by book three she got better...

Anything remotely SJW is shit

no no hey, this is a guy who knows his real audience is kids growing up and he wanted to do some myth shit that made sense in lore and added at least one bit of LGBT to the trilogy,a nd it was pretty okay after the initial poor writing.

The harbinger of sentient artificial intelligence is the harbinger of the ant-christ. To strip humanity of its soul and leave it a husk to travel throughout time and space as a shadow of itself for all eternity.

It sounded like he'd read on trans people and hadn't actually talked to any?

you know what I mean?

https://img00.deviantart.net/8830/i/2016/338/2/2/magnus_chase_cast_by_potatoocat-daqkedr.jpg here's a shit drawing of the core cast of the nordic trilogy

a light elf who was born deaf, and as such was ostrasized from his entire realm
A dwarf who wants to make clothing instead of weaponry
Shape-shifting "what's a fucking gender" loki kid
*muslim valkyrie*
and our protagonist, the son of frey, god of summer.

this is the only art I could find of all of them

<:think_woke:378717098681171988>

the official fanart looks loads better

yeah the valkyrie thing was a weird take

And then some orcs come and rape then all?

Muslim Valkyrie top kek

pfff

I know right nic

The explanation was something akin to the swords of the holy cross from The Dresden Files

odin saw Samirah, a daughter of loki (long story) as a potenial valkyrie

The pinnacle of human evolution

she was like "But... Allah's the only god?" And Odin's like "Look, nobody in our pantheon is even certain the abramic god is a thing. I'm offering you a noble job to help people, want in?"

and she shrugs and says okay

That's woke as fuck lmao

but ultimately wants to retire from being a valkyrie at some point

yea I know

the percy jackson books, the original ones, do the same thing

when percy meets Diyonisus.
"you're saying God's real?"
"Don't get metaphysical, Peter."
"Percy."
"Whatever."

the author wants to stay as far as he can from bringing modern popular religions in, if possible

so the most you get is people who believe in the abramic gods, but such a being is by nature so fucking abstract that he can get away with ther ebeing no confirmation

Makes sense

the hijab doubles as a fucking invisibility cloak

Nazi furries exist

And they need rights

I wish they all doubled as invisibility cloaks

#NaziFurriesMatter

But yeah liket

the original 5 percy books are by far the best though

part of the reason you see diverse characters in more of his later series is because at some point someone looked to him and said something akin to

you realize that the only black character with a name in your original series gets blown up right
