@@FenDweller13 Bro you guys are killing it with the interpretations! I didn't even think of that till you said it damn. She's hooked on drugs(souls) in order to forget her pain (her people being slaughtered) and is hurting others by drowning in addiction. It really is crazy to think about.
I feel for both Angroboda and Gryla. The former has been living on her own and the latter never truly processed her grief. Never had a chance to properly heal.
Gryla's outburst towards Angrboda telling her she won't be remembered is actually both heartbreaking and faithful to source material at the same time. In actual Norse mythology Angrboda's only importance is being the mother of Loki's children, Finrir, Jörmungandr and Hel, and there's almost nothing else on her.
I love angroboda's facial expression as she's walling away and hearing her grandma belittle her. It's like she's about to breakdown crying. Corey knocked it outta the park here.
This is a very sad and tragic story. Gryla is the survivor of the Jotnar Genocide which decimated her kind to a mere handful of individuals. She lost friends, family and outlived her own child. Now she is lost in grief and bitterness while trying find some kind of comfort in solitude and soul theft. I think she is broken on the inside like Kratos was once and Sundri is currently - to a point to where I assume she became a complete loner unable and perhaps unwilling to take care of her own granddaughter. My assumption is that Angrbroda reminds her grandmother of her own daughter and that fills her with grief and pain to a point that rendered her unable (or unwilling) to really take care of her own grandchild. This is not an excuse but a reason and she doesn't mean all the hurtful things she is yelling at Angrbroda. P.S.: I assume that in a rather distant future Loki and Angrbroda will have a little child named Hel. That makes me wonder how Gryla will react to that...
@@jackjax7921 I know right. It seems people these days judge games solely on if it's a good movie or not. Gameplay don't matter no more. Last of Us Part 2 is a perfect example. People hated it but praised the improve gameplay mechanics but the overall game was ripped because they hated the story and Abby.
@@BUPMY1 no? People care about both of them. Games like Elden Ring and Minecraft wouldn't be as highly praised as they are if they weren't so fun to play. GoW is just the best of both worlds.
I use to love the characters she played on Mad Tv. Especially Oprah. No wonder her voice was familiar. You go Debra Wilson. You were always a laugh during my childhood. "You are now watching Mad Tv .......MAD". 💯
Gryla was actually named after a Giantess on Icelandic Folklore on Christmas. It was said she would kidnapped bad childrens and eat them alive by throwing them into her cauldron.
@@marikostarkov You know how to count Too?! Where did you learn to perform such an amazing feat?! It was the “only fight with a giant” the last game promised “Ragnarök”(battle between Jotunheimr, Asgardr, Hel) All we got was a broken pot, you call *THIS* a boss fight? Do you consider cooking soup *A BATTLE?!*
@@marikostarkov I’m more confused did you play the game At All? Did you play the last game? Did you wait four years hearing about Giants just to get This? *This Is All We Got* fuck Surtr he’s background animation the only Jötunn ever fought in Gow was A Grandma Armed With A Bowl. So there shouldn’t be Any confusion This wasn’t even a Boss fight It’s A Fucking Bowl. The battle against the last fire giant in Elden Ring was better than this And He Fought With A Bowl Too. That’s what I mean, this entire “boss fight” is a joke
I have to say that I am blown away at Angrboda facial animation when her grandma is yelling at her while leaving. You can tell she is just doing everything she can to not cry or look back. Like her emotions are just barely being contained in that moment.
This is probably the only time I've seen the "giant boss attacking platforms" actually makes sense and feels right instead of feeling like "a huge slow baby hitting the table" boss most other games(hell even GoW has its share with kraken, Hephaestus, scylla, etc) have. Not only does the location justify the platforms -- the boss being a granny means she would naturally pause between doing stuff, unlike monsters or whatever you'd expect to keep up it's onslaught but don't because gameplay. Even the exposing weakness bit makes sense. Angraboda's handholding tips is too much though. Like, girl, Atreus heard you the 1st time about attacking the rune on the pot, no need to keep repeating yourself.
It would if this was an entire game dedicated to Atreus and then Ragnarok was a 3rd game where Atreus reunites with Kratos and you switch between the 2 during battles
Reporter on the scene: "A couple of teenage delinquents break into a 70-year-old woman's house this morning and beat her before destroying a priceless family heirloom. The pair is a young white male roughly 15 years old named Atreus; however, he often goes by his street name, 'Loki;' the other is the woman's granddaughter. I am here with Atreus's father to discover why his son has done this. Sir, do you know why your son Atreus has turned to crime?" Kratos: "Boi..." Reporter: "Sir?" Kratos: "His name...is Boi."
I really like the symbolism of Gryla being blind in her right eye, like Odin. But while Odin gained cosmic knowledge through his blindness, Gryla states that she has forgotten so much. Its an interesting duality.
It's funny, had this been the original trilogy, Gryla would most likely have suffered a slow, unnecessarily cruel demise. But the almost pacifist methods here, and that race between Atreus and Angrboda, it shows how far the series has come.
