Thor was one of the most compelling characters introduce in this series, who could easily carry a game himself. Santa Monica Studio and Ryan Hurst did outstanding work on this mighty, frightening, badass and tragic character. A huge highlight every time he was screen.
I agree, I think it would be super cool if they made a Thor game

He died
At first through stories of Mimir, Thor sounds like a evil guy that does evil for fun or arrogance. But through the story of this game, more you realize Odin is the one causing him to do things he does. That's why he keeps drinking alcohol likely to forget it. Odin tells him "You don't think" likely referencing Thor shouldn't care about murdering the innocent is a right or wrong thing. That's why Thor also says "I love Hel walkers, you don't have to think after killing them" or something like that to Atreus. He regrets his actions but can't refuse orders of Odin. Likely he is afraid of him or worried about his family if he refuse Odin.
I think he wants his dad to love him. In game you see he always gets bashed and Odin says I like you better when your drunk which is probably why he drinks
@@kushjindal2939 he is evil, always was imo. His goal was always power and that just made him worse over time
That was the best thing about Thor. Even with all his strength, power, and durability he just wants his father to be proud of him. Not completely unlike Atreus. It really hits home when you consider that we see Thor both through his own actions and dialogue with his wife that he was/is a loving father and supporter and that it was most likely out of a sense of fear, and duty to Odin, his father, and his insecurities over Baldur being the favorite son that led him to commit all those atrocities across the realms.
@@kushjindal2939 he is crazy, evil, and most of all cunning. He knows what he is doing and is blaming it on fate/the ends justify the means. It was always about himself and his goal of power/knowledge. He only does things if it benefits him in the long run.
@@kushjindal2939 maybe killed her during child birth ?
Thor wondering why Kratos spared him was one of the most hard hitting scenes. He had ample opportunity to strike at Kratos and could have kept fighting but looked so confused at the idea of being spared for his daughter.
dads bond
Bro my jaw dropped when Kratos spared him and after that speech felt so proud of my guy talk about character development
Doesn't being spared means he can't go to Valhalla?
@@ClaytonTheCracker i mean he still died at the hands of a weapon, either way I think he'd sacrifice Valhalla if it meant his daughter would be safe(ish).
@@ClaytonTheCracker valhalla is in asgard so there would be no valhalla
First thing you notice about Thor's face is his incredibly sad eyes.
A depressed father dealing with the loss of his sons.
And then the way Odin speaks about Thor and his sons, you then get the perspective of why Thor looks so miserable.
Then why did thor almost kill his son in the last game then huh? Awful writing
@@cupcakemcsparklebutt9051 We get it, you didnt understand the story.
I like how you see his face go all triumphant when Odin says "now, what you did to his boys" like he was thinking Kratos was gonna be chewed out for killing them, then when Odin says "self defence" his face turns sad again.
@@airforcecadet15 What would you expect out of someone with the name "McSparklebutt"?
@@King_Aegon Not much tbh.
10:03 I love how he parried the axe swing just by snapping his finger and making Mjonir fly into the place
Okay im not the only one geeking out over that!!!
Literally that’s so badass, holy shit!
Kratos was aiming for the head
You can clearly see the Kratos from God of war 3 in Thor. Being used to kill, made a killing machine. Having a daughter like Kratos did. That is why Kratos tried talking to him to make him realise what Kratos took time to realise. They're not only killers but fathers.
That's an overstatement. In GOW 3 Kratos was a fucking idiot saying I WANT MY REVENGE. If it were just GoW3 Kratos he would've never been a compelling character.
@@Silkl4sh "🤓"
They were forced to be killers, like Kratos said to Freya he will be no one's monster ever again
@@nikkimiddlekillsday5161 He said that to Athena's ghost.
@@yomamasthemailman3146 no he said that to Freya, it was after they found her brother and were searching for something in the forest I can't remember exactly which level
Thor is so exceptionally well executed in this game.
Well “executed”.😏heh.
A fat drunk idiot who is pretty much someone's toy? i am not sure about that one. He is a mess in this game to be honest but i guess the game is not about him.
Odin certainly executed him
This version of Thor is much better than boring ass marvel one
No Not As Well
portrayed In 2018 wasted character
I love how he snaps his fingers for his hammer.
