Thor looks like a calm and reasonable kind of guy.

I thought I hated him cause of what he did to the giants and other realms. It turned out he's not the problem. His father is. He became my fav character in ragnarok.

I like how Heimdall SAYS he isn't afraid of Thor, but that confrontation says otherwise.

MCU thor got nothing compared to this thor. This thor is so badass and scary. Strong af.

Thor is just like old Kratos. Following the orders of another God that eventually become an emotionless killing machine but this time Kratos was able to stop him before he became more of a monster

They developed Thor's character so well. By the last act it was beautiful to see him change. Think it was a mistake to kill him off directly after

A major theme of the Norse games is parenthood, particularly the relationship between parent and child. Thor is therefore one of the most interesting characters because he's both a parent and a child, we see him shaped by his abusive, manipulative father, we see him mourn his sons, and we see him try to do well by his remaining daughter. He parallels both Kratos, as a violent god beginning to reconsider his ways for the sake of his family, and Atreus, as the half-giant son of an impossible-to-please god. Had he not died, (or escaped death, as Kratos did many times) Thor might have followed in Kratos' footsteps and found balance the way Kratos has, though, like Kratos, it would likely have taken him quite a journey. (That said, having Einherjar Thor, Baldr, Magni, and Modi show up during the finale in some form would have been glorious and terrifying, no matter what role they played.) His father taught him his mind was worthless. He was Odin's weapon, his tool, and his only thoughts should be how to most quickly and effectively enact Odin's will. This is why Kratos challenging him to be more, to be better, both directly with his words and indirectly by his choices, enrages him. If he _can_ be more, if he _can_ think for himself, if he does get to choose to be more than a destroyer...how can he face what he's done? He wiped out an entire people, _his_ entire people, for Odin. He sent his sons to their deaths, at Odin's command. He nearly _killed_ his son, out of fear of disappointing Odin. He has to double down on what he's known, insist Kratos is the one making a mistake, that Kratos is wrong, otherwise he has to face the unbearable cost his thoughtlessness, and his father's abuse, has brought down on him and those he loves.

The way Odin groomed all his children: Giving Heimdall, the arrogant teenager, perfect sight and stroking his ego so that he worships the All Father. Poisoning Baldur against Freya through sheer bitterness, trying to learn the secret of his invulnerability, making him out to be the sympathetic parent, when all along he just wanted Baldur’s gift for himself. And then there’s Thor, half giant, cut off from his heritage by wiping out his own people, trying to win his father’s approval. And all the while, Odin made sure anything he couldn’t do to the giants of Jotunheim, he did to Thor, turning him into something that only existed to be controlled. It’s no accident his hatred of giants included himself. He really was Odin’s worst victim.

Gotta admit: Odin's got a badass man cave

I low key wish him and Kratos fought Odin together in the final battle

If only we had more screentime of him specially with kratos man ......

5:37 & 6:53 Whenever Odin comes near Atreus, Kratos grabs his axe! Never noticed that before

In the first game, he was depicted as pure evil, enjoying what he is. But he could've actually been a great father and husband if he didn't keep taking Odin's side

Heimdall's face when Odin says: "of course he means to betray me" is great! He was like: wait, you know? Then why?!

I absolutely love how they made Thor in the game, and designing him off how he really looked in the real norse mythology. Especially Ryan that voiced him was amazing at it as well. I say that this is the best Thor ever. Even better than the Mavel one

Thor is just a so fckn well written character. I love him for being so accurate to Norse mythology

Thor: don't you know WHAT I HAVE DONE? Kratos: Boi i massacred an entire pantheon.

The fight in the tavern is easily one of the best cutscenes in the game. You know the developers and choreographers had a blast mo-capping that.

Thor: can I come in? Me: hell no! you blew a hole through my roof! Thor: I brought mead Me: boy prepare the table

13:11 Knock it off 16:23 Thor reminds Atreus of what happened to his sons 22:23 Thor is drunk with Mead 29:55 I'll be fine 30:24 Thor pukes because Thor has drunked too many Mead 32:53 You kill my sons 34:03 The fight with Thor begins 36:40 Don't you know what I've done?! Yes! 38:21 Odin kills Thor

Thor had to see Kratos fight him like he was trying to save Atreus, just like Thor would have fought to save his sons. Once Thor had the measure of Kratos love (via fighting) he told him then his blood debt was paid.

If I remember, it was implied that Thor killed his mother. Which could explain the reason Odin treats him as such. I only wish the game could have explored that for more character development.

It's cute when Thor asks "Don't you know what I've done?". I mean, yeah you destroyed a race. Kratos destroyed a land. With all the people, all the gods, everything. Though Artemis and Aphrodite are still missing.

7:07 this is what went through Kratos' mind "the promise of the gods is as useless as the gods themselves", this is from God of War 2 when Zeus was stabbing Kratos to death. And he knows that "you can never trust the gods". To people hating Thor, keep in mind Thor is enslaved to Odin, just like how Kratos was enslaved to Ares and then the other gods of Olympus.

