Heimdall is nothing too impressive strengthwise. Thor scares the shit out of him.
Really? He mocked Thor and said he wasn't scared of him while bullying his daughter. I guess he was banking on Odin to protect him. Pretty pathetic man, if so. But then who proves their strength by bullying a kid to start with? A pathetic person, that's who. So yeah, I could buy that he was weak.
Hercules definitively has greater strength and power, Kratos folded Heimdall with Draupnir and his own AD, RE and resistance to Telepathy while still holding back, almost causing Kratos to lose himself to madness as he choked out Heimdall.
Can Heimdall damage Hercules though? If he manages to grab him he can crush him, can't he?
Heimdall has blades and Bifrost energy to compensate.
Yeah, so Hercules suffers from only existing as a muscle-bound sub-boss whose whole story literally starts and ends in the same scene. Poor guy, first the labours and now getting beaten up by a pathetic child-beater, that's so humiliating for him...
Now I feel bad for Hercules, he shoulda been given more time to shine, maybe turn into a actual threat.
No. He doesn't
I literally just said that Hercules has no resistance to any of that tho LOL
Well it’s possible that Hercules could clip Heimdall, and if he gets hit even once, he begins to lose his composure which makes his ability to read his opponent less accurate. This was shown in his battle with Kratos when his Draupnir Spear's unique nature made it harder for Heimdall to anticipate the attacks and let Kratos land a punch, which caused Heimdall to get angry over actually having been hit and let Kratos land more punches. However, that’s unlikely to happen here since Hercules doesn’t have an unpredictable weapon like Kratos did.
Agreed. Anyone thinking otherwise is just lying to themselves.
Speaking as someone who wasn't interested enough to actually buy the game and only knows Heimdall from a few YouTube videos, and who thinks his bullying of two kids is actually a sign of someone with a need to prove their strength, I'd say I'm not lying to anyone.
It's just a side-effect of Heimdall's pretentious attitude and his habit of wanting to prove himself better than literally anyone in combat. He revels in his superiority complex partly because of his Aesir nature.
I'll try not to harp on this too much since most people take issue when I talk about this, but if you meet a person like that, you've met a person with a weak character, not a strong one.
Weak character and coward aren't necessarily one and the same. I've known people who definitely had weak character but were far from cowards. I've seen such a person spring right back up and attack after being punched in the face hard enough to knock him on his back. Keeping in mind of course that Heimdall is overconfident due to his precog. He thinks he's better than he is.
