Insect Wars: Dark Zone or Light Universe?

A little off topic:

The names “Brunnen-G” and “Brunnis” have always reminded me of the UrðbrunnR and MímisbrunnR of Norse myth. It recently occurred to me that there is a discernible parallel between Mímir, keeper of MímisbrunnR, and the Time Prophet. MímisbrunnR was the Well of Knowledge. Óðin travelled to one of Yggdrasil’s roots and gave his right eye to Mímir for permission to drink from MímisbrunnR. When he did, he received knowledge of the past, present, and future, including the fact that he was destined to die at Ragnarök. I think this is kind of like Kai getting knowledge of the cycles of time from the Time Prophet, and maybe it inspired it and maybe “MímisbrunnR” inspired the name “Brunnis” (just cut off the first 3 letters and the final algiz and rearrange the remaining letters slightly).

There are other parallels. Time in Norse mythology was sort of cyclic, since it was believed that after Ragnarök the ranks of Æsir and Vanir will be decimated to make way for a new set of gods in the new universe. Also, Mímir was decapitated by the Vanir, but didn’t die. His head survived, and Óðin would carry it around with him, and it revealed many occult secrets to him. Inspiration for 790? Then there’s the fact that another name for Óðin was “Þódin,” which was pronounced like “Thodin.” Thodin had one eye, remember? And the Cluster Lizards roll with the jaws clasping the tail, the position of the MiðgarðsormR (the Norse Ouroboros).

I guess the point I’m trying to make, here (besides the fact that I can reproduce diacritical accent marks on my computer) is that one of the Beans may be a mythology buff, and may have been influenced by Norse myth in the creation of the [i]Lexx[/i] movies. Or it could all be a coincidence, I don’t know.
