I mean, from the get go I feel showing the afterlife of the gods is a bad idea. Peeks here and there, suggestions and rumours are good, but full on explaining how their afterlife works is just defeating the mystery (also, what happens to those gods who ALSO die in said afterlife? If it is all just a series of recursive plains, isn't it all somewhat pointless? Also, if the greeks and nord gods have their different realms of the dead mortals, how come they don't have their own realms of the dead gods instead of a general one? And so on, and so on). So showing anything at all is a mistake. Whatever they're going to show, it's going to be underwhelming. |
I’m pretty sure your neat and simple explanation of what is going on is not actually it. It is way more likely that whatever is happening in this place is something out of the ordinary and caused by some specific person or event and the story will be to resolve this and everyone moves on to… wherever that may be. The story seems to very specifically tie in to the masks and the thread that was explored in Ragnarok with Odin.
