in the original norse myth, anyone can hand Mjolnir, theres a story of a giant who stole the hammer, forcing thor to go into a embarrassing disguise to take it back
As I remember it was also that, apart of the belt and gauntlets, Thor could use Mjolnir because his physical capabilities allowed him to withstand any drawbacks from the hammer.
In Norse lore there's nothing magically about Mjölnir except that it's physically very heavy. You don't need to be worthy to lift it. So anyone strong can lift it. Thor is both strong and has a belt that grants him more strength.
Ackshually, Mjolnir is magic. It’s indestructible, acts like a boomerang, and can change size. But it’s true that anyone can use it, not just “worthy” people.
i think there was the additional factor where mjolnir was made wrong, as a joke. it was supposed to be a longer hammer, but the handle was made too short by loki fricking around. thor's tard strength allowed him to use it fine but for anyone else, it was more confusing as to how they were even supposed to hold it.
Kratos is stronger than Thor. This is the guy who stopped Atlas from crushing him when said titan was strong enough to hold up the entirety of Greece and Mount Olympus. The same Kratos whos one punch knocked out two of Thors teeth and dazed him for a good couple of seconds.
Kratos beat Hercules, who held up the world for a while
And he beat him pretty handily
I'd say holding the world on your shoulders is more impressive than fighting a snake who winds his way around the world, since Hercules would have also been holding up Jormungandr
I didn't play GOWR, but doesn't kratos throw all 9 realms or some shit around like it's a coffee table?
>I'd say holding the world on your shoulders is more impressive than fighting a snake who winds his way around the world
where exactly did atlas and heracles stand when they kept the world up?
Kratos' strength is completely inconsistent. In one QTE he'll struggle to push a feeble old man into a book, in another he'll literally lift Atlas' hand. All that matters for Kratos' strength is whatever will get little boy's dicks hard when they mash the circle button and gape at the screen as the cutscene plays out.
Just imagine he is the Hulk, gets stronger than angrier he becomes or something. Kind of hard to design a game around a guy that accidentally crushes anything he touches because of his overwhelming uncontrollable strength.
Silly newbie, Ganker had meme magic before /misc/, other boards too probably except /x/ those guys fricked it up and lost meme magic for the entire board.
>as well as the Thor/Loki brother thing
there are enough mentions about him being odin's and frigg's son, besides the other stories that make him out to be a fire giant sent by surtr, or to inveigle the two tribes into a fight etc. and others that simply call him a wanderer that arrived at the aesir's hall.
all these stories are equivalent because mythology is a collection of different retellings and interpretations of much older stories still, and there is no original and unadulterated version left.
he let himself go (ie the setting is different)
kratos in gow1 (much less 3) is clearly more capable than grandpa kratos no matter what the authors day. the final fight against the israelite is street tier mmo bullshit
In one of the casuals conversations between Atreus, Kratos and Mimir, Mimir says that greeks gods used to have incredible powers. After that, Atreus asked Kratos if he can use this kind of power and Kratos said that he tried, but he's no longer capable of doing it.
This was an epic moment NGL. Felt very reminiscent of Cap trying to lift up the hammer in Avengers: Age of Ultron, only to finally lift it an epic call-back in Avengers: Endgame. Kinda funny, Kratos is a Norse-God, but he comes across like an American. Seems intentional.
The concept art for Thor has his magical belt and gloves that give him enough strength to lift the hammer but it was removed for muh gritty down to Earth fantasy. Imagine if he was much stronger than Kratos at first because of his items.
So, where are we going next lads? Japan would be kino, Egypt of course. Of course we'll never see Christianity or israeli pantheons for him to frick up.
YHWH is just the strongest of a pantheon, the rest he sent to Hell and we call devils
Even the Bible/Talmud speak of other Gods, but there is only one you should worship as he is above the rest of them. It never denies that there are other Gods by any means, just that only one of them actually matters.
I feel like they'll split up God of War with a spin off of Atreus as the main in one myth as a grown man and Kratos and Freya the mains in another now with children. Two games in each pantheon for the two and then they meet up in a crossover final game before rebooting for the next.
So, I tried Dark Souls on release and prompty got filtered the frick off, but i managed to beat Ragnarok and 4 on 2nd hardest difficulty. (and did 4/12 optional berserker fights.) Am i ready for Souls yet?
Just play it like demon's souls until you get better gear and skills. or try nioh 2 it's way easier but seriously you're missing out on one of the best action games there is.
For Odin to ape as someone, they need to be alive
Meaning yes, Tyr was alive for the entire game and was inside Odin's rape dungeon, and you can release him in post-game
Tyr is stil alive, you save him from a prison in Nifelheim post game. Then he pops up around the world but everytime you come across him he just asks to be left alone.
Thors hammer was originally intended as a two handed warhammer. But due to Loki fricking around, the handle became way to fricking short so it became a 1-handed hammer.
i think there was the additional factor where mjolnir was made wrong, as a joke. it was supposed to be a longer hammer, but the handle was made too short by loki fricking around. thor's tard strength allowed him to use it fine but for anyone else, it was more confusing as to how they were even supposed to hold it.