Ah yes fighting a cringe giant black woman and only hitting and breaking her bucket totally means the series have improved, I surely prefer this over fighting Poseidon or Hades
Love the story but can we take the time to appreciate how beautiful their locs are? Like as a man with locs myself they dis a great job with their hair😍. Visually this game has done a metric fuck ton and they have an amazing story locked in with it.
Yeah they been heavy on african dreadlocks on this one. Sooo much cultural diversity in our Norse Mythology.. I was surprised the music was still classical and not reggae.
After this segment I kept imagining how alice madness returns would look like if it was next gen and made by these devs. I love this part of the game so much.
The game tried to portray the humanity of the characters more than the actual mythology. It makes sense, because that is the reason why GOW Ragnarok is a masterpiece in terms of writing
This Games Isn’t Well Made Story Wise For Me Ragnarök Is A 7/10 Only Because Of The Story Rest Is Masterpiece So I Agree With You But They Could Have Made The Ragnarök Section More Better And More Boss Fights Like Forseti But I Heard That A DLC Is Coming So Hope It Changes My Mind . So This Game Sucks Cory Should Have Dircted It
@@sonicman9910 Fail. The giants can change their size, THE TITANS ARE THE CHILDREN OF THE SKY AND EARTH. The world serpent can bite his tail=he’s long Not Wide. So nice try but go read five lines of mythos before you try to rewrite hundreds of years of common sense.
I like how Gryla sounds like she’s saying something a giant would say in those fairy tales like the bean stalk like, “In my humble home? Having a bit of fun until your father croaks.”
Friendly reminder that little to no depictions of Angrboda actually exist. The ones that do exist are vague as hell and it's not easy to determine what the hell she's supposed to look like. True, the Norse probably didn't imagine her as black, but they also probably didn't imagine a Greek god showing up to their realm and throwing hands with their gods. Besides, each retelling of almost any myth massively changes depending on who tells it. There *is* no definitive version, especially considering most written records of Norse mythology were produced long after it was replaced by christianity as the dominant religion in Scandinavia. Giants in this game are also already massively inconsistent. There's people sized giants like Faye and Atreus and then there's Thaumur. The word 'Jotun' seems to apply to people by culture rather than any biology.
to steal souls from people and animals. *shudders*.. Angroboda is right. she HAD to be stopped before more dies needless. but what stops her from restore the cauldron?
Considering the depiction of Jotunheim in the game, I'm not too surprised that Angrboda and Gryla are darker skin if Jotunheim is the place they lived their whole lives. The Jotuns just seem to adapt to the environment they live in pretty well it seems.
I still think in terms of GOW 3, so ya know, kill everything that moves. The mindset really sells the message of Ragnarok though. It's easy to kill all of your enemies, and sometimes it feels good. Forgiveness isn't easy and it damn sure doesn't feel good all the time, but if you kill everyone before even giving them a chance or trying to understand them, then all you're doing is killing broken people.
Wow Angrboda's grandma is scary but cringe too when she lashed out his granddaughter "you are nothing", "you're just a chapter from HIS story", "i'll see you again you'll wish died with your parents" Hera you lose Wow my grandma will never said things like that
wow someone used the word cringe properly for once and not in "omg this sucks lol" kind of way and yea grylas lashing is so venomous it reminds me of irl falling outs with family it hurts to watch
@@marqueamore8467 it’s a comparison because a male & female companion are fighting for their lives against a giant monster; in Little Nightmares 1 & 2, it’s pretty much the same concept.
For those who wonder what's gonna happen to Grýla after this: She's slowly recovering, it would seem. She's helping Angrboða forage for things in Járnviðr.
Jotnar came in all shapes qnd sizes, and I mean literally ALL shapes and sizes. Some looked like regular mortals, some were giant humans, some were living landscapes, some were big trolls, some were tiny and goblin-like, and some were simply giant beasts(Skoll and Hati). Additionally, many jotnar were master sorcerers, such as Loki and Ùtgardaloki(the master of illusions)
Atreus:She is so strong Lol I about died when he said this, because if she was that strong she definetly wouldnt even being struggling aganist 2 kids that havent even hit there ceiling in potential in a pull struggle
It is for Atreus. You have to remember that while Atreus has shown he's far stronger than even most low tier gods thanks to Kratos and Faye's bloodlines, and Angroboda is a full blooded giant, they're up against an elder giant. Even if she's weak and old, she's still a giant
gryla had a more intense reaction to her cauldron being destroyed than odin had to the mask being broken during ragnarok where he was fated to die. the most he did was a little old man yell and ask "what was it all for?" before proceeding to die lol
This boss had maximum abusive self destructive sad relative energy. That energy of “i cant figure out how to be happy so ill get my kicks from making everything close to me hurt. Even though it makes me hurt too.”

