- Опубліковано 12 чер 2024
- I review, breakdown and explain Ragnarok Season 3 Netflix. I discuss the story which was focussed on Magne as Thor as he grew more confident with his powers. I react to the other characters such as Saxa, Fjor, Laurits and Ran along with the other God's and Giants. I compare the show to the original Norse Mythology Lore and explain the ending for Thor. I also give my theories and predictions on a potential season 4 and if the show will ever come back.

What did you think of Ragnarok Season 3? Comment your thoughts below!
Tbh It was average.
not the best
I'm glad the Magne was able to drop his fantasy world and accept Isolde's death, but the ending wasn't the best and it was kind of disappointing because why build up to this ultimate battle of Ragnarok just to turn it into a fantasy, I mean if this was supposed to be the main goal of the show, they could've hinted in first or second season that all these events maybe were real or not...
I slowly started noticing the plot twist at the end of ep6, when Magne took out the box full of comic books and hammer....
I really expected more from the show, anyway this was my opinion
😂
Terrible.
I hated that ending. What a horrible way to end such a good show. Feel like everything built up to nothing.
They made it unrewatchable. It’s not like Shutter island or fight club where the ending is actually shocking and betters the story, this just ruins it
@@Box-yg8qm exactly bro
Episode 5 is my head canon ending, fuck episode 6 and the writer
Good show? This show was ass since the beginning xD
@@Box-yg8qmyes, when the narrator discover that he's tyler, the story still continues a bit to make up a conclusion and still giving the audience time to believe that tyler wasn't real, now in freaking Ragnarok, they just let us know that it all wasn't real in the end and that's it... end of story, really???? 🤨 wtf, and probably living us with plotholes
I think it did happen, all of it. However they weren't gods, they were possessed by the gods and giants spirits. Deaths still happened, etc. I think when they chose peace over fighting, the spirits left them. Thor was the last to leave since he wanted war more than any of them. His mind flashed between the war and the realty and when Magne fell to the ground, it was Thor finally leaving him.
I like that theory much better!
How could it not happen, what about all the things that happened when Magne was not around? For instance Ran & the therapist, Magne was not around & she talked about having Saxa as a slave, & Magne threatening the family with Mjolnir
My exact thoughts to the endings. Refuse to believe the real one
Cope. It was all bullcrap in his head. And the ending creates way more questions than closure
If we just never watched the last episode... That would be best
I think the promise and charm of what the show started with just got killed by the ending just felt like we warmed up for nothing
So true I just finished watching the show with my brother and we both said that what if when magna\thor got hit by the snow plow in season 1 he was in a coma a dreamed the hole future he had and when he died in his imagination he died in the coma
@@Evazk411bro made a pokemon theory💀💀💀
@@Evazk411lol that actually sounds like it could be it
This is so damn true . Such a letdown 😢
Agreed, the whole show built up to Ragnarok only for them to lead up to nothing lol
I dont understand how Saxa said that she couldn't even pick the hammer up, and then everyone in town seemed to be carrying about.
YEAH!!! I remember thinking that too, when he “indulged” the giant for the first time
Damn lazy writing
exactly lol
She could have been lying and actually liked Magne enough to not even try. It is just another problem in a LOT of problems.
Yeah! I was like hold on that hammer never budged for anyone except magne then Jormungandr coughs it up and Lauritz can magically lift it?
My favourite show on Netflix just got entirely ruined by this ending
Oh no! It definitely felt like it was going to be a controversial ending
Exactly idk what they were thinking!
Thats Netflix for you they either cancel your favorite shows or give them garbage endings
@@ohhimark96 I thought they would have had enough of ruining TV shows after the Witcher season 3 but I guess not 😂
Feel the same way 😢
I was looking forward to see the power of Thor, the God of Thunder but felt as if I was scammed in the last episode :D Why can't they just keep the story as it is?
Same show was ruined
On god bro no lighting or anything they should’ve made season 2 the final season and stop production if i knew this bs was going to be the final season
Or atleast actually made the battle real and lokis bf getting shot was also real, but instead they decided to ruin it...
Honestly, the ending is confusing. I just figured that everything that was happening was figuratively speaking in Magne's mind. This season felt rushed in a sense since season 2 came out in 2021 and they kept saying another season was happening but it was being delayed. I don't know I just feel like the last season doesn't match with the energies of the first two seasons which leaves viewers' minds scattered and feeling disappointed.
We all feel the same way. Everything was rushed and there wasn’t much character development as the first two seasons. Two new gods are reinstated and they’re total goofballs, Turid marries Erik and it didn’t feel natural at all. Magne doesn’t throw the hammer at ANYONE, he just hits a rock and throws it in the ocean. We never get to see the true power of Mjolnir EVER. He doesn’t even use his lightning abilities a single time. It’s safe to say the writers and producers were rushed because this is a horrible ending. It they couldn’t or wouldn’t spend so much money on CGI for an insane final battle then why make us wait an entire year for an anticlimactic ending? This could’ve been made in a few months.
Considering everything that happened from Magne getting hit by a truck ( which the doctors commented on, to him killing Vidar etc and the fact that there were parts where he wasnt even present for, i find it pretty hard to believe that it all happened in his head. None of it makes sense.
