Cool blog, dude. You really dove into it. Remnants of other cultures make up the amalgamation that all current cultures live in. why do you think that Norse culture in particular is one that becomes so easily idealized in pop culture?
ReplyDeleteThanks, man! Like I stated in your blog, I definitely think it has to do with the heroic stories about overcoming adversity. In many Norse stories, the protagonists face impossible odds, but with manliness, pride, and a little help from the faeries now and then (wait, how did they get in there?), justice will always prevail! It's a great basis for any manly story. :3