Drunk uncle thor was a stunning arc

Someone’s home got messed up by thunderstorms while you’re outside and you’re freaking asking them if you can come in.😂

I love at 13:30 during the interaction you can hear Thor’s theme bumping up its such a nice detail and it makes you think that Thor is the shit.

Odin: * give a long speech, negotiating for a "peace" with kratos* Kratos: NO this dude, I swear

I loved thor so much in this game, he was a badass, definitely my favorite after Heimdall. He was just a broken person, he was the reflection of young kratos, he is what kratos would have become if he did the bidding of the gods forever. He is just broken and wants redemption, he had a bad childhood and odin just treated him like crap, made him a drunk who cared about nothing but destruction and killing. He wronged his own sons and after their deaths he was broken even more. And when he finally decided to stand against his father it was too late. Damn I wished him and kratos teamed up against odin together, both of them having gameplay without atreus and freya in the mix and just comboing odin together, would have been sick. Loved him nonetheless. I don't Think I can have any feelings toward the mcu thor after this

Thor deserves redemption too

One of the best and most interesting characters of this 20-25 hour game and he has little over half an hours worth of screentime. He was the character i was looking forward to the most from GoW 2018 and we barely even get to see much of him. And as soon as he starts to show some progression, he's just gone.

The subtleties of Thor and drinking on a second viewing of this game are so good.

I have a feeling Thor's story isn't over.

14:50 Odin: THOR?! Get down here! Thor: All-Father. Me: JESUS CHRIST! Scared me too Odin, how tf did he do that?

I allways love how thor wanted to have a fair fight with kratos but you can see all the sadness and pain in his face like he just wants to retire but odin wont let him

These gods got humour 😂

35:44 OG Kratos sound effect

I wonder if Thor reminds Kratos of Hercules and that's why he holds back so much in their fights. He sees in Thor the same manipulation by Odin that Zeus was to Hercules and wants so much to break Odin's hold over him

look at kratos health bar, thor really killed him, ressurect him and give him half health

11:57 thor definitely felt that punch...

I've said this in a different video, but I'll say it here as well. Because it's fitting. Hmm. Maybe an interesting observation. Kratos taught Atreus always to think and be logical. Thor, inadvertently, taught him to feel and not always think. Both of those things are makings of both a great warrior and a great person. Kratos taught him to be cautious and use his mind. Thor taught him to trust his instincts and use his gut.

Thor was awesome. Abs those first few scenes hit way different when you know his backstory…

6:21 *Atreus takes Mimir out of his hiding place* Thor: He lost weight Me: And you haven’t, Thor?

Seeing Kratos and Thor fight makes me think of what Kratos would be if he was born in Midgard instead of Sparta

I get why they did it, but I cant not be disappointed that they killed him in the end. I really like his character development and it’s sad that he won’t be shown off (unless they somehow revive him)

You know Thor kind of looks like Robert Oberst (strongman competitor) not only in body structure but their faces too, hell even their voices are not that different.

13:36 thor : look into my eyes ghost rider : oh no you don't...tell me u didn't just say that

I Didn't Want Him To Die To Be Honest.

the riff that plays when thor starts walking toward the house says a million words

It wouldn’t be a Viking race if they didn’t have a good ol bar fight😂😂 that was epic

I honestly think his death is the most tragic. It upsets me more than anyone else's. He seemed like he had the potential to be a real decent and loving person if he weren't so terribly abused all the time (the way he talks to his wife behind closed doors and touches her so tenderly, his obvious love and care for his daughter's safety while still prioritizing her life goals, his rage over his sons' deaths, his... I'll call it charisma frankly because his humor is charmingly dry). If not for Odin, he could have been a good god the whole time. And now, because of Odin, we'll never get to see him become one.

it’s a little weird to me that if i recall this mjolnir is not sealed to where only the worthy can lift it but it’s just really heavy, but if that’s the case how does it sit so fine on Kratos wood table without breaking it when Kratos who can smash boulders can’t stop it, but only slightly redirect it

I hate that thor dies, he goes through a genuine redemption arc learning to stand up to the very reason he's a destroyer and he dies for it.

0:25 When my grandpa orders a pizza but also has dementia

i just love how kratos blocked alcohol from atreus

sif : "odin sent our sons to their death, he doesnt want to protect or even care about us, what if thrud's next?" thor : *pointing mjolnir at atreus "you..." sif : "dammit thor"

I know that some of you were expecting Thor to lool like the one from Marvel, but I don't blame you. Now, let us enjoy this version of Thor and learn more about the Norse Mythology while Playing this great game, shall we?

Did anyone else notice Thor’s aversion to thinking? During the bar fight, he said “thinking too much.” also, when he & Atreus went on a mission to recover the mask piece, every time Atreus would mention thinking Thor would tell him that him thinking was a problem. Just for the end, Odin to tell him “You don’t think. I think. You kill!” excellent writing

I dead just figured out what Thor was gonna do to Heimdall. He was gonna gonna choke him with his left hand, rip off Heimdall’s arm with his right hand. Next he was gonna take Atreus’ arrow ( while still in Heimdalls severed hand) and gouge out his eyesballs and eat them. Heimdalls a mind reader hence him dropping the arrow and THEN proclaiming Thor to be a sick man -BillyWolfgang

22:23 I don't know about your dad but all of the scene with drunken Thor in the bar gives me flashbacks. Strikes hard. Seeing the greate man like this. Shame. I wish I talked more to him.

