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

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.

>>731057181
Why wouldn't Odin look like a jewish man. Odin is usually depicted as a wandering wise man like Moses.

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.
>>731057181
>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.

Thats more like how religions in general tend to be.
Jews theologically see themselves as the ONLY people chosen by good to "shepherd" the rest.
They chose to believe that meant the commandments were for others to follow and that shepherd meant ruling over.
Which is why the orthodox hassidic jews are just straight up nazis about it.
They genuinely believe and teach that they are the superior race and that all others were made to serve them.
Thankfully they are largely inbred morons constricted by their rigid adherence to barbaric tradition... but those thoughts still filter into and influence the rest.
So naturally, people who believe their culture is best and who have developed a history of manipulation under the doctrine of "god intended for us to guide the rest" are gonna try to manipulate the other religions... and all of them don't get along.
>>
>>731057181
This is because they wanted to demoralize you. If Thor was a strong, handsome guy, it would naturally mean he was better than Kratos who keeps talking about becoming a 'better man'.
He needs to look like shit so Kratos has the moral high ground.

What the fuck are you babbling about, you idiot? In GOW2 Kratos was literally made a mortal again. All the Olympian power that actually made him a god was taken from him. He became a demigod at that point. It has nothing to do with veneration or worship, or the lack thereof. Zeus and the Olympians made Kratos a god of Olympus at the end of GOW1, and in the beginning of GOW2 Kratos put all his godly powers into the Sword of Olympus, and he never actually recovered them back from the sword. He's not a god because he is literally not a god. He wasn't born one, and after surrendering the power Zeus and the Olympians gave him into the Sword of Olympus and those same Olympians rejecting him, he was just a demigod and mortal once again.

And if you mean the mythological Kratos the game is based off, that Kratos was actually a Titan, and one of the few that sided with Olympus during the Titanomachy.

Nigga Ragnarok was written by ANTHONY BURCH of all possible numale writers, what did you expect? nuGoW is a thoroughly raped series you shouldn't invest an iota of mental effort or emotion into. Even listening to three sentences of Odin's dialogue is enough to make anyone sane recreate the original GoW opening off the nearest cliff

No they dont antisemite. Jews are chosen as in burdened with monotheism like in the movie blues brothers "we are on a mission from god" except jews dont have missionaries so instead every jew is like a missionary thats what chosen means.
And they dont believe in converting people so they arent Proselytising
>>
>>731062504
How is me knowing Judaism far, far better than you clearly do being antisemetic?
>burdened with monotheism
holy ESL
>jews don't believe in converting
Converting people????
Why would the special chosen people need to convert their herd?
Their religion is for THEM, the chosen ones.
Their rules are not the same rules sent by god for those they were meant to guide.

Don't throw a fit because you are ignorant of the foundations
Fuck off, learn english so you don't randomly string the wrong words together, and THEN come back.
>>
>>731063112
You dont, you are just an antisemite making shit up.
Anyone can become jewish and become "chosen" which translates into something like calling and burdened with monotheism is accurate english you actual esl chimp.
>not the same rules
Ironic because the point is the rules apply to everyone according to judaism even a nonjew can and should practice them eg noahide.

You are saying stupid contradictory antisemite gibberish too. Like jews are dumb and simultaneously running the world like evil geniuses.

Holy shit you don't even know huh?
You don't become jewish.
Only people who are related to a jewish family directly through the matriarchal line can be properly jewish.
Stop being an ignorant retard and listen.
Matriarchal clans used to be quite common, and Jews continue this.
Israel continues this.
You cannot become chosen.
You are either born chosen or you aren't.
Its simple and its laid out in black and white in the religious texts.

You don't even know what the word monotheistic even means.
Monotheistic means "a religion that believes in a single divine being" as opposed to polytheistic.
That is not something you are "burdened" by.
Its an inherent aspect of a religion.
Who let this retard in?
Any Rabbi would be aghast at your mangling of their culture, even as they would be pissed off at me for being open about the parts the majority of Judaism wants to keep quite about.

You clearly are not jewish.
I on the other hand am jewish by blood, through my mother no less.
So shut up and lying about my ancestor's culture.

>>731063630
you are burdened with it because its not seen as a boon but a responsibility you represent god and you are humbled before the creator in knowing god.
A responsibility is considered a burden you actual eal fruitcake
>>
>>731063695
That's not Judaism, sorry.
Thats just a LARP like those black people who keep demanding to get full Israel rights as "lost tribe members" or whatever their stupid scam it.
Judaism is not like Christianity where anyone can find their own way to interpret things as they please.
That is something unique to Christianity because the catholic church screwed everything up in an echo of Jesus trying to revise ancient Judaism.

You can make up whatever lies you want, form a fake jew community, whatever.
You still will not be Jewish.
Jewish is something both religious and genetic.
The ethnicity has gone though a LOT of trouble to hold onto that part of their identity.

Frankly I would prefer the neo nazis to colonizing faggots like you.

>>731063826
Monotheism isn't a boon or duty you stupid idiot.
its whether your religion believes in one divine entity or multiple.

>TL;DR
>Why did they DEI the cast of GOW Norse edition?
ESG money from Blackrock + true believers in the company/contracted DEI consultants
>Why did it go from eloquent language to modern American slang?
Because modern writers are largely hacks
>Why is Kratos suddenly a born god instead of a mortal?
Because they insisted on making the story focused around the responsibility of being a god, making that a central theme. I don't even know what makes Kratos a god at this point. He should've lost it when he lost the Blade of Olympus, but they never cared to explain why he's back at god status
>Why are they going to keep making gaems with an older and older Kratos
Because the series ended up being tied with Kratos
>or worse the unlikable Atreaus?
More opportunity for new gameplay. Too bad he's unlikable as you said, and lacks the force of characters Kratos has alongside an interesting story

Uneducated, retarded, unable to even understand the meaning of the words you pick, you bumble and seek to pervert my ancestor's culture.
see this thing?
this is the definition of the word "monotheism" you keep misusing, goyim.
and believe me, you are goyim in the most backwardly orthodox and derogatory way possible.
stupid cattle braying about things you don't understand.

it has nothing to do with responsibility.
>>
>>731063862
Jews are the source of the monotheistic faiths you tard, hence abrahamic religions. Abraham being the first jew.
If you werent an actual schizophrenic tard you'd appreciate the paganistic roots and similarities.
Before that they were polytheistic and when they decided they were monotheistic they shopped around for a God and eventually settled on El or Yahweh the storm god.
So theres an ironic similarity here with Zeus, Odin and Thor.

There are several branches of Judaism. The ones that rule the world won't let you in because you worship them.

You'll be killed like the goyim cattle you are all the same, and you'll deserve it for not fighting back.
