I think some scholars see him as a king of the giants kind of figure, so I guess that's something. But his whole deal was "I'll fuck around with Thor, oops Thor is really powerful, I'd not have fucked around had I realised that, so let me just magic my hall/castle away. Later, suckers!"
Because it's a story that involves nothing but dunking on Thor in a game series that has built Thor up as this unstoppable Juggernaut.
I mean, sure, but I don't see where he'd fit in, or why you'd need him, and he'd have to be basically made from scratch anyway since there's nothing there really.
And I feel like the dwarves and whatnot already kind of shit on Thor in the first game?
They don't go out of their way to relentlessly, mercilessly dunk on Thor.
On the other hand, it's a story about Thor being so determined to prove himself that he does shit that should be actually impossible, so he kinda comes across as being just as terrifyingly powerful as he does in other myths.
At face value, Thor loses all his contests. But when you know the reality of said contests, behind Utgard-Loki's illusions, what he actually did is wild.
But the Snorri story and most adaptations of it don't dunk on Thor at all.
They paint him as dim, maybe, but terrifying. He is set a series of impossible tasks - lift Jörmungandr, drink the ocean, wrestle the personification of old age - and he does so well that Utgard-Loki gets spooked.
It's a demonstration of how awesome Thor is.
Motherfucker got punk'd by the BC Ashton Kutcher
In fact, the verse concludes with Thor mainly focused on wanting another go at Jörmungandr, and the next verse (Hér hefr Gylfaginning, 47) picks up that idea immediately, and shows how awesome Thor is at almost managing to catch it while fishing.
I'm sure it's open to interpretation, and I don't really have a problem with Snorri's bullshit getting an additional layer of bullshit, so it's all good.

it's less that he's strong and more that he's clever enough to punk Thor and Loki.
I just don't see why he'd be a fit for this game seriest. Like, he's a nothing character, so it'd just be an barely obscure name you'd have to develop something for from scratch. I was just curious if there was something to it beyond wanting to namedrop something.
fuckyeeeahhh

But he says them calmly, quietly, politely even. Thor is a great many things in his myths, but cool and collected is not among any of them. That is what made me perk up more than if he'd done massive lightning blasts or flung the hammer around.
I love it. Dude is built like a damn powerlifter.
Yeah and ProZD is no slouch either
He was also a life-sized spectral squirrel, so the concept of him having human motion capture is new. He's probably a bigger deal this time around.
Ratatoskr, squirrel of chaos and discord!
Would be neat to see those two.
Not gonna lie, I completely forgot that Nidhogg and Jormungandr were two different entities.
Still though, a bitchy squirrel whispering lies to two god-like entities for no other reason than sowing chaos/discord is fuckin hilarious
i also have the re-release of 3, which ill likely play at some point, even tho i know theyre tonally entirely different games, im up for it
Is there a way to play 1 and 2 on a ps5? not sure how backwards compatibility works on sony consoles and i only have a ps5
As much as I loved God of War 2018, I got the sense that they were purposefully holding back so they could really crank it up several notches in sequels.
It did a good job of setting up for future payoffs. Although it had a solid standalone story that worked really well, it also did a great job of table setting for any future games
I hope they add environmental finishers. It feels like the kind of thing that would work so well. But I don’t think that’s the direction they’re going with the combat system, ah well
Are you a bad enough dude to hijack the God of War thread?
I think they’re still available on PSNow but you’ll have to stream them since you can’t download PS3 games
Also, other big endgame spoiler that was just marvelous"
That could be a really cool and frankly, terrifying way of depecting him.
Plus you know
