How The RAGNAROK Season 3 Ending RUINED The Show 

What did you think of the ending of Ragnarok season 3? Comment your thoughts below!

I really thought it was weird that in season 2 when Saxa tried to take the hammer from Magne after she had been punished for being a traitor, the hammer was so heavy that she couldn't even pick it up but in season 3, they were passing it around like a game of Hot Potatoe

Game of Thrones: Worst ending ever for a TV Show. RAGNAROK: HOLD MY BEER!!!

Holy hell this show started so good and ended so bad, glad to see others agree

I'm choosing to believe that that "hallucination scene" at Magne's graduation was him imagining how Ragnarok would have played out if he did not declare peace, not that all the events didn't happen. There were too many incidents throughout that cannot be explained by "imagination". Missing tourists on the river, how did that kid get an arrow in his eye, etc.

It would have been a better ending, if Saxa was telling a story to her and Magne's child. Leaving it open to if it was real or not, and if it was real their child being the reason for peace.

Horrible ending, the actors were so damn good and deserved better.

For a guy like me who's been watching this show for almost 2 years now, I feel like this show had great potential but was ruined by a lousy ending

When the show came out it had a special place in my heart, and when i saw that a 3th season was on it's way i was shocked and excited for months, and then the season finally came, now i don't know what to think no more, i am extremely disappointed and quite sad :/

i am so sad that they ruined the show with a 'it was all in his head' we waited for two years for the final battle and they teased us so much for this and it was hardly any action

They had everything The characters Set up Everything They literally messed it all up

The guy who created this show trolled us hard. "Magne liked comic books"..not once was it shown or mentioned before ep 6 of season 3. How did he not know about Thor if he read the comics!?! He had to ask about Thor from his teacher. "It was all in his head"..so did he imagine his brother getting pregnant and the mom talking with a therapist? Why would he imagine that? Is he just a weirdo? If he was crazy the entire time living in a made up fantasy world how did he manage to find an attractive girlfriend? The ending showed him throwing away comic books and with that the "giants" house changed to normal. The creator of this show pretty much said that comic books and superhero shows are for children and you need to throw childish things away. Ragnarok is 1/10 and not worth watching. It was a waste of time.

Absolutely agree, in movies like Fight Club, when you realise Tyler isn't actually real, you see flashbacks to scenes that show you what really happened, there are clues during the movie that you see and then it all makes sense. I didn't get any clues at all it was inside Magne's head, not until the very end of the show, so you've no idea what really happened. I would rather Netflix just cancelled the show after season 2 like they usually do and leave us all wondering rather than literally killing the show off completely with such a bad ending. I don't see myself ever watching this show again, it was so good seeing him throw that hammer for the first time, or seeing how fast he can run, but all of that isn't real now so its just pointless. What about when they go hiking and he can see so much further ahead, was he just guessing? What about when he left Isolde on the mountain, the police said he was back in town in 30 minutes when it usually takes 90, did he lie or did that conversation never take place, did he even go with her? You can pick the entire show to pieces now and it has ruined the entire show for me - extreme I know, but when you've waited years for another 6 episodes and this is what you get, its a bit frustrating.

I can guarantee that not a single fan of season 1 and 2 could have guessed the show would end like it did, it's such a bummer

Agreed, the ending absolutely RUINED the show!! Not only was there no big satisfying battle to end things off, but it was all apparently *IN HIS HEAD* and not real?!

I really wanted to see magne and saxa as a couple they had amazing chemistry

The ending definitely ruins the series by just implying that everything that happened in the series was just in Magne's head. The series was just better off with Magne being the reincarnated Thor that decided to peacefully resolve the issues with the giants, and finding a way to move on afterwards. Also, Magne being arrogant due to the power of the hammer isn't too farfetched, as for most of season 1 and 2, Magne was powerless or less powerful than the giants, but by the end of season 2, he now has the power to beat them. He does try to beat them without the hammer, but when that ultimately fails and he finally realizes that with the hammer he has them finally beaten, it just makes sense for the power to go to his head. Even Thor in Norse mythology had his moments of arrogance. In many ways, Magne in season 3 embodied the best and worst qualities of Thor, while also being somewhat different. Him choosing peace with the giants at the end is proof of how he differs from Thor. My personal head canon is that everything that happened was real, and Magne had a metaphorical Ragnarok battle to move on from being the reincarnated Thor, and just go on to be Magne.