I thought that detail would’ve been a crutch, or detail pointed out to help beat him later.
I can’t help but feel like that is a reference to Marvel Thanos.
@@t-rexcellentreviews1663 oh Jes... did Marvel invented finger snapping now??!
@@t-rexcellentreviews1663 can't watch one god of war video without reading about that stupid marvel around
@@t-rexcellentreviews1663 lmao what
I love Thor in this game. He's so perfectly in-character, especially during his first fight with Kratos.
Odin says thor started drinking again by himself, which is technically true.
When you look at the intro cutscene Thor comments Kratos should have warned him when he pours the drink. The drinks were for Kratos & Boy. Considering the way he acts with the alcohol its clear he's a recovering alcoholic.
Then there's the meeting itself. Knowing that the Crows are Odin's eyes its pretty safe to say that Odin was controlled the entire situation from how stilted it all was and was probably feeding Thor lines.
He says Thor isn't fun anymore before pushing the cup towards him. He didn't make Thor drink per say, just pushed him so he would pick up the bottle again. Manipulative father to a Tee
I was wondering something else about the scene with the mead the mead was red which is called Blood Mead maybe it’s special because of the blood oath
May i ask what you mean by "Tee"?
@@johantorres8105 "To a Tee" it basically means "exactly to perfection"
Thank you, @@SumThingFawful!
Small note, Thor smelled the mead as opposed to drinking, typical thing for a recovering alcoholic to do when they're on the verge of a relapse.
What a tragedy. Just Thor finally had a calling to be better, Odin instantly merks him.
Odin probably had a gun pointed straight at Thor’s heart at all times, should the dog ever turn on the leash- metaphorically speaking of course. A half-ton hammer and an unstoppable brute wielding it is a powerful tool and a deadly enemy, no doubt Odin was ready to eliminate his ass at the drop of a hat his whole life
@@thecanadiandane7262 It bugged me that people would forget this part and claim that Thor's death was unnecessary shock value. Thor was a _significant_ portion of Asgard's effective battle strength _by himself,_ there was no way Odin would let Thor turn on him without consequences
I like how Thor does not underestimate Kratos. just keep saying that he's holding back. He is cocky, but not the annoying, arrogant kind like Heimdall
Exactly, he wants a proper fight rather than just trying to humiliate him.
Heimdall reminds of Hermes tbh.. thats why I really wanted to beat him up xD
@@danielwood6833 oh, but listen closer now to just what Thor was saying.
"Let me see the monster inside".
"You think you can come here, became a daddy, get a clean slate? That ain't how it works. You're destroyer. Like me".
So what do you think he actually wanted - proper fight... or proof that he, Thor, actually could not change even if he were to leave Asgard? And if he could not change... he could just accept who he is, what he did, because that would be his nature... and nature unchangeable.
Glad gutted him like a certain Fast man.
Yeah heimdall is a lil bitch lol and only picked on artrius and thrud but when fighting kratos he got his ass beat
I felt bad for him. He had to do as Odin asked of course but he really loved his family....and then that last scene with his daughter reaching out to her...broke my heart.
Wrong. If he loved his family, Why did Thor beat modi almost to death in the last game
@@cupcakemcsparklebutt9051 he was drunk. But also Magni was his favorite so yeah
And pierced Thor’s heart
@@cupcakemcsparklebutt9051 I'm not a God so I wouldn't know lol
@@cupcakemcsparklebutt9051 most likely odins orders or that he was drunk
When Thor said “This feels familiar” during the first fight, I thought there was gonna be some time travel plot involved with it… Only after doing all of the Chronicles of War favors in Vanaheim, you understand what he meant
Feya fight
@@ruanmorais5288 Laufaye fight in which she won
@@jmb72390 one of the spirits does say Thor was really drunk and sloppy though while she was only drunk on rage.
@@greatbigfatperson1579 hence why he barely remember it
@@jmb72390
People love to overestimate Faye’s combat prowess due to the fact that she fought Thor to a stalemate. On paper that is impressive, until you consider that Faye was not only sober but completely bloodlusted, whereas Thor was drunk to the point that he couldn’t even remember the fight happening at all, despite it obviously occurring for quite some time given the radius that they covered. He must have been very deep in his cups for that to happen, maybe even worse than when we saw him outside the tavern, given he was still able to remember what he’d been doing afterwards.
