Well other franchises like Digimon (with the Seven Demon lords) and Shin Megami Tensei has Christianity so it wouldn’t be too far fetched if God of War does it at some point. I guess the only controversial thing would be calling it a mythology.Japanese, Mayan, Christianity (yes, controversial, I know, this is coming from a Christian), Egyptian, and maybe explaining Roman mythology.
Yeah in the mural in the last gameJapanese, Egyptian, and Celtic are confirmed to be a part of the cosmology.
probably yeahDamn that's long
Also, Freya would scale to Kratos if she fights him, right?
I'm hoping he has some crazy abstract stuff. Maybe he takes the shape of Zeus or Ares at one point to **** with us while summoning maelstroms of ravens or using his 18 chants.The foreshadowing of Odin's obsession and skill with magic has me pumped for what abilities he'll showcase.
I think we definitely will since Freya is canonically their one true queen in lore and we already know a bit about SigrunI also hope we'll get more info on the valkyries. I wanna see their profiles here.
Yeah they're definitely pushing him as being an equal to Kratos and probably a major problem (which is odd because of Baldur but eh).Mimir says he's unsure whether Kratos can beat him or not so he's definitely gonna be one of the hardest fights of his life.
TBH I'm tornThough, I wish his design was more threatening lol.
Baldur was weird since he technically scales to Thor through Jorm and should he even harder to deal with due to his curse. Guess we'll see what the Thunder God has up his sleeves.Yeah they're definitely pushing him as being an equal to Kratos and probably a major problem (which is odd because of Baldur but eh).
Depending on scaling he could be right up there with Zeus but we need to come to that after Ragnarok tho (feel free to ask me about it on Discod)
I actually think the design is very fitting, considering his characterization in the previous game. My issue with it is purely aesthetic and personal.TBH I'm torn
I think it fits this version of Thor quite well; this gluttonous manchild without discipline who relies on raw power and probably can't fight all that well. I definitely like the contrast with Kratos (whom trained for his muscle mass) since he probably was merry and enjoyed hedonism in Valhalla. You could also see it as putting him far beyond any glamorous ideas; reducing him to just this barbaric Thunder God.
That said I was hoping for something closer to Hafthor Bjornsson in build but I'm aslo a huge fan of depictions like these
Hes weird more in the sense he takes out Jorm pretty easily and yet seemingly isn't as hyped as his big brotherBaldur was weird since he technically scales to Thor through Jorm and should he even harder to deal with due to his curse. Guess we'll see what the Thunder God has up his sleeves.
Yeah I get thatI actually think the design is very fitting, considering his characterization in the previous game. My issue with it is purely aesthetic and personal.
It'll be interesting to see Kratos have to compensate for someone being stronger then himAlso yeah, he seems to be more of a brute force fighter since most of the foes he's fought were simply bludgeoned to death by his hammer or just matched blow for blow.
Starkath was a ******* G thoStarkaotr was ironically too much for him in a one one one too.
To be fair, mimir only knows kratos from stories, he doesn't "actually" know how much of a monster kratos was in the old games.Mimir says he's unsure whether Kratos can beat him or not so he's definitely gonna be one of the hardest fights of his life. Though, I wish his design was more threatening lol.
Kratos being on the ropes cause of Big Chungus hits different.
Yeah I follow Hafthor on Instagram, he's even bigger now. The funny thing is I have that exact same art in my phone. Thor looks really scary.That said I was hoping for something closer to Hafthor Bjornsson in build but I'm aslo a huge fan of depictions like these
I can see this. I believe in actual Norse mythology, he had a ring that could clone the user infinitely. Kinda like Zeus, would be a nice, and annoying throwback.I'm hoping he has some crazy abstract stuff. Maybe he takes the shape of Zeus or Ares at one point to **** with us while summoning maelstroms of ravens or using his 18 chants.
They’re also labeling them as fatphobicMe neither. It's annoying how they're trying to label everyone who doesn't like it "idiots who know nothing about Norse mythology"
Yeah he got a lot of definition for boxing right?Yeah I follow Hafthor on Instagram, he's even bigger now. The funny thing is I have that exact same art in my phone. Thor looks really scary.
Huh can't remember that but it could be funI can see this. I believe in actual Norse mythology, he had a ring that could clone the user infinitely. Kinda like Zeus, would be a nice, and annoying throwback.
It's annoying because accuracy to mythology is dumb as hell. So much of what we know of Norse Myth is what Christian scholars passed down to us (I'm pretty sure the man and women after Raganarok was a biblical allusion) and none of the art really portrays Thor as being obese. Plus again, myth changes based on the teller and cultural context so we're probably looking at thousands of versions here (Medusa being assaulted by Poseidon was an invention of Ovid, a Roman scholar hundreds of years after Greece)Also the Thor design Shananagans are dumb as ****. The way people are reacting to people who don't like it, Is ******* crazy lmao. I literally got on Twitter and simply said "not a fan of it, but I don't really care, can't wait to fight him, still gonna buy the game" and lot of people started saying I don't know anything about nOrsE MYthOlgY, and then, HaHa McU fAn,
BruhAnd then some guy said, ''he's just a game character" I said "Really?" And then he blocked me lol.
It was actually funny as hell.
^^It's not accurate to Norse mythology, cause no one ever said he was fat, just that he ate a lot.
In fairness most of the art is from after the main Norse period but yeah it's not something treated as thereEspecially considering how he's never depicted as fat in statues, classic artworks, and such, he's always muscular. Even then, when has gow ever cared about mythological accuracy?
Hmm perhaps; it does feel weird they unveiled Thor so quicklyBut I honestly think they're playing for ***** and giggles and he doesn't actually look like that
Thisnone of the art really portrays Thor as being obese.
Yeah .Yeah he got a lot of definition for boxing right?
Yeah, I read that somewhere a few years back. I seen it on a GOW Theory vid as well, before it was out.Huh can't remember that but it could be fun
Very ******* irritating. even beyond christians scholars (who already twisted Norse mythology) we know almost nothing about Norse mythology in the first place. The Vikings didn't really like recording their history. Absolutely. Their is 0 art that depicts Thor as Overweight. Only thing said is that he has a great appetite (strong men in real life eat all the time)It's annoying because accuracy to mythology is dumb as hell. So much of what we know of Norse Myth is what Christian scholars passed down to us (I'm pretty sure the man and women after Raganarok was a biblical allusion) and none of the art really portrays Thor as being obese. Plus again, myth changes based on the teller and cultural context so we're probably looking at thousands of versions here (Medusa being assaulted by Poseidon was an invention of Ovid, a Roman scholar hundreds of years after Greece)
Bruh, I genuinely thought me and him were having playful interaction. I honestly really dislike social media.Bruh
I know right? By this logic you might as well call out the entire series.^^
Plus I doubt Monica is going for accuracy, they completely rewrote Greek Myth and have done their fair share of modifications to characters from Germanic mythology
Yes. It's crazy. Maybe there's still depictions of Thor, yet to discovered, I bet a million bucks he won't be fat.In fairness most of the art is from after the main Norse period but yeah it's not something treated as there
Maybe, but to be fair we knew we'd be fighting him, and they left us for almost a year.Hmm perhaps; it does feel weird they unveiled Thor so quickly
It's so ******* weird and mindboggling how folks are on this idea that he was ever fat.I bet these people didn't even know what Norse mythology was until this game came out, and all of sudden they're experts on it.
Man. I hate being a Sony fan sometimes.