For some reason I can't help but draw a parallel between breaking the cauldron, and taking the bottle away from an alcoholic parent or grandparent.
Oh...OHHHH oh wait a minute thats....damn great comparison
Gryla's decayed mental state and hostility is also similar to dementia, especially given her age.
Gryla’s need for souls is very much like alcohol or drugs, she takes them to temporarily drown the pain of her memories at the expense of others
@@FenDweller13 Bro you guys are killing it with the interpretations! I didn't even think of that till you said it damn. She's hooked on drugs(souls) in order to forget her pain (her people being slaughtered) and is hurting others by drowning in addiction. It really is crazy to think about.
Think that was the point lol
I feel for both Angroboda and Gryla. The former has been living on her own and the latter never truly processed her grief. Never had a chance to properly heal.
Grief bringer is her name
Ikr gryla lost two children it seems her son and a daughter in law she saw as her own tragic ass story
Makes sense why she kept bringing up Atreus mourning kratos. Self projection much
She is basically become a drug addict….that’s tough
@@anselmopat4985 basically

@@edryctan672 she is a GAIA on crack😂
THERE'S A WILD GORILLA ON THE LOOSE!
She tried crushing them by slamming her heavy body at 2:32! I wonder what would happen to a normal person under such a giant weight?
Dead
Meat putty
This gives me Jack the Giant Slayer vibes.

THERE’S WILD GORILLA ON THE LOOSE? Is it a charcoal gryla or a propane gryla?! She’s extra dangerous because she uses Gryla tactics!
Damn that’s sad! Gma acting like that 😢 but beautiful story telling through out even with the race! Haha so cool

Never in a million years did i think i was gonna fight a giant black woman in god of war
@Sün Yook!ng bro what?
@@AdolfHitler-lk4vo wasn't she voiced by a black women
Careful with that shit my man
2:25 I like how protective angrboda got when gryla started squeezing Atreus😭❤
Went from God of War to Little Nightmares.
I don’t see the comparison other than a giant boss but okay.
@@marqueamore8467 it’s a comparison because a male & female companion are fighting for their lives against a giant monster; in Little Nightmares 1 & 2, it’s pretty much the same concept.
@@AlastorAltruistGaming little nightmares is literally not the first game was with that.
Her story hits so hard man ): I love angrboda
For those who wonder what's gonna happen to Grýla after this:
She's slowly recovering, it would seem. She's helping Angrboða forage for things in Járnviðr.
This game deserves game of the Year best at academy awards 😂 I love this game
Funny you should mention that because that's exactly what happened it literally got a prize for being game of the year there's a UA-cam video on it
Remember in God of War Ragnarok when they made you fight a dementia ridden black grandma named gorilla? I remember that
😆😆
Debra Wilson showing everyone she got that range
Am I the only one who cried to this?
Got to say I love how atreus welcomes everyone either with his bow or with his knife
“You’re pitiful giants! The both of you!”
Can someone explain the size difference if they are related? I'm stumped
"Giant stuff"
Giant is just a loose term for a special kind of race since they were all of varying sizes.
Giant is giants the soul key is magic they can resize themselves
@@genesisnama5022 Cool, you can increase your dong size lol.
Jotnar came in all shapes qnd sizes, and I mean literally ALL shapes and sizes. Some looked like regular mortals, some were giant humans, some were living landscapes, some were big trolls, some were tiny and goblin-like, and some were simply giant beasts(Skoll and Hati).
Additionally, many jotnar were master sorcerers, such as Loki and Ùtgardaloki(the master of illusions)
That woman takes 0 accountability

