Make him react to Mimir's stories in the first game, 'cause there's a lot of lore to it.
they gotta do this
They definitely gotta do this
This.....
This is a great idea!
Already done.
Love Jackson and his content so much. And the fact that he is so committed to the norse times that his microphone is straight from the newest archaeological site.
😂😂😂
damn he got the Jurassic Special
LMAO ☠️
What does that say about the quality of the mic then if he's using next to brand new airpods lmao
LMAOO
Glad to see Jackson getting more recognition through these videos.
lol
Same. He was a resident scholar at my school for a bit, wanted to take a class but he isn’t doing them right now 😢
this has the same vibes as that linguist reacting to fictional languages. really interesting to see the amount of thought put into the games we love. big ups to santa monica and this dude for pointing the small details out.
He is a linguist
This dude is one of the foremost researcher’s on old Norse life. He has an incredible collection of videos on RUclips covering all aspects of Norse lore and lifestyle. He is not himself a Norse Heathen but nonetheless he is respected and cited by majority of modern Heathens.
He also has a wonderful piece he did called the “Cowboy Havamal” wherein he takes the first third of the “Havamal (Council of Odin The One-Eyes)” and wrote it as though it was all told by your classic Wild West movie type rancher.
@@Neo2266. Probably a very cunning linguist.
@@snuurferalangur4357 well guess I’m gonna look that up now!!!
He's so well educated and adorable. So wholesome in his scriptural studies.
Tbh Baldur also didn’t look all too menacing when we first meet him, Kratos towers over him, And we all know how that went down, Don’t judge a book by its cover
In the case of Thor it was his promotion image that. Just didn’t give him justice. Now that we see him thou. That’s a strongman build
@@kevind3974 Judging something by its promotional image is even worse than judging a book by its cover lol.
@@kevind3974 he looks the same in game and in the image to me. Don't really see a difference besides being in motion in the trailer
@@latima123ify
Probably size. He’s way more intimidating when he is tucking huge instead of man-sized
Baldur was not even slightly menacing for a single second in the entire game...
Y’all should inform the guy more on the lore of the game, because he is just going over basic information we already know, as well as theorizing stuff based on Norse lore that has already happened in-game. Example, the mistletoe killing baldr
It'd make the videos so much more interesting. The experts have no context of the creative liberties the devs have taken. Feels like It'd make for much better content if they could give insights on those alterations to the mythology
The mistletoe thing was not explained outright in the game, though, for some reason. It was just explained away as "mysterious old magic or something or other", even after they teased a proper explanation, where the original story is really cool and evoked my imagination as a youngster.
@@ericforsyth a myth explaining the age of legal consent in regards to contracts
Jackson is great glad you got him for this
He didn't say anything bad for the course and changes in the mythology Santa Monica chose,he was respectful and told his opinion,very nice👍
If only everyone acted with this much respect when people adapt fictional writing into other mediums. Looking at you, pathetic comic book fans that don't know what an adaptation is.
@@Largentina. facts, then there are people complaining about marvels *VERSION* of thor for not being like the actual mythos
@@Largentina. The pathetic comic book fans are the people that allow these things to get made, to begin with. Without their support, the characters you are bombarded with wouldn't even be adapted.
typical sensitive ps stan
If it was same as mythology, the entire game would be spoiled already for everyone and people, who dies, who survives.
Wow they really brought in Jackson Crawford.
My high school mythology class actually got the chance to talk to this guy back in 2018-2019! Super cool guy, really appreciate the dedication to Norse mythology.
That tearing the moon scene is 😮
It’s tearing the atmosphere and chasing the sun moon is still in place
Will we get a play through of the game with this guy
Yeah we all want this! Bless us Kratos Messi 🤲
Love this IGN please keep it up 🎉
My respect goes out to all people in the comments who knows who this man is
As always, much appreciate Jackson!
Yea no problem bro
The reason Tyr still has his hand is because Loki didn’t exist yet so the whole hand bitten off thing didn’t happen as Loki is the one who caused it in original myth.
Glad to see more of Jackson Crawford in here!
"Death can have me when it earns me."
~ Kratos 🐐
Always a pleasure to learn from Dr Crawford
Jackson Crawford is the man - should definitely have a regular spot on IGN.
Crawford's RUclips channel is one of my favorites on the platform
I’d watch this dude watch one of those game cutscene videos where he can just see how they’ve adapted the Norse mythology with all the mystery and see if he can put it together and see if we’ve missed anything coz the dudes kinda watching this stuff outta context of the story of the game ya know
I'm waiting for that since the trailer shows up 🔥
So in Scandinavian lore, the Mermaid as we know them today was called the Havsfru, and they share similar characteristics to the Sirens in Greek mythology.
