History WMG / RickRiordan

After {{MagnusChaseAndTheGodsOfAsgard}}, the Myth Master may write:

* A Crisis Crossover between all the previous series (including the above suggestions) with a BigBadEnsemble of the main villains of MagnusChaseAndTheGodsOfAsgard and all of the above, as well as Tartarus and Nyx. Also, the deities of each mythology facing off against each other.

[[WMG: In the {{Riordanverse}}, God (who has been alluded to exist in it) is Rick Riordan himself]]

There will be prophecy that says to bring along an unknown character who after initially being taught to be demigod, is revealed to be just a regular mortal. It would make an interesting arc where they deal with being dragged into world that isn't even their own and struggle to be as useful as the demigods on the quest , who will most likely be either condescending or [[InnocentlyInsensitive over protective]], rather than a [[TheLoad burden]], leading to feelings of inferiority, before finding their own strength and self-worth.

[[WMG: Characters who will never die]]
Now that [[spoiler: Jason]] is dead and Riordan has proved that he's not above killing off main characters, here's who I believe he will never kill:
* Too popular, would cause the fandom to riot: Percy, Annabeth, Leo, Nico, Sadie, Alex
* Went through an entire arc where they learned to be nicer, happier people. Killing them off would make that development purposeless: Nico, Apollo, Alex
* There was an entire arc about saving their lives: Walt (and by extension, [[spoiler: Anubis]])
* Would contribute to BuryYourGays: Every LGBT character
Feel free to add or disagree, but give reasons for your choice.

[[folder:Guesses About The Upcoming ''Magnus Chase and the Gods of Asgard'']]
[[WMG:The villains will be the Jotuns, with Surtr as the BigBad]]
Of all the figures in Norse mythology, Surtr is one of the few who is both uniformly BAD and ''not'' a SealedEvilInACan. The story will take pains to show the differences between the Jotuns and the [[Myth/ClassicalMythology Greek giants]].
** Sorta confirm. Jotuns are shown to be of many different shapes and sizes and a lot of them have shapeshifting powers.
** Jotuns are a major obstacle, but Loki so far is the true villain.

[[WMG:Loki will be be an ally of the heroes... but not the gods]]
He's too obvious to be the villain. Instead, Loki will be a third faction, opposing both the gods and the giants. But rather than opposing the heroes, he will try to get them on ''his'' side. There will probably be a time (perhaps one book) where the heroes are largely working for Loki.
* Or, alternately, he'll be the RedHerring villain of the first book, similar to Hades and Set.
** Completely jossed. Loki is as against the heroes as he could be.

[[WMG:The heroes will set up their base of operations in the Bronx]]
The Greeks are already in Manhattan and Long Island, and the Egyptians are in Brooklyn. That leaves the Bronx, Queens, and Staten Island. Queens is adjacent to Brooklyn ''and'' between Manhattan and Long Island, so it's unlikely. And StatenIsland is something of a ButtMonkey.
* Jossed; the Norse will be based in Boston

[[WMG: there will be a comment about the Marvel Thor and Loki]]
It will go along the lines of 'I don't look like that, but the movies have empowered us beyond compare'
* Well, the books are being published by Disney Hyperion, and Disney produces the Marvel movies, so that would make it even better.
** And Marvel does exist in the 'verse. One of Jason's chapters in ''The Blood of Olympus'' compared Kymopoleia wearing her storm pan across her back to Captain America's shield.
** Confirmed, as great care is made to illustrate how the Norse Thor is ''not'' the Marvel Thor.

[[WMG: Rick Riordan will follow up on the Norse mythology series with a series on Myth/MesopotamianMythology]]
New York is quite literally the Land of Two Rivers - The Hudson River and the East River, both mentioned in the final {{Literature/Percy Jackson|and the Olympians}} book. And a Troper can dream, can he not?

[[WMG: The series will be followed up by a major crossover event]]
WORLD WAR MYTH!
** Maybe? The Greek and Norse universes are hinted at a crossover by the second ''Magnus'' book.

[[WMG: The "Curse of the Bambino" was a literal curse]]
Stemming from a dispute between the Greek and Norse gods over Babe Ruth transferring to the Yankees.
* Following on from this, a character will have a Red Sox cap that turns them invisible (hey, there's a helm of invisibility in Norse myth too, isn't there). If said character meets Annabeth, they won't get along.

[[WMG: Loki will be an UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom]]
Both Literature/PercyJacksonAndTheOlympians and Literature/TheKaneChronicles started by focusing on a typically villainous figure from their own mythology before revealing them to be GoodAllAlong and an UnwittingPawn respectively. Similarly, the series will begin with him setting off a set of events that leads to the BigBad beginning their plan.

[[WMG: The protagonists will be LikeBrotherAndSister]]
''Literature/PercyJacksonAndTheOlympians'' had Percy and Annabeth, who eventually became a couple (although it took them long enough), while ''Literature/TheKaneChronicles'' had Carter and Sadie, who were brother and sister. The Norse protagonists will be friends but very clearly NOT interested in each other. They will do the "blood brothers" ritual at a key point in the first book.
* Perhaps one of them just won't be [[AmbiguouslyGay interested in that sort of thing]].
* Largely confirmed: [[spoiler:Sam is already set up in a PerfectlyArrangedMarriage, and has shown no signs of interest in Magnus. A potential love interest for Magnus comes around in the second book in the form of Alex.]]

[[WMG: Magnus will be related to Annabeth]]
We are not given much information on Anabeth's stepmother or her mortal siblings. Plus there's the fact that they have the same last name.
* Well in the Blood of Olympus it's revealed she has a Cousin and an Uncle in Boston
* Confirmation of this in the preview by literal appearance of Annabeth is a reason the fandom has exploded

[[WMG: If Percy shows up in a crossover related to this series, he will complain about his pantheons lack of god killing snakes.]]
(Percy): The Egyptians have a snake that is supposed to eat Ra, you guys have a snake that is supposed to mutually kill Thor, why don't we have a god killing snake?
(Magnus or Nico): You say that like it's a bad thing.

[[WMG: The series will end with Ragnarok being narrowly averted.]]
This seems to be a running plot in all of his series' where that mythology's Armageddon almost comes true.
