Fairy
tales and mythology have never been old-fashioned. In the movie series industry,
These subjects are worth gold. Some of the series below are the answer to the
question: What would happen If the fairy tale and mythology characters were
living in the modern world? Here is the answer:
Ragnarok / Ragnarök
The Ragnarok filmed 2 seasons in Norway one
of the Scandinavian countries and the next 3rd season is upcoming on 24th August on Netflix. The
epic “ Edda” and other Scandinavian
items are dominantly showing themselves. But of course, It is happening in modern
real life in Norway. Every episode will make you feel that you are watching a
movie. The plot and scenes are running like a river. If you are interested in Scandinavian
mythology then It is perfect for you!
Once Upon A Time
One of the most relatable fairy tale
series ever! The story is basically about the best-known fairy tales such as Snow
White, Beauty and Beast and Peter Pan. Imagine that all characters in fairy
tales that we have been listening to since we were kids are living in the same
world, in our street but they don’t know who they are but we do. We have a kid
called Henry and he knows everything but no one else. He is trying to help to
they remember all; who they are, and what happened to them. Characters, scenes,
plot everything is on flood. Give a shot for Once Upon A Time
P.S.:
Let me know who is your favourite character in Once Upon A Time ? mine? Absolutely
Rumple!
Goblin
Here
the next chapter is from Korea. Nowadays, Korean music and drama have risen.
One of the reasons for it is most probably because they are good at finding
plots for drama. Especially when it comes to mythology or fantastic dramas.
Here is one of them “ Goblin” As you know goblin is a mythical creature of Germanic
and British lands. It is defined as ugly, evil and green. But here We have a handsome,
charming and funny goblin. In drama, This charming goblin got punishment for
living more than 900 years. The aim of punishment is that seeing the people he
loves die. Until he finds the goblin’s bride he will be suffering. He needs to
find the bride because only the bride can take the sorrow off of his chest. Then
If he loves the bride so much? If the plot is not seem so watchable then trust
me for other characters you need to watch. Every character has another path in life
you will laugh or cry over it. For escaping from giving spoilers let's follow
the other section.
Attack On Titan
One
of the most popular anime ever! Many people criticise the anime for being slow
at plotting and loading the episodes but still one of the legendary anime. The
plot is basically about a war between Titans and human beings. Eren Yeager,
Armin, and Mikasa don’t forget these names because this trio is the main
stone of the anime. Anime’s main theme is inspired by Scandinavian mythology,
especially the creation of the world. To sum up the creation myth:
We have a main titan called Ymir. Her sons
throw her body to Ginnungagap. And they ate some parts of her body and turned
into titan-gods such as Odin. Other parts of her body turned into world parts
such as her bones into mountains, and her flesh to earth.
Anime
shows the challenge between human beings and titans. Who is going to win? The
anime is still on so even The author myself doesn’t know, If you read the manga
then you know already!
Merlin
Merlin
is an old tv series. As you guess from the name, it is about Arthur and Merlin.
When we compared it to its release date (2008) The effects, voice and scenes
are pretty fine. The story is pretty clear. You will see a basic plot of Arthur
and round table nights but with Merlin. Merlin is a human-wizard who is helping
Arthur to success in the tasks. Take note that you will be mad at Arthur a lot
in the series just because he is pretty annoying and arrogant.