Most she could do at her absolute best, against Thor at perhaps his utter worst, was a stalemate. If Faye had him beat, she would have killed him, given how much she despised the Aesir. The implication is that she wasn’t capable of doing so.
It seems Thor is trying to be a good dad.
"Killing giants, and pissing mead". Thor saying this actually shows how much he loves his family. Since drinking mead is likely his favorite activity. But he made a promise to Thrud that he would stop drinking. While he did failed to keep his promise. He was guilty when Thrud caught him. Which shows he really cared about emotions of his daughter
For Thrud. He couldn't be one for Magni or Modi.
@@kjk607 He tried. Remember Sif's quote "We used to carve wooden horses for them, play and tell stories till they fall asleep." For Modi and Magni. It was Odin who caused their arrogance and deaths by sending them to very dangerous missions with unstable Baldur as their last companion.
Thor likely beat Modi when he was drunk, and seeing him as responsible as Magni's death instead blaming Odin. (He did the same mistake with Atreus when he blamed him for death of his sons while Sif was trying to explain him Odin's problems)
@@b-17gflyingfortress6 Mimir explains in one of his stories that Sif and Thor were both alcoholics that raised Magni and Modi in a very toxic environment similar to how Odin raised Thor. I'm sure they had their moments where they did good, but overall they failed Magni and Modi just as badly as Odin failed Thor and Heimdall. Modi is even hinted at possibly having some pe80philic tendencies (hinted in GoW 2018).
Father's tend to be harder on their sons.
Daughters are like their princesses, keep em safe and squaring up to future boyfriends to see who's a right fit to take up the mantle.
A tiny bit of Thors story is that when Odin kills him, he does it quickly after Thor tosses away the hammer with very little hesitation . It really reinforces the idea that Odin has always thought of Thor as nothing but a weapon to throw away when it’s no longer useful.
Thor: "DONT YOU KNOW WHAT I'VE DONE?!"
Kratos: "Yea and you know what I did. Your point?"
Thor:I've killed almost every giant have you acomplished something greater?
Kratos:Ask that to the Olympians gods
Thor:But they ar-
Kratos:Exactly
@@predatorgaming7750 cringe
I don’t know Thor killed an entire race just because, kratos killed people who either wronged him or got in his way with a sprinkle of innocents but in the big picture I think thors past is worse, kratos didn’t actively hunt down the human people who lived alongside the Greek pantheon it was just a by product of his actions they probably all died
@@itsvox4398 buddy look at your profile that's cringier then your whole fu****g family
@@dwecktek did you not remember he raided and killed villages because of his commands from ares? He killed his first wife and child Thor didn’t
Man, from the moment i heard the way Thor talks I could tell he was just in a lot of pain.
48:42 I know this is a serious moment but the way Odin was so perplexed from Thor not only failing to kill Kratos but defying him is underrated haha
The voice actors and motion capturing is truly incredible
He goes from angry sober, to drunk, to angry drunk, just to straight angry.
It’s an oversimplification, but true
Imagine if he was red wine drunk
36:56 That Poof synched so perfectly
When Thor says "this feels familiar" when we hit both weapons and the lighting tree is created at 12:30..and Kratos asks "what?" - Thor is actually remembering a fight between him and Faye in Vanaheim which we find out exploring..nice detail to references!
Thor is literally my favorite character of God of war
Same
That be cool if they give him his own story with dlc content
45:20 they really put a Will Smith reference in the final fight lmfao
The reference: funny
The delivery: one of the best showcases of voice acting I've seen in quite some time. Ryan delivered that line with pure unadulterated rage
@@S0M3GUY778 get his dick out your damn mouth
I thought the same thing when I played through.
I think Thor could've been a good man if Odin hadn't abused and corrupted him. Thor was a belligerent prick and a blunt instrument, but he put his heart into his family and struggled with alcoholism and depression when he failed to protect them.
He was almost as bad as Odin was when it came to abuse, but he could've changed. And probably wouldn't have needed to if Odin wasn't such a bad influence.
