Atreus puts on the mask, says “It’s Lokin’ time” and proceeds to Jim Carey all over everyone in Asgard and stops Ragnarok with the power of godly gag comedy.
I mean in Norse mythology that mask is Loki's. Highly doubt it was a reference to it. If only atreus picked up the maracas. I mean, he did want to learn an instrument lol
It’s not a reference. It’s LITERALLY from Norse mythology lol. Did you never consider that? That’s like saying Thor’s hammer is a reference to the MCU lmaoo
@@jazzwarren6941 It's not from Norse mythology at all. It was made up in both cases. The original mask from the comics wasn't even Norse, it was never mentioned where it came from.
If the mask is supposed to be used by the champion of the giants, maybe it was not Loki, but in reality it was supposed to be Kratos since Fey saw him as the champion
One thing that's been made abundantly clear in the GOW games is that prophecies are more like guidelines and should be taken with several grains of salt.
If Atreus wore that mask and starts spinning around like a tornado until he had a green head and starts joking the ever living crap out of Odin, i'm wheezing out XD
@@everythingsalright1121 valkries: *swoop down to attack Atreus only to all violently crash into a sheet of glass he inconspicuously placed right in front of himself* Atreus: *gasps* what a shame! *looks to viewers* A billion valkyrie deaths are caused by window collisions each year folks!

the mask is connected to the source code of the multiverse. infinite knowledge. that much we know from the game. we also know that in one prophecy, loki is basically controlled by odin. it would likely overwhelm atreus' mind and make him a puppet to control.
I think Atreus would've ended up following in the line of Odin's cursed sons had he put on the mask. We see a pattern of Odin gifting things to his sons that effectively drive them mad/make them easier to control.
I love how in the mask movie that putting on that mask basically made you a nearly invincible god. The mask is probably one of lokis most dangerous creations especially since it’s technically on par w his power
imagine if odin, being his very serious mafia boss-esque character, wears the mask and suddenly appears in a red tuxedo and says “SMMMOKIN” like jim carrey does, that would be fuckin golden
The funny thing about the mask as a po culture icon is that the reason Stanley turned into an IRL cartoon character is twofold. He was a cartoonist by trade as well as the mask pulling his inner self into the outside resulting in a mashup of the two identities. Artists are somewhat self conscious about their work as well, so this also fits. Who's to say what Atreus might have gotten from it, though it might have been funny to see him go all Looney Tunes on Odin.
The whole time Loki holds the mask during my playthrough, I always say, "Smokin!" and my brother had to ask me why I was saying that. I can't believe my older brother didn't understand the reference. We both watched The Mask (movie and cartoon) when we were kids.
@@bukojoetheslapsoils8273 I am convinced that putting that mask on likely would have driven Atreus insane, all that information would overwhelm him, driving him to madness and truly transforming him into Loki the God of Mischief.
Do you wish the game provided the choice of an alternate ending in which Atreus actually wore the mask instead of breaking and returning it to the creation?
@@LT1597 true but the main point is the creative freedom in god of war is tasteful in MCU its horrible mostly in a if you care about mythology way that is.
Given how much of norse mythology was destroyed when christianity took over, God of War did a fantastic job going as close to the sources as possible, while also making an incredibly interesting story.
@@bargen0w unfortunately, every major and minor culture in close proximity to the norse were eradicated and/or forcefully assimilated by catholic/christian culture. Frankly, virtually all of Europe was shaped and formed by their hand.
I mean the mask was said to grant infinite knowledge. this includes the knowledge they are in a video game. giving them the ability to glitch out the game engine.
The mask is always there for all universes, realms etc. Reason for is to have infinite knowledge wherever you’re living imagine a scene where Atreus looks in the camera and says hi and starts rambling on bout his day or how the developers better put him and Angraboda in a semi serious relationship! You know the Jim Carrey snik.
I can't believe that the entire plotline about this mask that Odin obsessed over a eons just for it to be a movie reference. Just imagine Jim Carrey gets hit with everything Odin has and then say my turn pulling out a minigun
I've been waiting for someone to make the connection. I was like there's no way they made a Mask reference in this game and it literally be a major plot point.
I think that the mask was sent back into the past by future Loki of our lore. This future Loki is a much older version, who was a puppet of Odin. This Loki did trigger Ragnarok, but doomed all the realms in the process of beating Odin. The only way future Loki could fix this was to change tbe past where only Odin and Asgard would be destroyed. So he sent back this cursed mask back into the past. Future Loki knew from his time with Odin his weaknesses being obsessed to knowing everything. So he cursed the mask to weaken Odin to lose his eye and the mask to only react to his younger self knowing it would get Kratos involved since Odin would try to get to his younger self. This future Loki knew of his experiences with Kratos and knew he was capable of killing Odin, but needed the motivation to do so before he would get killed later by Odin's ploy. At this point, he needed to contact someone in the past to get Kratos to become the god of war again. This is where he contacted his mother and told her the future probably using the mask to communicate with her. Faye knew about her future and the future of the realms from future Loki. However, it was already prophesized by Groe that the events will happen like how it happened in future Loki timeline. I think that future Loki understood the nature of prophesies. That they are just guidelines that will happen but can be manipulated to a desired outcome under the right circumstances. Faye and future loki made a plan that would prompt Kratos to get involved with the gods. The trip to jotenheim with her ashes. They needed him to begin Ragnorak early when Surtyr is weak and Odin's relationships were crumpling from his mask obsession. That would ensure that Asgard would be weak and contain Ragnorak to asgard. When Kratos gets to Asgard, he will be able to win as the god of war. Faye hid the last mural because she believed that Kratos was strong willed enough to defeat Odin during the journey and didnt want to confuse him about prophecy.
the truth of creation "nothing matters and we are all gonna get swallowed by the void eventually, so why don't we have as much fun as we want till the end comes?"
