    *I accidentally cut a part of Mimir stating he needs his other eye to open the door to Jotunheim and Brok/Sindri saying that his other eye may be in the statue of Thor which the World Serpent swallowed. Yup... that's what I get for editing late when i'm exhausted... Sorry about that!*
    WOW! Everytime this game gets to a deep part of the story, I am BLOWN AWAY. This whole episode was SO much fun and so tense and emotional! I legitimately almost lost it 😂! Just soooo well done!
    *READ AFTER WATCHING*
    I truly felt like there were so many layers to pull back during this whole episode. We get to see this amazing bond between Kratos and Atreus and it honestly makes me so emotional to see how far they've come together. Kratos being so closed off and strict in the beginning and Atreus just being young and wreckless. Santa Monica Studios did SO well in making this father and son bond feel real that it sheds light on what it would feel like to be a parent to even me who has no experience or others who don't either. It really makes you realize how far a parent would go to protect their child and why. They also show this through Freya's pain and unconditional love. She is willing to give her life to her child who has clearly lost humanity just to see him live. I still feel bad that Baldurs life was more than a little bit destroyed but, Kratos gave him a choice to be better and he refused in the end (he also hurt the World Serpent and you know how I feel about that!😜). It's interesting to me that in the very last moments of his life he acknowledged and felt the snow.. like the only way he could ever have been happy in the end is by dieing and truly feeling what it feels like to lose it all in that moment. I'd love to see everyones thoughts on this episode! So GOOD. I can't wait for the final journey and what it has in store! Sorry for the paragraph but, I couldn't help myself!

      For me, it was Danielle's performance during that scene. (Freya.) Got smoke in my eye. >.> Remember when Atreus was sick, she told Kratos that the runes foretold a needless death for her baby. So, she was only trying to protect him, as a mother would. So tragic.

      It's another of the inversions/subversions of Norse mythology that this game often makes. In myth Jormungandr is the most terrible of monsters, but here he's a chill dude who just happens to be a really, really big snake. ;-)

      @Crab in A Top Hat This is a great short-form analysis of the series mythology. Tyr is usually a minor god, but here he is the most beloved, and significant for his travels and compassion. The Jotuns are seen as warlike beastly giant-barbarians, to be fought and defeated - here they are a people, just wanting to be left alone. The Aesir's deeds and tasks are seen as heroic and legendary - but here, they are the acts of a toxic family of petty, sociopathic bullies. What a beauteous take on the old, well-tread grounds of Norse myth.

      @danieldickson8591 6 лет назад +436

      TitanGT66 -- True. A couple of differences in this case, though. CIPA sufferers can't experience pain, heat, or cold. Baldur couldn't experience any sensation: taste, smell, touch. No pleasure from food, drink, sex. CIPA also affects people from birth, so that's what they consider normal. Baldur had normal feelings, but then had them taken away. So he knew very well what he was missing.

    • @TitanGT66
      @TitanGT66 6 лет назад +217

      Exactly. Every day he had to think about his favorite things that he'll never be able to do again. This means he also had to keep his distance from other gods most of the time because he obviously wouldn't wanna be near them while they're enjoying things he can't. What would you even do with yourself for so many years like that, it's the worst curse ever.

    @danieldickson8591 6 лет назад +860

    The irony of Baldur being a "horrible person," making the wrong choices, obsessed with revenge... is that Kratos used to be the same way. He followed the path of rage and hatred, killing anyone who got in his way, guilty or innocent. In the end he got his vengeance, but it cost him everyone and everything that ever mattered to him.
    I've a feeling Kratos's late Norse wife had a big hand in changing him. Their story is one I'd love to see told one day.

      Daniel Dickson I agree about Faye being a huge reason for his change. The way he speaks of her with such respect and admiration, the look of sadness on his face at the beginning(before cutting down the tree and when he's gathering her ashes) I feel like she taught him a lot about tempering his rage, maybe even kicking his ass since he said she was a great warrior.