The first two seasons were strong and I was hooked. I was checking continuously when the 3rd season was coming… Neither the fans nor the actors deserved this ending…

This season ending is why i have trust issues...

Those first two seasons were incredible.

It's not just the last episode. The whole season felt off. A lot of it felt cheesy, there were a lot of inconsistencies, the characters felt like different people. S1 and 2 had a completely different vibe, they were dark, gritty, mysterious, while this literally felt like a feel-good comic book story and the villains no longer even felt threatening and ominous like they did in previous seasons. Ran and Saxa were cunning and devious, this time they felt tame and weak. Fjor had the whole evil to redemption then back to evil arc and it was fully justified, he was supposed to be ignited and out for blood, yet he felt like a weak loser this season. Herman Tommeraas who plays him is a tremendous actor and I think they massively underutilized his entire role in this season. As for the heroes - they also lost all mystery to them. When Freya was introduce she felt mysterious and full of potential, now she's just someone on the side who didn't even really play a role. She was just there. I don't think that "it was all in his head", because of the inconsistencies, but I wouldn't be surprised if that was still their intentions despite the inconsistencies, because you could find them all over the place. I also don't think it even matters, both endings regardless of if it was in his head or not are horrible.

The first season where Magnes mother scolds him for living in a fantasy world had both Magne and us questioning his sanity. The fact they went away from this back then, but still ended with everything just being in his head is just moving the story backwards to the beginning

I honestly thought that at the graduation, the arrow actually hit Jens (Baldur) and that's where Ragnarok would start. Going after the whole "One often meets his Fate on the same path he takes to avoid it" thing. It could have been perfect. There was generally still a lot of potential left in the show. Great actors, good ideas. They were on their way to have imo the best Thor portray ever (maybe after gow Thor)... Sucks that it essentially just got thrown out the windows.

Can't believe they did that. It was such a cop out. Absolutely horrible

I'm pretty sure it wasn't just all in his head, I think it was just him playing out what could have happened if he continued going down the route he was going. They just got greedy and tried to make the bad ending a good ending so nobody complained but they just ruined it by doing that

I'm almost willing to bet that the reason why the ending was this way had something to do with Netflix itself. I would assume they cut the budget too much, or even cancelled a potential 4th season.

Tell me you wanted to ruin a show without telling me you wanted to….Ragnarok says challenge accepted!!!

It could have been a good ending if it actually seemed like this was the plot the entire time. But it definitely seemed like they just didn't know how to end it so just all of a sudden decided it was in his head. If it played out like shutter Island where there were seeds planted along the way, clues and Easter eggs that you could go back and see how it was all a dilusion then it would have been a really good twist. But it would have been much better to just end it with a battle.

I wish we could have an alternative ending

man i binged all 3 seasons in 1 sitting and i will absolutely agree , they could have left it episode 5 and i would have recommended this show but the last episode just made this show a solid 4/10 .. what a waste of time

In my humble opinion,the third season of Ragnarok changed the whole root of the story. It demystified the characters and turned the fantasy /adventure genre of the series into psychological/ action kind of drama reducing the hype that had created the past seasons

Like many other people have said, the whole graduation/imagination scene doesn't explain how some scenes happened earlier like that kid getting shot in the eye or Magne being acknowledged that he has super strength by another person in the first season. It created a lot of plot holes. I want to believe everything else was real and only the last battle played out in his mind.

I feel like this ending could have made sense if every scene had Magne in it. From where it showed other characters exhibiting the godlike/giantlike characteristics, it makes no sense that it was all in Magne's head. Also, what happened to Vidar? Did Magne just imagine killing him? Is Magne a murderer that was allowed to walk the streets? Same with the dog. An ending that would have made more sense would have been him envisioning Ragnarok at graduation. The characters having a hiccup as their god counterparts die showing that the gods inside them have died, but the human bodies live on. Then the characters go back to normal life with no recollection of the gods being in them. The past couple years had vague memories. They know each other and are friends with each other, but they don't know how. However, now they are free to live their normal human lives. The battle happened, but the peace truce is maintained. The whole in his head thing just does not make sense with all that happened during the show.

