This is pretty much a constant with nearly everything in the series. Check out the name of the Trolloc clans if you ever get the time.


i'm well aware of the trolloc clan names, but at least they sort of make sense in a certain perspective. devil, demon, etc etc. the naming of arthurian characters with basically very little deviation from their established character personalities is also a bit blunt, but i've learned to deal with it over time. i guess it's a matter of hoping for a parallel storyline to be told a bit more subtly. as the famous saying goes: "good writers borrow, great writers steal". if the story is going to be rewritten, it should be rewritten, not just cliff-noted as seems to be the case with mjollnir.
