      Baldur does/did have a wife, Nanna. She is also the mother of his son and only child, Forseti, the Æsir god of Justice. He was a minor deity in most places, but his worship and Cult were very important to the Frisians.

    Kratos never went all out on Baldur.
    It was stated by Cory he would have made Baldur not recover for weeks if he went all out and the novel says he could have broken all of Baldurs bones in an instant in the rematch if he was the man he used to be.
    The first moment Kratos goes all out in the Norse games is when he breaks Thors tooth.
    Yeah maybe Baldur could have surpassed Thor over time since he was much younger, Magni is also a good candidate to surpass Thor as he does in the original myth and was stated to have been Thors successor,had he lived longer he may habe surpassed him

    Both Thor and Baldur were dealt a bad hand, but while Thor went down a route of apathy and depression, Baldur turned into a crazed violent psychopath. Whereas they tried to make Thor more sympathetic and human in Ragnarok, Baldur is practically 100% irredeemable and inhuman, and in a way, that makes him a much more serious and dangerous foe. There was a chance for Thor to change for the better if he just made the effort, while Baldur was too far gone and only saw red.

    • @godzillazfriction

      irredeemable based on what... him wanting revenge against his mother.... uhhhhh, baldur is literally the actual nice Norse God and isn't like Thor or Odin.... its the same thing with comparing kratos to Baldur... they do strike the most similarities compared to Thor but Baldur wasn't evil like Kratos and never was

      Perhaps Baldur will make a come back, since he does return after Ragnarok in the myths, and maybe, just maybe, he may have a change of heart after all that time spent in Helheim (since he technically spends all his time there in Hel's palace until Ragnarok passes)... but who knows. Then again, Baldur supposedly has a twin brother named Hodr and is the opposite of Baldur (Baldur is god of light and Hodr is blind god of darkness)

The Norse gods aren't even close to the Olympian ones in power considering that they got beaten up by a version of Kratos who has neither godhood nor the power of the box.

Why should we sympathise with someone who commits a massive cultural genocide? Oh yes cos he has daddy issues! So lame and pathetic, just one of the many dropped balls in GOW Ragnarok…
      The game IN MY OPINION gets far too much praise for its story and writing. Graphics sure, gameplay definitely, but it’s story is sub par at best and cannot hold a candle to 2018, and I pray they rectify the shit writing for whatever comes next in GOW

Like they have the ability to make you invincible or, unable to fight hacks like that would give them the win if they had time.

    I think the directors were set on making these Norse gods puny compared to their Greek counterparts. They only trying to make the drama more strong in the Norse arc and Kratos's redemtion arc. Its like they were set in mind when they were making the first 3, they were making like a demi-god becoming a god fighting a true god looks like and in Norse time they were like Gods have there own politics too. Some back room mafia deal type.

    IRL the Norse are not any joke. They are the literal embodiment of ruthlessness, brutality , calamity and war. Ofcourse the Greek people and their religion lasted verylong compared the Viking culture. With this mindset if they forward themselves to Egypt arc they need to make the Gods in them OP.