    • @kato093
      @kato093 6 лет назад +31

      Suzaku oh..its almost... Its almost like you people dont know how kratos was always like this and that you didnt play the previous games! Wow. Im so surprised! He didnt want to sacrifice Pandora for his own revenge and went even madder when she died as she was one of the last things left he cared for and she reminded him of his daughter Calliope. He sacrificed all his lust for revenge and all of his weapons and power just to see Calliope in the elysian fields. But to stop Persephone whose plan was gonna destroy the world, he sacrifices him being with his daughter forever to save humanity and in doing so he regains all of his power, weapons and lust for revenge.
      The woman had nothing to do with him being how he is. He is just being more carefull so he wont lose another child. He is being so carefull that he was alone by himself hunting the majority of the time avoiding both faye and atreus until faye's death. He wouldnt even kill wild animals unless it was for food, defending only from wolves until they would just get too tired and give up (comic book).
      Now its just in your face so casuals can go "omg! kratos is sooo different and more complicated now" while its totally inaccurate.

I liked his character in the previous games and find it really annoying how most game journalists selectively remember the past games.
      I do believe that after losing everything at the end of 3, and probably not wanting to live anyone even though he couldn't die, Faye gave him a reason to continue AND temper his rage. Regardless of the good moments he had.. he still has anger management issues. Lol

    @QuickWhitStudio 6 лет назад +405

    I can sort of understand one aspect of Baldur's anger. Watch all of Freya and Baldur's interactions (here and the memories in Hel) and you'll notice something. Freya never apologizes to him. She makes excuses and justifications for what she did but never says "I'm sorry." Hearing that may not have reduced Baldur's desire to kill her but her finally taking ownership of her actions might've meant something, even for a moment.

    • @stephensporman8206
      @stephensporman8206 6 лет назад +45

      yeah it wouldve been nice of her to apologize but she had a very specific reason to keep baldur alive forever and it wasnt just because he was her son. Ragnarok begins with the death of baldur. Notice how he says "snow" right before he dies. thats the catalyst for the end of the 9 realms. Just like the giant freya was controlling, when he died he let a dying breath that froze everything. Baldur let out a dying breath that will bring about the apocalypse. Kratos even says it to a pyschotic Atreus when he kills Magni that there are consequences to killing a god. I mean, kratos kind of had to kill baldur but it was a bad move. shows that he hasnt quite learned from his past mistakes. The next game is gonna be crazy and itll be interesting to see all of these story lines play out.

      She’s a reflection of Kratos and how he treated his son. He never apologized, made excuses, never explained himself, and never took responsibility for his mistakes. Seeing Baldur in his blood lust, and Freya make her flawed decisions allowed Kratos to examine himself objectively and “end the cycle.”

  • @jaysundae
    @jaysundae 6 лет назад +452

    Good and bad are not so simple, there is no black and white. Baldur has been through a lot, he's not just a straight up bad guy. If you feel nothing for hundreds of years, can you imagine what you would become? He's done bad things in the game, but it's not so simple. Look at Kratos, he was pretty much the same. Even Joel did some horrible things in TLOU. Perspective is very important, if we were playing this game from Baldur's perspective, we wouldn't call him a horrible person. Don't get me wrong though, he's definitely not decent by any means. But I love storytelling like this, this is brilliant writing, I love when characters are not your typical good and bad characters in games, movies or shows and actually have depth to them, shows how mature as a writer you are, because that's how real life is. Everyone may seem good to you IRL, but there's no telling what all those people actually think and what all those people would do in harsh conditions.

    • @Marzz
      @Marzz  6 лет назад +101

      Oh yes, I totally agree but, I think in the end Kratos gave him the choice to forgive/let go and Baldur continued on the path of vengence and maybe in Kratos' eyes, knowing where that leads someone and how many people will be harmed wasn't worth letting Baldur live. A lot of depth in this storytelling. It's fantastic.

