A spicy clash between Norse gods

It's another heated debate between the Asir and the Venir as they discuss their roles in human affairs.

Hosted by Dr. Moiya McTier & Dr. Emily Zarka, FATE & FABLED explores the stories and characters of mythologies from all around the world - why they came to be and how they impact us still today.

Fate & Fabled is produced by Spotzen for PBS Digital Studios.

This wouldn't have worked without such authentic costumes. Kudos to the designer.

duct tape foam axe - that sure brings back fond memories of larping in the 90s

That reminds me of the story of the time Odin desguised himself as an old man on a boat, just so he could insult his son when he asks for a ride on said boat.

Why not gardening AND violence?
Grow chili peppers!
Then things get spicy for real...

Ok but what happened next? I'm hooked! Where's the popcorn? Come on, you can't leave the skit there!

Very true. You would think the Aesir would be the baddies.

Hence why the Aesir are more well documented and known....

Aesir also inspire towards Wisdom, Knowledge, Fate, Destiny, Law, Order, Poetry, Art, Prosperity, Fertility, Guardianship, Healing and alot more.
Don't know what this is all about :/

Lol, altough there are some scholars (like Prof. Rudolf Simek) who are of the opinion, that the whole Aesir / Vanir thing is a translation error from Snorri - Look up The Vanir: An Obituary, it is an interesstin read

[GiantEagle]

So God of War and GOW Ragnarok was accurate in depicting the war between Aesir and Vanir. Marvel didn’t show this to us
