Wanting to make something better doesn't make you a good guy whatsoever. He probably felt that wiping out the Jotnar or the subjugation of the Dwarves made things better but that was only for himself and no one else.
Still, in the firdt game there is such an melancholic vibe, and the way the gods speak and look, it all feels so, off in comparison to the rest of the franchise, i find it so interesting
He's obviously one of the top tiers. Maybe not quite on the level of Zeus, but roughly on par with Thor, Poseidon, Hades, etc.
Freya is on Kratos' level. Atreus... not so much without shapeshifting
I mean, he can hurt kratos level oponents in base, thougg i guess he downscales, i never understood why he didn't just downscaled from baldur
He's still portrayed as significantly inferior
So Kratos coming in and changing everything was right after all.
It's worth noting that Ymir was also described as a force of nature.
Once again kratos changes fate, or not because the norns said thar it doesn't exist in norse
I honestly don't doubt the sentiment. Though I wonder, would Starkadr still be stronger?
He would be, but Odin lacks severely in the hax department compared to Hades or Ares, nor does he have the Resistance to keep going like him either.
Zeus, the ultimate giga chad of the gods
And Thor held Ragnarok and Jormungandr back without any issue at all, but Thor wouldn't even go anywhere near Starkadr no matter what.
Odin didn't kill Ymir singlehandedly. He needed his brothers.
Tbh we don't know that besides them being depicted standing next to Odin in the mural with Odin stabbing Ymir. Seeing how Ve and Villi are ignored and not attributed to killing Ymir in the games besides the mural, that's probably not what happened in the god of war version. Kinda like how Audumbla exists in god of war yet only Ymir is mentioned as the one who created every living being in the norse world with no mention of Audumbla taking part in it.
Most likely there won't be a Norse-based game, DLC is our only hope.
They're ignored in the original myth, too. That's not unique to the games.
They're not attributed because Odin performed the fatal stab that spilled his life blood, which was depicted in the mural.
Mimir only mentions Odin as the one who takes arms against his creator and stab him. It would be strange for Mimir to be so caught up on only Odin during the event if Ve and Villi had a major part in it. Ve and Villi are barely mentioned anywhere in god of war besides in Lost Pages of Norse myth during the Aesir-Vanir ware and the mural.
Odin does state he's the person who weathered most of Ymir's flood post stab and that the stab in andd out of itself was extremely hard to control for him.
Remember the monologue where he states "Tell me, can you murder a landslide? Smother a storm? He was more... a force of nature. A vessel of power."? Effectively means that Odin had much more trouble containing the oncoming destruction that would follow once he ran Ymir through with his spear.
That’s nice to hear. Where does the king himself stand in comparison to sigrun or Gna?
do you have the screenshot?