I pretty much watched the finale in a state of confusion once they started hinting the reveal and talking about symptoms and medication. Pretty much a "why are they doing this?" I wasn't even mad, angry or sad in the moment, just so utterly confused that I couldn't process how it was supposed to make sense. ALSO SHOW ME LIGHTNING! Did we get any Magne lightning in season 3???!!! (I don't count thunder when Magne breaks the truce.) Why did we have Wotan talk to Magne about Thor being the god of other things including weather if in the final confrontation he again, was just a hammer...

Just finished season three and I am so pissed. I feel incomplete. I'm soooooo upset. I feel like I've wasted 3 years of my life

Yeah, very disappointing. I have a question. Did Vidar really die? Killed by Magne? Since everything going on was in his head, why wasn't he charged if he killed Vidar?

5 and 1/2 episodes were good then this happened. Felt like someone sabotaged the ending for some reason.

I choose to believe he's only convinced himself that it was all in his head so that he could move on with his life, especially now that he's with a human and after the vision of what could have been. I could see the show coming back years later with him needing to be reminded who he really is because of a new incoming threat; a plot similar to Men in Black II perhaps? Maybe him reading through the comics at the end was his way of finally seeing the inevitable tragedy and how it will always replay as long as there is war and not peace.

what truly tells that it was all in Magna head is that they show how the jutul house really looks like when he trash Thor books. and not only I feel I been manipulated, as I always thought I was looking a northern mythology in modern time, which was brillant, and not some schizophrenic kid's imagination. but with that, that leave door to so many things that just dont add up. what was real and what was not. did he really killed Vidar in from of his brother? did he really came with a hammer in season 3 ( now im guessing his toy hammer) and put them on their knees? did he really killed what is now. a regular dog and crack his jaw. with that, Magna is no longer the Thor we all thought he was, but a complete sociopath killer... and that make the show a complete joke.... WTH was the writers thinking. they should have leave it the ending at episode 5.....

This means that Magne threatens the Jutul family with a homemade hammer, making them change his school grades, pay for the coffee, let him sleep in his house, and eat all their food... Killing the father of his brother... And also this couldn't have been in his mind because when Weanchi (The old lady that gave the power) was there before Isolde died, the fact that Vidar was already killing monsters before Isolde died, only shows more plot holes... Also, why did everyone was able to move Mjolnir like a toy when in season 2 Saxa said it was "too heavy to lift" and wasn't able to steal it from Magne...

I think it was a caused by Netflix and the budget. They needed to give it an end, but if you have no money for creative options like a great fight its quite hard. But the way they did it wasn´t good either. I mean the name "Ragnarok" is the greatest fight of the univerese, but we saw no hand-to-hand combat, just some One-Hit attacks. Very disappointing

Tq guys. Just started the season 3. You guys have saved my bit of portion of my life. 😅.

I am wondering - if the whole story was all in Magne's head - did he really kill Vidar? Wouldn't that mean he would be locked in an institution or prison?

There is one question I have, is this the fault of Netflix canceling the show or is this actually how the writers wanted to end the show?

id like to propose a theory: everything that happened did happen. when magne proposed a truth, 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've never had a show ending make me feel so empty and angry. The excitement, nostalgia, and inspiration I gained up until the last 2 episodes was unmatched. My heart is crushed right now. I feel emotionally fucked, I know its just a show but I was purely invested. I haven't had a show peak my interest like that ever. This writer did the viewers and actors a huge disservice. Was this the plan all along or was it rushed? This could've spanned for 5-6 seasons and made more money... How are they gonna write the most epic action/mystery show then last 2 episodes decide they wanna be someone bullshit knockoff Donnie Darko. I'm pissed lol.

I loved the end but i interpreted it differently. I didnt feel like it was all in his head. I felt like they prevented Ragnarok peacefully but Magne still hadnt let go of it all. When he finally did the Gods and Giants all became "dormant" and so he now believes it was all in his head.

Not only was the ending bad, it ruined the whole show

i agree i felt veeeeery dissapointed

I waited 3 years for Ragnarok and all I got was regurgated Fight club and Shutter island

Such a good show, so sad the writers said fuck it at the end and let the AI write the finish. Joking about the AI but this ending was so bad and out of left field that I can not believe anybody would take credit for it.

Just watched it and I cannot believe this. Watching season 1 and 2 was so powerful and impactful and I was so excited going into this hoping for a great climax that had been building up. However everything went out the window nothing matter and there were no consequences on what had happened past 2 seasons. A major letdown and a shitstain that will be left on a show that had insane potential….