It’s just the final battle I think… since they made a lasting peace, Magne/Thor was restless and imagined at the end. But the confusing part is Jutul résidence change after he threw away his comics…
@@GhostPanther_X The ending is just confusing
@@raptormage2209 Totally 😫
Literally what I was thinking. So many scenes that would make zero sense of it was all in his head. Trash season and a trashier finale. What a dissapoinemnt
@@nabilsmedia3079I think some parts of the season were good like Magne getting dominatedby the hammer and showcasing his flaws and the big world serpent, But yeah for the most part this season is subpar to The rest and the ending makes no sense also it implies that Magne is a scrizophrenic murderer who killed Vidar also i think there was a scene where a girl saw pictures of the Joton that were 100s of years old, The giants also make comments about being thousands of years old alot,people saw the tape worm eat a duck, Laurits and other characters interacted with the world snake, Tyr' reîncarnation got his arm cut off by the giants,plot hole after plot hole.
I am sad to say this, but I was very disappointed. They spent 2 seasons building up this “final battle”, and then it turns out to not be a final battle at all?! I literally can’t describe how anticlimactic that was. I mean if there weren’t gonna be a battle at all, why even have any gods? Why even give Magne and the others their powers when they didn’t even use them in an actual battle?! 😣 Also remember that Magne didn’t give himself his powers, they were given to him by someone else, and later he was told that whoever got his powers had to pay the highest price, which just adds to the fact that it is really strange if it was all going on in his own head. 🤔
I don’t think you really understand the ending, nothing ever happened. It was all in his head, there was no gods, no powers.
That’s exactly the problem, if everything happened in his head everything was basically pointless, plus a lot of the things that happened doesn’t make sense then because quite a few scenes weren’t even shown from Magne’s perspective. So it’s a very weird way to tell a story that takes place in the main character’s head.
I agree so much, literally words out of my mouth
😂
@@nikitaljungdahljavurek6691If that’s the case then I don’t think that was the writers’ plan the whole time. As someone else has just said, so many crucial plot scenes throughout the 3 seasons have taken place without Magne’s presence/knowledge - it wouldn’t make sense for nothing to have ever happened. The hammer in the back of Vidar’s car at the end of episode 1? It seems like a rushed final season ending to me.
I have just put on an old episode from season one after finishing the third and Magne has just pushed Erik’s car across his driveway with complete ease which is acknowledged by Erik, there is no way there was no powers/gods all along.
I was never so disappointed unfortunately in a season like I was with this last season of ragnarök.
Game of thrones?
It was disappointing than Game of Thrones
Facts whack ending
@spi4717 At least you didn't have to watch 8 seasons, though, for it to end in such a way, though. GOT remains the GOAT for let downs.
@@spi4717 agree with topg, I mean got was... lets not talk about it. but damn, I really was looking forward to the 3rd season of ragnarök and then just.. meh.
I cannot believe how bad ending is that's why i was searching for ending explained
Same
Same here
same
Same
I really wanted to see Magne vs jörmungandr. I feel like 6 eps probably made everything compact
When Magne attempts the lawsuit against Jutul industries, he contacts many former employees connected to them, and even an attorney who agrees with him that he has a case ready for court. Was all this also imagined? In that case, was the fact that all the people he contacted got sick while working at Jutul also in his head. And what about the fact that all of them decides against speaking out in court because they didn't dare to speak out against the Jutuls? Feels like a hollow ending as I see it
The fact that all the people he contacted got sick may have been magne hindering himself in his own head and the few people he contacted and met who actually was sick got it from somewhere else, again further strengthening his schizophrenia. And they probably don’t want to speak out against the jutuls because much of what magne thought was true, was just in his head. It might have been bad, but not evil like in magnes mind? Idk
@@semixs2981 which aspect about the sickness from the workers could be imagined by Magne? It might be the case that the jutuls never had anything to do with the pollution of the lake (after all, multiple people run the factory despite it being owned by the jutul family). However, this still takes away the drama between Magne and the jutuls without replacing that tension, and with that they remove the story from the series
No, too much happened between other characters when Magne was not around. How about the electrician being murdered? She really didn't show up for the lawyer, none of the sick workers did. I can see it as "Thor" dying was a sacrifice to bring them all back to normal, but he had to sacrifice himself and get bit for that to happen. That makes some sense, but it's still a terrible ending.
Imagine spending a total of 12 hours of your life watching all three seasons of this show and then being told all this was only taking place in the main character head. I am sorry that is a major insult to the audience and a horrible ending to what was going to be a decent show overall.
well put i feel betrayed. the writers can go f themselves. what a joke
don't watch game of thrones then lol
@@19Stifler91 Yeah no matter how bad the ending of Game of Thrones was at least the events actually happen. Unlike in this show where majority of the main plot was in the main character head.
Imagine waiting years...
You didn't notice that the "giants" house completely changed when he threw the comics away?
Yeah i did also notice that
@@emilogleander7419 it seems none of the reviewers noticed it.
How so?
I was gonna write this then you beat me to it 😅 It’s still all confusing because it can’t have all happened in his head. We need answers !!
FTW?!
I need to rewatch it now
Prime example of how the ending can fck up the whole show.
I believe that that final battle were just the gods inside them that died. There was peace so maybe that meant that they didnt need their powers anymore and could start a life on their own.
It's like all the magic disappeared..
