That would be Asatru. And the answer is that most Asatru I know are fans of science fiction and fantasy, and though they / we may grumble about "bad lore," the truth is we recognize that Germanic Neopagans are a minority of a minority of a minority, and that most people see our Gods as amusing stories; we're happy just to see Odin (and Thor and Loki and so on) not completely forgotten by mainstream culture, even if they are only remembered through a bad lens.
