Odin being a weaselly asshole isn't necessarily a bad depiction. There were times when all the other Gods couldn't stand Odin or even mocked him, but he was always one step ahead of all of them. When all was said and done, he really was the God of "do absolutely ANYTHING to win."

kratos really had a whole moral dilemma about going to war with this guy and then just says fuck it and drops a nuke on the bad guys lmaoo. they never even show odin doing anything evil outside of being a kind of neglectful father? at the end of the game no one even cares either, the refugee camp is so fucking funny because no one is angry AT ALL that kratos just blew up their entire fucking planet. who actually wrote this shit

Its a cultural desecration ritual. They have an easier time securing loans for payroll if they desecrate European culture.
Though it isnt entirely unfair to depict claim that way. Odin is much closer related to Mercury than he is to patriarchal gods like Jupiter or Ouranos.
Making Thor a fat alkie was despicable though.
>>
>>722802132
I feel like it could have worked if it was actually intentional and the rest of the cast actually sounded like they’re talking from Nordic mythology. It would make a stark contrast about his intelligence if he was the only one not making a grand display of their dialogue. Too bad everyone in the game talks like midwives at the superstore.

I think that distinction is clear. Everyone in the cast does have a somewhat modern lingo aside from Kratos but they still talk in a relatively old fashioned way in the term of casual sentence structure they use. Atreus doesn't just go "sup" to everyone, he makes long winded overly formal introductions to everyone he meets.
Odin is the only one in the cast that really acts like modern archetype and it fits especially considering the mask narrative is basically a metaphor for Odin wanting to break from the narrative.
He was definetly the most memorable villain I've seen in a game since pagan min and nothing really better came sense. I especially really like how realistic and well his manipulation of Atreus comes along. He knows from the get go he won't get him to flip on his father and he doesn't even try, but he in subtle always always tries to make Atreus think that he's not as big of a threat as he is by appearing like a goofy mob boss, so Atreus doesn't take him as seriously as he really should.
>>
>>722804058
Could have worked if they made her a divine mutt like Athreus and justify her being the “mother of monsters” by it being a power from an external god.
But no, they went the laziest way possible
>>
>I am a gayer man
What did Kratos mean by this?
>>
>make the most slimy, subversive, cruel and backstabbing depiction of Odin to date
>get a Jew to play him

what did they mean by this?
>>
>>722802307
Unironically what was the plot Ares was trying to do?
I thought at the end of the 3rd game the story would make sense but it never does.
Basically Ares just decided to sperg out one day and Zeus just decided to go kill him setting all the shit in motion?
What was the point to any of it?
>>
>>722806262
this
>>
>>722813187
Its simple, Ares hates Athena for being the favored wisdom child and she is also a god related go war and warrior traits. So he destroys her city built by mortals. Athena cant engage him directly since Zeus forbids the gods from doing so to avoid another potential Titanomachy situation. They send Kratos whos a tool/pawn of the Olympians to defeat Ares knowing he would more investment in it than anything due to being manipulated by him. Ares just wanted attention and recognition over Athena who is so loved even Hades mourns her death.
>>
>>722813686
Why did he wait 10 years
Why even make Kratos his champion if he was just going to go sperg out and destroy Athens himself?
>>
>>722809145
he's not wrong, when the Romans try to conquer regions they made it a practice of re-interpreting the local gods into their own, and when they did this with Norse mythology, they interpreted Odin as Mercury, Thor as Hercules, Tyr as Mars or Jupiter and Freya as Juno or Venus.

Here's Odin in shadowverse

>Fimbulvetr will come, and the world shall be buried in the snow of three winters. The land will crumble and life will dwindle as gods wage the war of the end. Then... Odin will dismount his soaring steed and step past the threshold of fate.
>>
>>722802069
This. Up until the finale where he kills Thor, you never actually SEE Odin do anything evil outside being an asshole sometimes. Killing Brok is debatable because Kratos and team stole Odin’s mask for NO REASON. I don’t understand how they write a game where everyone says Odin is God Hitler but not a single scene of him actually doing these terrible things.
>>
>>722818446
I forgot to mention he actually tried to avoid killing Brok until Brok conered him.
>>
>>722802069
>>722818446
They spent the entire previous game talking about him, and didn't Ragnarök show how he turned the dwarf realm into a realm of slavery?
>>
>>722801631
To make fun of white gods and white men.

>>
>>722818845
What even is classic literature
>>
>>722818672
But that’s the problem. It’s a classic “show don’t tell situation”. We hear about how terrible Odin is but almost all scenes of him physically are just him acting like a morally questionable uncle. It’s made even worse he tries multiple times throughout the game to reason with Kratos and says he wants peace only for Kratos to say no because the dumbfuck writers need a plot

Didn't have to conquer them to have interactions with with. Both Pliny the Elder and Tacitus wrote about them.
>>
>>722814679
Based on my headcanon, since Ares knew about the prophecy that Deimos would destroy Olympus, he and Athena were sent to capture the Marked Warrior. So, when he met Kratos again, Ares realized he had captured the wrong person but still deliberately turned Kratos into his ultimate champion as a plan B against Zeus.
Of course, things didn't work out well for Ares, and he ended up getting killed by Kratos.

No such thing happened, besides it can't be helped that the toxic masculinity enforced by the patriarchy has ruined your views on what the male body can look like.

The issue is that he is ONLY that in these games. I mean he was king of the gods for a reason. He wasn’t just some frail old man, he could be but he could change into a lot of forms. I mean he was also a warrior yet they went all in on weak old man little finger shit.
>>
>>722809145
You do realize that that is literally the comparison the Romans made and that it was so established that the fucking days of the week that we know today still show it? Just look at what Wednesday (Wodan/Odin’s Day) is called in various Romance languages.

Because California is the only place authentic Odin worship still exists, its only right that Odin is depicted as one. Same way Jesus Christ is often portrayed as a white man, despite in fact being a nigger.

It would have been acceptable if once past the point near the end where Odin is fully mask off he turned into a villain with some presence, but he never did. Just remained a whiny old man, him yelling and trying to be intimidating in his boss fight is just sad.

He felt like a cartoon parody of Conor Mcgregor. Even more ridiculous since Kratos would have killed him several times in their fights. But one neck snap and it's over? bs Fucker would have died from the first encounter if it wasn't for plot armor bringing him back.

Loki once called Odin a sissy for learning girl magic and Odin responded by calling him a transgender horsefucker. The gods being petty shits to each other is one of the few accurate parts of these games
