The issue with Norse isn't Norse, it's that a lot media has done an awful job of exploring the depths of North mythology. It's not in the least bit all axes, frost giants, blizzards, and Thor.
Topographically Norse mythology covered an enormous spread of land inhabited by the Germanic people, from yes snowy mountaints but also rich green forests, raging rivers, oceanic fronts, and lush plains. North mythology in of itself is littered with arcane magics, usually deeply related to the natural world, such as the plants and animals to the elements and weather.
The actual scope of North mythology is literally multidimensional, encompassing several worlds that harken back to the origin of elves, dark elves, giants, dwarves, and heaps of other weird mystical shit. The passage of time is also a major theme, a psychedelic mix of weird multidimensional cosmology and non-linear time. A lot of modern fantasy tropes can be traced back to Norse mythology, and the themes explored in Norse are often done so with a dark, humorous wit.
Norse is terribly misshandled by entertainment, diluted to Vikings vs Frost Giants and dumb Marvel shit, and the depth of the mythology are criminally underutilised. There's a lot to love with Norse and if it's going to become a bit of a trend, stemming away from Arthurian legend, then I can only hope it'll finally be explored and appreciated as it deserves.