Is this from the texts that talk about Huldra?
@@3DMasterST their are some similarities between the two, but they're not exactly the same, the Havsfru is strictly an aquatic creature, and the Huldra, also known as Skogsrå is a forest dwelling spirit who often lures men into the forest, but not much is known what happens to them after that because they never return.
The Huldra/Skogsrå has been described as having several different appearances, usually described as having a tail like that of a cow or a fox, and sometimes as having a hole in their backs, and always resembling a young beautiful woman.
But the males of the race often resemble Trolls or being Troll like.
Thank you for bringing the awesome cowboy professor back 🍻 I thank you and Jackson Crawford for a great video
I've been waiting for this!!!
Thank you for your expertise.
Love having this video reccommended to me, as I'm currently reading through Jackson Crawford's translation of the Poetic Edda.
Has it been fun to go through Jackson Crawford's translation of the Poetic Edda?
The wolf did leap into the sky to chase the sun though - it looked like he was really going for it to swallow it.
Probably the most accurate depiction of Thor we’ve seen.
And most inacurate Angrboda at the same time
@@rousrouslan4023 really damn, what did they get wrong?
@@blinkq_530 skin color
@@blinkq_530 In the game shes black.
@@akuturuka1200 lemme guess, its all "woke" just cause shes not white? 🙃
Love this videos with Jackson
Doctor Crawford is one of my favorite channels.
Game of the year, for years to come
@lost souls you mean Dark Souls 7? No thanks.
@@JauntyWhale So shallow, so lacking in nuance or essence
You people still putting validity in game awards? Lol
This was probably said about cyberpunk as well.
@@daksharora6618 maybe, but Santa Monica Studios doesn’t release buggy games
Imagine having an in game tea party with odin
the fun part is that even the "non accurate" elements from myth in these 2 gow games are litterally all just alterations coming from the fact that loki was removed from his normal role and moved to be kratos son, like it was supposed to go the same as we all know, but his arrival and encounter with faye alterated evewrything
and for the rest they eiter filled giant logic gaps or connected vague elements like freya and frig (it isn't stated anywhere they are the same, but neiter the opposite, and it beeing this way the story can have extra cool elements)
Wait. At 2:00 you said Tuesday represents Mars day....is it acc. to norse mythology or it's is generally known.
Causes in hindi Tuesday means Mangalwaar=mangal+war
Mangal means Mars and Waar means day
Love these experts videos
Pot belly thor better conveys that impulsive homicidal ferocity. And realistically muscular pot belly dudes are some of the most formidable fighters on the planet.
true but it’s still inaccurate
@@d00d22 it’s not accurate or inaccurate, because we don’t have a 100% factual accounting of Thor’s physique.
@@WillemAlarik He is described with a word that can mean both big, or strong. But he is known for eating and drinking heavily
4:25 that timing with the music tho
What song is that
5:30
"Thought it would take a more literal meaning. Not them just watching the sky."
Said literally as one of the wolf's FLIES INTO THE SKY, AND STARTS CHASING THE SUN.
I've been waiting!!!
The wolf that bites Tyr’s habd is Loki’s son. And in this version Atreus is Loki, but hasn’t yet taken on his trickster rile nor had children.
Amazing content! You should ask him react to Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice. He will be pleased and willing to elaborate great details on various things given the mythical authenticity that game has, I'm sure.
Love this guy
Yes!!! Jackson Crawford is the best!
Here in Sweden the equivalent to a mermaid would be something of the likes of a Rå, havsrå or sjörå, or even havsfru. The very famous mythological character Näcken could be argued to be one, albeit all of them are far from being described as anything close to what they've decided on for this game.
That wasn't Tyr in that clip, that was Odin posing as Tyr in order to get to the realm between realms, get close to the ones set to destroy him and to gain knowledge. You do see Tyr later though (with both hands).
Mermaid could be the sea goddess Ran
Here to represent the man, the myth, the Jackson.
Hope he doesn’t spoil the story for us. Though we know they are making changes.
They are making changes?
@@bubbles2624 they always change the story. It's different from actual events of mythology
coll takes but whats the song in the background of him talking. that beat was bumping
This guy is great, can we please get him a real camera and microphone so he can make more videos?
He has a channel
in one of mimirs stories he says he convinced odin to take his eye out
If anyone is to be consulted for Norse culture, it is Jackson Crawford!
