Marvel isn't the only one in the Thor business. Netflix's Norwegian fantasy series "Ragnarok" features a story based on Norse mythology that also carries a timely environmental message, and it's finally coming back for a second season.
The show, which debuted in January 2020, follows Magne, an unassuming teen who finds out he's actually the second coming of the powerful god Thor, setting into motion a story that finds the young man fighting against the powerful Jutul Industries, which is run by other imposing figures from Norse mythology known as Jötunn. Appearing as beautiful humans, the Jutuls are Norway's fifth-wealthiest family, which makes them a prime representation of the ruling 1%, but they are also the embodiment of corporate malfeasance in a story that involves their factories polluting the beautiful small town of Edda, Norway.
