a tale of good vs. evil coincidentally released just after 9-11
I get annoyed with how they keep referring to that. They say it like it was on purpose, not just coincidence.

The historically minded will remember that the Natzis loved this mythology. The whole of teh Third Reich was awash in runes, lightning bolts and Valkyries riding. Yet Adolph Hitler discredited these sagas when he went off to his own 'Gotterdammerung' in 1945.
Okay...did that just come out of nowhere? Or did I miss something?
