* AnticlimaxBoss: Basically ''all'' the villains end up this way. The Jutuls [[spoiler: peaceably talk things out with Magne and have buried the hatchet in the finale -- no big battle here.]] The Midgard Serpent [[spoiler: just disappears into the ocean offscreen, never getting into any sort of big monster battle.]]

lightly. It doesn't help that the climatic battle between the Gods and the Frost Giants [[spoiler: only takes place in Magne's vision intercut with his graduation. The anticipated action climax still technically appears onscreen, but doesn't even happen in real life.]]

* FollowTheLeader: The series clearly takes some clues from the Creator/MarvelComics and the Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse version of [[spoiler:Thor and Loki -- starting with them being brothers. In the myth, Loki is Odin's blood brother instead. Also with Magne aka Thor being blond and tall, and Laurits being the smaller, dark-haired, smarter, younger brother. Many have also pointed out that Laurits looks like a younger Creator/TomHiddleston.]]

* NarmCharm: [[spoiler:Mysterious seer]] Wenche is almost never seen wearing anything other than her work clothes, which includes a shirt with the logo of Spar (a huge supermarket consortium with stores all over Europe and Scandinavia) on her chest. It should ruin any scene she's in, but somehow it just makes her appear even more badass instead.

** And much like [[spoiler:Loki]] in Norse Myth, it's an even bet if Laurits will decide to be helpful or harmful to Magne at any given moment.

* {{Fanon}}: Basically everyone who watched the series theorizes that Laurits is [[spoiler:Loki, the god of Mischief.]] While it is never confirmed in the series, it is ''heavily'' hinted at:
** Laurits often behaves mischievously such as agreeing to help correct Magne's essay if Magne in return does the dishes, and then completely ruining his essay.
** [[spoiler:Loki in Myth/NorseMytology is a Jotun.]] When the Jotul siblings start to dance at the party, Laurits joins in, instinctively knows the dance moves and most notably his eyes change to the same supernatural yellow.
** In [=S1E3=], the Jutuls invite Magne and Laurits over to dinner, where Magne eats and drinks a lot. Norse Mythology features a story in which [[spoiler:Thor and Loki attend a meal with the Jotuns and take part in eating and drinking challenges.]]
** Trym, the Jutul's dog, also seems very comfortable around Laurits despite behaving rather feral otherwise. In Norse Mythology, [[spoiler:Fenris the wolf is Loki's son.]]
** At the Constitution Day event, Laurits bleaches his hair blond and dresses up as Ran. In Norse Mythology, [[spoiler:Loki dressed up as and shapeshifted into a woman at several points.]]
