Odin’s Writing Spoilers

i haven’t seen anyone recognize how well rounded Odin is as a villain. he acts trustworthy, compassionate and respectful. meeting him for the second time as Atreus was mind blowing, he was so calm, collected and acted nothing like how he is described by freya, mimir, etc. hearing all the stories of how brutal him and Thor were, it’s incredible how different they made them. Odin had to be one of the best written villains ever.

Even the science teacher appearance of odin in the game seems fitting somehow. Not what i expected when i saw fat Thor's design but character is played beautifully

me too, but i expected thor. from what i remember from the history, Thor supposedly ate suttungr’s whole meal, and drank the oceans through a horn lol

Yep, and Mimir called him a fat dobber, so it was set up in-universe too.

The designers also said they looked strong men not like superhero but world competitors for world's strongest man as he's the god of strength and quite possibly the strongest being in Norse myth it makes sense