The american? Lol
@@d00d22 Old Norse culture has been dead for centuries, so what does it matter what background a researcher has? We all have to work from the same material, American or not.
Have him do a full playthrough, or at least commentate on one.
Me looking at the thumbnail: Arthur Morgan is a norse myth expert?
Maybe this siren is Rán godess of sea. TBH so far GOW 4 got few nord mythic creatures/gods.I really hoped to see the Norns but so far no info about that
Pretty cool but there are several things that have been missed. Like, the fact that the wolves are looking at the sun disappearing, that's not true, you can actually see one jumping up and chasing it. The other will probably do the same with the moon. Or maybe the other is Fenrir, who knows
he other wolf is hati
Fenrir is the black one whose really huge from the second trailer
tyrs hand grew back in the game
Seconded to have him react to Mimir's stories.
The wolves not biting the sun and moon in the trailer doesn’t mean that won’t happen later on in the game. It was just a short clip.
Does anyone know the background music?
this man is really cool.
Yeah, he’s got a STRONGMAN body, not a bodybuilder body.
Strongmen have those types of body, because they train for strength and power, not for pure aesthetics.
Yeah and it makes sense for Thor.
After scrolling through ign app comments these comments are so kind.
Background music is awsm
Odin isn’t bald, he’s just got the Larry David.
im so hype for ragnarok to drop
anyone knows the name of the background music?
Bros pro in a myth, what a job
what timecode does he talk about thor?
Background music?
What’s this music?
Cowboy Norse Professor? Pretty badass
Kratos vs Thor = Battle of the Century 🔥❄⚡🐐
If u look close enough it looks like the wolves run after the heavenly body
Yo they got Jackson Crawford on the channel 🔥🔥🔥
Considering it is a modern addition to the Greek mythology that is now in Norse mythology... its interesting.
Is the music from the game?
song halfway through?
I'd love to see him comment on American Gods show/book... Or Gaiman's Norse mythology....
The Viking Cowboy has arrived
The whole mermaid thing is just a hint at the possibility of seeing other mythological universes.
next episode: Real Yakuza reacts to Yakuza Kiwami
please make this happen :D
Already been done they reviewed the third game
someone give him mimir quotes and lores.
Interesting! Norse deities aren’t defined by the divine spheres or dominion their labeled as. Rather their unique personalities.
Pretty much. The only connection Thor has to thunder is that his name literally meant Thunder in Proto Germanic and Mjolnir might *possibly* be a word for Lightning, but we're not sure. Other than that and the Romans seeming to associate him with Jupiter, thunder and lightning do not come up in any of the Thor myths that are preserved.
It is really a Greek idea that gods be assigned domains like that. After Alexander the Great and the Roman Empire, most Indo-European religions were Hellenized, so there is a tendency to see this as the norm.
The North was remote and relatively untouched. Gods were much more complicated here. For the Celts they were similar to Shinto, where they are described as a myriad.
It is sort of like the gods are a forest rather than individual trees. Each tree has a niche, but they are still an interdependent unit.
Best Professor ❤️❤️
Me too Jack. Me too.
Woooow dr Jackson Crawford
Ign, autocorrected to “ignore”, which is appropriate because y’all ignored the fact that the wolf does go to chase the sun in the clip as he is saying they do not. Not the first time I’ve caught ugh with blatantly wrong information and the fact checking is in their material.
They literally eat the heavenly bodies, not just chase the sun and moon which he is saying is weird.
So, when is Santa Monica hiring Mr. Crawford?
It'd be funny if Odin decided to look bald for when he meets kratos
They should have given him more context for each clip
It was before the game came out.
Wait wait wait wait!!!!
Did he just possibly give a plot point away for the game from his knowledge?
He said the mistletoe is too young to give an oath and it’s an occurrence in the mythology which means the oath can be broken.
Loki is known to have a blood oath with Odin…..
Since everything is different because of Kratos, is Atreus actually TOO young to keep the blood oath with Odin and therefore Atreus can betray Odin later in the game!?!?
Hmmm!
The wolf probably hasn’t been born yet as fenrir is the son of loki and loki rn is like 15
the ghost of sparta has arrived
Missed opportunity to invite Mimir as the expert.
Gonna pre order this game Friday with my dad. My sister, father and me are VERY EXCITED!!!
never pre order, just wait to buy
@@aesir1ases64 why not? This is not cyberpunk 2077 tho
@@alexmercer8852 people pre-ordering Cyberpunk said "this isn't Fallout 76," before realizing how wrong they were
was hoping Thor would tighten his belt.