48:41 this question really drives home what Odin thinks of Thor. Thor is a blunt instrument to Odin, a bludgeon to destroy his enemies, a tool of death he can hold over everyone and anyone. When he asks: "Are you broken?" While it can be interpreted in a couple of ways, what he means is, is my tool broken? Is my knife chipped, is my chisel snapped? That's what he's asking. He almost doesn't even see Thor as a person anymore.
And the truth is, Thor is broken. Broken by his father, who never wanted him to think for himself, who only wanted Thor to kill and destroy when he commanded it, to deaden his heart to the suffering of others and obey without question. He never shows any affection or appreciation for everything Thor has sacrificed, the horrors Thor has witnessed in fulfilling the All Fathers commands. There is no love in Odin for Thor. And there's a reason for it. Because Odin fears Thor. He knows precisely how dangerous Thor is, he MADE Thor. And so, the moment he sees even the faintest possibility of his greatest weapon, turning in his hand against him. He kills him. And the only regret he feels, is the regret of loosing his favored tool. He doesn't care that he just killed his own son. In that moment, we truly see what a monster Odin is.
This comment is criminally underrated
Abso-fucking-lutely
Thor wasn't even a human being for Odin, just another means to an end in his way to achieve the only true valuable thing in his eyes in life- knowledge.
And Thor suffers for it since he's torn between being a good family man to sif and thrud, and being a good son to Odin (which he didn't realize was never an option until the end sadly).
I actually never thought of the idea that Odin was afraid of Thor, but it can explain a lot😄 I always assumed that Odin was simply very decisive. And whatever he doesn't like, he gets rid of it. And indeed he only felt bad because Thor was a powerful tool and it saddened him to lose it
Crazy how even when kratos holds back, he still kicks ass hard!
I think that's kind of the point. I suspect that if he truly let go, he could destroy all of them. Maybe not easily, but nobody can stand in his way if he lets the monster loose. The hardest battle he fights is not against any god or monster, it is against the monster that lives within himself. If that was let out, I even suspect that he could beat anyone "easily" but the cost would be far too high. That same unstoppable force that destroyed the entire greek pantheon, also killed his own wife and child. Losing control of himself would not just destroy another world, but it could also destroy his final chance to prove everyone (including himself) wrong - that he is not a monster that can never change. "We must be better" is a hopeful yet desperate mantra. It's very different from "We can choose to be better" which is a statement that comes from certainty - the word "must" underlines an uncertainty. A desperate hope that despite what everyone has told him, despite what he may actually believe himself - HAS to be a possibility for him. This is why he is so reluctant to kill any god he meets now. When he yells at Atreus that there are consequences to killing a god (or anyone) is not a fear of retribution, or a fear that the world might suffer - but the fear that in doing so, you are taking away their chance to change and become better. If someone doesn't deserve a chance becuase of their past, then Kratos absolutely deserves to die. This game is very special. It asks some deep and important questions and it deals with some very profound issues in a fantastic way! These two titles honestly deserve to be hailed and treated as landmarks in gaming history. Not just for the acting performances, the incredible visuals, and the amazing score, but for elevating story telling and subject matter in this media. This could very well mark the beginning of something new. I can easily see a future where video games can compete with every other vehicle for story telling. Stories like this one, told like this - deserves as much praise as any movie or Tv-show I have ever seen. And it deserves to be seen and talked about by the general public and not just gamers. Sorry for the long ass essay! 😅 But this game merits long conversations! And it deserves to be taken seriously as a piece of art!
Waltuh?
He's not fighting for revenge or himself anymore, he's fighting for his family
I love the display of manipulation by Odin where he slams down the mead in front of Thor to drink it, and when he doesn't he attacks Thor's character. But when Sif questions his motives after barely caring that Hiemdall is dead, he says Thor become a drunk again all on his own. In some ways I wish we got an Odin more akin to Anthony Hopkins portrayal but I do like the version that is just so slimy and manipulative.
That RAAAAA!!! when he turns blue and thunder godlike is so good
God dammit why did he have to die in this game. He would've had such a good redemption arc.