That’s pretty interesting if true, never heard of that side
Basically while the hammer was being forged, Loki, who'd made a bet about it turning out bad or something, distracted the dwarves as a fly. They mostly ignored him until near the end, which is why the handle got fricked up.
the story of the 3 treasures was my favorite as a kid. i might be getting alot wrong, but it went like, loki was tasked to pick up 3 treasures from craftsmantown. while he was there, he goaded that no one could make better treasures than these. two craftsman brothers took him on the bet where the wager was fricking beheading. the brothers could very well make treasures better than those, but loki secretly fricked with them by like tying their shoelaces together or prank calling them during their forging. in the end, each of these new 3 treasures had a flaw in them, mjolnir being the handle. they presented all 6 treasures to odin and he was pleased, but agreed that loki was sort of a dick and declared him the loser with only a minor beheading, as a slap on the wrist.
Loki, in classic fashion, argued they were fully entitled to a beheading but could not under any circumstances harm his neck. After much bickering between the parties about what constituted the start of the head and the end of the neck, the dwarves elected to sew his mouth shut instead.
A fly bit the smith while he was forging the hammer, so the handle came out short
I can't remember if Loki was the fly, or he sent the fly, or if the fly was just a fricking butthole
They probably didn't want you killing off Thor as some mid-game boss to give you Mjolnir to use for a good chunk of the game. I'm happy with the Draupnir though. It is about time that a SPARTAN got a fricking spear to use.

Then make Mjolnir different. Add some sort of weather or flying mechanic to it and structure levels around this. Are devs really this creatively stunted?
It's not about it being different. They've explained why they didn't pick Mjolnir. Literally everyone expected it when it was revealed to be Norse mythology this time around. When you didn't get it, it surprised you, because it opened up other possibilities and Norse weapons, rather than just "Oh Mjolnir, cool." It's too obvious and basic of a choice, so they decided against it.
It's not hard to understand, it's actually a smart move by them to not include it as a weapon. Way too fricking obvious of a choice, basic as frick.

The reason is because it was too obvious of a weapon, they wanted to subvert your expectations, and they did.
Roman is no different than fricking Greek, which was the entire point of the game in the first place. Egyptian is way different and has vastly more entertaining concepts in some places.
We'd be getting shit like Atum/Ra blasting solar beams at Kratos, Kratos fighting moon shit with Thoth, a sea of sand as the underworld, tons of animal themed Gods, etc.
Sure a lot of this exists in Roman, but you could do the extra distance with Egyptian. Roman would be nearly identical to Greek.
It'd be pointless, it's just a rehash of GoW1-3 in Italy. Might as well just reboot the entire series again, but now Kratos is a Centurion instead of a Spartan.
Ragnarok ended with Kratos being worshiped as a benevolent god, you don't think there's potential in a story where he goes home to rebuild and finds the gods have been reborn
I don't hate the idea and we know that Zeus is in Helheim so him coming up with a way to be reborn as the Roman pantheon has potential but it's also retreading familiar ground. There's a shitload of other God myths out there, that's the sort of shit you do when you've exhausted all the others.
Mimir and Atreus were both able to hea the voice of Zeus too but I guess it could just be Helheim playing with them.

>In his temple you find a vase with angry god slaying Kratos depicted on it.
Yeah but Tyr has shit from all over the realms. It's said he's travelled everywhere. How much he knows about everything is up for debate. When Kratos tells him his name he confirms he's heard of him but doesn't say much else or care to hear anything new. >Even Mimir knows about Kratos, likely from Tyr as well.
He also doesn't know that much. It takes him a while to piece together that Kratos is the Ghost of Sparta and that's only after Kratos confirms his father was Zeus. Seems more like he's heard a few myths but never actually learned much about him. In Ragnarok he presses Kratos for more information about Ancient Greece and seems surprised at some of the answers.
Even if "being worthy" wasn't a Marvel invention, it wouldn't matter. Someone in the writing room thought it would be cool if Kratos could lift it, therefore he does. If this were still styled after the original trilogy, not only would he lift it, he'd smash Thor's skull to a pulp and keep Mjolnir afterwards as an awkward boomerang type weapon.
>even though they didn't do the MAHVEL thing, I'm going to insist that it had something to do with it anyway with no evidence!
so MAHVEL is yet another boogieman living rent free in your head. Got it. >If this were still styled after the original trilogy, not only would he lift it, he'd smash Thor's skull to a pulp and keep Mjolnir afterwards as an awkward boomerang type weapon.
But even if that were the case, wouldn't that still make your original assertion plausible? Also, if you're still b***hing about why Kratos isn't a hyperviolent revenge monster, then you clearly never played 3 since the whole point of that ending was that his rage and vengeance didn't bring him anything but more suffering. That's the point is that he got his revenge and only bad shit happened so there was no one left to be mad at, hence why he moved to Midgard to try to start over. He actively doesn't want to become that again. Going back to that only makes the ending of the original trilogy meaningless and whether you like the new games or not, just doing more of the old ones has no narrative place. If they were going to do more of the same of the original trilogy, they'd be better off leaving Kratos out of it and keeping it in the respective pantheon. If they want to continue Krato's story, this is how he'd have to behave, else the ending of the previous trilogy has no meaning.