I honestly felt betrayed. Me and my brother had bought beers and popcorns to watch the final episode knowing that it's titled "Ragnarok". But after the first 20 mins of the episode I had to constantly check how much run time is left and ask ourselves " can they really show the war in 30 mins...20 mins? 10mins? Oh god I had hoped atleast last 5 mins of it will be the war. But goddamnit I had been tricked into watching a teen drama. I don't think I've ever felt this betrayed. Now when I think about the show and it's character my chest aches. I'm a sucker for mythological stories, magic and epic fantasy stuffs even if they have so many discrepancies and plot holes. But this, this was traumatising. Sorry about the rant. I agree with you. I'm not a fivehead, but I reckon even I could have written better ending than this.

I was pissed at the ending.... To make it feel like magni to have all of this in his head royally pissed me off, extremely disappointed with the decision that they went with this. I waited an extra year-and-a-half to look forward to season 3 and they completely messed it up. I was looking forward to a showdown between magni and the giants. And it turns out that he was having hallucinations in his mind about the whole Town's folk... Which completely disregards the entire storyline that led up to it.

I can’t believe they ended it this way but because of how abrupt it was, I think they definitely must have had to scramble to wrap it up when they were canceled 😭😭 because the first couple episode I feel like they were definitely going a completely different direction, I mean the title card on the episode about Saxa seducing magne mentioned how his mistress has his son and with how they make Laurits literally birth the serpent, why wouldn’t they make her actually get pregnant? I think the only way they could have pulled off this ending is if they made it so after the truce they did a spell or something so that everyone would literally forget and magne would think he hallucinated all of it, but maybe they didn’t have time to film that so they didn’t do that????????? There’s no way they planned that as the ending from even the beginning of this season because they could have done it so differently to hint at it not being real. I think they must have had their filming cut super short or something because it makes absolutely no sense. In my mind this “ending” was just a spell to ensure peace between the giants and gods, and magne had visions of what the battle would have been had they not made the truce, and maybe everyone gave up their immortality for the truce so now they all have to forget to be mortal. It just makes absolutely no sense why they would, even in the beginning of the finale episode, show so much that happens without magne there, and things magne has no knowledge of being shown on camera? because if this show was truly all in magnes head we wouldn’t have seen that because he’s supposed to be the unreliable narrator, so how could we be seeing things that didn’t “actually” happen and magne didn’t know about so how could he imagine it and also surprise him? I feel like they must have filmed even most of the 6th episode (the battle, the scene of the kid shooting the arrow, the beginning of the graduation) with a completely different ending but then got canceled and had to pivot to that being the final episode. I blame Netflix for canceling them because if they had meant for this ending from the start, or even the start of this seasons production, I just know they could have done it so much better.

The moment it was shown like oh it’s all in the comics and his head just was a sucker punch to every diehard fan of the series

As a day one fan of the series I’m absolutely disappointed in how the series ended! I really can’t believe the writers did that I waited 2 years for this?!

Vidar's death? Saxa and Magne's relationship? His change of look, articulate speaking and seeing without glasses? EVERYTHING was on his head? Or just the final battle, for him to move on from Thor and be just Magne?

I don't think everything was in his head. All but final battle actually happened. Why would he even imagine things that extreme? Maybe he was not sure if everything settled down peacefully and was thus imagining what could happen further. The real battle from the beginning was between the giants and the people of Edda. As the giants accepted their wrong doings and changed themselves, things started settling and the situations calmed down. Also why on earth would giants agree to change their way of doing things if Magne wouldn't have put a battle along with others?

I just can't get over the fact that I waited 2 years for such a lazy and disappointing ending. The third season was okay until the ending came to ruin the whole show. Ragnarok deserved better.

I appreciate the effort video reviewers are putting into trying to take season 3’s ending seriously. I could not find enough material in it to treat it as such. It is straight up a mistake, period. Time-robbing, insulting to the viewers, insulting to the characters and the actors, undermining the meaning of everything they tried to establish beforehand so fully it makes even feeling angry about the ending feel like a waste of emotional energy. If they were going for “how can we write the worst ending in history”-congratulations, Netflix. You’re probably a finalist.

