Kratos acknowledging that he must tell Atreus, but demanding to personally take responsibility for it really hits hard. In Ragnarok when Mimir mentions how far Kratos has come from when they first met, Kratos responds "I've had good counsel since then" and this is a prime example.

[@lordology4815]

So true man! The character development across the Norse saga has been superb! 👌

[@krorcweini7776]

Considering after Mimir's head has been revived Kratos said "When I need counsel HEAD, I will ask" 👏🏻

[@eddthehead123]

And Mimir is such a bro he instantly picks up on the inflection Kratos puts on *You* and drops it immediately. Mimir calls Kratos "Brother" but he is truly a Bro.

I would most certainly agree. See it as the Norse Æsir are more refined and almost Godfather-like, and the Olympian Pantheon are more akin as royalty.

[@rileybolling761]

Ghost of Sparta is still just a crazy ominous name

[@CinJyxxe]

Honestly, this scene was the one that made me genuinely respect Mimir as more than a Mr. Exposition character. Despite being literally just a head with nothing more than his smarts, he openly calls Kratos out for being hard-headed and forces him to confront his feelings face-on. Despite literally just figuring out he's the Ghost of Sparta who decimated most of the Greek Pantheon.

[@backtoklondike]

They really subverted a lot of things with Mimir. You'd think he'd only be expositing and be the comic relief and could ruin scenes by making one-liners all the time. Sure he is the comic relief but they gave him depth. When moments needed to play out, he either keep quiet or he'd turn serious. And at the end of the first game, he even stayed with the dwarves because that was a moment Kratos and Atreus needed to be alone for and he wanted to respect that.

[@lordology4815]

One of the many reasons why Mimir is the GOAT!

I really love how Mimir started out as just another tool for Kratos but over time becomes someone that Kratos genuinely considers advice from. In just a few sentences. Kratos goes from "The boy must NEVER know. To "If it needs be done, I must be the one to tell him. Nobody else."

[@lordology4815]

And also brok also had influence as well He agreed with kratos in saying we all have to take responsibility some time, offered to tag along with kratos into hel, and time in hel is slower than Midgard so the fact that he came back as quick as he did shows how fast he was working in getting those blades ready

[@maniik_flix4837]

"From what I heard, the Pantheon had it coming." Mimir heard about the fall of the Greek Pantheon.

[@lordology4815]

I always thought that he would’ve heard about this from Tyr since it’s spoken about in 2018 that Tyr travelled to different realms/worlds!

[@kingpatty4628]

​@@lordology4815To think about it, Greece was the last trip Tyr went before he was imprisoned by Odin when he returned home. He arrived during Kratos's time serving under Ares (If you look at the cutscenes in Tyr's temple where Kratos finds a vase with the painting of his former self there) so He was there long enough to witness Kratos's war against Olympus and then left when Greece is in ruins. He told the tales about the ghost of sparta to the Aesir but of course, none of them bought it because they think the story is fictious or so unrealistic.

[@tacticallemon7518]

@@kingpatty4628There’s also an interpretation of one of the drawings where tyr gave Greece the bells to summon Hugin and Mugin Which, assuming i spelled right, are the wolves that chase the sun and moon around, causing the day/night cycle Because Kratos killed Helios, nobody was around anymore to drive his chariot, meaning no more cycle

In a past journey, Kratos would've used a wise, talking head as glue to jam in the gears of a mechanical door to keep it open or as bait for some beast in his way. Mimir is fortunate they crossed paths after he mellowed out enough to listen to criticism.

There are easier and less painful methods to commit suicide

[@lordology4815]

True that, I always felt that in both 2018 & Ragnarök Kratos was holding back in some way as he didn't want to be the destroyer anymore but a creator of sorts, similar to the message that he constantly brings up in the norse saga "we must be better".

Some things are more effective the less we know about them.

[@jaimeburgoslopez8623]

I appreciate that Kratos actually hears Mimir and nods when he says that they must never go to thar way

[@lordology4815]

Kratos hears the seriousness in Mimir’s voice which up till that point he had been very chill.

[@alpineassault]

"I'm dangling from the hip of the bloody Ghost of Sparta." lmfao I will never forget that line.

[@lordology4815]

Underrated as hell!

[@ZeldaboyOG]

I forgot how great this game is.

[@lordology4815]

It’s still arguably one of the best narrative driven story games of all time!

[@ZeldaboyOG]

@@lordology4815 I loved just canoeing around with my son and listening to Mimir tell us stories.

[@MrGodsChaos]

I don't like that nothing was ever done with the big ass bird

[@lordology4815]

I second this bro!

[@callmejason3520]

i heard that it was supposed to be a boss in the first game but they didn't have enough resources

[@jorgel.quiroz8862]

0:19 I like how Mimir's voice is so commanding in this part.

[@lordology4815]

Bro needed to make sure Kratos listened lol

[@Howlingburd19]

Mimir has to be one of the most likable characters ever :)

[@lordology4815]

Hands down 👌Ragnarok did a good job of showing another side to him though, with him enslaving that creature in the dwarves realm!

