Ragnarök is the end of this world, as we know it, before the beginning of the next, in Norse mythology.
Ragnarök is when all the Norse gods and giants and other adversaries meet in a giant clash and decide how the end will be.
It's so cheap and cheesy to use that word when they clearly don't know what it stands for. Boooooo!
Never ever gonna watch this oh so bad excuse for a movie.
Well, they're using the term loosely. Like how many films use the title "Armageddon" but have nothing to do with the bible. In the Norse Ragnarok myth, Thor has his final battle with Jörmungandr , and this film is about a Jörmungandr like creature, so it's kind of, sort of related.
shareSo they used a word wrong in a movie. That's just horrible, how dare they. It's a kids adventure movie, not a documentary. Don't take it too seriously.

You're reading me wrong. I'm just irritated US movie makers always think it's OK to tamper and change old myths and other stuff of recorded religion, just because it fits their versions. Also, some so called "historically based" movies about real happenings from WW2 for instance is actually changed only because they need it. That's *beep* appaling.
shareRagnarök, depending on the translation, actually means "fate of the gods" or "the destruction of the gods"; nothing in this compound word refers to the world.
And before you go off on your next little tantrum about "US movie makers", check the vowel to consonant ratio of the names involved in the production. It's at the top of the page. You know, the part you scrolled past to get to the board link. And you can also check the companies involved in the production (another link you sailed right past).

Read me, judge me, but don't look down upon me.You make that rather difficult, considering how fast you were to disparage (erroneously!) US movie makers. And especially when you toss out a little pearl of wisdom like this:
Never ever gonna watch this oh so bad excuse for a movie.
This is more like Beowulf III.
Beowulf -- the fight against Grendel
Beowulf II -- the fight against Grendel's Mother, in an underwater cavern
Beowulf III -- this film
Pretend something clever is written here.