Odin first showing up to see Heimdall and Loki is always so funny. "GASP. Loki is that true, you're a little trickster?" And then Odin forgets that he only has the one eye when he turns to talk to Heimdall so his depth perception is screwed 😂😂

My mum leaving my bedroom, thinking I'm gonna do my homework: "Don't take all day..." Me to my schmeat: "... 'Bout time." *SMACK*

oh man i really hoped Thor would have survived. So that he could finally redeem himself infront of his family. i know he kinda did that by going against odin and listening to Kratos. but they deserved much more time with a redeemed Thor.

to tell an alcoholic that they’re “no fun anymore” after they quit is one of the most fucked up things someone can say, let alone a father to his son!

thor's facial expression is awesome his eyes movement

If Kratos enters the MCU realm and sees Thor Kratos:hmmm Thor you lost weight Thor:uhhhhhh

Thor is such a complicatedly great character, very human and relatable. I hope he returns in the games in some way

If in the next game we get the story of the rift and the "God-heaven" we could have Thor back

I’m sorry but odins line at 15:02 made me laugh 😂😂

Stealthy side of beef..... i cant see that scene enough where thor sneaks up on odin and scares him.

🎶 thinking too muuuuuuuch🎶

Kratos would've taken the deal, I think, were it not for Odin mentioning Freya. In Kratos' eyes, Freya was his problem, not Odin's. Up to this point, he only had anecdotes to go by for what kind of person Odin is, and he wasn't personally involved. As soon as Odin self-inserted himself into Kratos' inner circle, which included Freya, regardless of her rage, that was when he distrusted him.

Thor sounding like Thanos sounds very cool

the first fight with thor really was the best fight of the game

"Thor, get down here." "All-Father." Funniest scene in the game

As much as I hate Odin.... Sif is just as manipulative. Guilttripping Thor over and over again. For all I can see Thor was aware off how dangerous it was to stand up to Odin. So he was stuck between a rock and a hard place. In the end it wasn't Sifs arguments or Thruds pleas that won him over. It was Kratos, who had sacrificed his destructive nature for the sake of his son, that got throu to him.

in the background when thor & kratos meet for the first time. huginn & muginn can be seen discussing where mimirs head is

I don’t know if anyone else noticed this but at 8:37. There’s this odd moment where the character slide in a position for a cutscene. You see it a lot in the fights with Baldur in the previous game. But now the Developers made them almost impossible to spot by blending it with characters making fast movement like how Kratos swung his shield before pushing Thor into a wall. It just amazes me for some reason

I noticed that Thor uses Mjolnir with his left hand and not his right which was a nice detail

Odin has 0 fucking hesitation killing his own son the second he stopped being useful he really is the ultimate bastard And THEN proceeds to blame everyone else for it.

I like how when he stops heimdall u can here his fight music like he’s bouta kick his ass

13:12 now that is fucking scary

Is it me or God of War has more jokes in it cuz Thor made me laugh gettin his hammer out the tavern 😂😂

When watching this for the first time (12:26) I thought that we could finally see the true power of old kratos… gues we will never see that happening I just want that raw power and strength to come out of him

First encounter Kratos lands 6 ineffective hits. Second encounter Kratos hits Thor twice and had to hold on to Thor. Those two hits were quite effective.

Also, we must appreciate Thor's bravery. He knew what Kratos did. Kratos was a legend even in the Norse pantheon. We can assume that Odin didn't dare go to Greece as he knew those gods had powerful magic and weapons,etc. Yet thor still approached kratos. No fear. Knowing exactly what kratos did to the greek pantheon and some titans. Odin was so obsessed with prophecy that he led himself and his son to their deaths

This Thor vs. the Game of Thrones Mountain, now that's a fight

Stealthy side of beef hahaha how did I not catch that in game??

They make kratos look so small in god of war Ragnarok😅

Atreus just picking up the cups and drying the floor up from the spilt mead while this is happening

13:41 Thor: you tell me -looks at the arrow- i feel like he was gonna put that arrow where the sun dont shine XD

I’d drink Mead with Thor anyday of the week

I would have loved to see a sngry full power kratos with the same mentality as young kratos from GOW 3 dominate thor and Odin

Sif is pointing out how it's Odin who is the problem... but Thor still goes after Atreus lmao Shows the recurring theme of people not handling their grief properly

Kratos sees himself in Thor, when he sees Thrud, parallel to himself of being one's ( ares) destroyer . That's why he wants to convince Thor in the end.

14:49 one of my favorite scenes

It looks good

Imagine three Gods giving you angry looks 💀

The way Kratos looked at Atreus is way my dad use to look at me when I hit him on the back of his ankles with the shopping cart 🤣🤣
