Let down tbh

A lot of people are disappointed by it they expected something like asgard from Marvel universe

@@nicholasrodriguez4990 they don't know what the real Asgard looks like

@@nicholasrodriguez4990 For me It’s mostly because mt Olympus was bigger and looked cooler so i was expecting more

So is more satisfying to kill him lmao

It worked

That's an Iduun apple. It's their godly supplement basically lol

His father taught him well

Any loot for a guest - that's hospitality I understand)

They're vikings, stealing isn't exactly an issue.

@@foolslayer9416 hmmmm, now if only you could go back in time, steal from a viking and tell us what happened... But then again "dead men tell no tales"

Well, it wasn't nailed down.

But Odin power didn´t come from for that, first he was the strongest warrior, a crazy guy who loves to go on adventure, only with age he got mature and interested in knowledge and runnic magic, he got an obsession with knowing all, and do creepy stuff to achieve it.

@@mytotim8978 And yet remained the strongest of the Aesir until his dying moment. For all his might, Thor was never powerful enough to defeat his father in battle.

@@tek512 Agreed, let’s not forget he killed Ymir. In the myths he had his two brothers to help him idk if that’s the case in the GOW lore, either way he had enough power to create Midgard and the realms from Ymir’s corpse.

@@mytotim8978 in the game odin says when he was young god he killed ymir he was Adventure filled man. But he got old and started magic and wisdom. Norse Gods are not immortal they eat apples of iddun to live long lives

Odin is a *god of war*. However, his domain also includes sorcery, knowledge, secrets, strategies, and of course, deception. That should give you an idea how he operates.

I saw a video that was examined how Odin manipulates and says it most likely an example of Odin trying to humanize himself

It's more about being impolite and moving to another position during a conversation and when the person addresses you again you aren't there anymore.^^

Odins eye was facing Heimdall, most likely it was merely theatrical

@@jonathanj2666which fits with his character, he’s a massive bullshiter

He don't seem to serve Thor to me

@@davidkosiba624 "Serve" isn't really the right term ig. More like "doesn't mess with."

It's also a reference to how much Heimdall and Loki dislike each other in the original Norse mythology.

Makes me think what he saw when he met Kratos

Good point. But if he calls Thor a 'very sick man', then why did he call Kratos a monster? I know he's done way more brutal kills, but what was he thinking?

it's like an internship lol

Reminds me of Palpatine and Anakins relationship

@@donlalo2002 strikingly similar.

@@TimeCircleBlue let's hope Loki doesn't get to the part where murders....... y'know

"Were you planning on killing me first thing?" Atreus: -_- Me:@_@ YES?! Odin: See? Me: TF? Odin a little to lenient for one one of his killers XD

His voice is so soothing

I think that's the biggest danger, i remember seeing him and being like "that's Odin?" But then you remember all the stories in the previous game and realize that Odin is a threat

Same thing with Thor kinda

@@funnyhaha7131 with all the statues of a buff man, last thing you’d expect would be a drunk with a giant beer belly.

My family lol

Heimdall is just being mean to Atreus. In the myth, Heimdall and Loki had more like a rivalry, and both kill each other at the same time

West wing…..

I was literally thinking the same thing. Odin is like a charming politician that uses people for selfish goals and ultimately cares about nobody, and Thor is an *extremely* blue-collar version of the Olympian-Era Kratos. Heimdall? He's that guy you can't wait to get what's coming to him because nobody that petty should be allowed to continue breathing.

@@sodreir.8666 that's what Loki wants you to believe

Agreed, I really liked how this is pretty much the first mainstream work that shows Heimdall and Loki's rivalry.

Yeah. I don't think Thor particularly liked beating his son Modi for cowardness. But that's his culture

This is one of the best parts of the game, it really makes you sympathise with the characters that are supposed to be your antagonists. But you also don't spend too long with them. This is something TLOU 2 tried and struggled. I think TLOU 2 almost pulled it off, because you kinda sympathise with the members of Abby's group as you walk around their camp, greet their dogs and stuff, and the kids you rescue from the cult are also nice. But at the same time the player has just gone on this massive quest to kill all of Abby's friends as Ellie and then is immediately thrown in to the other side's perspective, it's kinda jarring. You're also still recoiling from Joel's death, and the whole message of ending the cycle of violence and revenge is undermined by the fact that Abby and Ellie have both been doing the exact same thing the entire game up until the very last moments, whereas Kratos has been conveying this message throughout the entire game, and only when Brok is killed does he turn back to war. Imagine if Kratos dies at the beginning of GoW ragnarok, you're not going to want to see Odin's perspective and the player themselves are going to want to get revenge no matter what so the message of "ending the cycle" won't sit well with people, which is exactly what happened in TLOU 2.

