He's also part titan

@@jamesroad316 Titan is god

celestialangel666 ehh I hope she keeps her promise , niggas came up on this side , now they on the other side

Oh I doubt very much she'll ever be like Athena, even if bent with rage, desirous of vengeance, and needing to be put down. Freya is not nearly as coldly manipulative as Athena. Speaking mythologically (even if GoW uses mythology loosely in some cases), they're very different women with very different personalities and qualities they govern over. Athena is a goddess of wisdom, courage, inspiration, strategy , mathematics, the arts, etc. You can see how such qualities could be bent and interpreted as Machiavellian. Freya, on the other hand (at least this interpretation of her that melds her and Frigga as the same woman) is a goddess of love, destiny, fertility, selflessness, motherhood, etc. The only commonality between Freya and Athena is that, in their respective mythologies, they're both goddesses of war. However, between the two, Freya is also the goddess of peace. You'll find tales of Athena doing awful things to people who slight her, even for petty slights, whereas tales of Freya/Frigga is often of her forgiving incredible wrongs. That's not to say she couldn't be a fight in the next game. It's important to remember GoW interprets this stuff loosely and it wouldn't be the first time the story twists the mythos of the gods a bit for dramatic effect. And also, Freya is not so perfect, even in her root mythology. Keep in mind she is a goddess of war and DOES war. It's not my intention to whitewash her. But she's also a lot more complex and capable of good I think than the Athena of Greek mythos. When Baldur is killed, though she mourns his death and tries vainly to save him even after death, she never seeks vengeance, despite having more than enough cause (against Loki, Hotor, Thokk, etc.). She's also one of the few gods that 'survive' Ragnarok. So, I could see her pursuing vengeance, but I also see her as one of the only gods that may abandon vengeance for a nobler goal, given time. The hint of her seeking her wings may be interpreted as her preparing to fight Kratos, or it may be a red herring. We'll see. I do have to say they spend a lot of time in this game making her a complex and sympathetic, even if flawed, character. I doubt they'll reduce her to just another boss encounter come Ragnarok, even if she is an antagonist.

Allen how do you white wash something that's already white?

SynChrATiCinHD Whitewashing isn't about race LOL.

+Allen In actual Norse mythology Freya dies by the fire giant Surtur in Ragnarok

plur2179 or a novel.

Darsi Padilla true

There just needs to be more of this universe period I am absolutely immersed in these depictions of the Norse gods n shit. It’s heavy. This game possibly has the most interesting lore in my opinion.

True

I would like to see that Odin and Freya life and how they married

JH24821 I'm imagining she would.make Zeus look like a chump.

Well, there's many reasons that could be. A part of me thinks the vengeance justification a red herring. And even if that is her goal, I wonder if she'd try to exact her revenge, or if at the last moment, she'd prove a better goddess than that. Keep in mind, while she's a goddess of war, she's also a goddess of peace and love. There's a lot of ways they could go with this. I'm interested to see how it'll be.

Jeremy Woodruff Bruh Zeus was probably more powerful than Odin and Thor What are you talking about ? Kratos was only able to kill him when he was wielding the Blade of Olympus mixed with the power of hope, which is supposed to be the most powerful weapon in all of GoW lore. Zeus would probably be able to kill all 9 Valkyries and Freya at the same time without too much trouble.

117blingbling I dunno man, we haven't seen Odin, freya, nor Thor at their full power. We can decide who's stronger by the time we see demonstrations of their power

Old man Kratos is probably going to Beat Freya and Thor's Ass without the Blade of Olympus in the next game. Back when Kratos was still in his prime with better weapons, he barely managed to win against Zeus. The only one who might give a challenge to Zeus would Be Odin, since apparently he is the most powerful of his kin in the nordic mythology. and still if Odin die without the need of a magic weapon that is as powerful as the Blade of Olympus that mean he would be weaker than Zeus.

Kratos: Head! You are going to enjoy this…

Jimmy yIK we’ve seen Kratos pummel enough God’s I think that’s why they hyped up Atreus because it’s his story now, maybe they’ll make him look like Ragnar from Vikings when he gets older who knows. Lol point is we need something new

+Misa Galvez NEIN!!

