Eleanor, what is it and what does it represent? voice-verified

Can I uh uh ask um first of all some clarification questions? voice-verified

I mean, f f people when they hear Ragnarok, they will automatically think of Marvel because they did such an extraordinary job of uh recreating sort of Thor and Loki and Asgard and Ragnarok is the destruction of Asgard. voice-verified

What what is Ragnarok? voice-verified

Did you have people wearing voice-verified

Crosses and or Thor's hammer. voice-verified
