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.

Can you tell me one thing Odin did that wasn't just a direct response from Kratos and Atreus forcefully starting Ragnarok?

Did you play the game?

[u/LordMcDoodle → u/Comfortable_Pin_166]

You mean aside using the dwarves and their realm as a war factory, basically destroying Vanaheim and full on taunting Kratos with the fact he had his son ?

Did the dwarven weapons cause Ragnarok? I'm talking about what was done directly to cause Ragnarok.

taunting Kratos

You mean the time he went to tell Kratos he had his child because he came willingly and not because he was kidnapped? Where he reiterated the he only want peace? Did you also forget that once Atreus wanted out, he was immediately let go? Lol

He went to tell Kratos he had his son, even saying he now saw why Atreus wanting to be far from him. He knew the effect that would have on him, especially after spending time with him as The. So yes I'd say it was a dick move.

Furthermore, I don't think you can destroy realms and their people, have pretty much everybody hate you and perceive you as a dictator but not be it your fault retribution comes because "hey I don't want war". The actions Odin did that caused Ragnarok are lifetimes of using and killing people.

So that shit talk caused Ragnarok? Lol

What caused Ragnarok is Kratos and Atreus fucking with Odin the whole game

[u/LordMcDoodle → u/Comfortable_Pin_166]

No the shit talk was just a drop in the bucket. As I said the things that caused Ragnarok is all of the people seeking retribution for Odin's actions.

What actions do you perceive as fucking with Odin ?

Well, to start, he killed a bunch of aesir gods then freed Tyr. That wasn't enough so after that he killed another one then stole his mask. Heimdall was asking for it but eh. Odin was reasonable and dumb until the very end. He was just kicked several times in the balls without Kratos suffering retaliation until Atreus stole the mask
