Review of Ragnarok

Ragnarok (2020–2023)
6/10
The potential was huge, but....

Warning: Spoilers
This series had incredible potential in the beginning. And it really started well. The environmental issue mixed with the mythological thing had great omen. So what do creative geniuses do? They kill off one of the best characters in the series up to that point. Right away, this made the mood of the series plummet. You don't need to have a screenwriting course to know that you don't kill the best character in the first episode of a series or at the beginning of a movie.

Even so, the series manages this missed "penalty" well and progresses, thanks to the mythological plot. And only that and the permanent climate of confrontation between the main character and his antagonists manage to keep the interest, because the scriptwriters keep sabotaging themselves.

Poor dialogues, unbelievable holes in the script, with sequences without any sense, which obviously would not occur in the real world, absolutely alienated characters (like the mother of the protagonist, possibly one of the worst characters in the history of cinema), leave the impression that the script it feels like it was written by a teenager who lacked ideas for completing basic dialogue or better ideas for context. There are many loose ends. For example, the city's water is totally contaminated, but the factory does not receive any fines, nobody is arrested and the factory remains open. In fact, it all sounds a little superficial, even a little unreal, since strange things happen and nobody notices anything. There is very little depth.

However, despite all this, it is still possible to remain interested, due to the clash between the forces of good and evil and the natural curiosity about how it will all end. But the somewhat hollow development leaves something to be desired overall.
