The Midgard Serpent would be a huge possibility indeed. But I think that it won't happen, just because it would be too Apophis like. I mean, really, do we want a second serpent to be the main villain? But she can be a side villain. Also, bear in mind that she is Loki's daughter.

Fenris could be considered as well, but I think that it won't happen, just because he is a far too small role for the main villain. I mean, sure, he is the one who kills Odin during Ragnarok. But he is bound to a chain the whole time. I really don't think that this is going to happen. Also, he is Loki's son.

Hel is actually a huge possibility. She has the right motif, she has the right realm, she has the right appearance and she has the right powers. She was banned to the underworld where she built up her own realm and ruled over it. She could indeed try to cause Ragnarok. But, I actually doubt that. Also, she is Loki's daughter.

Nidhoggr could be considered as well, since he's a pretty evil creature as well. But he is at Yggdrasil all the time, nagging at it. Well, he could bite off one of the roots, which would cause massive destruction. But I don't think that this will happen either.

Surtur is in my opinion one of the best images for the villain. He rules over a realm of fire, and it is said, that he will set the world on fire during Ragnarok. He would be perfect as a main villain.

Another being I really could imagine as a villain would be Ymir. Ymir is the first being in the universe according to the mythology, and he was defeated by the gods earlier on. Now, what if he would be somehow resurrected, and would try to cause Ragnarok, just like Kronos did when he was resurrected. I think that Ymir would be very fitting for the role of the villain.

So, who do you think would be the best choice for the main villain?
