Rating the GOW Odinsons on how well they would twerk

Thor: 9

I think everyone can agree that Thor has the most booty!!! Like??? He's double-cheeked up on a Thursday afternoon with hella ass!!! When the sun is still out!!! So he seems like a perfect 10/10 right??? Well unfortunately Thor needs to get tipsy first because there's no way in Hel he's gonna twerk sober!!! As a result of his drunkness, Thor wouldn't have have good tempo/wouldn't be perfectly on beat. However, his thunderous ass claps would hard carry.

Týr: 3

As much as I love Týr, there is no way he's getting a good rating. First of all, this man is built like a rectangle so there's barely any curves or ass. Secondly, I can't imagine him having any dancing skills because he's too shy to move his body and his long limbs make it difficult. Sure he traveled the world and saw new dances but out of respect, he wouldn't try any of it. Plus at the end of the day, he's a lanky white boy, so I don't think he has any rhythm. Tbh the only positive I can see is that he'll try his best.

Heimdall: -100

This man couldn't twerk to save his life.

Baldur: 8.5

Now why would I rate Baldur so high??? Well, firstly this man absolutely will twerk without question, so he doesn't need to be drunk to do any goofy shit. Secondly, he's crazy and skilled enough to try all sorts of twerking styles and methods (like twerking upside-down). Thirdly because of his (curse) immortality, he has unlimited stamina and can twerk for hours on end. Fourthly because he lacks physical sensation, his other senses are probably heightened and stronger. So it's likely that he can hear better and therefore be more on beat. Lastly, Baldur definitely has enough boredom and free time to master a dancing skill just for the fun of it. The only negative is that he has an average ass, so he can't get it clapping.

This is a thought I had about God of War Ragnarok that I feel like I've not seen anyone else discuss but has plagued my mind since it ended. Everyone - characters and players alike - seem to forget that Brok accepted his death at Odin's hand.

Let me elaborate.

Brok (and Sindri) built Mjolnir for Thor. He had worked with the Aesir in the past. And, upon seeing the horrible destruction wrought from the hammer, created the Leviathan Axe for Faye. He was also a dwarf, and while we may not know the exact timeline of Asgard's occupation, he is obviously well aware of what Odin did in his home realm - specifically to what happened to dwarves who attempted revolution or other uprising.

The point is, Brok was very aware of what Odin and Asgard were like when he decided to help Kratos and Atreus.

Now, on to Post-Brok's death.

Obviously Sindri is heartbroken, and I cannot blame him for his anger against Atreus and Kratos in any way at this point in time. They were the people who effectively recruited Brok and Sindri into the protagonists' group, and even if the two dwarves were happy to do it, Kratos and Atreus were still the ones who asked them to. Brok's death resulted from that request.

But it was still Brok's informed and willing choice.

To quote Freya from God of War 2018, "I put my needs, my fears before [Baldur's] own." And that feels very much like what Sindri has done with Brok in my opinion.

When Brok originally died in the forge, Sindri saved him but refused to tell Brok what happened and in turn caused their split. When he died a second time by Odin's hand, Sindri came to blame Atreus (and to some extent the others), regardless of Brok's agency and knowledge of what he was getting into. Brok knew that they were heading towards Ragnarok and feasibly their deaths. He obviously didn't want to die, but he openly accepted the risks that came with aiding Atreus.

Sindri placed his own fear of being alone above the desires of Brok to know how he died and to help with Ragnarok.

I should add here that it's one thing for Sindri to blame Atreus initially, because he was grieving the death of his beloved brother and literally about to go to war. I won't blame him for that.

But, given what's been set up in the games, Sindri will probably continue to be antagonistic. And, if he continues to blame Atreus for what happened to Brok - it will draw an interesting parallel to Kratos and Freya in my opinion.

One party blaming the other for the death of a loved one that was partially the blamed person's fault, while the true culprit (Odin in both cases) is left unacknowledged. In the first case, Odin is ignored because Freya could not get to him, but she could get to Kratos and blame him for Baldur's death. In the second case, Odin is already dead by Sindri's own hand, Brok's soul cannot be revived, and Sindri mostly lacks the power to do more that tell Atreus he hates him. There is no satisfying vengeance to Sindri's grief that hasn't already been achieved, which is why I think he'll be an antagonist in the future, since he's obviously still angry.

There's also a side-tangent I could write on - the fact that Sindri was sent to rally the dwarves against Asgard, but chose not to involve them during Ragnarok. Obviously it did successfully keep the dwarves safe, which was Sindri's intention - but it robbed them of their ability to fight for their freedom during Ragnarok (something they probably wanted to do very badly considering the rebellions talked about in the game), which is once again a parallel to Kratos, Freya, and Baldur's death.

We see it in almost every other aspect of the games' story. Atreus and Kratos lying or withholding details from each other - not maliciously, but with the intent to protect in a way that backfires (in both 2018 and Ragnarok). The same with Freya and Baldur (her protection spell driving him insane), and even with Thrud, Thor, and Sif (her mother claiming that Thrud can't be a Valkyrie because Sif is afraid of what Odin will make her do in that role, while Thor encourages it so that she might be strong enough to keep herself safe).

And finally, Sindri claiming that Brok's death was the fault of Atreus despite Brok's informed and willing choice to fight Odin, denying Brok agency over his choice to help, even in death.

A quote Kratos from God of War Ragnarok to sum this whole thing up, "I do not regret saving your life and never will. But the choice between life and death should have been yours to make. I should not have robbed you of that choice."
