    Being from a Nordic country, I could never get into the Thor movies due to how ridiculous everything about the fake lore was.

    Which wouldn’t be a problem except they’re the only ones with the always brilliant Kat Dennings in them 😭

      I solved that by simply thinking of it like a generic SciFi/Fantasy movie that coincidentally had some overlapping names with Nordic mythology. Still not great movies, especially after they just made everything into a comedy.

        I tried to do that too. I failed to, though.

        Still not great movies

        True. Chris Hemsworth has been good in exactly two movies, (as a hilarious himbo in Ghost Busters and as James Hunt in Rush) and Kat Dennings doesn’t get enough screentime to improve the movies beyond “bad to mediocre” quality.

        I tried getting into Ragnarok but Atreus was so annoying compared to the first and the Angrboda sections I found so incredibly boring it put me off of completing the game.

          The puzzles are like some of the worst shit in GoW to me. However, everyone says you can’t remove it because it’s SO apart of the game. I just really enjoyed their take on Nordic mythology.

              lol … yeah the first three were pure action to me … I mean, unless you count putting that woman to hold the wheel to keep the gate open which then kills her a puzzle too …

              But also: Why does Odin sound like he’s from New York?

              lol I mean there’s no arguing that, but I fucking love that actor … but I definitely can’t counter what you said 🤣