Only the final battle happened in his head. The rest happened in the actual world

I had a weird interpretation maybe. I thought maybe it was the schizophrenic thing. But in the moments when it’s being revealed that it was all in his head with all these cut scenes from the past, the boy Jutul (I forget his name) says how everything happens on a different plane of existence (if I recall correctly). So I thought that the gods and the giants powers and reality of that existed outside of the normal world , so they all existed in both. And the ragnarok visions were real, and it really happened. And the 9 steps he takes just kills the part of him that is Thor. And then he just returns to being normal old Magnus losing the ability to touch this other plane of existence anymore

When magne became power lusted it made since Thor in mythology was full of himself and seen the hammer as a person,neglected his family for the hammer too

Here's my take on the ending: Everything that happened in the show was real, and not just some imagination. Ragnarok came, but this time the Gods and the Giants chose peace. Magne, the other Gods and the Giants did feel their spiritual counterparts fight, seeing themselves dying in these visions. Thor did in fact die, along with everyone else, but the human representatives didn't thanks to the truce. During the graduation ceremony Thor left the body of Magne, leaving him to his own future. The same for everyone else. The comics were just a nod, that Magne was always meant to be a vessel for Thor.

2:45 I think he was carrying a regular ball peen hammer. Early in season 3 Turid says to Magne something like "You're carrying that hammer around everywhere, are you doing carpentry?" No sensible person would associate a giant mini sledge with carpentry. So my guess is that it was just a regular hammer, Like the family hammer he threw at Vidar's car in season 1. I can't remember if he ever got that hammer back though. And I also don't remember what happened to the fake Mjolnir he had the mechanic make. It really is super confusing. Like how did Magne kill Vidar and not get sent to prison. Maybe Vidar actually left on business and isn't actually dead? But Magne's self explanation was that he killed Vidar. I would love to see a supercut from the creators showing what was really happening but I know we'll never see that. And I absolutely love the cast but the people in charge seriously messed this up. I slightly had the ending spoiled for me and as I was watching I kept expecting to see Magne snap back to reality and he's been in a mental ward the whole time. And maybe all his friends were also checked in. And maybe Isolde was his nurse or w/e but she had to move away so Magne saw her die. And there were some hints to it all being in his head. In season 1 they diagnose him with paranoid schizophrenia. Turid tries to get him to take his medicine but he doesn't. Then that line they cut back to in season 2 where Laurits says "Maybe this battle is all in your head". I was really expecting to see Turid discover the god stuff and there would be a conflict where she would have to choose between Magne and Laurits and ultimately be unable to. Then Turid would be the one to bring Laurits and Magne back together. But Nothing even close to that happens.

“Is it really over??” Just finished season 3 and now I’m here… Definitely expected more in that last episode, was annoyingly confusing with that, in his head crap…. Feel like I just watched like season 8 of Thrones 🤦🏽‍♂️😭 this was such a great show tho. It’s a shame. GREAT VIDEO! you pretty much nailed EVERYTHING I felt in this last season and the ending definitely being the most frustrating part! So rushed and A wtf last episode as soon as I realized it was sadly over😢😢 I guess we’re supposed to just forget about the show now…..🥺

Just finished watching Ragnarok and I'm baffled and disappointed. The show starts with a woman touching Magne's forehead, making his eyes spark with lightning-hinting at this epic, mythological world. Then they spend two seasons building it all up, only for us to find out it's all just in his imagination? It makes that initial scene and the whole story nonsensical. It's a complete betrayal to the fans who invested in this 'realistic fantasy.' Honestly, it's like if Harry Potter ended saying it was all a dream. Absolutely frustrating and disappointing. For my own peace of mind, I'm treating the fifth episode as the real ending and erasing this final twist from my memory.

I don’t know. For me the key was to not take it too seriously . There were many flaws in seasons 1 and 2 that having this finale where maybe everything was in his head was not a bad ending.

Most if not all comments suggest they didn’t like the ending . However I loved it . Everyone did not see that coming which makes it great. Loved the scent where his fantasy merged with everyone else’s reality (the arrow shot). He was suffering with trauma over a death and imagined everything according to what he believed in his head . People here are having a tough time understanding this . Great entertainment.

In a world of what if's. What if we are looking at it wrong, what if when Turid starts talking the show starts going from her point of view. At the end is Magne realizing how fragile the peace was, and seeing what could happen.