I LOVED to see mythology brought back in the real world, almost like in a Percy Jackson story.
I loved the characters development and the whole concept behind this show.
The ending made disappear that feeling of supernatural beauty that hooked me to this show for three seasons.
Why couldn't they just continue??
Quick money
Now our only hope is Percy Jackson series actually. I hope they don't disappoint this way😭🖐️
@@day_bright_tea I wouldn't hold your Breath for Pjo They Couldn't even get Grover or Annabeth right it's not the actors it's Riordan Contradicting his own Fucking writing Quote You are judging her appropriateness for this role solely and exclusively on how she looks. She is a Black girl playing someone who was described in the books as white.
Annabeth is described as being athletic and having curly blond hair (like a princess's), tan skin, and stormy gray eyes
if you ask me It's D.O.A the Pjo Musical was the most accurate version we got besides the source material
@@MasterofJuKBWaaS are you seriously using an actress's race as a reason to think the show isn't going to be good? Christ, grow up kid. Adaptations are never exact. Take Scott pilgrim. They took advantage of the differences in adaptation to tell a story across all 3 mediums. Riordan isn't "contradicting his own writing" he's just changing a single fucking detail and you're throwing a fit.
How are any of us supposed to take what you said as not racist?
honestly, I hate this ending, since the end of the first episode I have been waiting for the final battle, the long-awaited Ragnarok, I think it would have been much better if they had started the battle in the middle of the school, with the mortals witnessing everything and leaving the serpent to magne's final enemy, with both dying at the end, exactly like the stories of Norse mythology, with mortals witnessing and recording everything in the distance, I would love to see a scene from newspapers around the world commenting on the recorded videos of the Battle Of Gods vs Giants.
This ending make sense because throughout the series from start I was thinking why the charecters are acting wierd for example: when Vidar died he turned into dust but then he was buried in a case and nobody questioned about his body because in reality Vidar died of heart attack.
but his wife told the psychologist that Vidar was killed
Personally I loved this show, I couldn't predict what was going to happen (which is rare these days) and all the actors are fantastic. I was sad when I realized it was the end of the show.
So the battle was all in his head from the beginning. It was a psychotic battle 😂. Yoooooh, I don’t know how to feel guys. Laurits gave birth to a whole serpent to feed him buns and hot dogs 😂
It feel like alice in borderland ending but less good
@@exorciste6923 alice in the borderland will have another season
@@exorciste6923 not true at all, alice in borderland has a manga and you can see some new stuff, won't spoil it here
@@bitpof7523 oh yeah well glad to here it
After seeing the ending I felt like Ragnarok happening in his head was a direct result of him proposing a truce and putting down his weapons. Ragnarok is the destruction of the world so that it may begin again. It could very well be interpreted as happening solely in his head, but i saw it happening in his head because he chose peace. The Giants mentioned being around for thousands of years and experiencing Ragnarok in the past. Perhaps this is a cycle of Ragnarok, and because this incarnation of Thor chose peace the bodies inhabited by the God's were able to continue their lives, while their godly forms died in Magnes head. By choosing peace he stopped the end of the actual world he lived in, unlike previous incarnations of Thor.
As someone who loved the show and was still a bit disappointed with the ending, i just want to let y’all know that this whole part of Magne being schizophrenic has been teased ever since season 1, i just feel very few people caught on to it, and I can’t blame y’all.
The thing is that there are very very small details that actually are foreshadowing throughout the entire show.
Some examples of this is when Magne undergoes diagnosis and therapy and such, and in the last season Ran is the one that goes to therapy, this could be in Magnes imagination wishing the person that “tortured” him undergoes the same process.
We also see like Saxa, Laurits, Fjor and all that pick up the hammer that he changes the stories in his head, just like somebody would do in real life to make a cool plot in their imagination. I also never understood why Magne didn’t just call on Mjølner at any point after the world serpent swallowed it, so i would assume this was for the plot.
I feel the final battle was both to satisfy the audience while staying on track, in norse mythology, Thor dies after taking nine steps after his battle with the world serpent, this is what happens in the show as well, where Magnes alter ego, Thor dies when he finally graduates and becomes an adult, no longer needing his coping mechanism.
I actually don't believe this was the true ending, netflix just thought "we cancelled this shit pull something to end it there" as he killed a dog and Vidar, Isolde died and other things happened who wasn't his view
Such a waste of hype, loved season 1, loved season 2, loved the first 2 eps of season 3, from that point on, wtf happened? WTF does this make sense?
That's a shame! It did feel like it drifted in a totally different direction
Didn’t expected to end this way 😢
I have never been more disappointed in my life. i waited so long just for it to not even be real they need to have a do over
Most amazing series I’ve ever seen. With having a family member with schizophrenia. This made me understand the mental illness more than I ever could living with a family member with this disease. I cried for days after watching the end of this series. It made me feel like I lived in that mental illness. The deception everyone’s feeling is how someone who suffers a mental illness feels on a daily basis. What a brilliant director and writer.
But how much more beautiful it would have been if in reality Baldr's death had really happened and Loki embracing him starts smiling because unleashing Ragnarok was his plan from the beginning to take revenge on both the Gods and the giants who have always treated him bad, in fact when they show Ragnarok in Magne Loki's mind in fact he is the only one who survives. In my opinion it would have been a damn more epic and beautiful ending to watch.