[@husucXXX]

wish they did more with this

[@lordology4815]

Definitely bro 👌

[@ponglenis9273]

Having kratos carry a severed talking head around was a genius decision

[@lordology4815]

Couldn't agree more!

[@bruhmeme9121]

i just love how Kratos closes his eye when Mimir said the word "ghost of sparta" Kratos just HATES it when someone mention one of the titles that he despised

[@lordology4815]

It's that constant reminder of what he did to his family.

[@yuyo3690]

The way he says “Zeus” and “my father” you hear the pain

[@lordology4815]

It's the reason why it's one of my favourite moments from this monumental game!

[@mikkelnpetersen]

"You will tell him nothing" "I won't, because he needs to hear it from YOUR mouth, when the time is right"

[@lordology4815]

Mimir is literally his 2nd father lol

[@playinggamesyt8587]

he is the type of guy to go there and come back

[@lordology4815]

Bro literally walked out of the underworld how many times? lol

[@xikaryo6735]

I always have a hard time choosing a favorite character between Mimir and Brok. I love them.

[@lordology4815]

The Norse characters are all so loveable, it's hard to pick.

[@mixmaster3028]

You know, there’s a chance he has another son actually running around whatever left of grease the one that may have been conceived when he was with Aphrodite

[@lordology4815]

That would be cool if they featured his ‘other’ son against Atreus!

[@TheHolyNade]

*hits bong* "It's all connected, maaan"

[@lordology4815]

That’s way too accurate hahahaha!! 😂😂🤣

[@xzenitramx666]

Your father was sus? That explains a Lot.

[@lordology4815]

He was pretty sus though lol

[@shaquilleotmeal5179]

This has got to be the best game series of all time

[@lordology4815]

Agreed!

[@TheSpook313]

Do *NOT* call me that.

[@BLAZE..44.]

Cool moment 😊

[@lordology4815]

Very underrated moment from this terrific masterpiece!

[@nawafalsulaiman1671]

Mimir's reaction is hilarious

[@lordology4815]

Very true!

[@KoOkiEzRoCkz]

“What is that place?” Sounded so ready to go in and take care of Zeus AGAIN.

[@lordology4815]

He was mentally preparing himself to do it again lol

[@Deadman1000]

I think I love when Kratos says, "Do NOT call me that..." because The Ghost of Sparta is what everyone used to taunt him with. He was the last of the Spartans who killed his own family and was forced to wear their ashes and the Gods of Olympus never let him forget it

[@lordology4815]

Thats spot on bro!

[@Sadf430]

Can we appreciate how amazing Hræsvelgar looks in this scene

[@lordology4815]

Pretty sure you’re the first person to mention how awesome she looks!

[@Sadf430]

​​@@lordology4815 ikr, and when she speaks in gowr, imo she sounds scarier than Jormungandur. Btw you a g for still replying to these comments

[@lordology4815]

@@Sadf430 True that bro, Jormungandur is way too chill in comparison lol. No worries man, appreciate the kind words!

This was a great movie

-Never go there. Understand? -Aight. *Proceeds to go there 4 years later*

Telling Kratos not to do something is counter productive lol

[@Anbergend]

@@lordology4815 imo true

[@drangelice]

Mimir: You've come a long way from when I first met ya, brother. Kratos: I have had good counsel since then, brother.

[@lordology4815]

Greatest bromance! ❤️

[@grfrjiglstan]

Knowing everything Mimir told us about his past in Ragnarok, i wonder who would've been waiting for him over there.

[@lordology4815]

That’s a very intriguing thought cause clearly Mimir was one of Odin’s most trusted advisors, which makes me wonder how he found favour with a god as twisted as Odin!

[@misterfister5810]

The way he says “my father”

[@lordology4815]

Gives me chills every time!

[@giannineon6319]

I love how kratos has a severed head

[@lordology4815]

Don't we all!

[@maximus9968]

It sounded like it he was scared at first and then he wanted to destroy him again

[@lordology4815]

After everything Zeus pulled, and everything Kratos went through to bring him down, those memories would’ve come flooding through in this moment!

[@tsuryu]

i love this dialogue, holy shit

[@lordology4815]

Me too man!

[@jpshade2404]

I really hoped we’d be able to go there

[@lordology4815]

I’m pretty sure we were supposed to go there in Ragnarok but the idea was scrapped during development! 🥲

I'm so American I thought that was a Abraham tank in the thumbnail 🤦🤣

[@readysetgo6724]

Minir is like Hershel from the walking dead

[@lordology4815]

Never thought of it like that lol, I guess I'm gonna have to go back and re watch Walking Dead!

[@Mr-Moron]

That “Never go there. Understand?” from Mimir. The entire time, Mimir’s been an advisor, some entertainment, and a second opinion if he was lucky. But now, speaking way out of tongue, doesn’t advice Kratos to not go, doesn’t imply they shouldn’t, he commands Kratos not to. And I’m certain that was the moment Kratos began to gain a little respect for Mimir, and knowing how he’s never spoken like that before, understands the importance that of all the things Mimir has said, this is the _one_ thing Kratos needs to listen to.

[@lordology4815]

True that, Mimir loves to have a laugh most of the time, but this is one of the more underrated and unique moments from 2018 when our boy was dead serious!
