    There are 2 more possibilities
    1. He didn't die and just teleported away to save himself. Its kinda hinted that he can teleport when he does a Batman and suprises Odin by appearing behind him in the scene before the Muspelheim mission.
    2. The devs didn't want his body hanging around during the boss fight.

    9:25 you do not watch long enough. If you keep watching and look at the Hammer when Odin grabs it, those blue flakes are still around. I believe Giant magic put him in the Hammer. Remember how Thor puts mead on Mjölnir in the beginning of the game ? I think it is an extension of the Thunder God
    My theory is he actually went into Mjölnir when he died. The games have a theme of spirits being in weapons. We see his body diminish like Fenrirs unlike Baldur,Magni and Heimdell. We see many clues of the weapon “being alive” and Thrud also says “I’ll make you proud dad” before taking the hammer and flying off. What if this is them telling us that Thor is in the hammer and will help Thrud in her journey as a Shield Maiden.

    7:39 Still, to this day, this scene is that well made that I can't figure it out what Athena truly meant by "Forgive me .. brother." On one hand, she may be referring to Kratos as "brother", so she showed empathy for Kratos' misery. On the other hand, that "brother" could mean Ares, so she is truly sorry for the fact that she stopped Ares from killing Kratos on the day Deimos was kidnapped. Also she may be sorry for aiding Kratos in killing Ares, because it seems Kratos is worse than Ares. The first time I heard this line, Ares came to my mind. For me, the "brother" being Ares just made much more sense in that context.

    • @HitmanHimself
      @HitmanHimself Рік тому +8

      Nice Thought, I always thought she was referring to kratos as brother and showing empathy for him. That brother could be for ares aswell but I also doubt she had any love for ares, tho Athena never hated Ares or wanted him dead(Until Ares attacked Athens in GoW1) but Ares always tried to defame her sister and didn't like her as Athena was Zeus' favourite child. But when ares became a nuisance to olympus and attacked her city, she tasked kratos to get rid of Ares.
      So I don't know who she was referring to.. can be either, i incline more on kratos just because the devs might be using that dialogue to indicate that Athena is Kratos' sister..
      Now that u have thought about it being ares, even if game devs didn't intend it to ares initially they might change it and tell that in an interview lol, not eve kidding 😂

It's about the better of 2 evils, "the lesser evil". Anyways, your point about devs showing that Athena is Kratos' sister and everything, I agree too. And the devs wont confirm or deny either of these situation for sure 😅, that is the beauty of the situation.

    @boriquamoniqua Рік тому +26

    Thanks for the shoutout Kuba! I do want to address the topic of whether or not you consider Thor's sacrifice a "selfless sacrifice" - here's an answer you can get behind:
    "Its a fair argument to say it wasn't really a sacrifice. It wasn't as straightforward as Athena's. But after his fight with Kratos, Kratos tells him, we must be better, for the sake of our children. In the end when he stands up against Odin, his change of heart, he died for Thrud & Sif, to be better, for the sake of his children. Remember what Brok said, it's not the "form" of a thing that matters, but the "nature" of a thing. His form was that of a Destroyer, but his nature, a man seeking forgiveness. (Its not the outside that matters, but whats on the inside) I think in the end, he changed his nature and it wasn't for him, but for his family. That's just the way I saw it anyways. The way he died and what happens to him was convincing enough for me."

    Not sure. But I’d like to see a twist on the next game. It would be cool to see Kratos on the defensive end to fight off another pantheon invading the Norse lands after Ragnarok. Could tie up some loose ends and be a unique twist in how these games usually play out. In that scenario I would like the Celtic gods to invade. Maybe this could be where Thor is brought back.

    Why does everyone forget that Thor is half Giant? The particle effect used on Thor's death is the same we saw when Kratos and Atreus spread Faye's ashes, and at the end of the dream Kratos has when he is on a boat with Faye and baby Atreus. Maybe it's just the way they use to symbolize the death of a Giant.

    I have to add that Athena was pretty much the same kind of a-hole were at the end of GoW3 as the Olympians were throughout the game. She wanted the power of hope to rule of mortals and seemingly rebuild Greece to her desires. Athena is written as being just like Zeus, and she's just physically ascended. That's a departure for her GoW1 and 2 depictions, but it's still similar to her GoW 2018 depiction.
    If one is ascended to this Higher Plain of Existence, it doesn't seem to make you a better person. So, you probably don't need to be a good person to get there.

    Despite he is god, he is still also half-giant, so his soul could went into Light of Alfheim just like other giants like Faye or probably his mother Fjorgyn, maybe this is the reason why Thrúd was in Alfheim with Mjornir to make contact to his soul. I have also theory that after he died, his soul went into Mjornir just like one part of Fenrir’s soul went into Atreus’ knife.

    Kuba, do you think sindri will be able to forgive kratos and atreus? Will he be the vehicle by which the Norse saga ends, maybe involving something from the spark of the world? Sindri is incredibly talented and rightfully pissed at us for the death of brok. It makes me think he might be able to send us away for good and, in his eyes, get revenge.
    This could also work narratively if he separates us from atreus by making vengeance the reason for us 'losing' another child. It could be a way to force kratos into thinking about a bigger picture and thus lead into the higher plane of existence potentially. It could even force him to lash out again and bring back some of that old kratos rage in order to try and get back to midgard.

    In the first game we see Magni's body stay there, Atreus points out that he did not make his way to Valhalla because Gods find their own way to Valhalla but he did not because Odin closed the way to prevent Kratos from getting into Asgard. Perhaps this was just Thor's soul finding its way to Valhalla before it was destroyed?

    I think Thor disintegrated as a result of Gungnir being a bifrost based weapon, getting bifrost on you in combat can potentially cause a large chunk of your health to be destroyed, and we never see the effects of bifrost in any other cutscene, so it may be that it’s supposed to dematerialize things, but they nerfed it in combat sections so the player wouldn’t just be killed in one hit by it.

      Baldur would’ve went to Valhalla but since he died after the battle he souls was commended to Helheim like in Norse myth. Heimdall likely went to Valhalla which is probably how Forseti learned Kratos killed him & passed the information along to Mist & Hrist.

  • @MrStreaty122
    @MrStreaty122 9 місяців тому

    A thought occurred to me whilst watching this video; what if the qualifying factor to get into the higher plane of existence has nothing to do with what you do but who you choose to be?
    The Norns told Kratos and Freya they were so easily predictable, which made the Norns appear to have powers of foresight, because they too set in their way to make different choices.
    Athena made the choice to sacrifice herself. To not be a proud and selfish God, and instead be a selfless and caring daughter.
    Thor made the choice to disobey Odin. To not be the obedient son, and instead be the good father.
    Kratos made the choice not to kill Thor. To not be the callous ruthless killer he was made to be, and instead show mercy, empathize with his enemy, and hope for a better outcome.
    Kratos’ own dialogue seemingly supports the idea of character growth being the driving force of the story.
    “We will be the gods we choose to be.”
    “Do not be sorry. Be better.”
    “We must be better than this.”
    “We must be better. For the sake of our children.”
    My point is reinforced even more now that the Valhalla DLC is out. It’s one massive therapy session for Kratos, demonstrating monumental character growth to the point he’s willing to accept his old title as God of War because he’s now redefined what that means.
    It’s about personal growth. Choosing to grow is what gets you into the higher plane, even if that means your immediate death.

But then Atreus will realise that he messed with the wrong person and real bad too and then maybe THOR or ATHENA from Higher Plane Of Existence will enter something like that... still just a fan story nothing more - THE END(Part-1)