Yeah when that hapend i was like you son of ***** This is amazing writing and then i was oh Okay aight then fantasy ok Im done 😅
Dear fans, unfortunately it was all in the schizo mind of Magne. It is clear at the end of s3ep6 when he throughs away the comic books he is looking at a medieval style house. When the comics are thrown and looks at the house again it is a normal house. I think he was schizo because of his father death. When he returned back at his hometown things get worst. All was an allegory of a problematic child fighting with his demon.
It started with his father's death and triggered with the death of Isolde. But what "real" part of the story was he "cured"?
@@ronrr2334but he got the powers even before Isoldes death.. and what about his glasses he never wears them again it is really stupid
@@Nathan-lw1kv Which means he schizophrenic even before meeting her. And also his eye problem is psychosomatic.
He promised he will try to be better. The biggest part of the cure of a mental illness is to realize that you have a problem. The time he realizes this is the fantastic ragnarok battle. He understands that if he will continue like this all his friends will be lost(dead in hiw fantasy) except of his brother. This is the key of turning point in the plot i think
The glasses are irrelevant with the plot i think. I also used to wear my glasses all the time. But now i use them only when i drive. Mayde i have super powers? No. It is just a change of my look. Magne also grew a beard. This is only a part of his look changing. Also at the last season he is seating in the front raws of the classroom. No need foe glasses
i actually really liked that ending it showed what could have been aswell as what was better, through all their struggles throughout the show, in the end they managed to break the cycle of destruction and dared to see eachother as equals. the ending really was beautiful. i think people that didnt like it are over analysing, or created their own fantasy for how it should have ended. i enjoyed the story and the journey. the ending really was beautiful, the emotions portayed in those last minutes was amazingly well done. it deserves more appreciation. i hope others enjoyed it as much as i did.
I really enjoyed it too

Well considering the whole thing was from magnes perspective, we wouldnt entirely know it wasn't real until magne found out it wasn't real. Also, looking back it was almost weird that everything had to be done "as it was written" and Fjor was terrified that it all wasn't perfect. That's when I started to question it.
They should have kept the story real and had a real battle at the graduation ceremony with everyone witnessing it. Would have been a much better ending.
If it was all in his head, how did he become friends with all these people throughout the town. They only became friends because they were destined to fight together against the giants and they were old gods who came back.
Other than that, I guess Thor’s colored haired friend actually flew into a power line and I guess the giants father actually had a heart attack, and I guess any scene that doesn’t have him in it is just created by his imagination..?
There are like 100 plot holes now.. when you rewatch the show now nothing makes sense anymore.. you could try to find explanations and imagine what might have happened in Magnes reallife but still not logical. They did not just destroy the ending they also destroyed the whole show when you rewatch it. It was one of the shows with a truly logical, interesting writing and without major plotholes. Can't believe how one ending can change all of that..
So basically, The whole story is real but The directors show us The battle that would have happened if magne didn't stop the war
This is exactly how I interpreted it. That’s why I didn’t think it was that bad. Like ok if he didn’t stop the war this is what would’ve happened and everyone would’ve died but since he made peace they all get a happy ending. For a rushed final season (since Netflix cancelled it) I thought it worked.
@@thevikinggIt wasn't cancelled. Showrunner Adam Price confirmed in an interview that it had been planned as a 3-season show
i thought the battle happened. They were showing it present and future kinda of the way. And then they showed no arrow hit anyone like that. And then we see his obsession with thor. And they all friends. During the entire arrow scene i was wondering about the reaction time of the people.
No it wasn't real, a good example is jutuls house, why did it change after he threw out the comics? that shows that it was all in his head
Disappointing! When 'Hod' shot the arrow... i was like oh shit! And then they gave us blue balls!
Weird ending. Feels like they just came up with it last minute. But good show, 5/10 👍
The ending was like Twilight breaking dawn part 2
I think they gave us evidence to reach both conclusions: schizophrenia and it was real except for choosing peace/love, ragnarok only happens in the comics and Magne's imagination. I've been reading/watching different ending explanations and both theories seems correct. Let's enjoy both, if we can. Or maybe we can enjoy both and imagine they coexists. Anyway, I would like to hear the writers official ending explanation.
I love ambiguous endings like that, we the audience can draw our own conclusions.
The final episode was amazing, I never expected to hate an ending more than the game of thrones ending.........
Lmao, it left me utterly confused, there was no build up or nothing. Other than that flashback scene where a doctor prescribed him medicine. This truly was a HUGE disappointment, we are basically lied to throughout all 3 seasons and they threw this ending at us about it all being hallucinations, I could’ve written a better conclusion in 3rd grade.
Excactly my thoughts I agree with the first part of your ending explained I loved it I as a nerd knew how ragnarok was going end so this ending was like I knew but was mind blown and also didn't know and brought me to tears personally
On one hand, the ending pretty much said that we spent 3 seasons, 3 years (or more?) we were lied to, on the other hand, I think the ending was right. Magne was always this damaged boy and we watched how he decided to leave his escapist fantasies and live his life instead. It was a story about a growing up and becoming a man. Not just for Magne, but for Lauritz, Fjor, and probably many more characters.... I guess the only issues is some plotholes, like the boy who was hit by the ancient arrow - was he real? Or was he completely imagined? How did the father of Fjor and Saxa actually die? Did Magne, as part of his fantasies, really killed him and was the giant mother really scared of Magne? .... unexplained
This was such a pathetic ending....it would've been better if the show just ended in episode 5...dammmm
That's fair - episode 5 was a somewhat well rounded ending with them finding peace!
