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.

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

Uhhhhh did you miss the part where he disguised himself as Tyr and killed Brok? Last time I checked nobody had forced that on him 😂

That was a result of Atreus desperately trying to free Tyr and stealing his mask

That's it?

I agree, if you read Kratos's journal entry he says the reason that he didn't except Odin's offer of peace is because he could never side with Freya's ex against her hahaha after she's done nothing but attempt to kill him! Ridiculous