  • @Al_Gore_Rhythm
    @Al_Gore_Rhythm 6 лет назад +145

    The way I see Baldur is that he is what Atreus could have potentially became, and Freya is the parent (just like Kratos) that has made this mistake and it has cost her. She tries to protect her son without any regard to the consequences and it backfires horribly. Kratos also tries to protect his son, (although it's from the emotional and mental trauma he associates with godhood) by hiding the truth from him, as opposed to Freya trying to protect Baldur physically because of a prophecy foretelling his needless death. Kratos basically ALMOST makes the same mistake Freya makes, and Atreus ALMOST becomes this egotistical psychopath that doesn't care about anything, just like Baldur. In my eyes, the Freya and Baldur story is the same as Kratos and Atreus's story, just taken to its most extreme conclusion.

    Baldur's last line is so simple yet great, "snow". In the prophecies, Ragnarök(end of the world/end of the gods) starts with Baldur's death immediately followed by Fimbulwinter, a time where snow falls for three straight years. His line can be construed as him finally feeling snow on his skin after a hundred years and also realizing the prophecy is fulfilling itself and all his fellow gods are going to die soon.

      If it makes a difference, Kratos would probably agree with you. He's clearly guilty and ashamed over his past in this game, which is why he hides it from Atreus for so long. Part of his journey is learning that he has a second chance to do something good by doing right by his son, but it takes Kratos a long time to accept that the only way to keep Atreus from following his former dark path is to tell him everything.

    This is one of the rare occasions where I agree with at least part of Kratos' usual attitude. An excess of empathy is very dangerous and allowing yourself to feel sorry for people who wrong you will leave you vulnerable. If you must shed tears, shed them for Baldur's victims. Reach out a hand to people like him and they'll show you what a bleeding heart really is.
    A cold heart loves nobody, but a soft heart loves too freely. Both are equally dangerous.

All the shit they went through together, the ups and downs, the lessons they learned from each other, culminating in this fight. They were going full Goku/Gohan on Baldur. Especially loved the part where they were alternating hits on Baldur, and Atreus put in that roundhouse kick. Oof. So good.

      I don't think he's just a bad guy. I actually say in my pinned thread I feel bad for him because his life has been destroyed by Freya's blindness in thinking she was protecting him. I felt bad for him in the episode where we were in Helheim also. He's been through something that totally scarred him but, in the end, he punched Atreus and fought everything in his path to get his revenge on Freya (even innocents) which I think would not have sufficed him in the end. Kratos gave him the choice to let it go and Baldur chose not to.

    • @kato093

      Marz thats what kratos did. Except he succeeded and in doing so destroyed the world. Now by killing baldur he brought ragnarok destroying yet another world.
      Cant wait to see baldur lead ragnarok
      .oooohhh... Holy hel!! I just realized... Why odin trapped the valkyries and made hel go to hell. In norse mythology Ragnarok starts with baldr's death and with baldr having dreams of his death. So he goes to odin and frigg and tell them about the dreams. So odin goes to hel and sees that everything was ready for baldr's arrival so frigg calls upon her everything of the world like plants, animals, rocks, elements, making them vow that nothing will ever hurt baldr. But the blind hodor gets tricked by loki into shooting mistletoe arrows and kills baldur. Mistletoe which was deemed safe and not a danger by frigg (frigg in the game is freya.unclear but a possibility in norse mythology). Could it be that odin in gow knew that baldr was going to die and to postpone ragnarok he trapped the valkyries so when baldr died he would never reach the city of hel so cant start ragnarok? But... Baldr died fighting... He must have went to valhalla not hel. Maybe thats why ragnarok began a hundred years early before atreus has a chance to grow up and cause ragnarok the right way? Omg... So many questions.. Might be overthinking. (Read everything as mimir since i wrote it with his way of speaking in my mind lol).