@@BrainPilot yeah it could have ended in episode 5.
I unironically loved this ending. I always thought that something was wrong. The rest of the season is not great in my opinion because there where no good vilians. The choise to make it a psychological show with themes of letting go of childhood trauma is a really Nice change from the kind of campy rest of the story.
Bro just explained my exact thoughts after watching the season, Thank You❤
Glad to hear it
I gotta say, I seem to feel a lot of Americans hated the ending. As an American who loves marvel, I really enjoyed how this ended. It wasn't just some super hero movie, I feel like the directors and writers were shooting for more of a psychological angle, I really enjoyed the non typical ending.
How could it be fake if vidar is dead? Why did he date Saxa if nobody was actually scared of him. If they were? Why were they if it was all fake? Most importantly, where did Vidar go if he was never killed?
Also. Why would the old man Wotan be at the final table. Wasn’t their whole relationship based on them being Thor and Odin?
Yea I don’t understand can someone explain to me because how can it be in his head when the old man have him powers and what about the old woman dying and the dog and the giant confused
Great vid...I agree, wanted more! I feel so empty inside 😢😂
You and me both!
I honestly don't think that the ending was great. I like the idea of Magne moving on after the peace between the giants and the gods, but I don't like the idea of the main points of the series might have been in Magne's imagination. It just comes across as a cop out for the entire series. As far as I'm concerned, everything except part of the series finale was real. The gods and giants were real, and Magne is just trying to figure out his future without being the reincarnated Thor. That's my personal head canon anyway.
yeah i think of it the same way, at the end he finally accepted that there could be peace between gods and giants and not everything goes by the book... but still, pretty shitty season considering that it's the last one
I loved the ending. I had enjoyed the show, but was expecting it to end as a typical mytho-fantasy film or TV show-which we did get to see in the CGI battle scenes with the serpent-, but then to realise that this is actually a story about mental illness and psychological trauma in a young man’s life, that was unexpected and much more interesting and moving. The fact that the audience comes to this realisation at the same moment that the character does is quite brilliant: through three seasons we haven’t questioned this reality, and then it shatters in a heartbreaking way.
id like to propose a theory:
everything that happened did happen. when magne proposed a truce, both the gods and giants reaped the benefits e.g. fjor getting with his secretary, saxa taking charge of the company, laurits finding love, magne reconciling with his friends etc.
as for why the giants would want to keep this lifestyle, perhaps it’s because they have grown to appreciate humanity more. one example is when Ran consistently approaches the school councillor for emotional support, even though she is aware that he does not fully believe her fear of death by magnes hammer. or when Fjor desires to love a human more than he desires to kill, which was his primal instinct due to Vidar’s teachings. on top of that, they get to be alive, without fighting an impossible battle against the giants.
the Gods are content with their lifestyle as well, e.g. Iman and the other guy both have jobs where they are happy , and Wotan as Odin finally sees peace and decides to leave it as it is.
as for the Midgard Serpent Jormugandr ( Laurits tapeworm) perhaps it could actually have swam out of the Fjord and traversed into the deep oceans outside of Edda. after all it is well known that the ocean is still very much unknown to us, which brings the possibility that it could join the other unknown creatures that roam the oceanbed.
as for the graduation scene, Magne did indeed hallucinate the war into real life, due to him reading about the comic version of the battle right before, and due to his awareness that someone was handling a bow outside the hall.
however, in this universe the child didnt in fact somehow shoot the arrow directly at heimdall, and Laurits didnt go insane and wage war etc. hence nothing actually happened and the war did not spark.
at the end , when Signy came to find Magne again, he faltered when he saw the love of his life. maybe it was then that he decided to put all of the powers and caution away, and to just enjoy life like any other teenager would.
in conclusion: everything that happened did happen, just that both the Gods and Giants are now content and happy ( for now) and they decide to get along and live out this life with their human friends, and Ragnarok was averted( which is still something i didnt like)
hence this theory can support these incidents:
- Vidar did indeed kill Isolde
- Ran did shoot the old lady who could transform into a raven
- Magne did kill Vidar in his home, rather than Vidar dying of a heart attack
- Fjor turned back from leaving with Gry due to the callings of his father through his Giant genes
all the trial tests Magne did to test the extent of his abilities were real ( e.g. throwing a hammer across a football field, running sub 7 seconds in a 100m track, bending a metal bat in front of laurits, running down the mountain at an impossibly fast time etc. ) and they were not part of his hallucinations.
again, this entire theory is just my way of coping with this incomprehensibly bad and anticlimactic finale of a once well written and genuinely interesting series.