I kinda see the point why he did. He’s literally what Kratos would have been if he didn’t not meet his wife or have his som
It’d be 4v1 against Odin if he didn’t die tbh 💀
Odin wanted to know where the gods go after dying. I really want to know what lies behind the crack too. Maybe Thor's souls lies somewhere
@@ultimateloser3411I think thors inside mjolnir
He kinda had, but I understand your point.
At least we get to fight with him in the Niflheim arena
For Odin to say Thor's sons were useless, IN THE PRESENCE OF THOR, and right after that go on to say his own son was useful and one of his best, started the game off showing how little Odin actually cared for anyone that wasn't personally useful to him.
And thor's irritation at his father's comment about his sons, set the tone for the rest of the game. Odin is an asshole in charge and Thor tries to tolerate it because that's his father
Thor in this game actually reminded me about Tyrion Lannister, the same disapproving parent (i.e Tywin Lannister), the same drinking addiction both continue struggling with, and both being disposable tools by their parents. Only difference being Tyrion kills Tywin for sentencing him to death, and Odin killing Thor right away.
Good observation
The most fucked up part about this is that Odin specifically told Atreus to stop searching for tyr because he knew exactly that that was what both of them were going to do, allowing them to find his decoy tyr and basically allow him to spy on kratos and Atreus entire operation against Odin which he did for most of the game. That’s what I love about this game. The most subtle details hint at something big further on in the story
I love how the difference in strength now shows in the final battle between Kratos and Thor. From 46:35 when they collide their weapons, at the first hit, there was no shockwave, but on the second up until the last one, you can see in slow motion that Thor was getting knocked back, until he losses grip of Mjolnir, while Kratos was chilling and stayed relative to his position.
For me, it would imply, without Holding back, Kratos was indeed much stronger and Thor was in the fight of his life considering how he was done with Kratos and is allowed to kill him. If Kratos hadn't changed, Thor would have been slaughtered, instead Kratos showed mercy and wanted to reason with Thor to change as he didn't want to kill the father of whom his son calls her friend.
I mean, Thor did also just come from fighting Jormungandr and is probably already very tired because of it. I'm not saying he'd win, but I don't think he'd be slaughtered either like it's nothing.
Thor hit Jormungandr so hard that he was sent back in time. I would say that greatly exhausted his strength, plus Jormungandr is certainly no pushover. Kratos is one of the biggest badasses ever, but not even he has demonstrated raw power on that scale.
Kratos doesn’t even rest on most days. As he doesn’t even nap. He is mostly constantly on the move.
Either Kratos is just still holding back or inconsistencies. Sometimes, I don’t understand how he can move bridges on water with water resistance or flip temples. But, he can’t punch like Thor. Like with that power. I would assume so. Thor needed help from Magni when lifting a dead giant on him while Kratos can resist a a full blown slap from Cronos
@@pleaseforgiveme1749 you know you can rest and recuperate while still being awake right? The point is Thor went directly from a tough fight to another one without a chance to recover. Hence, he was probably exhausted. Also let’s be real, the not sleeping thing was a lore choice designed around explaining a game mechanic because people would be annoyed if they had to sleep every 15 minutes
4:35 The things you notice after you know the story. Like how Thor painfully glances away when Odin calls his sons useless.
And how he doesn’t drink the mead out of respect of his daughters wishes.
I lost my marbles at the unwinnable QTE!
Thor literally won't let Kratos die until he feels satisfied with his punishment.
Something I didn’t fully get on my first playthrough, when Heimdall says, “…and how do you intend to stop me?” Thor responds, “Look into my eyes. You tell me.” He then stares into Heimdall’s eyes, glances down at the arrow Heimdall is holding, then looks back into his eyes. Heimdall recoils, drops the arrow and says, “You are a sick man!” I didn’t get it because it’s not until later they reveal that Heimdall’s power is that he can read your intentions by looking into your eyes. Thor must’ve thought of doing something REALLY messed up with that arrow! 🤣
Probably inserting said arrow into somewhere he shouldn't
@@dovahkiin7253 I’m sure it wasn’t SOUNDING very good to Heimdall.
@@Riptide27 oh my god please no
This Thor is better than the embarrassment from MCU.
