“My imagination was always really sparked by the Norse gods ... Thor, Odin, an adventure story about love and redemption and revenge set in this amazing landscape,” Snyder told Netflix. “It just really made me want to dig in and get involved.”

Of course, this isn’t your storybook version of Norse mythology — Twilight of the Gods puts the “adult” in adult animation, as you can see in the red band teaser trailer. Executive producer Deborah Snyder said, “I think there’s an expectation when you see something that Zack Snyder’s involved with, that it’s going to have really great hardcore action and that it’s going to be sexy. For all the Zack fans out there, we needed to really deliver on that.”

DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANG!!¡!!!

 

[KyoZz]

Don't really like the animation but other than that it should be cool. Jay Oliva worked on this too.

 

[Puscifer]

Netflix is just so happy to have an A lister they're giving him the budget and freedom to do anything I see

 

[CGNoire]

The animation quality looks shit...it has a cardboard cutout quality to it...ugghhh.

 

[EviLore]

Looks like something made in Shockwave Flash for Newgrounds.

 

[WhamBamThankYouMaam]

Those animations are really, really not something I would watch for long.

 

[IDKFA]

Cringe.

Shit animation. Over the top gore. Childish dialogue and 'SEX!'........why do they need to shout from the rooftops that this has hard core sex scenes? This is about as lowbrow as you can get. Absolute gutter content that looks like something dreamt up by a 14 year old boy who just discovered porn.

Hard pass.

This

The animation is some of the worst I've seen in a while. And everything sounds so childish and try hard.

 

[Vyse]

Can someone please stop this man.

 

[poodaddy]

Looks utterly tasteless and uninteresting, i.e.: standard Zack Snyder fare.

 

[Fake]

2024 and we are still getting this low quality animations... damn looks so fucking bad.

 

[ResilientBanana]

looks terrible. to be expected.

 

[Renoir]

its like they tried to make samurai jack but with over the top.


primal was low res animation but it was a fun watch. Nothing deep, just action. they dont even tlak in the show.

Netflix Greek Mythology Blood of Zeus animation was a fun watch too, didn't catch the second season yet.

More bland streaming crap but this one has blood! lol. Like that hasn't been a thing in the west for decades.

I think I'm starting to love the outrage he creates through he's work more than he's work lately haha.

Can someone please stop this man.

 

[jason10mm]

I can NOT get ANY MORE ERECT! My THROBBING PENIS IS READY!!!!!!!!

Goddamn can't wait for this one, it'll probably be lame but it hits literally EVERY button I have

“My imagination was always really sparked by the Norse gods ... Thor, Odin, an adventure story about love and redemption and revenge”

-> 50kg girl protagonist. Never change Netflix.

Zack Snyder: Hero to Zero

I’m beginning to think this guy was always a hack.

 

[Tanus777]

That looks bad.

 

[FunkMiller]

The most emotionally stunted human being working in Hollywood today. He’s a permanent 14 year old child. It informs everything he does.

 

[Toots]

Looks like something made in Shockwave Flash for Newgrounds.

Or those somewhat interactive flash porn cartoons you could find in the 2000s
By the way "adult animated series" should always means "cartoon porn". Znyder being so immature, as FunkMiller miller rightly said, him using it is synonym of "Big boy cartoon with blood and some tits maybe but not too much because girls are gross".

 

[JCK75]

I take Snyders work on a case by case basis.. he's a perfectly good director he's just gotten full of himself and tried to take on the writing role which he is absolutely terrible at..

So I look and there are other writers on this so.. there is hope it would be OK.. until I look at who those writers are and what they worked on
Eric Carrasco - Supergirl TV Series (actually worse than anything Snyder has done)
and one other dude who has only worked in the art department with no previous writing experience....

This has a 99.999% chance of being complete garbage.

 

[K' Dash]

SEGGS!

I laughed when I saw that on screen.

The animation and style look good. I would prefer something like the newest Puss in Boots movie, but this doesnt look bad.

 

[8bitpill]

Look at that, a Netflix show that doesn't look like the Netflix Trash Fairy had its way with it.

 

[jason10mm]

I'm gonna laugh if halfway through Kratos shows up and kills half the cast.

Laugh even harder if JESUS shows up and does the same, then cry quietly because that's basically the truth of it, as echoed in the mournful (but rocking) tunes of Sir Christopher Lee

Oh, I'm sure they took it from this album

which came out in 2008. Probably where both got that "Twilight of..." association.

I think you may be right that album cover is certainly incredible.

Fuckin incredible album. Amon was at their absolute peaks back then. Got to see em live back in 2005, outstanding performers. The frontman was drinking beer out of this comically huge horn in between sets the whole show lol, didn't miss a beat either. It was also a unique performance as the drummer cracked his crash on stage and ended up borrowing a crash from Trivium's drummer, (Travis at the time), and it didn't really go with the kit well but it created an incredibly unique performance that only we goobers in Atlanta got to see for one night only.

Fuck man....that was basically twenty years ago.

 

[CuckooBananaNuts]

"SEX!"

Really?

Snyder of course got the name from Richard Wagner. "Götterdämmerung" (Twilight of the Gods) from 1876 is the final part of his opera cycle "Der Ring des Nibelungen" (The Ring of the Nibelung) that is based on Germanic myths just like Snyder's series.

A couple of Wikipedia quotes:
"The title is a translation into German of the Old Norse phrase ragnarök, which in Norse mythology refers to a prophesied war among various beings and gods that ultimately results in the burning, immersion in water, and renewal of the world. As with the rest of the Ring, however, Wagner's account diverges significantly from these Old Norse sources."

Man, these Bloodborne cameos are getting insane.

 

[Lord Panda]

Looks pretty decent though he can't help with his slow-mo addiction.

Damn, just listen to his range. So few vocalists, especially males, trying for this sound anymore and it used to be fairly common. Fuck I love operatic metal

 

[Toons]

I dont hate the art style but it looks a lite whimsical for what the subject matter is.
