I was laughing at this meme and I was going to comment something about how Kratos got a heartwarming ending in Ragnarok. But then I realized something...
The last prophesy Mural Kratos sees in the end of the game depicts him as a beloved God, probably because he got rid of Odin and this whole game it became canon for Kratos to want to do the side quests to help the Nine realms to heal from all of the shit Odin made the realms suffer
And that got me thinking, wasn't there something about how after Ragnarok a new God (Revived Baldur) would rise to fill the role of the Main God in the poems about Ragnarok irl? I remember hearing something like that in a video about Norse myths but I am not sure
What if the ending of the game is simbolizing that? Kratos becoming the beloved god of the nine realms after the previous evil Gods died at Ragnarok?
And if that tale was meant to be a way to put the Christian God into the ending of Norse mythology, wouldn't that make Kratos the Christian God?????
Maybe I am just tired, I have been fixing my code for a revision tomorrow and I feel like I want to sleep for a whole winter, maybe I am just overthinking stuff because my sleepy ass wants to go to bed lmao

I've only read around chapter 100~ish in ORV, so I don't fully know about the details of constellations and myths and whatnot, but it's got me thinking about a particular Māori myth.

Person B: The what? How the hell are we supposed to defeat the sun?
Person A: ...

Person C: Does anyone have some rope?

I will never understand how Odysseus has all the braincells while also having none of them at the same exact time. He is an amazing war general and is insanely smart but has the attention span of a rat fuelled by the need to cause chaos simply because he is bored. He can't listen to one thing while getting distracted by the thing he was specifically told not to touch.