Jimmy yIK no we already have seen kratos slaying a entire pantheon. Plus in his old state he looked to struggle with magni and odin should be in zeus levels plus smarter (like we saw in the game.i mean he take out his own aye only to troll memir) and a warrior god no a pussy that hides behind others like Zeus did

super kal el magni and his brother havent shown any feats that put him on zeus level odin on the other hand will most likely be stronger or have the edge with his magic

saif ahmad maybe I'm being hopeful but I think it'll be a little quicker. It seems like they have a decent engine, which is half the battle.

no. it took so cuz it was a new franchise get example of gow 1 2 3 realease dates it takes 2 3 years to each other. sr for bad english

The longer they take, the better the production of it will be. I can wait for a well produced game no problem. Like The Last of Us Part 2.

@@RezarkPvP To what are you referring to exactly?

@@RezarkPvP A lot of the negative reviews appeared within the first hour of the game being released. A lot of the people who "reviewed" it probably didn't even play the game or marked it as a bad game based on their dislike of having Ellie being emotionally and sexually connected to another female. The game itself is actually very good in my opinion. It just goes to show you how simple minded and pathetic much of the population can be when it comes to certain things.

atheoang3l0 part human, part titan, part god and half giant yeah u are defintely not a rare kind of breed atreus to suprised

1/4 Olympian, 1/2 Jotun, 1/4 mortal. The parents of the original Olympians were both Titans so I dunno if we can regard the two as separate races when it comes to blood.

Devon Carter that make sense, i think odin become second zeus, i mean zeus good god who turn evil cause efect of fear from pandora box

odin seems to havebeen evil from the start

A pursuit of knowledge that ends up as a dangerous obsession.

Devon Carter No Odin's just been paranoid from the start. It's most likely just a basic aspect of his personality and the prophecy of his death probably doesn't help. Just like Cronos didn't need an evil to possess him to swallow his children.

Possible but I think what happened to Greece stays there. That was an important thing that Cory said i beleive. Otherwise, Ymir may have also been affected by that or maybe Ymir also gave birth to the Greek Gods. Or the Giant and Titans are related somehow but the Titans changed greatly because (insert crazy idea here). I just kinda doubt it.

lh0rd Paladins Surtur-YOU CANNOT STOP RAGNAROK WHY FIGHT IT Thor-BECAUSE THAT IS WHAT HEROES DO......

2a. Odin kills Freya, and in so doing exposes himself to a curse she wove for whoever kills her. Yeah, I know: "No living thing may she harm, by blade nor spell" but dying curses have a nasty tendency of barging through such barriers.

Jeremy Woodruff in actual Norse mythology Freya dies by the fire giant Surtur in Ragnarok

is it freya or her brother freyr? i always thought it is the freyr and not freya that fight Surtur.

Yah,This is god of way.. This is a joke,Lol

Jeremy Woodruff well we can hope that she won't because in the story of Ragnarok, she lives and gets to revive baldur in the end

super kal el agreed

Might be from the game called SMITE

Enrico Boccardi da fuck?! Loki seems had really weird fetish.

Enrico Boccardi This mythology is way more fucked up than i anticipated.

a starving african child wonder what the 'product' between that horse and Kratos 😆

I think the World Serpent is also one of Loki's...Guy has a lot of weird kids.

Enrico Boccardi I think the story of Loki's distracting the horse and running away from it but he wasn't fast enough and the horse raped him that story always makes me laugh by the way the horse Loki gave birth to was Odin's horse not Thor's

I’m not sure they are Norse since the Olympians can affect their territory

Kratos has eternal blessing from all 9 valkyries, But now their queen want to torture him. We'll see how it goes

I'm quite sure threatening The Ghost of Sparta is not a good thing. Hades would fuck the 9 Valkyries up like trash.

Ranganathan Ramanujam Yeah I quess.Was it to much to keep the story and events accurate to the original myth?I am sure they could still make a good plot,propably a more enjoyable one.And atreus being Loki is still stupid decision in my opinion,we are not getting kratos vs Loki now.

