No, this is not true for the soul fact that EVEYRYONE in Asgard wants Odin's approval or attention. Heimdall, Thor and Baldur all want Daddy's attention and Heimdall has bo ability to be deceiving. He is what you get he has foresight...he sees the worst in people and it was no trick from Heimdall but Odin knew his Aesir would be quite rough. Odin takes advantage of this and we see how the boys all submit to their father and long for his love. Baldur couldn't psychically love/feel anything, so he went crazed for that feeling. Thor is clearly the same, wants his father's approval after all the Giants he made Thor slay. But Thor becomes depressed about being a monster. But he's odins tool not son. Heimdal wants all fathers attention like a lost puppy and will remain loyal to the end ..Odin forced loyalty on them and if they show the most loyalty and blind following the all father favoured them. Look at Magni and Modi Magni was overconfident most likely didn't obey Odin at every whim so he sent them put to die against this Giant or foreign God.

I’m surprised that he became my favorite character introduced in Ragnarok and my favorite Norse God. I love just how Baldur’s “blessed with invulnerability to all threats physical or magical” came at a price of not being able to feel literally anything Heimdalls foresight comes at a cost of seeing only the worst of people which makes him jaded and unable to trust anyone leading to being hated by everyone. He’s massively underrated as a legitimate threat because he doesn’t have titanic strength like Thor or Hercules but he doesn’t need it as his other abilities/skills more than make up for it. Aside from his power of foresight (which is the greatest form we’ve seen in the series), he’s the only enemy to have the ability to realm shift by altering time, his mastery of the Bifrost is rivaled only by Odin as both can create a Bifrost armor/covering and can use it offensively, his speed while not as fast as Hermes in my opinion is still superior to every other god, and his hand to hand skills as well as swordsmanship make excellent use of his foresight using swift strikes such as a sword tilt to the stomach to put his enemy on his knees before they can react. The only complaint I have is I would have preferred that he liked animals because he can see they have no ulterior motives and it would also serve as a way for him to be more as a rival to Atreus/Loki both of them being fond of animals for different reasons.

Lots of people in Asgard have bad parents and jobs they don't really like, though. Thrud wants to be a Valkyrie but her parents don't want her to. And Thrud is a well-liked and kind person. Asgard dislikes Heimdall because he's mean, not because he has a bad job or he's some misunderstood prodigy. If you know for a fact that everyone you meet is lying to you and to themselves, then you can just as easily learn not to hold it against them, because you also know they can't help themselves. Not to mention that you also have the power to see the good in people, to see when someone genuinely has no malice towards you. Being mean is always a choice.

Heimdall's character is so unique. When Odin said "Sometimes he just doesn't think, y'know" got me "think"ing. Heimdall either can sees through people's mind or can sense threats. He knows their intentions but doesn't "think" to understand why. Sure, it's depressing and torturous to see how horrible people are, but you just gotta understand why, before comes into conclusion about who they really are. Heimdall's power is really good, but he just won't stop thinking that they are bad just because they have bad intentions, resulting him being such an asshole to anyone even though they've never done anything to him YET. That's why Heimdall's character is so unique, but boy he could've gone through a better route if he changed the way he "thinks".

This is actually a very good point. Heimdall: he means to betray you allfather. Odin: Of course he means to betray me. Do you know who tf i am to them? I've given them no reason to trust me. So before you go around killing my guests, exercise some THOUGHT and his bad intentions won't seem bad. it'll just seem like common sense. There's a difference between intentions and actions. What a person wants to do, wishes they could do, can do and will do are all mutually exclusive. Heimdall doesn't "think" he thinks at face value which makes him seem stupid and an asshole to everyone else cause if i have intentions of cheating, but never do and resist that urge, its not a bad intention, its just a natural urge and i'm actually good for resisting that. Heimdall thinks you're an asshole for daring to be attracted to someone else and treats you like it.