If kratos is there she is dead quickly
Someday they will say, " Your grandfather was the God of War and Peace ".
Some day they will say "STFU" that day is today "STFU"
Good thing he doesn't become known as the god of Love and Peace. Then he'd have to start wearing all red and change his name to Vash.
@@HaddaClu Vash the Stampede? But but but ...
It's entirely another series.
And gun slinging is Bayonetta's and Dante's job, not Kratos.
Atreus:She is so strong
Lol I about died when he said this, because if she was that strong she definetly wouldnt even being struggling aganist 2 kids that havent even hit there ceiling in potential in a pull struggle
It is for Atreus. You have to remember that while Atreus has shown he's far stronger than even most low tier gods thanks to Kratos and Faye's bloodlines, and Angroboda is a full blooded giant, they're up against an elder giant. Even if she's weak and old, she's still a giant
Hard to believe this is the mother of the Yule Lads. If they ever make an Atreus spinoff game I wonder if he'll get to fight them?
Break my heart in this scene
Darkest Boondocks episode ever
Black parents and grandparents actually look this big when you're in trouble🤣
I believe Gryla will later calm down after Ragnarok passes along with Odin's death.
Black deities in Scandinavia, sure.
Why is it that when people refuse to let go, they all become a variation of Kratos?
I love that Debra Wilson is the go to for diversity in your game to avoid "controversy"
Gryla is actually like a female Krampus in Christmas legends
the theme song and lyrics for Gryla's fight are just perfect
Best sequence in the game for me
I thought I recognized that voice. That's the VA for Savathun in The Witch Queen

Debra Wilson
She's also the Harbinger in Halo Infinite. She's in a lot of games, really.
But Savathun is her best work IMO. She delivered and then some.
Is it a charcoal Gryla or a propane Gryla?
Young kratos wouldve just instantly killed her.
So true
Honestly old kratos would've to if he had been there considering she tried to kill his son.
He would have found a way to slam her head into the cauldron repeatedly until both it and her head shattered to pieces.
Enemies you want to kill but the game won't let you
Sooooo they break into her grandma house just to break her crockpot
And expected her to be happy about it.
gryla had a more intense reaction to her cauldron being destroyed than odin had to the mask being broken during ragnarok where he was fated to die. the most he did was a little old man yell and ask "what was it all for?" before proceeding to die lol
Angrboda is so beautiful. Her emotions are so realistic that I felt like I was there with her and wanted to hug her.
This boss had maximum abusive self destructive sad relative energy. That energy of “i cant figure out how to be happy so ill get my kicks from making everything close to me hurt. Even though it makes me hurt too.”
What wolf does she have?? Is it fenrir or skoll or hati?
It's a random wolf
just a random wolf ashe can summon
Or a big fennec fox.
Gryla would be murdered if it's skool or hati the worse is Fenrir and their size difference
Ohhh okay gotcha gotcha thanks y’all jw lol I guess Atreus just got a thing for protecting wolves. Understandable tho his son is one lol

If this is the max size for giants then they are absolutely Tiny compared to the titans
Jormugandr is a Jotnar too, so was the dead stone mason in the 2018 game
oh
Remember the dead giant that Freya brought back to life and used in GOW2018?
@@the.orthodox.photographer2272 he was the largest frost gaint anyways not the largest gaint
It's not.
Jourmandr and thamur are both bigger so no
And their both frost giants
Kratos: THATS THE WAY BEAT THAT GIANT AS I DO!!!!
This fight was so wacky lol
Wacky are you kidding me you clown.
