Balder is probably my favorite God of War villain. His demeanor, story, voice acting is so cool. He is also probably the strongest Aesir - he gives so much trouble for Kratos while fighting with his bare fucking hands. While Thor has his unbreakable hammer, Odin his witch-slaying spear, and even Kratos the Leviathan Axe and the Blades, Balder goes bare handed.

Baldur's only strong because he's unkillable with the spell Freya created. In the actual Norse Mythology Baldur is one of the weakest Gods to exist, but Santa Monica chose to make him different, it's there adaptation at the end of the day and loved every minute of it.

True, but this isn’t the myth. Odin himself seems to hold Baldur in higher regard than Thor, who he considers brainless muscle. Baldur was his best tracker, his ‘closer’, someone who he depended on for solo or small team missions. Invulnerability or not, he had over a hundred years of being a relentless bare knuckle fighter. And even without his immortality he repeatedly healed from wounds given by the Leviathan Axe, which would later give Thor a wound that didn’t heal even long after the fact.

27:55 i see this as how the thought process of a man and a woman is fundamentally different here, a different perspective. Baldur wanted to feel, and Freya being her mother wanted to protect him at any cost. Whether she understood his point of view and tried to not enforce her protection on him, or he understood her point of view and be not able to feel anything in exchange for a painless life, does not matter because there will never be a common ground. There's no logic to this
@fezz670123 күн бұрын
Youre understanding doesn't make sense, this isn't the thought process between genders. Its more of what a parent wants vs what their child wants. Your argument would only work with freyas husband, it's just incorrect to see this as man vs woman thought process ...

@amivron character development is well and good but he was neutered. If I wanted a heart warming story of a father who changed his ways I'd watch a hallmark movie. Imagine a God of War who doesn't want another war, all because he had a child with some random red head and the child looks like a mouth breather

@@MissableContentI don’t miss it. I mean there is some fun parts but I recently replayed go of war 1 and 2 and I got annoyed when fighting the different enemies. So repetitive that I started using up magic hit to get them gone faster because I grew tired of it. The combat in the new games is far and away better. Even if you have been fighting lots of enemies it doesn’t have that repetitive feeling like the older games have. Like anything else though it’s open to interpretation by who is playing. Everyone has a preference.
