OK, I should be really, really afraid.

I'm watching "Minoriteam" on Adult Swim. Quite possibly the most offensive thing ever. In it, one of the characters has been blown up.. all the way past Black Heaven into Nordic Heaven.

Valhalla, in other words. And they got the Aesir right. Thor has red hair and Mjonir looks right. Odin has one eye and ravens.

Why is it this really objectionable little cartoon gets it right and Marvel skill can't get a clue?

It's even the right eye that Odin is missing. heh

Marvel artists came up with the graphic designs for most of the Aesir they use way the hell back in August, 1962. Leaving aside that details were something that other people fretted over, never Marvel, they're kind of stuck with those designs for the unchanging gods. Doug, we ought to be glad they haven't decided to thrown down with a Ragnarok storyline and then fuck it up by wanting to still use all those characters afterwards.

Come to think of it, they may possibly have at some point.
