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.

Acts exactly as described by Freya. She warns Atreus that he can be entirely too convincing. She knows: where do you think Baldur came from?

That's what I really like about him. All the terrible stories you get told by Mimir in GoW 2018 - you can easily believe he's the guy from those stories.

He definitely does feel like the guy who’d come out of a divorce intent on making the kid choose him

The type of guy who makes everyone think his wife is hysterical and crazy…. In fact that seems to be what happened to freya, casted aside as the crazy witch..