I actually like the 3rd season however I do have a couple suggestions
1. The show should’ve been longer at least 8 episodes tops only because it’s the grand finale
2. Why weren’t there any talk about saxa possibly being pregnant by mugna for in Norse myth saxa the giantess is impregnated by Thor ( that would’ve been a 8 part worthy for the season)
3. Instead of incorporating schizophrenia I believe they should’ve really made it into a fiction where as there was possibly that Gods & Giants were living amongst mortals and kept the story going from there. Like a true blood type situation ( if you ever watched true blood you’ll know what I mean )
Conclusion I do love the message at the ending how everyone found love or truly found love within themselves and unity ☺️
Saxa actually said to magne about why she isn't afraid of him (or the hammer) is bcz there is someone stronger inside her
@@ayubestica1564 oh I must’ve missed that part I’ll have to watch it back to hear that part. And see that would actually be worthy for a 4th season just sucks they only stopped at 3 I believe they’ve really could’ve done so much with the story… possibly
@@ashleyj9934 no, no sorry i was wrong. She said she not afraid of magne bcz magne is now as strong as herself
I thoroughly enjoyed the boldness to take on the Norse Mythology and thought first few seasons they smashed it with a modern retelling/coming of age drama. I was able to suspend disbelief for the usual streaming services rhetoric and poet licence with plots and character development.
I won’t judge too harshly but was left after final episode saying “this ain’t it!”
Got this feeling as the last couple of episodes of season went on that however they got down to the stage of ragnarok there’s a chance of the whole “it was all a dream” and he was gonna be back in the car just arriving at Edda. A kind lazy writing way of wrapping it up and giving audience opportunity to interruption.
Magne transmuted all season between mr thundercock carrying a designer bag and being corrupted by power then into Gollum over the power and seduction of the hammer and then final form turned into Leonardo in shutter island??
Of course esoterically we can obtain many things from the end and series, how the energies and stories exist within us or how cycles need to be broken or fulfilled, death, rebirth etc or simply how these events may occur outside of perceived reality we experience in Midgard.
But that’s if you wanna dig cause on the surface I think they settled with the coming of age drama stuff.
** queue the scene where everyone is having a drink in the coffee shop everyone smiling cheers! Happy every after**
Saying that never commented on UA-cam on a season before so definitely got me talking or stoked the flames. They won the final battle! 🤯🔨
Cool video and best wishes all.
I agree
Nah i was expecting the Jormungandr to be HUGE like a mountain. Like in real life mythology the Jormungandr was literally the same length as the entire planet.
This show is unwatchable now
At least we got an ending for this one unlike other shows that Netflix just cancelled.
Yeah that's true!
The only problem I have with the movie being all about _Magne's_ hallucinations is that how come we were shown POVs of the Jutul family and so on, because that part is confusing to as what actually happened? is this whole thing are like "Let's feed Magne's coping mechanisms and be the characters he wants us to be."
I just remembered : back in season 1, after being diagnosed, Magne refuses to take his medication and tells his mother that « he’d rather live in his fantasy world »
I thought it was a choice, I think he saw what would have happened if he made different choice.
Hi, thank you for this video! I wanted to hear about other people's analysis and opinions, as the ending shook me up. I've loved this series immensely, and for many years, as I think it always had a huge potential. Season 1 and 2 were amazing, and I've watched them time and again. Right now, I'm still processing, especially the ending. I know many people will think it was disappointing and a waste of their time, but I choose to remember the journey rather than the destination. This modern take on Norse Mythology, with Scandinavian actors and languages, was a breath of fresh air.
I think season 3 was rushed and stayed on the surface. Character development wasn't at its best. To me, it feels like season 3 ended with episode 5, and that episode 6 was just the writers ticking "showing Ragnarok to please the fans because our plot was all about it" off their to do list. I think the idea of peace over war is nice and still could've been incorporated into the storyline without the series losing something along the way.
I could be wrong but I had never heard about Magne's love for superheroes, especially Thor, during his childhood. On the contrary, based on season 1 and 2, it seemed to me that he didn't know much about it, and that Erik played an important role in that regard, for both Magne and Laurits, as well as the viewers. Many things were added during episode 6, and I feel like it was a really bad move.
I've settled on believing that everything was real (them being gods reincarnated), and that Magne actually had to go through Ragnarok, in one way or another, to kill Thor and fulfill the "prophecy" + to be himself again. Thor needed to die, as Ragnarok demands it, it had to be done and that's OK with me. I think all the other gods should have gone through the same thing in order for the characters to live on normally. However, it wouldn't have made sense for the giants, as they never were reincarnations. Maybe the Jutuls should've been giants reincarnated so that in the end they can all be friends, as the ending showed. Either that, or true peace between giants and gods, with them having all their powers and abilities, even Magne (like episode 5 hinted at). I guess it feels like the show chose a sort of in-between.
The theory that it was all in Magne's head is not something I believe in, and I think it was rather confusing. However, your video explained it in a very insightful way. Well done!
Everything could not have been real because when he threw the Thor comics away the "giants" house looked different.
Also it was never mentioned that Magne was a comic book fan untill the final episode. I watched all 3 seasons for the 1st time this week, i have a clear memory and not once was it mentioned.
Yes, magnes interests in superheroes was never mentioned or reference til ep6 of s3
@@mysticDchimp if it's not real how did he cure his myopia? He wore glasses in season 1 and got cure when he became Thor.
sorry, I didn't understand the ending, he imagined in his head the whole story of the seasons, human giants who speak the ancient language, odin, the old woman at the beginning and her powers?
i hate to say it, but its true... hes allegedly
schizophrenic and you can see it in s3e4 or 5 when he spoke with odin in the wood.. im so disappointed and i was so hyped
thank you, but how do you explain it death of vidar and odin in the end in a wheelchair
@@edoardoaghemo7460 his death was probably an accident like Isoldes which makes no sense..