Atreus being Loki, is a well crafted move that does not disturb or break the mythology aspect. Also just a noob to Norse mythology, thus on recognising small hints and nuance hints of Loki aspect is so perfectly put that it just builds and strengthens the story line. Kratos vs Loki sounds interesting and I think his wife had predicted that too (the covered painting ).

To be fair, Marvel did stay true regarding Loki being a giant.

They are probably still going to change much stuff about Loki , like his involvement in creating Mjolnir and...uh...Sleipnir. Anyway, they 've done a terrific job so far. "Can I turn into an animal?" It's been months and it still gets me

A Ghost Without a Past And that's pretty much it. I'm not blaming Marvel though. The problem is that too many fans are convinced there is no difference between the original myths and the more popular modern adaptation

And Loki was the one who was ordered to hamper the construction.

How did she died?

next next game probably. I doubt the developer would cut it short and only do a two game series, they're definitely going to milk it, making the next game end boss being thor and the following game to be Odin. if Freya is supposed to die on Ragnarok, she would live to the third game. I can see her playing an Athena sort of role in the next game though.

Odin lied to her son maybe they join forces

+cyberwolfy37 I doubt very seriously she'd play an Athena-style role, even if she becomes an antagonist. It's just not her character, and Athena's goddess qualities are not the same as Freya's. It's easy to style Athena as a schemer; she's a goddess of strategy, wisdom, skill, etc. So making her the one orchestrating things behind the scenes in the previous games was easy. Freya (or Frigga since this interpretation of her assumes both Freya and Frigga are the same woman) on the other hand is a goddess of love, motherhood, fertility, etc. Even when you see her in this game, she's never manipulative. I imagine she'll be a lot more direct. If it's vengeance Freya wants, she's going to send people to do her bidding or whisper in the ear of gods to convince them to fight for her; she's going to confront Kratos herself. If that happens, it'd be a hell of a fight. Going by mythos, she's formidable to say the least. But I also wonder if she'd really do it, go on a hellbent quest for vengeance and exact it. While she may be a god of war, unlike Athena she's also a god of peace and love. I have to wonder if the time and development they spent with her in this game was to build her up as a potential enemy, only to have her be the one god capable enough to forgive in the end. Her getting her fighting spirit back may be a big red herring. Then again, who knows? Wouldn't be the first time the developers twisted the gods a bit for the sake of dramatic effect. I'm sure it'll be interesting.

It's ironic that she's Goddess of motherhood while she's a horrible mother to begin with. And she should know better than that since Baldur's death is basically her own fault.

The gods in Norse Mythology are all complex beings. They have both good and bad qualities. Valhalla (and possibly Folkvagnr) exists only for the gods to have an army for Ragnarök. In the myth, the Jötnar are beings of chaos, but they are also closely associated with nature. They also eat humans. In one of the poems Thor speaks with an elderly oarsman who is constantly taunting him and asking him where he was when certain wars happened. He answers only that he was fighting the Jötnar and admits that if it wasn't for him, they would have overrun Midgard. Some believe that Odin disguised himself as that ferryman. Speaking of Odin, he is the father of mankind, along with his brothers Vili and Vé (in some versions it was the god Hoenir who helped Odin and either Vili and Vé create humanity. Odin usually takes on the form of a wanderer and travels across Midgard, sharing or gaining wisdom, and helping heroes rise, like he did with Sigurd. Odin is obsessed with knowledge which led to him famously sacrificing his eye for wisdom and hanging himself for 9 days and 9 nights until he discovered the runes. He is shown to be generous with the knowledge he recieves. He shared the runes with mankind, as well as the mead of poetry (created from the blood of the god Kvasir) which he retreated by lying, and tricking the slaves of the Jötnar king, as well as the Jötnar king himself, as well as his brother and his daughter. He wants war, because he wants more Einherjar to enter Valhalla and thus support his massive army that exists only to fight in Ragnarök. He is very paranoid, which is shown in the myth where he orders the chaining of Fenrir by tricking him. Odin's obsession led him to learning Seidr magic after the Aesir-Vanir war, which was considered feminine magic, and required its wielder to "take on the role of a woman". This led Odin being banished from Asgard for a short while. Odin was no oath breaker, as he did not break his blood oath with Loki when the later killed Baldur and insulted the gods in the palace of Aegir. Instead, he transformed one of Loki's sons into a wolf that killed the other brother. The gods made a chain out of the brother's intestines, and they used it to chain Loki with, and placed a serpent above him that dripped poison in Loki's eyes. Loki's screams caused the earth to shake. It was only his wife Sygin who saved him from this torment for a short while, for she held a plate above the trickster's head, which she had to empty when it was filled. This was the only time when she allowed Loki to feel pain. This was obviously a worse fate than death. Also, my theory of why Odin allowed Loki to be counted amongst the Aesir, is because he wanted a scapegoat that can start wars, thus allowing more warriors to enter Valhalla. Also, Odin never eats, only feeds his ravens: Huginn and Muninn, and his Wolves: Geri and Freki. He requires only mead to survive (and possibly the apples of Idunn, in order to not age).