Sometimes, venom is warm in the veins

@@zorroaster8895 finally some good explanation about how bad TLOU 2 is.

@@zorroaster8895 Now I wish I could have heard Joel say as he was dying to Ellie, "We must be better"

Yeah there are a ton of subtle red flags in most of Odin's interactions with everyone in just this sequence alone.

Even before that he called his grandsons useless in the first conversation with Kratos.

@@ym5891 “Baldur had value” always struck me an unbelievably cold. What a shitty way of looking at people.

@@Garbageman28 Odin is a sociopath, and the worst kind. One with a will , knows how to manipulate people, and only cares about himself. He will sacrifice family like pawns on a board, if it means securing an alliance with someone more “useful” to him.

@@Garbageman28 Seriously. He only sees people based on what they can give him, he'll be extremely good to them until he has gotten what he wants. Then, he'll cast them aside. A person only has meaning to Odin when they can be utilised to achieve his goals.

as a hobby too! in the words of mimir himself, there was no end to his creativity when it came to torture everyday, for 109 years

yall forgetting what he did to freya.

@@Lonelyweirdo96 or an autobot, robot in disguise

Exactly. He grows on you.

It's cause we expect Odin to be like this scary rich overpowering force of authority even stronger than Thor physically until we learn his actual nature and how he uses his resources to rule Asgard

The first scene we saw him is perfect. Odin is an unassuming old man with a cape seemly too large for him yet he casually talks to Kratos about the death of his family in a very business-like manner, not to mention how he asserts dominant over Kratos *and Thor* by drinking the mead Thor poured despite being a guest.

@@potatochicko Odin is a God associated with War in the Norse Mythology, though. And before he sacrificed his eye for knowledge and hanged himself from Yggdrassil, he was a crazy strong bastard who waged many wars. He shouldn't rely on magic alone, he was strong long before that.

I really don't like the design. Doesn't feel like an Odin at all. While I'm at it, why did they make Thor so fat? Please don't tell me they took some inspiration from Marvel or something...although I do like how he's a red head like he actually was though and not blonde like everyone usually depicts him.

Really selling that "Oh I'm just a feeble old man who means no harm"

@@Jeremiah_D. that’s what I thought too, he for sure knew where Heimdall moved to and made a show out of it

Really? Because I just assumed he did a whole turn because Heimdall stood on his blind side lol

He _does_ only got the one eye...

@@gabrielclark1425 Yeah but his eyepatch is on the other side to where Heimdall was.

Yea, we could have seen that in every god of war game

Flawed? Every God in the series was an asshole or even worse

Yeah. While Zeus was very cool and had a copl boss fight and design. He was very generic and had no depth and barely any screen time. Same for Ares and the other Greek gods.

@@frogglen6350 depth is not always needed

​@@WizardIllustratorApperantly you don't understand good writing or something. What we suppose to mistrust and disrespect others at will or something.

I agree. You want to hate them but Both characters are extremely cunning and captivating. It’s hard not to be intrigued with how they bend the world around them to their will even if the tactics used are cruel.

@@Mmmkay.. “You want to hate them…” speak for yourself, I love characters like this instantly!

@@MegamodeltaV2 don’t get me wrong I loved Tywin lannisters character. Esp the actor that portrayed him, he was in another movie I liked the imitation game.

Idk Tywin never really had ulterior motives he was always very straight farword about his goals to make his house great.

Imagine if they cast Charles Danse as Odin instead

He looks weak but maybe it’s to make him look less intimidating while he is really intimidating

@@artsworstenemy8956 in the lower and mythology he's more of a old crone, wise king, his warrior years are behind him, he's now collecting knowledge and trying to prevent ragnarok. Just like in the myths.