I really liked the small touch in the end where Heimdall asks what happens in the "empty head" of Kratos. To me it's not only an insult of his barbaric ways, but rather disbelief. Through the last two games Kratos teached Atreus to harness his panic and use it in the fight, to clear his mind and close his heart. Additionally, when he hunted he teached him to see the enemy or prey only as a target, limiting his emotions to a bare minimum. My theory would be that Kratos won not only by overloading Heimdall's senses with the Draupnir spear but also by limiting his ability to forsee his next move by blocking Heimdall from reading his mind during the fight. Simply because when the time calls for it, he is able to fight with an "empty" calm mind . He even aknowledge it when he sits with Thor in the begining of the game answering his question about being calm and reasonable.

I feel like the developers had a different idea for how Heimdall was supposed to look between games given the early picture we see of him. The clean shaven appearance fits him better anyways, as a nice foil to Thor whose messy look shows how little he thinks of himself, Heimdall's lack of beard and short finely cut hair emphasizes how highly he thinks of himself with how much he has to put into his appearance. While he doesn't look like much, when the initial fight starts, you notice "he doesn't have a life bar." This is a nice break from how forgettable most of the gods in the older games were, Heimdall is a supporting villain, but he's still nicely built up someone you can love to hate and enemy who has weight in the story since it takes a new weapon forged specifically to kill him to stand a chance, and even then it still takes some quick thinking on Kratos' part to use it right.

I loves heimdall. Sure he’s snarky and douchy but he’s similar like Baldur in a sense , where they are both broken by cursed powers. Just like not being able to feel anything drove Baldur to madness , Heimdalls power to read minds must’ve been so awful to have. You can only see the worst in people and what they truly think down inside , and i think that would always create someone who’s distrustful and pissy. Cant help but feel bad for the guy who can read everyone’s dark thoughts and lies for centuries , really well written character and i wish he didn’t die so soon , i feel like he could’ve had some form of redemption or an upbringing like Baldur.

Except for the fact that I think he also enjoyed being like that, "untouchable". In fact, I think he and Baldur are complete opposites. With one not even wanting to live for not being able to feel anything, and the other bragging about not ever feeling pain or being in danger. When Baldur started feeling again he was even grateful for Kratos and when Heimdall was punched he was devastated that he was vulnerable and started going full on offensive mode since he was scared for his life not even using his foresight ability. So yeah in a way they are in the same league, but total opposites.

I think the worst part about the gods in this universe is the irony of their situations Baldur is immortal and invulnerable but doesn’t feel alive because of the lack of danger. Thor is a incredibly strong warrior who Laments his role in the pantheon who would probably be a lot happier living in peace with his family. Heimdall can see and hear everything even seeing peoples intentions and future actions and this had made him bored and cynical which ironically makes him the most predictable person in the pantheon.

I love each and every Villain/Antagonist in the game. Freya was a good obstacle to test Kratos’s struggle for his past coming back to haunt him. Heimdall reminds me of Baldur where they’re both blessed with abilities that made them unfamiliar with pain, it’s also how his personality stands out as an eccentric Aesir. As well as how he was the start of a possible Kratos giving into his anger. Thor as the one that is willing to change but has been manipulated by Odin to the point where fighting his influence was futile and eventually lead to his death. As well as showing an unhealthy way to cope with grief, being a reminder of Kratos himself. Odin being the mastermind in all of this where he never was really shaken and now we know why at the end. His charisma and how they chose to never show him doing anything as sadistic as people have told the audience, to then suddenly break it by having Odin stab a beloved character. Just everyone in this game is just so well written.

15:54 There are about 1,329,832 Draupnir copies in the cave (+1 original)! Draupnir has been in that cave for about 4104 of our years. See below for math. Draupnir creates 8 copies of itself on every 9th day. Roughly 324 new rings appear during each of our years. This ring looks like it's about 1cm thick, and the average ring diameter for men is about 1.6cm. Accounting for material thickness, let's say each ring is (roughly) a cylinder with a radius of 1cm and a height of 1cm. This gives us a volume of 3.14 cubic centimeters. Densely packed circles (hexagonal arrangement) fill 91% of the space they occupy. Let's be charitable and say that the rings are packed fairly densely - maybe 80%, accounting for the fact that rings can intersect each other slightly and that a bunch of disc-shaped objects will most likely settle parallel to the floor. For the Z dimension, let's assume that the rings are stacked in 1.2cm-thick layers (it won't be perfect, obviously - I chose this arbitrarily). A cubic meter would contain about 21,165 rings. (~83 layers, each layer has a total area of 1000cm^2, 80% packing density = 800cm^2, 800 divided by cross-sectional area of ring (3.14cm^2) = ~255, 255 * 83 = 21,165.) The chamber appears to be fairly large, maybe 10 meters in diameter based on Sindri's size. We don't know how deep the rings are piled, but let's say that it's 2 meters. That's a total volume of ~62.8 cubic meters occupied by rings, which means that there are about 1329839 rings in the cave. However, Draupnir produces copies in increments of 8, so 1329839 % 8 = 7, which means that there are a total of 1329832 copies and 1 original in the cave. 1329832/324 new rings per year = 4104 years. Not gonna do the leap year calculation.

