Then again, these aren’t even proper Vikings, they’re Anti-Tech Vikings, so it shouldn’t be surprising that they get stuff mixed up.
Or the author is trying to be viewer friendly by avoiding using the word “hell.”
Well he talked about dead babies so that theory doesn’t really fit. Just saying.
We’ve seen people dismembered and animals decapitated and disemboweled in this comic, I don’t think a reference to Hel or Helheim would be too problematic.
I don’t think the author’s trying to avoid dark topics. I mainly think they’re taking language discretion. You can have the entire action movie without having to get distracted by a single swear! I’m sure some kind of movie exists that features much gore but not a single instance of a swear. I think that’s what the author is trying to do. It’s like slapstick, there’s lots of crushing, crumbling, and cutting but no harm done, but in this case, lots of violence, no verbal context of misery or definite harm.
I hope Beatrice can get back to her bee presentation at some point.

Whadda buncha luddites.
So…
You’re using technology to defeat technology.
Sure, Jan.
Uh oh, it’s a dead baby joke.
It’s no joke. Wizards are serious business.
Luckily we figured out how to beat them decades ago.
Please protect yourself form the wizards.
I know this is a silly comic, but they don’t seem to be taking losing their children very hard. Feels off.
Do Vikings believe in Hades? I though that was the Greeks
Yeah, actually, that’s the Greeks. Vikings believe in Hel: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hel_(location)