no such thing as being worthy, the hammer is just heavy
>So is Kratos worthy or strong enough to actually lift Mjolnir?
No such thing as worthy
Thats a marvel invention
The Hammer is just incredibly heavy
>is kratos strong enough
It was just ridiculously heavy. Even Thor himself needed a magic belt that doubled his strength to lift it.
Judging by their fight It's beyond Kratos' limit
Kratos is stronger than Thor. This is the guy who stopped Atlas from crushing him when said titan was strong enough to hold up the entirety of Greece and Mount Olympus. The same Kratos whos one punch knocked out two of Thors teeth and dazed him for a good couple of seconds.
Thor was able to wreslte with the world serpent in the myths
Dont know if Kratos is capable of this

No, Kratos simply lifted Tyr's Temple, which is a gateway between all nine realms. People for some reason think that means he lifted all the realms.
He just held up Greece. The "worlds" in god of ear are just the countries or region of that pantheon. Still probably enough though
>I'd say holding the world on your shoulders is more impressive than fighting a snake who winds his way around the world
where exactly did atlas and heracles stand when they kept the world up?
It wasn't the world, Atlas held up the heavens. Heracles did that too for a bit.

what if he lied to keep atreus' unhealthy obsessions in check?
They were talking about the magic he used in that game
He very clearly lied, he uses God of War powers in GoW4 and Ragnarok.
This was an epic moment NGL. Felt very reminiscent of Cap trying to lift up the hammer in Avengers: Age of Ultron, only to finally lift it an epic call-back in Avengers: Endgame. Kinda funny, Kratos is a Norse-God, but he comes across like an American. Seems intentional.
I love everything about this post so much its unreal
Thanks, broski. Some times we epic fail. Some times we epic win.
The concept art for Thor has his magical belt and gloves that give him enough strength to lift the hammer but it was removed for muh gritty down to Earth fantasy. Imagine if he was much stronger than Kratos at first because of his items.
So, where are we going next lads? Japan would be kino, Egypt of course. Of course we'll never see Christianity or israeli pantheons for him to frick up.
He's going to American Gods next, i.e. super-heroes & Disney characters. It's gonna be Kingdom Hearts on steroids, broskis.

living weapon is ridiculously OP in nioh 1, i used that to melt through the bosses
I would think so. I beat Dark Souls relatively easily but King Hrolf took me hours on the 2nd hardest setting of Ragnarok.
He beats Thor with ease at the end of the game and is strong enough to withstand Cronos' full grip power in GOW3, so yes to both.
OP is a weak homosexual just like kratos
So was Tyr just killed so Odin could replace him, or is he fricking off somewhere?
For Odin to ape as someone, they need to be alive

It is funny that it took 5 mainline games and 2 decades for them to give a Spartan spear and a shield to use.

>taking marvel shit as norse canon
Even if "being worthy" wasn't a Marvel invention, it wouldn't matter. Someone in the writing room thought it would be cool if Kratos could lift it, therefore he does. If this were still styled after the original trilogy, not only would he lift it, he'd smash Thor's skull to a pulp and keep Mjolnir afterwards as an awkward boomerang type weapon.
>even though they didn't do the MAHVEL thing, I'm going to insist that it had something to do with it anyway with no evidence!
so MAHVEL is yet another boogieman living rent free in your head. Got it.

But even if that were the case, wouldn't that still make your original assertion plausible? Also, if you're still b***hing about why Kratos isn't a hyperviolent revenge monster, then you clearly never played 3 since the whole point of that ending was that his rage and vengeance didn't bring him anything but more suffering. That's the point is that he got his revenge and only bad shit happened so there was no one left to be mad at, hence why he moved to Midgard to try to start over. He actively doesn't want to become that again. Going back to that only makes the ending of the original trilogy meaningless and whether you like the new games or not, just doing more of the old ones has no narrative place. If they were going to do more of the same of the original trilogy, they'd be better off leaving Kratos out of it and keeping it in the respective pantheon. If they want to continue Krato's story, this is how he'd have to behave, else the ending of the previous trilogy has no meaning.
Ihihihi who knows anon, are you worthy enough to touch grass? magical hammers aren't real!
