Head canon about the mask👀

I really do feel inclined to believe what Odin's says despite all the signs that say don't do that. But Freya did say that even when Odin tells the truth that his purpose is false soooo... I think he was telling the truth about what he knew/believed about the mask.

The mask is the answer to any and all questions, possibly the answers to magic that would otherwise be impossible in the Nine Realms. Odin said that he doesn't know where he goes when he dies so he wants to know and wants to know potentially how to prevent Ragnarok. Makes sense. This man doesn't want to die, doesn't want his people, realm to die, and fears the unknown.

Or so he says. Assuming he's telling the truth about the mask but not his purpose with wanting it, I'd say there's truth in the fear of the unknown because Odin constantly craves knowledge. He wants absolute control over himself, Asgard, all the realms, everyone as people, and possibly to extend his control further if he feels like it... So the mask, in Odin's hands, could be a tool to control everything in the realms because it grants him all knowledge to do so

It's confusing #Was it a trap? Did Atreus save the Nine Realms by destroying it? It could have been a trap from another faraway place that could have lead #to the destruction of the Nine Realms from another pantheon #Lowkey do feel bad that Odin essentially wasted so much of his life after figuring it out when he could have been a good ruler and king #This man could have been the benevolent ruler people believed he was and it's so sad that he became corrupted twisted and paranoid