U would think the mcu thor would be a grieving killing machine just as much or converting his energy as this Thor after losing everything but the avengers
I'm starting to think MCU Thor was a setup for a chick flick like Love and Thunder from the very beginning.... And it's no secret that Natalie Portman is an embarrassment to the Thor franchise
I wish, Endgame fatThor could be badass like this fat thor against Thanos in endgame, he was punchbag to Thanos, even Captain America with Mjolnir put better fight
Thor peaked in Infinity War but went downhill after that lol
The “Let it be known, the God of Thunder is good for two things. Killing giants… and PISSING MEAD!” Line fucking kills me. 😂 That delivery was perfect.
thor is literally us personified in game.
"i want to see the god of war!"
That pissing mead line is gold 🤣
I was expecting thor to be just overly evil and blood thirsty based on what I heard in 2018, but I was presently surprised about how tragic and deep thor's story truly is
In an alternate universe, Thor redeemed himself by fighting along Kratos and defeating Odin. They both then sit together in Kratos' cabin drinking mead with laughter filling the cabin.
Edit: Thor then died swallowed by Jormungandr while pissing in The Lake of Nine
I like the part where thrud saw odin stabbed thor he immediately pulls his spears and tries blame kratos and atreus
From the game perspective. Thor is a calm and reasonable person. If he isn't he would have killed kratos already.
No
@@asura2877 you didn't understand the full story of the game abot thor
the only reason thor didn’t already try to kill kratos was because odin didn’t allow him to
Thor was fully capable of killing Kratos and that's enough.
Thor did kill Kratos, technically.
From what I’ve read from other comments about Thor’s threat towards Heimdall; Thor was going to take Heimdall out for good and then proceed to “pillage” Heimdall’s corpse
He was gonna shove the arrow he was holding somewhere the sun don't shine
I love how the Norse Gods are basically like a crime family.
Anyone else find it interesting that Thor can’t heal himself, that cut on his stomach remained there the whole game after his first fight with Kratos.
Its cause of snake poison from previous game
Maybe he didn’t want to heal himself
In the actual Norse mythology the world serpent poisons Thor after he kills it, dying after taking 9 paces. In God of War 2018 Kratos wakes up the world serpent, spitting back the ice axe and imbuing it with the poison.
I cant help but feel Thor wanted to get in touch with his Giant side. It's impossible for Thor not to feel some longing to know his MOTHER'S SIDE of the family.
I mean its clear he regrets killing the giants. Its like its betraying his own family in a way since his mother is a giant
Odin had to ruin everything
When thor was against odin
Odin SNEAK ATTACK (Thor dies)
😭😭😭😭😭😭
Yow when thor died he disappeared right I think odin was the one who made him disappear the reason is had he left thors corpse then freya would probably reanimate him, seeing how mimit aided kratos and atreus to the previous game then odin probably made the decision to destroy thors body so that they would not have another powerful ally against him
They made Thor a shockingly deep character, a tragic character. You can see just how ashamed he is of himself, and how stressed and depressed he is throughout the game. You can tell he wants to rebel against Odin, but doesn’t due to Odin’s manipulation.
And that moment you realize Sif isn’t talking about Atreus, but she’s talking about Odin
The bar fight was probably my favorite sequence in the game. I was laughing the whole way through.
It was good fight....🤣🤣🤣
The way Thor absolutely puts Heimdall in his place is pretty amazing though. Just the mix of fear and disgust in Heimdall's voice is perfect.
The moment Kratos spared Thor is the moment he changed his own fate
No. He changed fate the moment he decided to fight for justice and not vengeance. If he actually stopped holding back and didn't change his fate. Thor would have killed him in the final battle.
@@DarkoRavens Not really. Kratos never really stuck me as a “justice” type. Its not in line with his goals or motivations at all, Idk where you got that. Like, these two whole games hes fighting for his son. Thor putting his hammer down and denying his “nature” because of Kratos is exactly the kind of thing the Fates said wouldn’t happen, which is partly where I’m drawing that conclusion from.
@Plumtree1187 Unless you can skip cutscenes, I'm not sure how you could have missed when Kratos told Atreus to open his heart to the suffering of the Midgardian humans outside the wall of Asgard. Kratos went in intending revenge on Odin for Brok's death, yet completely dropped vengeance out of love and concern for Atreus in a moment, choosing instead to set the example by protecting the innocent refugees from the siege. I'm guessing you never played the game if you were not completely ignorant of what the character development tried to explain to you.
