Hello there Elizhaa. You seem to be an expert in Tier 1 revisions. A while ago, I made this God of War downgrade thread, but it's closed now. Now, I do want to reopen it, but it would be helpful to get staff support so that my thread doesn't get immediately get shut down again, so I'm looking for your personal input. If you look into it, the main problem with the Low 1-C ratings for God of War is that they're based off of completely unnecessary headcanon about the Nine Realms being parallel even though this is completely unnecessary.
The situation is that God of War's cosmology has multiple realms that exist separate from each other that are unable to be traveled between save for special methods such as portals . The linked post is basically the only one that all the rejections are based off of. There's also this but the argument isn't coherent at all and it's just a bunch of non-sequiturs that don't prove anything substantial. Anyways, these facts of the cosmology are taken as meaning that these realms are parallel and thus embedded in higher dimensional space.
But the issue is that even if we assume it is 5D, there is no proof that it is fully-sized. Thus, the proof for Low 1-C is insufficient, since there is no proof that its 5D volume is any more than just 0. Even if we assume they're parallel and embedded in 5D space, that's not enough for 5D. You can look through the entire thread and even the previous ones or the cosmology page and there's no proof of sufficient extension in the 5th dimensional axis to justify Low 1-C. The closest they get to this is Planck claiming that the branches of the Yggdrasil extend infinitely in 5D space, therefore they must extend substantially along the 5th axis which is obviously a non-sequitur. It has already been pointed out that this is flawed logic as even a 4D object can extend infinitely in 5D space, that does not make it Low 1-C.
Another problem is that there is no proof of these realms being finite, and they are never even said to be universes. The most we know of their size is that they contain galaxies and a cosmos of some sort, but that's obviously not enough to warrant infinite size. Note how even in the cosmology page, there is no evidence of the Nine Realms being universal (which is infinite by our standards unless space is curved or cut off) in size. Only ungrounded statements and extrapolations. Thus, they do not need to be parallel or embedded in a higher dimensional space, as finite dimensions can exist within a larger space of the same dimensionality while neither intersecting nor having to be parallel, so they don't have to be embedded in higher-dimensional space. And the reason why realm travel is generally limited to special methods is not because of some sort of parallelism, but because Odin sealed off travel between realms. That's it.
Would you be willing to open the thread? Maybe support my side if you're convinced?