@@battprincess having said that i just think the final war was only in his mind, not everything
@@edoardoaghemo7460 yes i thought that too during the last episode, but in the end of the episode, they had me rly questioning was it all in his head and him being schizophrenic during all 3 seasons... also the giants house its different when he looked up while throwing the magazines in the trash..like why would they change their house too look different all of sudden.. doesnt make any sense at all but okay... such a waste of hype..
What was the awakening at the beginning episode 1 den. That was way before everything happened. I want to think it all happened, but we still saw everything through magnus warped reality
Im from New Zealand and I really enjoyed this show.
That’s fair!
🎵 It was all a dream, I can't believe what I've seen,
Watching "Ragnarok" on Netflix, thought it'd be so mean,
Thor and Loki battling, the end was drawing near, But then it turned out, it was just a dream, I shed a tear.
I tuned in for the epic clash, the final showdown,
But the twist they threw at us, man, it really let me down,
The suspense was building up, the tension oh so tight,
But in the end, it was all a dream, and that just ain't right.
I wanted battles fierce, with lightning in the sky, But it all dissolved like vapor, just a cruel goodbye,
I guess I'll have to find a show where dreams don't steal the scene,
'Cause "Ragnarok" on Netflix, man, it left me feeling lean 🎵
Right so Isolde death didn’t have to do with anything bc he got them before she died bc I remember he fixed his bike with his bear hands and that and secondly fuijors death addiction stopped was bc he fed the bodies to the serpent and the serpent was big enough for his plan which was leaving magne in the middle of the sea or lake idk what to call it
Glad I watched this before sitting down and watching the final season
Haha, hope it didn't get ruined!
@@BrainPilot saved me about 8 hrs soo it didn't ruin anything
I got chills when i realize that blud was just imagining things
See this the bs we gonna get with the writers strike going on . Producers or whoever pay your writers ,they are what we need in the film industry and deserve a raise!
can't believe it ended like this ....
There were clues in the show that looking back were indications that the giants vs gods aspect might have been in Magne's head. The death of Vidar for one, who really did die, but didn't turn to dust, how could his death have been ruled a heart attack if he been reduced to a pile of dust? With Wenche as well, no one in the town was talking about any one being reduced to dust. Also, the gods and the giants agreeing to have a final battle at the warehouse and no one bringing up how this was going to look to the police.
If all of it was in his head, What really happened then? Did he now really saw Laurits/Loki gazing at his fabulous existance in the mirror pretending he is the gorgeous Loki? Or that his brother gave birth to a monster worm? Or Vidar running naked on the mountains and killing animals and eating their heart?
He was fine getting called Loki aslong his brother accept him, its a conservative town... He read that Loki was bisexual and he liked that idea. He knew his brother was wracked, same as all other people around him. Giant dude died by a heart attack. Saxa liked the freak because she was bored of others, also he had a glow up. His girlfriend was cute and she actually wanted to stop the relationship, but did not want to lose him to saxa, so she asked for another try. The giant dude was just hunting. Both, killing animals and poisoning the environment was real.
Honestly the only unrealistic thing in the serious was that the news reported the truth... 😂😅
when the ending was unraveling before my eyes I was so confused and when he died in his head but didn't IRL the fear that I was getting in that scene came true, I realized I was right and I couldn't believe they pulled the "it was all in his head" I was somewhat triggered I wouldn't have such issue with the ending if the show had TEASED AT ALL or if it made sense that it was all fake or if the show was actually about Magne's disorder but the whole show was building up to RAGNAROK, it's the name of the show, it's the name of the last episode, for it to not be real to me felt lazy or idk, like they couldn't live up to the expectations so they just changed the ending
There were many clues throughout the series implying there is a possibility this was happening in peoples mind. I was not shocket by ending or disappointed. Will definitely make me rewatch..
i see everybody hating on the show's ending but after watching this video i made up my decision i personally think the ending was something different that you can't possibly imagine i know there are some plotholes in the ending, but in the last fight in magne's brain just shows that how in the whole series all the scenes were actually nothing but fantasy in his head not reality and the writers wanted audience to fantasize the reality.(I don't care about plotholes i give it a 10on10 for the efforts made by writers to make it something different then usual mythological based tv shows)
What if religions were made the same way ? One schizophrenic claims he hears and sees things and the world follows …Schizophrenia is a big deal
makes sense.
Well something created the big bang even if you try to explain with science someone Def created life
Definitely, not Christianity though. Too much evidence to the contrary.
What about the ppl that Fjor killed, the talk between Ran and the shrink, relationship between Magnus and Saxa, the reason behind Jutul going green, Vidar’s death, Laurits being Vidar’s son… are those real?
I didn't mind the ending myself. Throughout the story I was noticing these loopholes where the giants had the clear upper hand but didn't kill any of the main cast. For an evil species that didn't make sense that they were letting him grow stronger when they knew he was growing stronger. Sure at some point they mentioned that "they wanted to do it as it was written", but the fights/heated conversations that broke out before the new moon and S2 onwards seemed like the giants could have simply ended Magne there without caring for what any prophecy dictates.