      Actually it does. The Prose Edda at any rate, which is what the game is mostly based on. The Prose Edda is basically the "real" Norse Myth. It basically states the mythos we got are romanticized versions of what really happened. That the Aesir are actually the true enemy and that the gods are nothing but monsters.

    • @philipho188
      @philipho188 6 лет назад +4

      Well 3 points, one, if Baldur ended up as a bad guy, Kratos was 1 million times worst. In this game Kratos got to redeem himself somewhat, but Baldur will never have this chance. Two, myths have various versions but the most famous one is that his death was an accident not purposely killed like this. The game developers force the narrative to fit Kratos in. Finally, yes Odin could be behind all this. So, the *real* bad guy is Odin... Just things to think about...

    • @danieldickson8591
      @danieldickson8591 6 лет назад +3

      Mythic Baldur was almost the antithesis of the one appearing here. In fact many of the attributes of Tyr in this game were Baldur's in the old poems. But the change really suited the tragedy the devs wanted Baldur to embody.
      But in myth almost all the Norse gods were reprehensible by modern standards. They were violent, ruthless, and frequently deceitful and treacherous. What mattered in their stories was that they won, by whatever means necessary. Yet they were doomed to ultimate failure.

And so, Loki one day decides to get up to mischief, as he does in mythology, and got Baldr killed. Kind of like Boy did on accident :)

    Yeah, that last battle with Baldur is so epic. I've seen it multiple times, but it still gives me goosebumps.

    You keep saying Baldur is a horrible person but he’s basically Kratos from the original trilogy. Also, did he really deserve to die? Remember what Kratos said to Atreus earlier, there are always consequences to killing a God.

      Kratos was actually worse. Baldur at least had a reason for his insanity which wasn't his fault. Kratos was just a selfish moron lol.

      TitanGT66 Not likely, Kratos was tricked by Ares and it cost him his family, the gods took his brother and told that he is dead where the reality was that he was tortured for decades untill Kratos saves him but shortly die, also Zeus, his father, put a curse on his mother where she would transform into a monster if she reveal his name, which she did and Kratos was forced to kill her, and also Zeus killed him where it was the final straw that put him in a war against Zeus. In conclusion, the gods, especially Zeus and Ares, are the main reason that drove Kratos to wage a war against them and ended the greek pantheon.

      Yet Kratos was the one who called on Ares in the first place. Nobody tricked or forced him into doing that, his own bloodthirsty ambition is what cost him everything. He even admits that in this game "I made a deal with a god that cost me my soul." I called Kratos selfish because that's what he was. Innocent people were killed just because he cared more about his vengeance than anything else, another thing he admits. The gods were dicks, but Kratos is also reason the gods became full-on evil since Kratos was the one that opened Pandora's box to fight Ares, which released the evils that infected the gods. He finally learned that he couldn't just blame them for everything and that he was to blame as well.

      TitanGT66 In one of the cut scenes it says clearly that he was destined to kill his father Zeus, as was Zeus destined to survive and kill his own father: Kronos. It was a prophecy, it was the same with Baldur he was destined to die that's why Freya was obsessed with the idea of protecting him from all harm.

    I can sympathize with Baldur. I had my prefrontal cortex turned off for most of my life because of my parents. This completely closed the door for me for experiencing human contact and relationships.

    Jeez your reactions to the events are so wholesome and jarring. I felt sad that you felt sad that a game character was hurt.

    When Kratos said "The Cycle ends here" You can see Baldurs face going from anger to fear and realization. Awesome.

    This really was the perfect way to end the struggle between Kratos and Baldur. And I absolutely love the story-writing for Baldur's character, how he's exactly the way Kratos used to be, which is why Kratos knows the necessity of ending the cycle of violence. He knows Baldur wouldn't just stop at Freya, and that anger of his would wash over the world itself, as his own once did. I actually kind of want to use the God of War games in the classroom, to show how beautifully a character's growth and development can be presented, and how themes repeat themselves over time and even across cultural mythologies.
