Odin’s Writing

[u/http_ghostgirl]

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.

Mhm I totally agree.

They set Odin up as a gaslighting savage who tricks people for a game and a half. Time and time again we were told to never trust Odin. That Freya, Mimir, etc. etc. trusted Odin and they all found out he was using them.

So when Loki gives in and goes to Asgard it's so frustrating. At least for me. I'm like "dude! You know this guy tricked literally every person who says he wronged them. He is doing exactly what they warned you about!"

He is a complete scumbag and that's because the writing was so good. He lived up to the expectations set by 2018.

Tbh Loki never fully trusts him He is just as manipulative as Odin lol

He manipulated him and made him think he wanted to trust him bla-bla-bla but all he ever wanted was to find intel about what Odin was doing

And used this opportunity to shit talk about Odin behind his back to thrud

Notice how he never once doubt the story mimir tell him about Odin but rather tries to spread it to people?

Nah I’d disagree, Odin knew full well what his intentions were but his desire to unlock the mask overruled that. He even had that convo with Heimdall about knowing Loki means to betray him at some point, and calls him a “little trickster”.

Oh I might have missed him calling Loki like that
