VALHALLA God of War: Ragnarök

God of Hope

[vindicia]

A god of war... a god of pain, of suffering, of destruction. The Norns said I chase a redemption that I know I can never deserve. What does that make me? God of fools? A god of... hope.

He's Back

Champion of the Johtunar

I always wondered exactly how old Atreus was in the games and when looked it up, I found that he was 11 in the first game and 14 in the second.

Three years.

He has grown up sick for most of his life until the first game. That means that Atreus went from a sick little boy,

to being an amazing support for his father against Dragons, Valkyries and Odin's family, being able to kill tens of elves on his own and being the first person to get in Johtunheim in hundreds of years,

to being extremely well versed at magic and learning it from first glance, being able to stand his own against most enemies and transform into animals and summon spectral animals to fight for him, finding the secrets of the giants and being the first to break away from prophecy and make his own path, going against his own father's wishes (his only protection) knowing who he was to save him, using Odin and Thor to his advantage risking getting slaughtered by Thor or worse by Odin, neutralising Garm which no one in the realms could do and they had to imprison it, bringing about Ragnarok and surviving it while saving lives and killing only Odin.

While being a 14 year-old with only three years of training.

Don't shit on my boy Atreus. He on his way to surpass his father.

ever think about how genuinely insidious the tyr reveal actually was with the context of being able to get to know tyr in the dlc. the entire time odin was straight up mocking one of his victims with the most "PTSD is cowardice" type caricature he could muster. as someone with C-PTSD it felt like a personal smack in the face I was almost genuinely enraged on tyr's behalf

tyr's cool tho. go king give us therapy

"because for us, fighting occupies the body while our minds work out the rest"

Odin made everyone believe that Tyr had become a coward, when in fact he always understood the value of fighting for the right cause

[frootertooter]

"You are cruel, and arrogant, and selfish... But you are more than that. You have always been more than what others saw."

A quick late night render- Been thinking about that line from the speech at the end of GOWR: Valhalla a lot,,

GOWR: VALHALLA DLC IS MY OWN GAME OF THE YEAR

Holy shi, finally we don't have to beat up young Kratos.

He never wanted this throne, this life, this godhood.

All he ever asked was to stop the pain.

He didn't receive what he asked and he chose... chose? We really need to speak outloud that turning completely insaine is not a choice? It is an answer to the pressure of the circumstances, of the guilt... Of the self-hatered he felt.

All of this broke him and Kratos is unfortunately too hard on himself to simply accept that he was too weak for this weight, but anyway his non-violent trial of his past self is a big step.

Maybe one day he will finally hug this young scared spartan boi, who lost everything. And completely forgive him. Once and for all.

I think about the new GoW games a lot. I just like them.

What I sort of observed on my second observation of Ragnorok's story was a lot of Odin-as-false-Tyr's interactions with others and 1) He makes me SO mad but 2) I think his dynamic or intentions with REAL Tyr are so interesting based on how he acted.

For one, maybe it was his intention to be as seemingly useless/passive as Tyr as possible, but in the Alfenheim quest, I did wonder if perhaps he saw and was confused by the lack of power he had as Tyr to convince others of anything. My mind goes to that phrase that went around that was like "One can only be Peaceful if they're capable of great harm, otherwise they're just harmless". As Odin, he's able to subtly convince others based on the sheer amount of bloody credit to his word. Every word has double meaning so he can step away from a situation with clean hands if he's called out. I think he got used to that, and was actively confused when the elves, who Tyr worked with so successfully, didn't pay him any mind.

I'm ESPECIALLY happy that we get to see who REAL Tyr is in the Valhalla DLC because he's perfect. He's kind, basically a therapist, but also INCREDIBLY capable. He's SCARY and it makes him feel like so much more. Like you know based on how he's able to outright STOP Kratos every time he loses that he's just sparring. Holding back. He is capable of great harm. He just chooses not to. That's not who he is. I don't think Odin was able to grasp that, and could only pantomime it by making Tyr unwilling to fight. Because all he saw was a resigned, traumatized version. Or maybe Tyr knew about the events needed to unfold, too. The ones that would prevent the greater harm the first predicted Ragnorok would bring on. Maybe he KNEW Fey, and her own predictions, the reality that would change the path.
