[@Theantininja]

@@CallMePseudonymous Hard to enjoy it when he plays so terribly. There's a dozen other channels that have uploaded it and took half the time with fewer mistakeson the highest difficulty. Moreover, he cannot even realistically call himself the biggest god of war channel because some of those channels are bigger than his. I respect the hustle, and I understand this is a hard platform to succeed on, especially when it comes to uploading gaming content, but that does not change the fact that this particular guy is neither the biggest nor the best at what he does, and seeing him advertise himself as either just comes off as desperate and cringy. And putting the video in 40k 60 fps hardly changes that.

[@AStrangeWindmill]

It's really more that he did exactly what the Norns said he would do, throwing a wrench in the whole "defy fate so you want die" thing. It wasn't just that he did his old thing, it's that he did his old thing and that might be a path that leads him to fated death. The theme of this one is destiny vs choice, which the Norns kind of lampshade by saying that all fate is is people being able to predict what choices you'll make. But that's something Kratos is still trying to figure out at this point, so he's like "was this my choice (and I'm able to make other ones), or am I doomed to slay gods and die".

[@Dumdumb235]

If that happen than Kratos would destroy the all the gods with his rage soooo best that Hemidall didn't do that

[@lamb6320]

Heimdall was by far my most liked character of the Norse. Really appreciated the detail of the spear overloading his mind so he can't see the future, and at the end where Kratos' old self slowly slipped back he was able to see into Kratos' mind and him muttering "Monster" before his death was so good. It is an utter disrespect to compare him to Hermes who was all talk no balls.

Hermes was very underwhelming and died begging for his life. Heimdall had the skill and power to back up his arrogance and died with a smile on his face.

For those wondering, kratos tells Mimir that most of the gods he fought back in Greece were far mightier than Heimdall. Just bringing this up because people keep saying that the Greek gods were weak compared to the Norse gods which is not true at all. It's also stated by Freya that Heimdall is on of the few gods that can fight on par with Thor. Also Freya herself says the sisters of fate of Greece are far superior to the norns aka the sisters of fate of the Norse realm. She also says the magic the Greek sisters of fate wielded sounded far superior to any magic she has heard of and Mimir adds that if Odin could get his powers of the Greek sisters of fate they would've been long dead. People need to stop sleeping on the Greek gods.

[@grim1192]

Mimir's line "I don't know if we're breaking fate.....or if it's breaking us" This line hits hard because the norns just said that Kratos will do what is in his nature. Yes that means protecting his son, but could also be taken as his nature to kill anything in his path, even god's.

No, he's weaker now & there's no way around it other than head-canon lol. He does not have the immortality of a full Olympian as he's a demigod & was robbed of his position on Olympus by Zeus (even though he only had the position for a short while after killing Ares), this is why he's vulnerable to aging. He is, at least physically, deteriorating. The thing is, this doesn't matter much since everything points to the Nordic pantheon generally being weaker than the Greek pantheon. The battles are far less cataclysmic & world-ending, and it's implied Gods get their power from worship; the Greek world was far larger than the Nordic one, giving a far larger prayerbase to draw power from.

This makes me really wonder what Baldr was like between them all. Thor is a "Destroyer", Heimdall is this untouchable loyalist, and Odin states that Baldr was his best tracker aka was smart enough to find shit and not destroy it. But based on Baldr's personality in the previous game, I get the feeling he really enjoyed provoking Heimdall and Thor into beating his ass, only for them to eventually grow bored with him as he can't feel pain and kinda just laughs at their frustration. This probably led him to feel isolated as they no longer wanted to hang out with him. Probably helped him plunge into insanity.

I wouldn't say it was because it was tough that he let loose. If that was the case he would've done it a lot sooner with Thor in their first fight. I think it was because Heimdall ignored his mercy twice, taunted him and his loved ones the whole fight, and most importantly directly threatened to kill Atreus if he left this fight alive. Just like with Thor, threatening Atreus is Kratos's instant trigger to stop holding back. Heimdall was playing with matches next to a gas leak the whole time and didn't see it until it blew up in his face.

It's a simple premise really: Don't fuck with Kratos and then be all shocked and surprised when he kills you. Heimdall's arrogance that came from his foresight is what doomed him.
