This was fucking stupid.
If they wanted Richard Schiff to be the voice of Odin, fine.
If they wanted Thor not to resemble MCU Thor, fine.

But there is no fucking reason to make the "mighty" Odin, a god who slayed just as many gods and giants as Thor fucking look like Richard Schiff, a average to short, old, bald, skinny Jewish man.
There's no reason to make Thor a giagantic fatass.
Theres no reason to make the other gods and giants look like their voice actors. It's not like they made Kratos a big black guy.

And then there's the dialogue. I get that vikings and norse mythology is a little more rough and tumble and dirtier than the Greco Roman mythology, but the Greek God of war had half the cast have english accents; not that I agreed with, speaking in semi-old english and elequently.
Here you have the Norse saying fuck, speaking in American accents, speaking very modern english.
And then Angroboda and other gods and giants being not only tan, but some being fucking BLACK. Yeah, NO. Literally the farthest you can get from Black people in the Ancient world.
Even the Greek God of War didn't have black people, and they're in the mediterranean or God sakes. A literally small sea from Africa.

Also just all this pussy shit no more killing, blah, blah, blah. And this false Kratos is a god shit. He's not, not really, and he never felt himself one before either.
In GOW1 he is a born demi-god.
GOW2 he is a god, made mortal again.
Yet he tells Atreaus and others "I am a god, boy." "I was born a god". Saying Kratos is a god is like saying Hercules, Theseus, Perseus and others were gods.
And then the somewhat strong hint that they will continue GOW into Egyptian mythology. How and why. They made Kratos go from like 30 to 45 in GOW4. What are they going to make Kratos 60 years old in GOW6? And they implied they may continue on into shintoism. What then? 80 years old?
Or even worse, are they going to make Atreaus the new Protagonist of the GOW games? No one really likes Atreaus

(((they))) hate paganism due to thousands of years-old ethnoreligious blood grudges
they will never portray it in a positive light
for them the norse deities are rewritten as incompetent retards and frail useless leaders, harlots and charlatans all

>This was fucking stupid.
it was fucking deliberate

TL;DR
Why did they DEI the cast of GOW Norse edition?
Why did it go from eloquent language to modern American slang?
Why did make GOW Norse edition look like the voice actors who don't remotely look Norse or intimidating?
Why is Kratos suddenly a born god instead of a mortal?
Why are they going to keep making gaems with an older and older Kratos or worse the unlikable Atreaus?

They didn't want to rehash Zeus and having Odin be this muscle bound freak would distract from him being deceptive.
It's more convincing that he fools Atreus if he looks meeker than he really is as well as help sell the contrast from how he seems to how people like Mimir immediately flip their shit upon sight given what they know about him personally.
>Thor
He's explicitly written to be past his prime and is constantly drunk due to his guilt and death of his sons and even then he has a strong man build rather than a bodybuilder.

There are many issues with Odin's depiction in this game, I don't think this is one of them. Odin is a very specific god in the myths, you can't just box him in with others. He practices "feminine" magic. In Asgard, he's built temples dedicated to worship of unknown gods. He embodies antithetical concepts in singular form. I think visually he's fine. It would be more kino if they put gold or silver shavings into his clothes so when he walks near torches, it gets otherworldly glint, which is a real thing practiced by Norse seers, but whatever.

Where they've completely lost me is when he opened his mouth. What a terrible script. Whoever wrote that piece of shit dialogue should be taken behind the barn. Shame about Angrboda too. Could've been a god from a distant realm but no, she is actually a Norse god because fuck you.

Why wouldn't Odin look like a jewish man. Odin is usually depicted as a wandering wise man like Moses.

It's jew anti-white propaganda dumbass, as with EVERYTHING on streaming platforms. It was funded by larry fink to do exactly what it did to you, that's It's soul purpose and you actually played it like a good goyim. Dumbass.

The nu-GoW games dont even aknowledge that Kratos killed her own wife and daughter. His biggest regret is killing Zeus

One of the main themes of the norse/proto germanic god myths is that gods really are just normal people with super powers and really bad tempers, all the stories are either about the people of the realms subverting the gods, or the gods proving that they are evil/pathetic. GoW4 and 5 basically do this perfectly.
>Also just all this pussy shit no more killing, blah, blah, blah. And this false Kratos is a god shit. He's not, not really, and he never felt himself one before either.
In GOW1 he is a born demi-god.
GOW2 he is a god, made mortal again.
Yet he tells Atreaus and others "I am a god, boy." "I was born a god". Saying Kratos is a god is like saying Hercules, Theseus, Perseus and others were gods.
God=/=venerated when we're talking about mythology, being a god means having supernatural powers and not all gods were venerated or considered important in mythologies. Kratos is a god, he was just never venerated which is why the end of Ragnarok is such a big moment, its Kratos still being a god of war who uses power and violence but uses it in a way that makes him a protector of his new home and the people he is responsible for.

>And then the somewhat strong hint that they will continue GOW into Egyptian mythology
Next god of war game is about the arthurian myth and arthur's camelot starting a war with the norse realms.
>They made Kratos go from like 30 to 45 in GOW4
The time between 3 and 4 is at least 300-400 years, Kratos is extremely old.

I refuse to believe there are people unironically bothered by insufficiently glamourous depictions of thor
>>
>>731061503
as pointed out earlier the depiction of Thor as a blonde pretty man is not true to the legends.