So when the ending was revealed that finally made sense to me. Also Fjor's comment "Not in this world atleast" did strike me as kind of odd. It didn't fit with the conversation to me. So I am fine with how it all ended, especially since it felt that at the end atleast one giant (not Loki though) will be left alive by the writers because someone needs to run that big corporation. So I was sure not all of them would die.
That said, I'm still confused about which parts to what degree were in his head. And how many didn't even take place at all and it was simply him daydreaming in his room, including the parts where he wasn't in the scene but the conversations happening were about gods and giants and the actions were fantasy. Maybe he read those scenes in the comics and imagined them in his head? Its hard to untangle fact from fiction without a second watch. And I don't watch movies or tv series with the purpose of analysing them, so I hope I can find a good enough youtube video that does it for me.
So I might be a little biased but Thor’s arrogance is what makes him the god of thunder! Just like with the Marvel character. Honestly, I wasn’t here for the writers to tell me that thor is a fantasy from Norse mythology. I know that. Why couldn’t they just dive into the whole fantasy of it all and give us a real coming age story with a young thor doing what he does best? He should’ve rained a lightning storm on a real villain (which fjor could’ve been). All in all this show needed more action and less reality drama. 4/10
Just mad I waited this long to get this a ending
I love it , make me think and believe what I want
That's fair enough!
I want to believe that final vision was just a warning not that it was all In head. Showing that peace saved all of them
as satisfying an ending as Lost. I hope the writers get the chance to redeem themselves with another episode..
if it was all in his head i wish they did flashbacks to what really happened.
I was actually afraid of watching the ending after I heard so much bad things about it. So I was surprised that I really loved the ending. To me, it all made so much sense. As a boy who is suffering from psychic issues (maybe since his father died) it is clear that more stress makes things worse (moving into another town, then the death of his friend) and can make schizophrenia even worse. So he relies on his "safe space" from happy childhood days, his comics. To me, it is okay not to know exactly how saxas father died. I think, in the final episode, we get a good impression of how magnes imaginations relate to reality. So maybe there was a fight with jutul family, maybe all that was just in his head because he saw them as the cause of isoldes dead. I found the final episode very moving (to see how the mother, "odin" and other outcasts stand by his side to get on a peaceful path again and motivate him to allow himself to love).
I wish this was a 4 season show the finale could have been the beginning of ragnarok
That build up had so much potential for an action packed episode that I can speak for most people that we were waiting for, but no they just said: “nope, we don’t have the budget” lol
Great show and beautiful ending ..the clues were there right from the beginning that this was a schizophrenic fantasy/break born as a coping mechanism for the loss he suffered with isolde, we also get to see the final battle in his mind and his emerging from the other side of his schizophrenic break in the shows final moments best of both worlds....what more could you ask for and also Netflix finishing a show to conclusion for once.....Most Excellent
I believe the only thing he imagined was the scenes during his diploma, if u see he doesn’t wear glasses at the end and i dont thing that he casualy wore contacts and if none of theese things happened where is vidar and he would have never had signy leave him if it wasn’t for the hammer.
And also magne killing fjor father was also in his head why he didn't show up in the last episode
Bcz vidar is still death by heart attack
Bro how good this series started in S1 and then the downfall.. same as my life.
I believe that the vision that Magne saw in episode 6 was not a hallucination but what would have happened if the battle took place in episode 5. Either way this saw is a hidden gem but could have done better with season 3. I do like you exclamation as well 🤝
That’s fair enough!
I will miss that show. It was campy, quirky, low budget fun. The ending was a bummer. I doubt anyone will be happy with it. That they lead us to think it was all in his head and just a fantasy he'd created do to PTSD, was a lazy cop out. I don't know why so many otherwise great series can't deliver a great ending.
Great show
What if Magne was shocked enough to believe that everything that had happened was in his mind, when in fact everything had really happened? I believe that it was all true, but after the absurd events of the battle, everything was too much to bear, so once the ragnarok is over, Magne is forced to get back to the "real world" and imagine that everything that happened was in his own head, because he was too upset to remain sane. His mind defended him from the reality of a reincarnation, and after his purpose as a hero was fulfilled, he had to be able to get back living in the real world, and as consequence forgetting everything, and convince himself that he had imagined everything. 🤔
What about when a truck went over Magne's leg? He didn't even get hurt. How's that explained???
The problem is that the ending doesn't make any sense at all. On the one hand there is clear evidence that he made it all up (The house of the Jutuls e.g. what changes in the penultimate scene when Magne takes a closer look), on the other hand Magne has no glasses. How can schizophrenia restore vision?
Is it just me or dose the world serpent an unknown creature at the beginning of the last episode kind of sound like the demogorgon from stranger things
Everything up until the last episode was real. In the ending magne sees what would’ve happened if they hadn’t decided to drop they’re weapons and carry on with the battle. Magne also kills the dog and one of the giants which he couldn’t have imagined.
I think it still could have been a good ending with him having mental illness...what i would have liked is to see the alternate reality...the main events in real world which he hallucinated and twisted with his imaginary stories..if I re-watch the show, I want to be able to see the events and be convinced that he was mentally sick..but most of the events don't make sense and i feel like left with many unanswered questions
