By the Spear of Odin/Wotan/Woden/Veratyr and lots of others! Welcome, most valorous warriors to this, the Twilight Of The Series “Give Me One More Chance.” Today you draw your blades with us as we face the trial of the final movie of our lord Thor/Thunor/Donar/Irving (that last one is a rare translation) and if we fall on the field of cinema, we shall all die gloriously! Quaff some mead (which means spill at least as much as you drink; them’s the rules), bite the edge of your shields (they’re coated in chocolate for mid-battle snacking), and follow us to death most magnificent! They will write sagas about your deeds this day! The scribes of social media shall post of your valorous valor! Shed your blood alongside us, as we determine if “Irving: Love and Thunder” (still a better title, in my opinion) straddles the line between the Silly and the Not-Silly or if it plunges all Ninny-Nonny into the abyss. Gird your loins! Well done, that’s some fine girding there, all of you! Now as I mount my eight-legged pony Bumpnir, follow! Follow! To doom and renown! AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHhhhhhhaaa . . . aaah? . . . um . . . . hello? Anybody following? Glory? Renown? Doom? . . . huh . . . well . . . guess it’s just us three then . . . Bumpnir, where the hell are you going? Fine. Just you and me, Mike . . . Mike? . . . Mike? . . . . Dang it . . . Fine, no death, no glory, just us talking. Great. Lot of sagas gonna be written about that . . .
Poll question: what’s your favorite mythologically-based movie? Any mythology counts.