@@artsworstenemy8956 where did you all got the notion that Odin is supposed to be intimidating?

@@Noctuam734 well he’s the god of all gods in there realm. And a notorious scum bag to anyone non Aesir and even to some Aesir. So I suppose. Norse mythology.

@@cloberlobster2276 yes but he’s still intimidating. .-. Knowledge is a power all in itself

Rapunzel 2.0

Technically, Sif was written before Repunzel

She’s built brother, I fell in love at first sight.

Both thrud and Sid are baddies

Nah Sif is lucky to pull Thor

Also it seems that wasn't even Heimdall's intention, as he is smirking at Atreus at first, and when he realises that Odin is acting all confused as to where he is, his smirk fades like "Really, Allfather? You're doing the feeble old man shtick?"

@@Wurzelknecht i thought so too

No actually he looked because it's the same way he turned to ask him why's he covered in mud

@@WurzelknechtI think it’s unintentional I think it’s was a joke to evidence the fact that Odin has only one eye

Really breaks character from the game itself.

@@93hothead How is that break character if that was his character at the start?

@@garvielloken9356 on the Sony presentation of the game, they talk about how they wanted to make the character's feel like they exist in the realm. Having Odin behave like a 2022 modern marvel MCU character immediately ruins the world building, even if the writers intend him to behave like that. Because it does not fit the world the characters are in.

@@93hothead it does because they implied Odin is like this because of all the knowledge he has gathered….he is way way beyond his time mentally

Nah. I disagree, he feels like someone not of that culture who's given the top dog status without ever backing it up til now, kinda the opposite point of Odin.

I like how you call mythos a "lore"

@@zanotellitb5457 lore definition: a body of traditions and knowledge on a subject or held by a particular group, typically passed from person to person by word of mouth. "the jinns of Arabian lore" Sounds about right no?

@@Alan_Masters21 jeez save some for the crows

@@Alan_Masters21 lmao, stating the definition doesn't mean you're right. Myth/mythos is not synonymous to "lore", it is a completely two different concepts that tackles different scopes of a historical "myth."

@@emvisuals but...He is right.

Looks more like a war camp or a stronghold, pretty appropriate if you ask me.

I was expecting it to be like AC:Vahalla's Asgard tbh, on par with Mount Olympus

Asgard was kind of a dump tbh

At least it looks cozy

MCU really clouded our minds when it comes to asgard's image

You would think, but apparently when the Romans went to try to conquer Norse lands, they equated Hermes/Mercury to Odin. Still get what you mean though; guy has that kind of smug aura

Pretty much as his thing is being fast and being hard to hit

Nah Heimdall got Hermes beat at the douche awards. I don't think this franchise has a bigger asshole than Heimdall.

@@AngryHomunculus The Romans never made it to Norse lands, as a matter of fact, Norsemen did not quite exist yet. However, the Romans never made it to Scandinavia but instead conquered their Germanic siblings to the south who shared the same faith.

At least he gets to keep his legs lol

Like that Blind guy from Mob Psycho 100

He dies is such a glorious fashion too

Odin kills him to prove his loyalty to Loki it’s crazy

@@boogereater69 jesse, what the fuck are you talking about?

@@boogereater69 ???? Kratos is the one who killed him

And he certainly acted like a "Nice Guy" with Skadi: Odin was superficially polite with Skadi in hopes of getting into her skirt. But Skadi was not interested and rejected Odin, so Odin got violent by tricking her into murdering her father.

Right. Heimdall looks like a fratboy in a Halloween costume.

@@KermitOfWar i mean he is a teenager around Trud age, kind of hard to make him look scarier.

Yea me too. But apparently him and Loki are mortal enemies so it makes sense he’s near Atreus’ age

Same, the earlier designs of him looked great, but this one ehhhh not intimidating at all.

Well because in the original prophecy they destined to kill each other, it's understandable that he loath and wary of Atreus (Loki)

@Shirrako141man’s casually just offering the third Norse God of War game in a KZfaq comment section

Maybe this is 4 shadowing something

Or at least that's how Odin and the rest of Asgard probably thought of what Loki would be like.

@@justincummings5022 That is how Loki is in the myth, manipulative, cunning and everything he says is a lie. He's chaos personified.

