I still don't get what really happened between them....... something about Freyr not liking Odin or whatever also why'd she marry him in the first place? This is confusing lol
@@ArcticWolf0000 she married Odin in hopes that it would end the war between the Aesir and the Vanir. As for Freyr and Freya's falling out, I think that Freyr saw Freya's marriage to Odin as a betrayel, making him say "those awful last words" to her. When Odin betrayed the truce and he didn't come to save her, Freya was hurt as well, creating a rift between them.
@@ArcticWolf0000 It was in the desperation to avoid more and more deaths due to the war, altough it was silly to think that the conflicts between the Aesir and Vanir would end, the Aesir were far too violent and too proud
Fantasy Dwarves in a nutshell. Gruff, taciturn, and stubborn....but once you earn their trust and friendship you couldn't possibly ask for more loyal or stalwart allies. A great example of this would be Bruenor Battlehammer from the Drizzt novels. He's initially stubborn and close-minded about Drizzt, but once Bruenor finally realizes that Drizzt truly doesn't mean anyone any harm, Bruenor becomes such close friends with Drizzt that he'd happily see him marry his adopted daughter Catti-brie (thus causing Drizzt to become his son-in-law), and Bruenor would willingly lay down his life for Drizzt in a heartbeat (and he also very quickly becomes furious whenever Drizzt is a victim of prejudice, to the point that Bruenor is willing to get into a fight to defend Drizzt's honor and character), even with Bruenor being a Dwarf *KING* of all things. Drizzt even comes to find Bruenor's stubbornness and bluster to be amusing, while also having great respect for Bruenor's prowess as a warrior, with Drizzt remarking more than once that Bruenor is "as solid as the stone he mines".
It's why everyone loves him. Doesn't take shit from anyone, cares nothing for decorum (even when speaking to literal gods), speaks his mind, and is able to cut through the noise to see who a person truly is. He has a keen understanding of people and serves as a grounding influence on those around him.
Not a lot of people catch this but kratos sympathizes with freyr because freyr is to kratos what freya is to Deimos. Freya was imprisoned and hoped that her brother would come save him similar to how Deimos held on to the hope that his big brother would come to save him from hell. But kratos didn’t know he was alive just like Freyr and eventually Deimos lost hope which poisoned his mind against Kratos. This is what led to him to try to convince freya to talk to her brother
Kratos actually mentions this to Freya during this very conversation while the two are en route to find and destroy the branches binding Freya to Midgard. He tries to tell Kratos how much he just wanted to love Deimos despite everything that had happened between them, but this just upsets Freya even more to the point that she snaps at Kratos and tells him to just shut up and fight.
I think when Freyr mentions his regret that his selfishness caused him to hurt the one he cared for most, I could see in Freya's face the recognition that that was what she did to Baldur.
These voice actors are P H E N O M E N A L They put so much effort and emotion into this that it almost seems as if all of this is real. Hat's off to them.
I feel like the main reason Freyr hasn't stopped the resistance against Asgard is the guilt he felt for his falling out with Freya. Maybe it was his way of atonement, his method of honoring her memory when he thought she was dead.
I remember first seeing Brett Dalton play Grant Ward in Agents of SHIELD over 10 years ago. It’s so good to see his portrayal of Freyr, such a fantastic job
It's more complex than that. When you marry to broker a peace a bunch of things become verboten. Could the Vanir win a war against the Aesir? Because that's what it would take.
They knew Brok would be Missed the most. He was so genuine and care free, brutally honest. And smarter than anyone else too see how "Tyr" was being suspicious. Mimir even agreed, he was blind to Odins disguise. After spending decades as his advisor
You gotta love Brok's blend of blunt and tact. He tells it like he sees it. And while you may not like how he puts it, you can still respect it. I wish my blunt brother-in-law had at least half of his tact.
That's Judge's normal voice. Sometimes he appears to forget to strain himself to death trying to deepen his voice to appear more manly for Kratos, and it ironically ends up being his best work every time he just talks normally. His voice is deep enough. When he starts trying to make it so much deeper, it just removes all emotion and makes it cringe. You can hear him struggling when he says "When the moment calls for calm" to Thor for example. It just takes away from the scene. Nobody talks like that.
@@TheStraightestWhitest Not to mention that he sounded downright robotic in that "Return my son, or you may meet the god I once was." He was literally burping all the way through. A complete 180 from the much louder, more expressive TC Carson Kratos. When Judge does scream, it's downright hilarious. This is why I think Ryan Hurst did such a good job at Thor, he naturally has an intimidating voice and didn't need to put in much effort.
0:50 With how Brok's hunches are correct and his "scrote" relates to said hunches, you could probably harvest his "taint" as a component for a legendary divining amulet capable of telling you if any given hunch you get is right or wrong. Brok would very likely aprove of this, and find it hilarious.
Ya know, for someone with no direction, Brok seems to always know exactly where he's going. It's a stretch but I think this might imply he still has thst part of his soul
Well to be honest old fashioned viking garb shared a lot of similarities with other old cultures around the world. Lots of furs, braided hair, war paints and feathers most humans seems to share those things.
Different between asiar and vaniar god's is too much, like act god's in Asgard and vanaheim, like Freya with her brother and Odin with Thor, different is like love and sacrifice
I get the couldn't dedicate much time to the Vanir (outside Freya herself), but it feels like a larger proportion of interactions with Freyr are telling, not showing.
They were dealing with Ragnarok, the Twilight of the Gods. Plus, given that there's stuff like Atreus being Loki they of course have to rush some things.
@@Mr.BednaR on that, I agree. Plus, another issue could be the design of the Norse divinities; from the gods and goddess looking too messy to the point of passing too much as humans (personally, how is it that the actress of Freya looks more beautiful than the 3d rendering), to Asgard not being as grand as how they were described in the Norse Sagas.
Apparently Barlog and a few others didn't feel like spending another four to five years on another game so they rushed shit and made what was intended to be a trilogy a two game series. Sad.

