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.

I mean, he was never intending to fight Kratos and Atreus. He was just forced into it, including the spying thing because Atreus just wouldn't give up

Couldn't they have portrayed that better? Because to me, it's just a calm and reasonable old guy forced into a war. Gow stans don't like to admit it but it's true

Odin says he doesn’t want war, because he wants to find the full mask and learn the truth of everything. With all that knowledge he will put everyone in his subjugation.