@@Slapnuts9627 that too

Maybe it's just me but I feel that was a reference to loki being the God of mischief and fire.

Holy shit that's so accurate.

And just like Odin tries to manipulate Atreus by preying on his desire for answers and parental recognition, Palpatine did so with Anakin by preying not only on his desire to save Padme, but also on his desire for recognition.

It looks cozy but still kinda grand. Feels like a proper viking settlement

@@gtdonny305 marvels version is more accurate. Asgard is described, having golden buildings

@@Revan-eb1wbIt says "buildings" Not castles or giant greek architecture. Nordics at that time wouldn´t even know what greek architecture is, besides most people were farmers and simple people. Marvel version of Asgard is super literal and stupid tbh.

@@thehoodedvagabum7375 nobody said anything about a castle. And marvel is still more accurate than santa monica's version. It is weird to sau it but it is true. Deal with it

@@Revan-eb1wb Amazing argument.

And he treats it the same way as we do driving a car. “Alright. I’m here. What’s the problem?” 😑

That is the essence of tragedy: The person involved become the catalyst of doom they wished to prevent.

True that imagine the powerful alliance they could have had if Kratos just shook and had a drink on it instead of saying "no" to Odin's offer would have made things alot easier lol can't blame him though Kratos didnt have alot of reason to trust anyone at that particular time

“Sometimes, you meet your destiny on the very road you take to avoid it”, I heard something like that in a movie, don’t remember which one.

Very well-said, the trickster side of Odin is often ignored in the mainstream

Well the loading screen is the animation or cinematic scene they swapped with. Its smart move btw..

Wait so the wooden houses and dirt roads isn't a trick by Odin to make the Aesir normal and relatable? Asgard really looks like this?

@@finnheisenheim8274 Myths states that asgard is made of gold. Not sure why they went with wood but I think the designers are going with the viking look.

Viking where not much about living in castles... now stealing from them, thats where they had fun

I remember watching a review on assassins creed valhalla and they kinda brought this up whenever asgard was shown, apparently is cuz the ppl back then we’re usually just farmers, raiders, and traders etc, they would only be able to envision their imagination close to their reality. So while asgard could’ve said to been this grand place made of gold, it could’ve resembled more to a gold hut, rather then a actual gold giant castle n such.

yes its good they strayed away from the villain in a big castle or big building cliche

and then backstabs them and acts like nothing happened

I'm a practioner of magick and have worked with Odin many times. His personality is that of a strict but loving and doting grandfather. He's one of my dearest friends

@@calebwest3797 MCU Loki vibes! and in mythology heimdall and Loki are not cool with each other so

he knows what you want to hear, and he will gladly say it

it was a waste for him to die

Way better than the depiction in MCU

Asgard in Norse was depicted as a golden palace not a village 🤦🏿‍♂️

@@Wholesomewarriortv99 games are allowed to take liberties. Thor isn’t some model with blonde hair like in the mcu.

@@paulallen2680 of course not, he is portrayed exactly how he is in Norse mythology very accurate, powerful, and menacing.

@@Wholesomewarriortv99 Well, more like a walled off enclosure of various halls in which the gods do their functions, but they also have their houses. At any rate, yeah - lots of gold was used by the Æsir during its construction, which is probably why they made the dwarves a little while after. Though it was large enough to have training fields, and of course bits of the world tree could be seen.

Odin is manipulative that's why so many ppl love him

Except dumbledore is not pure saint tho, he was hypocrite. You can see how he act biased against harry compared to other students

@@Nobodyss21 well yeah. He needed a piece of Voldemort to destroy other pieces of Voldemort, or die trying which in turn would kill a piece of Voldemort. Wouldn't say bias, more like proper attention.

@@Nobodyss21 No one is a "saint".

Maybe not that but this Asgard is certainly a bit underwhelming since Mimir described it as “big” and “golden” if my memory serves correct

Its probably a matter of perception since the place is magical. Odin could probably snap his fingers and make it so

This is what we get when we have 4 Thor movies, I blame Marvel .

@Trevor VanderPutten It's mythological accurate . Blame gown for making Asgard look lame

Marvel made Asgard more divine, astonishing. But in the myth, the Aesir were a little more simpler
