It would be completely uncanny and cursed if they didn't do such a slow and meticulous character arc. It's still kinda crazy to see, but it's completely deserved! I fuckin love it. I'm just curious about the future of the franchise. Now that it's flipped in its head completely, from a violent tragedy to a very optimistic story, how will them keep things unique? I feel like as much as they stray away from the violence (which is a good thing) they put themselves in danger of losing... the soul of the franchise. I guess they will always spice it up with... Heimdall moments.

Odin's dialogue as Týr really made me appreciate his character. As in, Odin, the character, can really get *into* character. That "He'll only cloud your mind" line has so many layers. On the one hand, he knows it's what he needs to say when they're all bashing Odin's name to make sure he doesn't stand out. But, clouding someone's mind is ambiguous, not really the kind of mental threat Odin really is. It could be Odin slightly bragging. Warning Atreus that Odin will cloud his mind, while he silently clouds everyone's mind around him. Such a good plot twist

You know. Their relationship really started to develop towards the end of the previous game. “Head” this and “head” that. But when they’re falling out of the serpent’s mouth, “brother!” “I have you” Kratos cared, even then

[@dimitroncoolio7340]

"In my youth we learned obedience" "And is that what you want for him?" If i have kids one day im for real gonna need all the lessons from this game its all good stuff.

[@reivensalgado5080]

as soon as mimir talk he back out and left immediently as fast as lighting, it was hillarious. 11:54

[@tannerhutcheson741]

Kratos heard him talk and said “LORE”

[@Nightout88]

13:09 XD "the hells an olive?" I completely forgot for a moment krato's basically destroyed his homeland so none of the plants and animals from their are alive anymore. things like wine, olives and things greek sports like the arena's are just gone.

[@Nightout88]

I hope Mimir is in the next game. He has every right to see the story to completion now. he has a right to be there, he's family just like Pandora was/is. i can't be the only one who feels this way, right?

[@tannerhutcheson741]

Wine is still around technically. Like how kratos and artreus found some in the first game. And I imagine there’s other lands with grapes, so it’s only a matter of time before they make wine. There’s also technically a type of wine found in the Nordic countries called mead. Except instead of grapes, they use honey.

[@raelanimates8829]

From "head" to "brother" Amazing growth of their relationship.

[@justinmoody9164]

One thing I love about GOW: Ragnarok is how it not only shows Kratos’ change in character by how he raises Atreus but also by how he acquired and treated his weapons compared to the ones he had in Greece. He’s ripped the heads off of a couple of opponents and treated them as nothing more tools for how he sees fit, whereas Mimir asked Kratos to cut off his head, gives him counsel and the two have built a brotherly relationship. He considers him a brother, not some weapon or tool. A wise older brother he gets to hang on his belt lol. Same with Faye’s Axe, Leviathan. It was given to him in love and it always comes back to him, as opposed to Blades of Chaos… Which were forged out of Hate, Strife and Malice and given to him to be used solely as an instrument of war, to decimate all whom he saw fit, even the innocent. They too are destined to return to him. There’s a scene where he enters his home and throws down the Blades of Chaos, while he gently sets the Axe down next to him. He’s come such a long way but he’s still the same man from the beginning, just wiser… Better. A masterclass in storytelling 🎉

[@trietlam1438]

Mimir is on a role here, he made Kratos liked a riddle, asked him to tell a story, and made a joke that actually tickles the God Of War

[@magne7771]

I love it. Kratos has 100% thought about frying something to eat on his blades _atleast_ once. I'm imagining him sitting in a cave, over a failed attempt at a campfire, holding some flint in one hand, and one of the blades in the other, just weighing his options.

[@Moonmoon-ws6jo]

I really just love how these two are co-parenting Atreus too, two bros being the lad’s fathers.

[@HappiKarafuru]

From a person who odin prison by having hin stuck in tree for many winters, to be decapitated and brought back to life by Freya, being call "head" to actually being call "Brother" by the God of war himself. Mimir came along way of character development

[@Munchies2019]

Its so refreshing to see kratos have empathy and bond with someone who he otherwise would never care for. Mimir is someone kratos needed in his life, he's smart, trustworthy and wise. He looks after both kratos and atreus like family. It feels like for the first time kratos has had someone look out for him genuinely and not selfishly like athena.

[@seth9655]

13:02 Mimir: Any pre-Fimbulwinter foods you're aching for? Kratos: Olives. Mimir: The hell's an "olive"?