In the reference sheet Rafa Grasseti says that Cory Barlog wanted the mask to be simply only to serve it"s purpose and in this sheet the mask from welll The Mask appeared for reference uses.
Anybody notice that when Kratos threw the spear into the mask, it went into the same eye that Odin is missing? So Odin was lying when he said it burnt him. When he looked into it, the future spear went into the mask and stabbed his eye out 👁️
Atreus: “S-S-Smokin! It’s Party Time! P-A-R-T-Y? Because I gotta!” Kratos: Atreus? Freya: What is happening. Odin: NOOO!!! THIS CANNOT BE IT!!! I NEED THE TRUTH!!!
I THOUGHT THE EXACT SAME SHIT THE MOMENT THE GREEN FUCKING MASK OF LOKI APPEARED, I WAS STARTING TO WONDER IF I WAS THE ONLY ONE WHO MADE THE CONNECTION
IM SO FUCKING GLAD THAT IM NOT THE ONLY ONE THAT THOUGH THE MASK IS LITERALLY TIED TO THIS, I MEAN EVEN THE COLOR OF THE RUNES AND THE RIFT TEAR HAS THE CLASIC GREEN COLOR OF THE MOVIE CHARACTER.
Ngl I was kinda disappointed that devs didn't let Atreus to atleast see into this thing and keep its contains in secret. Cause we were searching pieces of mask whole game and I was expecting at least SOMETHING and not just another moral drama of right choice
Yes, to be honest, why would he destroy it? Perhaps it would have made the world better like Odin said. There was no point to breaking it, other then just getting back at Odin.
Remember the light of Alfheim that Kratos stepped into in the 2018 game? Probably would have been the same situation if not worse for Atreus here. Atreus puts on the mask, looks through the eyes of Jim Carrey, meanwhile Odin kills Kratos while Atreus is frozen watching The Mask
Atreus has learned a lot in the game, the mask is some kind of magical shortcut which will never work, either it would drive him insane or it has some other huge big catch to it. Also true, Atreus has already seen what happened to Kratos in the light of Alfheim, this would be something a thousand times worse.
this is actually technically cannon. here's the quote Anthony Burch: I very, very vaguely remember: - I beat out a lot of the Loki/Odin plot arc and had them focusing on some sort of macguffin that represented Odin and Loki’s relationship - Either myself or Matt Sophos...I’m almost sure it was Matt Sophos...suggested the macguffin should be a mask because Loki is searching for identity etc etc I very specifically remember: - Googling the The Mask mask, sending it to Matt and also concept art, and at some point later on summarizing the plot of the game as ‘ssssssomebody stop Odin’”
My favorite part of gow Ragnarok was when Atreus put on the mask and told Odin "It's party time! P-A-R-T-Y? Because I gotta!" Then shot him with his tommy guns.
I thought it was a coincidence, but The Mask really does refer straight to Loki. But even funnier, the movie The Mask has no real reference to Norse mythology, so it must have been entirely invented. And then, GOW adapts it into their faithful and thorough research of Norse mythology. Awesome

Also true, Atreus has already seen what happened to Kratos in the light of Alfheim, this would be something a thousand times worse.
I immediately thought of this I'm so happy someone else made the connection
Kratos: "This is your choice son. I trust you."
Loki: *Puts on the mask and looks through the crack*
Kratos: 👁👄👁
Kratos : Aw shit ... booooooooooiiiiii !
Loki: You said you trusted me, you didn't say 'Don't look through the crack'.
this is actually technically cannon. here's the quote Anthony Burch: I very, very vaguely remember:
- I beat out a lot of the Loki/Odin plot arc and had them focusing on some sort of macguffin that represented Odin and Loki’s relationship
- Either myself or Matt Sophos...I’m almost sure it was Matt Sophos...suggested the macguffin should be a mask because Loki is searching for identity etc etc
I very specifically remember:
- Googling the The Mask mask, sending it to Matt and also concept art, and at some point later on summarizing the plot of the game as ‘ssssssomebody stop Odin’”
Amazing edit :)
I like how I rewatched this movie just yesterday
My favorite part of gow Ragnarok was when Atreus put on the mask and told Odin "It's party time! P-A-R-T-Y? Because I gotta!" Then shot him with his tommy guns.
I thought it was a coincidence, but The Mask really does refer straight to Loki. But even funnier, the movie The Mask has no real reference to Norse mythology, so it must have been entirely invented. And then, GOW adapts it into their faithful and thorough research of Norse mythology. Awesome
I’m glad I’m not the only one that noticed this I knew it was strikingly familiar with the mask from the mask movie
thank bro, i was planning on wearing loki's mask tomorrow
I wish they had have made this a choice arc.
So that we could also learn the thruth
_SsssssssMOKIN'!_
It’s been two decades since I’ve watched this. WHY didn’t I ever put these two together??? Makes so much sense! 😂
Atreus after putting on the mask: ITS SHOW TIME!
If he put that mask on, he would’ve been too powerful for even Kratos to stop, lol.
yes but he might have been under Odin's control, then Odin and Atreus would both have killed Freya and Kratos