After watching season 3 I cant even watch s 1 and 2 again like I did all the time up until s 3 came out, because the ending just ruined it for me. It was genuinely my favourite show, but now when I tried to watch it back, I can pick everything about the whole story apart because it just doesnt make any sense to me that it would all be in Magnes head. That is all I can think about. And the fact that the WHOLE series is leading up to ragnarok, and is littearly what its all about, makes it even worse that it didnt happen. Im norwegian, and absolutely LOVE norse mythology. Thats why this show held a really special place in my heart, because its much more mythologically correct than any other show or movie Ive watched with this mythology is, like the marvel movies. Watching the season finale absolutely RUINED me, because for three fucking years I was waiting for ragnarok to happen. I feel like ep 6 was just a lazy way to end everything, and has completely changed my adoration for this series. The ending suggested in this video would have been so much better than the one we got. This series meant more to me than I could ever put into words, but now my mindset about Ragnarok has completely changed, and it doesnt feel the same anymore. It really makes me devastated, and is why I feel so strongly about how it all ended.

I truly think the ending was showing us not that everything was in his head but rather that Ragnarök didn't happen the way that it was written. Magne's character isn't Thor, as much as us or the hammer would want him to be, which is what I thought the major message of the season was. There is no way it was all in his head, it wouldn't explain his grades, the tourists, etc. I think the ending was him letting go of Thor's story, his history and responsibilities (and maybe also the labels put upon him by his parents and teachers) etc. After he throws away the comics he really starts to live as Magne, not as Thor. Thor's story is over, but that is not the case for Magne. I feel like the ending is a lot more complex and personal than what a satisfying fight could have given us.

I actually loved the end. I was in shock but I felt it was really good and made sense with how goofy some of it was. It makes sense why no one else in town really knew about any of this going on.

That ending disappointed me so much. I was like wtf. Now there isn’t going to be a season 4 for sure. That ending was so not it.

One of the basic things is his eye sight. How can he suddenly not need glasses? And all the things that happened when he wasn't around? What if it did happen? And the graduation was his fevered dream as he was dying. I'm gonna think of it that way. I'm sad at the ending.

There is one way they could rescue this, if they were to do a season 4 and start it out following the Giants, and show that they had somehow done something to effect the memories of the Gods and the people of the town to make Magne think he was just imagining the whole thing.

I was really disappointed with the ending. I was hoping for everyone to slowly turning into Gods they saw themselves as in the previous seasons. I felt like they could have done a few more seasons to explain some of the other characters in norse mythology. It really did feel like they to wrap this up and were like fuck it this will do. It really takes me out of the show now

It's like you said: It feels like the screenwriters didn't know how to not let Magne die, as he should being Thor, so they escaped to the weakest solution there is: Ah, it was all only in his head.

I wouldn't be surprised if they had planned to continue the show past season 3, but Netflix wanted this to be the final season and thus they were forced to end it so weird and abruptly. It really did not feel like this was the ending that the previous seasons were building up to.

When watching the finale I didn't think it was in his mind and he was some psycho but my thoughts was Magne was thinking what could have happened if they didnt lay down they're weapons and this is what could have happened if they continued fighting which what we were shown on ep 6. Overall season 3 definitely started a avalanche of terrible writing

if i ever have enough free time, i might fanedit season 3. by writing new english subtitles, one can entirely change the dialogue, story, and character motivations. such a project would involve rearranging scenes and removing chunks of video that don't fit the story. (i'd need at least a year or two to work on it as a hobby and still take care of real-world responsibilities.) wouldn't even think of fanediting this if season 3 had delivered the awesome sauce the first two seasons seemed to be cooking.

they did the same thing twice. last season we had to wait for magne to get his shit together. and then we had to do that again this season. season three was truly a letdown.

What I liked about the ending is that I never saw it coming. Completely caught me off guard. Still processing whether or not it ruined it for me.

I was really disappointed in the ending. I agree with you on all your points. Aside from mentioning his “paranoid schizophrenia” it was never mentioned again and then that ending! It really ruined the whole series for me. P.S. I also thought It was weird that two high school students were running a huge company.

This really broke my heart honestly, how to ruin dreams and something built up to absolutely nothing 😢😢😢 nothing but a waste of my time, I was really invested into this and now I have just an empty hole. Netflix sure knows how to ruin shit. Very disappointed…

The ending pisses me off EVERYTIME I think about it! “It was all a dream” is such a bullshit way of wrapping up a story. It felt awesome the way it was moving, then they ruined it all. It’s like when you find something super interesting on Netflix then realize it’s a series.