[@ANKDrew]

“Kratos, throw me at him! Horns first!” 😂😂😂😂😂 best line from mimir

[@Despotic_Waffle]

The writing in these two recent GOW's has been so charming.

[@alexmyladoor4858]

2:14 I love the way brok comes in with the AYE!!

[@Snow.Frostborne_Ch]

1:23 my man Kratos, I’m about to shed a tear. The man had come so far from his rage

[@webbywestside4419]

13:35 holy shit that’s referencing the lady in the lake and King Arthur!

[@tylerda282]

Amazing how Kratos the son of Zues is now pretty much the All-Father of the Norse pantheon .

[@GurpreetDutt]

I love that Atreus and Mimirs arguing implies that they have lots of family fights

[@ytw101]

Kratos truly has come a long way from his time in Greece. I'm really happy how he has finally gotten a form a peace he deserves after all he has done. He finally has a family that truly loves him for who he is. A friend he shares his confidences and relates well. And a home he can truly belong. Kratos is one of the best protagonists to exist in video games.

[@Tigran-Abazyan]

Yup. And his long way his boy Atreus and bro Mimir helping him to be better. And he did it he become far better than his older self). The evolution of a monster with awesome blades is crazy))

[@pinoyjona]

One of my favorite character developments, Kratos moved up from calling Mimir from “Head,” to “Brother.” What Kratos been through and all he lost, addressing Mimir as his own kin gave me pure joy then turned to concern on what if Mimir is gonna die in this game or Mimir pulls a betrayal to Kratos, recycling Kratos’ trust issues from the previous games…then immediately tossed the idea of betrayal when Mimir became more an uncle for Atreus and having more strong bonding scenes with Kratos.

[@themarkedwarrior]

"VERY talented with a sword." "Mimir.."💀

[@dashanikitina5337]

3:02 This entire sequence is so goddamn good lmao

[@ares123olive]

13:54 Atreus asking for suggestion from the 2 bald guys 🤣🤣🤣

[@tannerhutcheson741]

Yeah, he didn’t really thing that through 😂😂😂

[@JarvisBaileyVA]

The fact that Kratos has friends, confidants, people he fights for. No longer obsessed with the glory of Sparta, vengeance against Ares, the fall of Olympus. Just the well being of his new friends and family. It's so beautiful.

[@Tigran-Abazyan]

Its more noble intentions than vengeance. Kratos find a reason to go on and be better. His BOY and his bro Mimir helping him in that journey and i think he didnt regret it)

[@Kamina.D.Fierce]

They've each been through a lot... Both together and alone. Pretty straight forward they'd eventually become bros. (Truth be told it's better for Kratos than it was with Deimos, Hercules, or any of the rest of Zeus' b@st@rds Kratos was technically related to.)

[@Pluvillion]

It’s been an awfully long while until Kratos finally had someone to knock some sense into him again (after what happened before as well as Faye’s death). He’s finally able to discuss adult matters sincerely without sugarcoating it for Loki and dismissing it for everyone else (minus Freya). Mimir’s a good brother. I know he’s just a head always slung behind Kratos, yet my word was he so patient with him. Unsurprisingly for the wisest man, but he really saw potential with Kratos to be better not only for his sake but for Atreus, too. That also makes him an amazing uncle.

[@RedWolf-nl8ni]

Kratos learning from mimir and calling him brother just hits hard, and he better be in the next game

[@arvee3451]

11:56 "brother i had a thought, what if we took a stealthy approach to our next battle?" "no" LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL

[@askeladd2136]

Kratos: Brother Helios: what? Kratos: not you flashlight

[@HeadbutKneecap]

"I have had good council since then brother" - that was the moment when Kratos really acknowledged him as his brother and my favourite interaction between the two.

[@ZeroAxle]

Bloody hell, Kratos was alive to hear of the hot gates and was actually at Troy? Crazy

[@dvsat12]

Them calling each other brother is awesome

[@icampexfils3637]

Love how Mimir referenced Nimue who was the Lady Of The Lake that made Excalibur.

[@derrickhaggard]

And Nimue also forged Aerondight the sword of Lancelot.

[@lilrav4125]

in 6:38 you can see odin spying on kratos as soon as he tells mimir "I have a plan", he was 2 steps ahead this whole time.

[@Hashbrown1682]

I like how kratos says "There's much to be done, and rebuild" Like Zeus said in the final fight in GoW 3. But kratos says with hope.

[@marnamaro1346]

Guess Athena lost that argument. Karma comes around...