You're living up to your name (retarded) Heimdall isn't a hero and kratos and atreus aren't villains from any perspective. Odin is paranoid with control issues and tried to wipe out everyone that was a threat and used the gods under his command to make that so. They didn't attack until they were attacked, same with the jotnar and most other threats to Odin. Your interpretation is moronic because the game clearly shows how villainous nearly every God in this pantheon is, and unlike the original trilogy where that was the case but kratos was clearly overdoing the violence, in this game they are both going out of their way to not harm anyone except for Heimdall, who is so irredeemably racist, violent, and arrogant that kratos can't spare him even after offering him multiple chances.

Heimdall can dodge and weave but he doesn't have the arsenal or skillset Kratos had to beat Thor.

11:17 - This is Heimdalls greatest flaw and ironically enough what led to his death AND the destruction of Asgard. Let me explain:::: What is Heimdalls purpose? - To protect Asgard. His ability to read minds and see your intentions makes him the perfect guardian. Now, what did Heimdall say about Atreus when they first met? - 3:30, 4:00 - 4:38, 6:51 He saw that Atreus had hostile intentions, and as the protector of Asgard, what did he do? What would be his natural response? He planned to kill Atreus. To remove the threat to the realm he loved. Because Heimdall planned to kill Atreus, Kratos planned to kill Heimdall to save his son. This ended not only with Heimdall dead but also allowed Kratos to obtain Gjallarhorn, which started Ragnarok, which then destroyed Asgard. So you can see how Odin's words were not only true, but they were essentially a doom prophesie like Ragnarok itself. Heimdalls flaw is that he forgets to think. Because of his arrogance and overconfidence, he doesn't feel the need to think 1, 2, 5, or 10 steps ahead. He doesn't even think about the consequences of his own actions. Weirdly enough, Heimdall is very perceptive & very stupid at the same time. His perceptive nature, his gift of reading minds, has ironically made him even more shortsighted. And it was because of this flaw that the "protector of Asgard" also became the "killer of Asgard". Like the Nords said, we all have our tendencies. Kratoss tendency to protect his loved ones no matter what & Heimdalls tendency to protect the realm he loves no matter what made it inevitable for them to meet at some point. Especially since they were at war. Even if Atreus didn't go to Asgard, Kratos, and Heimdall would have crossed paths eventually. Kratos and Atreus were a threat to Asgard, which made them a target for Heimdall, And Heimdall going after Atreus would make Kratos kill him to protect his family. Just following their natural tendencies... Great game, with incredibly well-written characters, and an AMAZING story!

Just imagine how bad Heimdall would have treated Modi.

Wait a minute... That moment when Heimdall says Atreus means to betray Odin and Odin turns to confront Atreus on this, Heimdall moves to the side. He has a grin that says "Oh you're going to get it NOW," but then Odin says he's joking and turns back around to where Heimdall was, expecting him to be there. If Heimdall can read minds, shouldn't he have known that Odin was just messing with the boy and thus not be smiling? Or have stayed put rather than moved? It seemed like he didn't know what Odin was going to do, which may be evidence that he can't read Odin's mind at all.

He has to look at the person to read their minds. He was looking at Atreus and he could sense Atreus’ fear.

@@illuminate8321 I always figured he had to look at a person in order to read their intent, not their minds. Otherwise, he'd be vulnerable to surprise attacks from behind and that's a major flaw to his ability, and it surely would have been brought up by someone in the game. In order for him to be considered untouchable, he has to be able to read the minds of people he can't see.