The ending is simply not canon, even if it was not canceled, I dare to say the writers are wrong. I believe Magne got his powers before Isolde death, if it was in his head how he could have done a 90 min trail in 30 min, he would not have met the mechanic, I dont remember seing him read the thor comics before ep 6, and if he was so passionated with norse mythology since his youth, he would’t have needed to ask his teacher about it… And how did Vidar died by the way? If this truly was the intended ending, well the writers failed with the story that came before… There was no emphasis or build up on a psychological ending (he is just dyslexic!) , before ep 6 during and during season 3, with more and more hints and incoherence from our perspective that would make the great reveal explain everything …

Im going to choose to believe that the ending is what magne sees had peace not been achieved

the only thing i really loved about this series was Loke´s relationship and how he changed and became loving towards his mother again and he found friends and a bf. because i think the reason the worm was created was because he never felt loved and then created a child for himself.

Its endings like this that makes a show loose rewatchability. No reason to binge this series now.

I think it would have been a brilliant ending, if they had really eluded to him living in a fantasy world. They only had that one point where he visited a psychiatrist and got meds, but that was understandable, since no one would believe him to be Thor. The writers just wanted to write an easy ending. The same poo as GoT season 8.

I like to think that the ending of the show was episode five and think of episode six as kind of a what, if episode

I've just finished watching the final episode and I have to say I am really saddened by it. Something about this show touched me from the very first episode of series one, so I'm sad that it ended in such an incoherent way and with a such wasted opportunity. Don't get me wrong I'd have loved a storyline that saw Magne suffer a psychotic break as a result of the trauma of moving back to Edda and the death of Isolde - withdrawing into a fantasy inspired by his childhood comics - and would have been incredibly moved by the final ending reveal, but only if the entire show had been written in such a way than on rewatching with the hindsight of the ending, it would have been clear what the truth had been all along, which would make any rewatch very poignant and moving now really understanding what was going on. But as the review on this channel points out, that was absolutely not the case in the writing of this show and all I'm left with is confusion as to what bits were real and what bits were his delusions, and so it renders the entire programme empty. In addition as someone who has known two people whose lives have been devastated by schizophrenia the ending in which Magne seems to just choose to get better, symbolically shown by his throwing away the comics, leaves a very bad taste in the mouth. If only it were that easy! My disappointment and sadness aside, I'm grateful to this show for introducing me to a bunch of wonderful actors and the loveliness of the Norwegian language. I don't fault them at all and they did fantastically well in the final episodes with the scripts they were given. I hope to see them in lots more programmes in the future.

My interpretation is - He watching two different realities because that what he saw was destiny, but by his deeds he change destiny in present time. But maybe this explanation only in my head 😅

When I first watched it I thought it was just Magne being worried that Ragnarok would still happen as all the things that were supposed to lead to Ragnarok had happened and so he was just thinking about it

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.

I watched season one and two many times I loved it now I can’t watch it ever again never will I trust Netflix again the ending hurt me actually

They should add another episode that explain what happened exactly and answer some questions : Did magne really fight vidar? Dis he really threaten the Jutuls whith a weapon and is it the reasons why ran gave him better results ? Was laurits and the jutuls just trying to help stop his delusions when they were trying to take away his Hammer ?

The majority here may absolutely hate this ending, but it nailed me right in the heart, and it’s even more fitting that it was done by Thors hammer. Trauma plays a big role in our lives and while there are many who can get through it unscathed, there are people who can create whole worlds and different scenarios in there heads to deal with the pain or depression. I have experienced trauma in my life in a similar way but as an adult. I won’t go into detail about my trauma but I can say it hit me so hard that I saw things and imagined things that I felt were real and it was so intertwined with everything going on in my life at the time that it all made sense. I took a digital voice recorder everywhere I went only to find out that a month later when my life had somewhat got back to normal what I actually heard and saw must have been in my imagination because nothing I had heard in my recordings was there anymore. I don’t drink or do drugs and at the time I was Married with 3 kids and 2 jobs. Now looking back it makes me wonder what If I had experienced this kind of trauma when I was a kid, to suffer the loss of a loving father and then your best friend? So great show in my opinion and from my perspective in life. The only let down I have is that it needed a longer ending and some more clarity or flashbacks as to things that were really happening if and when he was imagining them just to give people those “Ohhhh that makes sense now” moments because honestly there weren’t any, but I still liked the show.