This is so well acted. The inflection in Freyr's voice when he says "abandon you?" and you can hear he's about to crack just got me. Phenomenal

'Member they're not just VA's. They did the mocap, so all the gestures, body language, facial expressions, are all authentic to the lines.
Forreal. Between the vocal performances and body language, they legit felt like siblings.
Freyr and Sindri are one of the most humours and charismatic characters I have ever seen
And now sindri is not himself now 😢
@@Dx_Hearted and so isn't Freyr sad
He look like a fool. Behave like one too.
This aged well
The reason why GOWR failed to take the GOTY Trophy because they killed BROK, THOR and FREYR when they have so much potential in the future.
Love how the people around them are not sure if they want to stay or leave XD
YES EXATCLY
And then there’s Brok
2:16 "A touching story that was."
"Bite me."
"Ya wish."
'I don't recall asking you to come along...'
'S'CAUSE YA DIDN'T.'
Perfect response.
10:00 Freya's like: "Ruin a moment much, Brok?"
I feel like the main reason Freyr hasn't stopped the resistance against Asgard is the guilt he felt for his falling out with Freya. Maybe it was his way of atonement, his method of honoring her memory when he thought she was dead.

Forreal. The man's a FANTASTIC actor
Oh! That's why my hackles went up when I heard him lol
I feel like he’s gotta go into VA more, he’s perfect for that role and compared to mk1 Megan Fox he did outstanding
Hes also Mike in Until Dawn! I know I'm late lol
I like how you can hear the real concern in Kratos voice when he sees Brok get pulled away, even if he just said “dwarf”
Freyas story is so heartbreaking she’s been through so much her and Kratos can relate to all the pain and suffering I think that’s why she forgave him
There is a lot of similarities between them
She deserves worse. What she did to Baldur is downright unacceptable.
@@juanjoyaborja.3054 my brother in christ, did you not paid any attention to the game at all?
She never forgave Kratos, she just recognizes he isn’t an enemy.
It's funny how most of Freyr partisans aren't Vanir. I guess the Jotuns weren't the only ones to be slaughtered.
Birgir and Brok giving them space while everybody else is gathering around in a circle to stare at them having a moment. Heck, why?! 😂
some people enjoy drama, some people dislike drama
They don't want to be a part of it and they respect them by giving them space.
Brok is low key wise AF.
7:32
A stupid question answered with a serious answer. Freya is not wrong, when it comes to siblings having their backs. This really hits me hard. 😢
Stupid question? The man was set on FIRE!
It's more complex than that. When you marry to broker a peace a bunch of things become verboten. Could the Vanir win a war against the Aesir? Because that's what it would take.
Not to mention the whole "i thought you were dead" part.
It’s funny how Kratos is the most stoic an emotionally closed yet besides Sindri he likes Brok more than anyone else does
Remember when they couldn't figure out how the get hair right in video games? Yeah, that time has passed. Holy shit.
brok out here spittin facts

Man god of war expresses evey emotion anger revenge hatred sadness selfishness depression happiness wholesome
Anyone ever watch the end of this scene in-game and see Brok and Lunda teleport toward the workshop after he says, "Not YOU." to Freyr?
It happens to me 😂
brok, the smartest dwarf once lived..
Brother miss his sister for so long that love miss is call family Never forget about you never will
You gotta love Brok's blend of blunt and tact. He tells it like he sees it. And while you may not like how he puts it, you can still respect it. I wish my blunt brother-in-law had at least half of his tact.
Katara and Sokka from the Avatar: The Last Airbender in a nutshell. 😅
That jazzy intro gets me every time. It's like "go ahead, get comfy...you KNOW you're about to watch 3 hours of GoW clips wishing you could play it."
My man

He was holding in a godly burp
Sounded more like Brok. I think the subs are incorrect here?

“You think this is a game to me?!”
“Eyeah!”
Just seeing the other characters sneakily in the back ground trying not to look like they are eavesdropping makes me laugh.
This game really does have some touching moments 😃😎.

He gives me johnny cage vibes
His face looks like Connor's dad from assassin's Creed 3
Freyr became my favorite character of his archetype. Any examples, I’m curious
"Not yoouu." F***in' Brok just being the best. XD
Interesting that Freyr still wears Ingrid’s scabbard.
He most likely hoped to get his sword back one day
I'm calling it now... Freyr will be in the next MK
He already does both look and play like Fujin in MK11 tho, lol
The dialogue of this game is amazing
0:19 He has a point.
Freyr looks cool
the way kratos say, "Ready?", i kinda found it really awkward, like being out of his character 😂
Why can’t there be more people like Brok & Birgir? Giving relatives some space to deal with their family troubles.
2:25 Is it me, or did Kratos sound extremely different?
Different between asiar and vaniar god's is too much, like act god's in Asgard and vanaheim, like Freya with her brother and Odin with Thor, different is like love and sacrifice
