I love how the very first scene of Thor and Odin shows you which one is the true bad guy. Thor asks for permission to come in, brings a gift, accepts the offered seat and puts his weapon on the table as a sign of peace. He shows utmost respect for the host in his home, even if his intentions are ultimately to fight him. Meanwhile, Odin barges in unannounced, uninvited, takes what he pleases and struts around like he owns the place.

The fact that Odin feels nothing for the loss of his grandsons and is only upset about the death of his son because he happened to be a useful asset tells you about his callousness. The way he looks and carries himself shows he's a talker, not a doer. And he's so slick with his appeals to supposedly shared interests that you know he's a master manipulator. Such wonderful character building in just one scene.

Like he was hoping Odin was going to say something about how Kratos needed to pay his debt to his sons. But then Thor immediately showed resentment when Odin says that it was self defense for what Kratos did. It's very small to notice but it's a very realistic detail for GOWR

[@TheRenevis]

I stumbled upon a quote from the book The White Raven from Robert Low: “I had forgotten that, while Thor hurls his Hammer from storm-clouds, Odin prefers his strike to come out of a calm sky.” The way Thor announced his coming with earthshaking thunder and lightning while Odin simply knocked on the door... it just perfectly mirrored that quote.

Now that he's sobered up, he's probably not obeying Odin unquestioningly anymore. - Odin cares more about the value Baldur had than the fact that he was his son, quickly showing the player how selfish he really is. - Huginn and Munnin, Odin's ravens, become his tattoos when he calls them back. - The camera almost seems to "huddle" behind Kratos when Thor is talking like whoever is holding it is pissing their pants in terror - The very SECOND Odin even acknowledges Atreus, Kratos reaches for the axe.

[@NotAGoodUsername360]

I love how the reason Kratos rejected Odin's ultimatum is twofold, as explained in the journal: One, most obviously, because Mimir told him not to, and Mimir is one of a very slim number of people who Kratos trusts. Two, and most interestingly, Odin's promise to kill Freya in return for standing down: Kratos still considers her a friend and does not hold her attempts to kill him against her in the slightest, because he knows he would do the same in her position. He REFUSES to side with her ex against her; even as mortal enemies.

[@jackinthebox1993]

Also, because well... Odin is pretty much the Norse Zeus, and there was just no way in hell Kratos was ever going to make another deal with a god like that after everything he's been through with them

Probably because Thor was a more interesting character (at least to me) than Odin. Odin was a manipulator but you could always tell that he was in control and that he felt that he was so much better than everyone whereas with Thor, he looks intimidating but when you get to know him during Atreus’ time in Asgard, you see just how BROKEN he is and how he has resigned himself to just being a monster. Thor and Kratos needed more scenes together because they really do have a lot in common.

I like how Thor and Kratos are obviously following some kind of unspoken warrior’s code. Thor asks to enter Kratos’ home first and even brings an offering of mead, and Kratos lets him in and points Thor to his seat. They show their weapons to each other, but lay them on the table. “I can fight you, but I’ll hear you out.” Thor even pours the mead for Kratos and (presumably) Atreus, since this scene hints that Thor doesn’t drink anymore. Then Odin barges in without permission, and his first line is, “You know who I am.” He doesn’t wait to be seated and grabs his own chair, drags it to the front of the table, immediately starts making threats and demands, and drinks both of the cups that Thor poured out. Great reintroduction to the new Kratos and an equally great introduction to Thor and Odin. We get so much from so little.
