Twilight Of The Gods animated series.
This week Netflix premieres this promising looking animated Norse Mythology inspired show, Twilight Of The Gods. From creator/director Jay Oliva & co-director Zack Snyder, with the voice talent of Sylvia Hoeks (replicant fatale Luv in Blade Runner 2049), there's an intense revenge on the Gods story in the offing.
Much like Sony's God Of War games, or Brin's The Life Eaters, the narrative flips the Norse Gods into the role of antagonists. While the Gods in the Norse Lore aren't beholden to the post-Conversion ideas of "good", the needle within entertainment sometime swings quite past a justifiable/explicable grey in turning them into straight-out villains that they certainly aren't, but I love both the aforementioned properties, and given how stirring the above preview looks I want to totally give this new NorsePlay a watch.

Guillermo Maytorena IV knew there was something special in the Norse Lore when he picked up a copy of the d'Aulaires' Norse Gods and Giants at age seven. Since then he's been fascinated by the truthful potency of Norse Mythology, passionately read & studied, embraced Ásatrú, launched the Map of Midgard project, and spearheaded the neologism/brand NorsePlay.