Kratos explicitly said to Freya that he would die seeking justice and not vengeance, when just hours before, he was contemplating revenge just for Brok's sake. Kratos told Atreus that they were all alive because of Atreus. Who he trusted and who he called his friends.
The only reason he actively got through to Thor at all was Atreus and his capacity for innocence, purity, and seeing good in everyone.
Kratos changed his own fate by refusing to let himself be defined as a monster. So, for the first time in his life, he committed to doing good, selfless acts. He appealed to Thor's nature as a father trying to do good by his last remaining child, which is the only reason the fight ended. Thor was willing to keep going until Kratos was dead.
If Kratos never changed his path and acted on vengeance and rage instead, Thor would have obliterated him. It was literally fated that Kratos dies to Thor. And I'm guessing you saw how Thor sent Jormungandr right out of Ragnarök. He could have done that and far worse to Kratos if the fight went on. Kratos needed to show Thor that he had no intention of killing his daughter or any other innocents in the conflict.
@@DarkoRavens nah nah you're missing my point so i aint readin all that but u care more so yeah sure thats cool too man
@@Plumtree1187 You're an arrogant twerp.
That short enough for you? 😒
My take on Thor is he’s playing dumb to block out all the things he has had to do for Odin. He’s got PTSD
I love how you can hear crashing from the inside of the bar as Thor summons his hammer.
AYOOO i never saw that freyr's sword defended atreus right before he got hit 🤯🤯🤯
The loading screen to getting our heart restarted by Mjolnir is *godlike* misdirection. 12/10, I genuinely thought I didn't mash circle enough... and then my jaw dropped.
The frozen lightening familiarity is from his fight with Faye
It’s probably familiar because in Nors mythology after Ragnorok everything resets and The Gods are doomed to live it all over again. So he remembers fighting Kratos before.
@@darthcaliginous2066 that, but in the game there’s a side quest where they find out she did fight him and did the same thing
5:43 I love how Kratos grabs the axe as soon as Odin mentions Atreus
I always like when Thor kills you made you thought it’s game over then Thor said “Oh no I say when we’re done!” and brings you back to life
Realizing that this is all CGI, every small movement was placed on purpose. For example;
Odin: "And let's be honest, they were kind of useless."
As he looks at Thor. He isn't telling Kratos that Magni and Modi were useless. He was telling Thor that they were useless. Then, Odin moves the mug of mead at Thor's spot, signifying as if to say, really;
"Your boys were useless to me, you drunken fuck."
Odin was actually trying to get Thor to drink but Thor was trying to stop for the sake of his family and mind. He was trying to be a better father but odin was corrupting him. That's also why he stated sif was right about odin he just wasn't trying to see it.
Not a gamer but I've spent the last few days pouring over all these cut scenes from GoW 4 and Ragnarok. They're so well done; the characters have depth, like Thor. So good.
Btw at 20:11 I laughed too hard at Thor's little girly run there for a second 😂
I love how Thor in the initial fight has this mentality like "this is the God who murdered a pantheon cause they hurt his feelings?" He is aware who Kratos is but is not impressed really. He has love for the fight.
That part where you are purposely knocked out at first i was like "sht gotta do it all over again" then suddenly thor speaks
They absolutely nailed Odin's character in this game. He lives up to every one of Mimir's stories from the last game. Thor is great too, but Odin is simply perfect.
I still can’t fathom what it was the king of the pricks Heimdall saw in Thor’s mind for what he’d do to him that would make him of all people go “You are a sick man!”
Poor Thor
Odin he hurt and treated Thor like crap
But thrud and Sif they always been there for him and Thor he love them so much and he didn’t meant to hurt magni and modi
And how dare you Odin how could you say that to Thor your own son
I love the fact that Thor and Kratos command the room while Odin monologues lol
After what we got in Love and Thunder I can honestly say this is by far my favorite version of Thor!
45:19 was that a Will Smith reference?
Rewatching the first interaction between Thor and Kratos, now knowing Thor was trying to stop drinking, I think Thor was meant to only give the mead to Kratos and Atreus and wasn't gonna drink
It’s telling when after Atreus’ mission with Thor how he tries to make a bridge for Odin to Thor with “I learned a lot from him” and Odin goes straight into mocking him. Poor Thor knows he’ll never get any thing from Odin and goes along
“Don’t you know… What I’ve done?!”
