I love that you guys went through the effort of inventing the time machine and finding actual vikings for this video.
The Drapunir Spear is modeled after a Spartan Spear, not a Norse/Viking Spear. Kratos was originally a Spartan and even comments that a spear is the first weapon a Spartan learns to wield. It was created using his blood as a base, so it would take a design more familiar to him as it's the only weapon he uses that was designed specifically
I appreciate that you got Magni & Modi to do this video.
Could Kratos wielding a Spear two-handed be a reference to his Greek origin?
It’s funny how they describe Thor as a biker type when one of the biggest roles his actor has done is playing a biker.
I see why they'd have a pet peeve about the spear wielding but you have to take into mind that Kratos is originally spartan, from Greece. He most likely handles it like he was trained to in his time as a spartan general. Which is why the spear has some Greek elements, like the red banner tied to the spear or the Greek symbol ^ (more or less) the symbol of a spartan
One problem I have with the game is the black washing of the characters. It is just getting ridiculous.
I would totally watch these two talk more about Norse mythology, or tell some tales from the gods.
I'm not familiar with the sagas and I'm sure it's apropriating a lot, but I'm a fan of how the game depicted the gods at least in terms of look/personality and particularly Asgard. Most wear bright colors with lots of detail and not just black biker leather with fur cloaks like lots of viking media, and live in what looks like a somewhat realistic scandinavian town instead of a big golden castle.
A Skald telling the story of Loki his own way is the perfect description of the GOW Norse Saga. Great video.
Love the way this video's been done! So much more interesting than one expert breaking the whole thing down.
Thank you GS, Jacob and Askur for this awesome video, I enjoyed the previous video they were apart of and this one was just as good, I love hearing these guys talk Norse mythology ❤
Imagine if they reacted to Record of Ragnarok 💀
In the opening, that's not the "F" rune, that's the "A" rune in Elder Futhark, or possibly short-twig Younger Futhark. The reason is that the name of the "a" rune is "As", meaning "god".
Is it just me or, does anyone else want these two to tell and break down the sagas?
Bring these two back for the Ragnarok DLC for Tyr and his weapons, and maybe someone else for the other mythologies Tyr shows off with his weapons.
Excellent content!
I would like to point out that Kratos is Greek originally, so things like how he fights with a spear would be more akin to Greek fighting styles. now, I don't know if the game is accurate to that either, but if it's not accurate to norse fighting styles, that might just be because it's supposed to be a greek style
just from the intro i heard him say the f rune which is fehu but the actual rune on the eye patch is the a rune ansuz. fehu looks similar but the stave goes past the two branches a little. and the two branches are angled the opposite way. fehu means wealth, cattle, new beginning, adunbance, and luck while ansuz means god or ancestor. it also represents odin so thats why hes wearing it. lol maybe he needs to do his homework. but he had the info about fehu right just the actual rune itself wrong
the spear is more of a Soartan desing and also he battles in a spartan way, because it is HIS, not borrowed like The axe.
