And Thor is now back to being Thor.
Also I think Tiamat might know something but she's still miffed about helping elves...
Aye I think a shocking amount of time is going to pass during this conversation with Thor.
Also pretty much what dude said. Thor trying to smash heads and what have you.
And now, the ruthless pragmatic question: now that the Dark One has ascended, does he stay ascended? Do the other three quiddities have an infinite amount of time to make nice with him? I mean, yeah, letting this incarnation of reality go the way of the sapient movie snacks would suck for all of its current denizens, but do the pantheons have that option from a long-game standpoint? Or is the fact that the Dark One would have to similarly "cash out" his followers a point Durkon can use to make the bargain?

Loki is turning into Tom Hiddleston ;-P
Tiamat is likely lying to further some scheme but maybe not her own. Maybe unknowingly the 3 Fiends' scheme
Come to think of it, the scope of their scheme fits with what we learned about the many worlds created and ended. Do they intend to usurp the 4 colors of the Snarl, or even the 5 existing colors and become the new masters of reality even above the gods ?
Are they the ones that told the Dark One about the Snarl ?
Maybe Redcloak will do the heroic thing in the end and gift the cloak to a worthier goblinoid who is not Xykon's lapdog
And I like how the greatest mortal spells are but a drop compared to the power of the gods :-)

All I know is Loki is Tom Hiddleston, Thor is clearly Chris Hemsworth, and and the 3 Fiends are clearly corporate lobbyists.

Disagree. The three fiends are Kevin Feige, Louis D'Esposito, and Bob Iger.
Lord Fyre,
I dunno. I like Kevin. I think he's more Doctor Doom than fiend.
Bob Iger is definitely a fiend though...

Love it!
I've been whining about blonde Thor for years!

All I'm saying is if you want to blame Marvel for keeping a pagan religion from going under, then that's fine with me! :p :)
Also I still like the dig. :P

It is weird that Marvels hercules/heracles is way more accurate then there Thor.

[tangent] Although it does bug me that he uses the Roman spelling of Hercules, instead of the Greek Herakles, and is associated with Greek-named gods like Zeus and Hera, etc. and not the Roman versions, Jupiter and Juno.
Then again, Marvel's also got Pluto, instead of Hades, so it's just all flibbertigibbity up in there. [/tangent]

Yeah that's true. I feel like some movie, tv show or something from awhile back caused that. Hercules started always being the used name for him whether Greek or roman. yet at the same time the roman names for the gods hardly ever get used in media. I'm pretty sure the one with Keven Sorbo (however you spell that) had the greek names too.

All I know is Marvel Comics Hercules is way more interesting than DC Comics one...

Poor Odin. At least this version is less of a dick...

I don't know...
Something about a bunch of dumb brutes hacking away at each other must be rather appealing to the Allfather...
I've always seen him as a God of War first before anything else. Odin was kinda OP let's be honest though...
Edit: Come to think of it, were we introduced to Frigg here? If I remember it right she's the more traditionally mystical one.
Poor Odin. At least this version is less of a dick...
But is the current one a dick only because we think he is?
The barbarians rejecting magic altogether strikes me as a dig at 1st edition Unearthed Arcana.
I thought it was an implication that our world is/was the world before the OotS world.
And if so, I wonder if it has anything to do with the planet that Blackwing saw inside the Snarl's rift.

I think there was a joke filler script about Rich being sick and delirious, and mentioning a bunch of awful plot twists and Xykon visiting our Earth.
So probably not. :P

Odin is actually pretty strange. He is indeed the leader of a Pantheon where Magic is seen as a woman thing and not a warrior thing but he is also a god of magic and sorcery. IIRC he gave his eye to Mimir and hung himself on Yggdrasil to get mystical knowledge and power

I still feel that Odin's weird words give cryptic clues that hint at the Snarl and the story. I wonder if Odin getting damaged because of clashing beliefs in the previous word is what gave birth to the purple quiddity
Nice to see the Lawful part of Durkon relieved that this was not all random and I also prefer his spirit uncrushed
I suppose so but when it comes to warfare his idea of fun is making mortals fight and determining the path of battle.
I figured warfare meant something different to him than the other gods.

No I'm pretty sure the current comic book Odin is still a dick.

Not sure that's accurate Ebon Corvid.

From what I recall Odin is basically a leftover of an older, shamanistic tradition, a remnant of an element that was otherwise mostly gone from Scandinavian culture.
While he was still regarded father of gods and head deity, he was slowly on his way out, in a few centuries wouldn't be chief deity anymore if Scandinavians didn't convert to Christianity.

Scandinavians did loot Christianity however.

Don't apologize. They needed some looting.
Yeah you're right.
A little looting never hurt anyone.