An Australian Thor? Hard pass.

I could actually see Odin being voiced by Keith David. He was great voicing Spawn and Mongul

Which is more better l like aesir

Ren Park Na they touched that in the Game that mimir isnt alive just reanimated and that Freya did not want that for her son

Ren Park by ragnorok

julio cordova another potential reason why could also be like, since Mimir can’t drown and it seems not feel much at all anymore, she doesn’t want to revive him to the same fate he was trying so hard to escape. Freya was genuinely apologetic for that, and I doubt she wants to make her boy suffer again

"MAGIC!"

im pretty sure that was not magic but old friends ... "greeting"

would you believe... magic?

It was cloves of garlic. it is antibacterial. Helps when reanimating dead body parts. orrrr she was going to cook his head in the soup.

Douglas Welenc Thor killed his own mother and she had a different name.

Thor's mother is Jord, and Kratos's deceased wife is Laufey.

Thor's mother's name is Fjorgyn or Jord the personification of earth aka the Norse version of Gaia.

I lost a single braincell reading this comment,

Badur is Thor’s HALF brother. Son of ODIN and Freya.

Frigg is Freya's pet name.

That is.....literally what this video is about....

Video Game Sophistry xD

Video Game Sophistry I write comments before watching videos.

Ryan Wolver Watch the damn video first! woman*

Ryan Wolver because he had money and power. Money and power and respect then you get the women. Have you never heard a rap son before?? Lol

zVerTeXz she was his wife at the time a d she loved him sooo no rape

max steel when did she love him, I thought she hated him the whole time?

zVerTeXz mimir explained that for a time Odin tried everything to make her happy and for a time she was and the fine line between love and hate he mentioned was a big hint to that truth

Unfortunately, his fears overcame his genuine pursuit for genuine love and intimacy.

zVerTeXz Who? Me?

Only if you regard Marvel. There's alot about how Marvel portrays Norse Mythology that's inaccurate. For instance, Hel (or Hela as Marvel calls her) isn't the daughter of Odin and sister to Loki and Thor. She's the daughter of Loki and a giantess and the sister of Jormungand and Fenrir. Also, Thor isn't blond, it's been stated that Thor's hair is supposed to be red. Loki was never adopted by Odin as a baby. Of course, there's stuff about how it's portrayed in this game that's also inaccurate, Like Freya being married to Odin or being queen of the Valkyries, but the game overall is more accurate than Marvel.

To be fair, Marvel did kind of portrayed Loki's parentage accurately.

The parentage is correct but switched his parents' gender for some reason. Laufey is female and Kra..., I mean, Farbauti a male in the original myths. Not much else is known about either

Nope. His mother was Fjorgyn, both in game and mythology.

Freya and Frigg are the same goddess according to some studies

AWESOME THE CAT That's Marvel...

Wrong

You’re wrong man. Marvel does not follow Norse mythology nearly as close as this game does. Loki was never Thor’s brother.

Adopted brother in Marvel and possibly in GOW

Not at all.

Gjermund this game isn’t talking about the people it’s talking about the mythology of the gods. In the mythology Odin and Thor along with most gods are sadistic, vain beings.