“Yes!”
My favorite line from the game… Kratos does know, because he’s done it himself
I like how Odin in some parts was almost a form of comedic relief, despite being the main antagonist of the past two games.
when I played God of War 2018 I used to hate Thor for killing the Giants like Starkadr, Thamur and his son. Yet I pity him because he's doing it for his Family. I was wrong after Ragnarok came out
Thor seems like a calm and reasonable person.
This story for the game was actually extremely well written. Both this, and the First God of War continuation finally put story above knuckle dragging action. Thor's Baldur's, and Odin's stories where amazing and pretty tragic when you understand Odin basically trained his sons to be attack dogs; You see in in Thor by how Odin has jus cemented the idea, and the mantra No thinking into him.
You know, I was kinda iffy on this whole angle with Thor at first. But after a while, it kinda grew on me because of the themes behind them.
Thor and Baldur were essentially an insight into Ares and even what Kratos would be like if he was raised within Olympus under Zeus. Zeus, like Odin, used all of his family and children like tools and weapons until they became as twisted like him (i.e. Athena, Hades and Hera) or broke (i.e. Ares, Hercules & Kratos). Thor is haunted by what he's done but simply gave up on himself and submitted to Odin's cruel whims, whereas Kratos revolted against Zeus and Olympus and became consumed by rage. Under everything that was done to them by their fellow Gods and their culture, Kratos and Thor ironically were not so different: flawed men who dearly loved their family and had a sense of honor before the Gods made weapons and toys out of them.
In this era of ideological and media bullshit pandering, it's great to see there are writers still capable of really brainstorming about characters and themes and make them work in-&-out-of-story.
I love thor in this game but I think the final fight should have world breaking with time travel and world tree splintering but the one we got is still cool
I didn't realize ingvi saved him😮 41:10
does anyone else find the snap right before calling Mjolnir incredibly satisfying?
Yup it like your calling your trusted friend to fight side by side you at all times and also to have your back at the snap of your finger. 🫰
I love how Kratos just says "no"
Such a tragic end
45:20 Will Smith would be proud
Thor looks and feels like smarter version of Hodor. I mean he is strong, but emotional. He is good, but sometimes forced to do bad things. And at the end of the day, we all know how it ends. His mind is broken.
Apart from story aspect of the game I fucking love that Kratos is helpless against mjolnir. There is nothing he can do about this weapon unlike anything else.
Outstanding game. I just wish they didn't kill off thor. Him, Kratos, and Atreus would have made a amazing trio.
God of War Thor over Love and Thunder Thor any day. The difference is night and day.
I love how Odin told that Baldur "had value". He didn't spoke about Baldur as of his son that he lost but more of the fact that Baldur being alive was an important thing for Odin since in north mythology Baldur's death was meant to bring Ragnarok.
Ifs funny because Atreus and Thor have a lot in common. Half giants, red hair, father is a powerful figure/God that seems to diasgree/disapprove of them. Deceased mothers. Runs off chaos and havoc rather than discipline.
If you ask me, the ladt gow was masterful because we saw kratos be better and grow as father, here is the same but with thor, how he struggles with his past, how he struggles with his present, how beat down he is psychologically by odin, how he cares about his family and all of these can be seen when he talks with his family. I really would have loved for thor to survive, that point where he understands kratos and faces odin is so fcking epic.
I love heavy thor is when he falls
Atreus is thor if he had a good dad
21:30 *Loki, we need to cook*
Ngl, they way they've portrayed him was beautiful. Although, from my perspective, his end was kinda rushed.
Don't get me wrong, it's a beautiful game through and through, but the ending could have been a little bit longer
Still, his voice, his character, his appearance and his motives were done beautifully.
Agreed
"Our kids get along, so must we" Weirdly, this is how quite a of parents function. Even if two adults hate each other, they stay civil so their kids can be friends XD
Kratos had his dad energy on point
i loved this thor so much too bad he died.
At this point they need to make a dlc with thor and his backstory of killing giants and his personal life .
