Talk:Source of all living matter

Nidhogg
I have something that I think might be worth adding to the trivia section of the article. The worm creature seems to share similarities and parallels to the creature Nidhogg from Norse mythology. Upon digging deeper, I found quite a few connections that I'm starting to think Isayama might have taken inspiration from Nidhogg when creating the worm. It's not too much of a stretch, considering the series contains numerous references to Norse mythology. I believe it might be worth at least adding a mention in the trivia section. Since the article is locked though, I decided to first run it by here in the talk section to see if it was okay with everyone. This is what I have in mind for adding to the trivia section:


 * The form which the "source of all living matter" takes and the manner in which it was found by Ymir may be a reference to from Norse mythology. In Norse mythology, Nidhogg was a monstrous dragon or serpent who gnawed at the roots of the world tree, just as Ymir had come into contact with the "source of all living matter" after falling into the space underneath the massive tree in which it resided. Nidhogg was also associated with the Norse concept of , a term for social stigma relating to the loss of honor and status as a villain, a fate which mirrors Ymir's demonization by Marleyan propaganda after her death.
