  • Hello, and welcome to another video! Everyone loves PJO and the KC, but people seem to have issues with HoO starting from HoH and basially all of ToA and MC. Since we've already looked at terrible reviews of the Trials of Apollo, let's turn our focus to the very tragic reviews left by parents about the Magnus Chase books. Strap in, this is a wild ride. You might want to have a pillow near by so you can scream into it in frustration.
    I hope you enjoy!

    One of the great things about Rick‘s books has and always will be the fact that the heroes are minorities. Sure in Percy Jackson and the Olympians they were mostly all white and straight but the point was that the demigods were dyslexic and had adhd. That was their representation. Then the Kane‘s added Carter as a protagonist and his skin colour becomes a topic quite often. Heroes of Olympus adds Canadian/Chinese, Latino/Latina, Cherokee characters etc. It just gets better really. Magnus added Gender Fluidity, a deaf Elf and a Muslim girl. Rick has always been about the minorities being heroes and this never changed and I sure hope it never will

    "The Norse had nothing to do with Islam" Yeah and they probably didnt have anything to do with television but we still have Thor out here talking about watching his favorite shows using his hammer. Because it's about mixing the mythology with modern day America. And modern day America includes a portion of the population being Muslim. So why is "Thor watches Breaking Bad" fine and dandy with them but "Some people happen to be Muslim" is dragging in something unrelated

      Actually, I was surprised to learn that a real Muslim named Ahmad ibn Fadlan (the same as Samira’s last name) actually did travel north and hang out with the Rus (aka, a Nordic people), and we know this because he wrote it all down. It’s pretty interesting, although he doesn’t seem to have been all that impressed with their hygiene.

Making Alex gender fluid was a good detail considering Loki was in the original Norse mythology. There is so much more that simply can not be put into words. This book series was my second favorite (the original was my absolute favorite).

    I'll admit, Im not on the left, but who the fuck cares about Alex being Genderfluid? Seriously? I was a kid when I read these books, I didn't even know that genderfluid was a real thing. I just thought it meant that they changed sex literally, (which is what Alex and Loki literally do) but now I know genderfluid people do exist, they just change gender, not sex. Honestly, I could not care less, Alex is my favourite character in the entire series, and is one of the best written GF characters in fiction. And having read the comments on this video, Alex has helped a ton of people accept themselves! The hate for Alex is unjust and blatantly trannsphobic in this regard.
    The hate for Sam is also ridiculous. Shes an amazing character, I don't have as much to say about this as there is nothing to say. There is nothing wrong with muslims. They're among the three biggest religions in the world. 99% of the muslims I have met are good characters.
    Homophobia is utterly stupid and I hate homophobes. Nothing more to say.
    Overall, people get angry at trans people because they think they could be grapists, perverts, pdf files. People have no right to be mad at Alex. They have been written as a good character, and thats where you know the people hating on them are actually just transphobic, because they cannot except ANY trans characters. Thats where they are blatantly bad people. Christians get mad at muslims when reading a fucking NORSE MYTHOLOGY BOOK. Homophobia of ONE SCENE. Thats ridiculous. Yeah, the bad reviews on this book are mainly just cunts being horrible people.

    I'm white, agnostic, straight, cis, male, Scottish and autistic, so I often feel under-represented in the last two stated aspects of my identity. So, when I see other under-represented groups getting positive representation, I usually think to myself "oh... good for them!" So, with all the positive representation of under-represented groups in Magnus Chase, I was thinking to myself "oh... good for them!"

    Considering what and who she is, she should know better what kind of Being Allah is, she should have some insight that religious authorities don't have, she should have more insight than the ppl that wrote the Quran or the bible or whatever abrahamic religious book..
