    Kratos emphasizes on his diary that the thing that made him completely dismiss Odin's offer was his veiled threat to Freya. Even after she's been nothing but a huge danger to them for the last three years, even after her son came after them and almost killed both him and his son more than once, Kratos doesn't for one moment ever stop caring about Freya or holds her anger against her, not hesitating to refuse what really sounded like a great deal. I really love these two's relationship in this game more than any other.

Who knows, maybe the Norns told him a prophecy and he wanted to avoid it, or Zeus pissed him off. In a way, if that theory holds truth, that means Odin pushed enough of Kratos' buttons to set him on a path to destroy the Greek Pantheon.

    Little detail for those who've finished the game/know the story: you can actually see one of Fenrir's 4 soul "parts" hang back and go into Atreus' knife while the other 3 fly away. Of course no one would notice, but since we know now that Atreus later finds out and uses it to revive Fenrir in Garm's body, we notice it's been in front of us all along.

    The portrayal of Odin is surprisingly 'realistic' in this game. By that I mean that you hear all these stories of his monstrosities in the first game and than you see and hear him and think "that's supposed to be the awful guy everyone was talking about"? Had situations like that several time in real life.

    Atreus's voice is so weird. It makes sense because I think this takes place a few years after the events God of War 4. (Well, it does obviously take place after GoW4, I just don't know the timeline.) but it's crazy to see how far these two have come.
    I like the attention to detail with Fenrir's death, though. Atreus stated he was doing a little better yesterday, but died anyway. Of course, this phenomenon is called "The Surge before Death" and basically occurs when someone is about to die. They gain a significant boost of energy which makes others believe they'll get better, when in reality, they're basically in a state of overdrive where their body is putting in so much effort, that they start to feel fine. This surge can vary from hours to years. Do you all care about this? Probably not, but it's cool either way.
