Cool theory, i know GoW strays and takes alot of liberties with the source material but in the Norse myth, Hugin and Munin are an extension of Odin himself, Also Hugnin means thoughts while Munin means memory. Instead of a duplicate, Odin could have split his mind into 2, with his memories stored in Munin while his thoughts stored in Hugnin. It would be cool to have an amnesia but smart Odin comeback, he still has the thirst for knowledge but none of the memory of who he was and Atreus next arc is trying to redeem him and make him be better. It kinda ties with the theme of can a monsters become good person.

Not to mention his relentless drive for answers of the unknown, and pushing boundaries. A trait the giants did not possess in the slightest. The giants seemed pretty peaceful and uninterested in immortality. Odin is evil, but that doesn't make him less capable of using magics in any way as you saw he ended up being more efficient in vanir magic than Freya even. Confirmed by Mimir. I'm not saying the giants couldn't do it either btw just wouldn't, for reasons of corruption. Sorta like seior magic. Whereas Odin wouldn't worry about those consequences in the least. Odin also had experience with seior magic too which is confirmed by the green ravens/Raven keeper tasks. Plot twist Odin is really just a magician posing as a God lmao!

In Norse mythology, Baldur returns from the dead once Ragnarok is over and Fimbulwinter finally ends and gives way to Spring. I've been trying to think of where the series can go from here. It was said in an interview after GoW 2018 dropped that 5 more games were planned and mapped out. So that means at least two more mythologies will be explored if they stick to two games per mythology, although I feel like a return to Greece is in the cards, which means that's either its own game or part of a game where Kratos essentially returns to each land he's been to. I don't think the prophecy of him being worshipped as a just God is about him in any one particular land. I think it will be in all the lands that he steps foot in. So in theory, the next 3 games could each take place in their own land with the final game of this saga (perhaps the series?) taking place in each land Kratos has been in and affected, Greece included.

When Odin saw what will happen to Asgard and his death, he believed what he saw 100%, and he is not stupid to think that fighting will save himself from Ragnarok. he know that he will die so the video make sense.

If Odin was trying to save one of his Ravens then why would Odin throw it towards/at Freya and not in anither direction not towards Freya, makes no sense. If anything he would have threw the raven straight up, upwards for the best chance of escaping.

good point, to that i say kratos is right behind him, between kratos and freya, the latter is probably the better option to launch his raven towards.

Since that didn't happen and freya didn't kill raven his next best option is to free the bird and take the others down with him which is what ends up happening.

So that nobody would think he was trying to save the birds for some purpose if he dies. If they saw him desperately directing them elsewhere, it's likely they'd think they better find them after they deal with him. The ravens being used as an attack seems desperate but it takes the suspicion out completely, so he gambled on them not killing the ravens but deflecting and pressing on. That's why he was so gutted that Freya actually took the time to snap the neck of Muninn. It was basically his only "slip" if the theory is true.

But after odin releases his ravens and Munnin dies and Huggin is shot (but lives), the theme suddenly shifts to a forte variation of odin's main theme only, no wings or claw scratches. Like odin is trying to say "HEY LOOK AT ME, THE DISTRACTION! NOTHING OF IMPORTANCE BEHIND YOU! You came for me didn't you? Come at me!" He did it. He got our atention. Huggin escaped.

Also if the next game is Egyptian mythology, having a greek god, with norse gods like odin and loki, interacting with Egyptian gods is just an awesome thought in of itself

The way you described the attitude of Odin towards his sons and how he would use people for what he wanted makes it seem like Odin is like Palpatine.

They can go with two things with keeping the Raven alive, either make Atreus learn how to use that Raven to learn new magic tricks or like you said bring back Odin.

Agreed so it would be kinda weird to be arguing with himself. I think it’s no coincidence that the mythology would use ravens as they were used to send messages in ancient times. So if you apply that to how it’s used in the game, the ravens were his agents and acted like an extension of Odin’s perception rather than a copy of himself.

If Odin wanted the ravens to escape why did the ravens fly straight towards Atreus and Freya instead of high into the air?

What I hope is that Hugin and Munin together would be able to recreate Odin. But with one of them dead something will be missing. Don’t have any more precise thoughts, I just want Ragnarök to have been big enough a loss so he have to work to come back.

One thing I'll say about this theory is that many of the small details that seem insignificant that you might not even notice in the game ended up being very intentional on the creator's part either for the sake of establishing/reinforcing themes or for story elements.

Dude you've got something with this one! What a great detail that probably everyone missed!

3:06 I’d like to note that the reason Odin threw the Raven at Freya was to have one of her hands occupied so she could let go of the noose. If you took time to notice, Odin catches his breath right after he throws the raven, and his hands are in a position as if he was holding something away from his neck. The reason, I believe, is that Freya can physically control how tight the noose is, that is why she restrains Odin by stretching the rope so that the noose became tighter around his neck, choking Odin more.

Great explanation!! I fully support this theory. I thought he was way too easy to get rid of, and kind of doubted he’d be destroyed so easily. Let’s see how well this ages!

But when Atreus whispered Odin’s soul out, all 4 parts came out, and went into the orb that Sindri destroyed

that would explain everything!! It would even be linked to the conceptions of avatars, reinterpretations and other mythological conceptions of divine existence! Also alluding and referring to the fact that Odin is one-eyed included in soul. Also the return of the undead and unseen Germanic/Norse pantheons!

This makes so much sense. Regardless, it would be interesting if Odin somehow did return based on the Horcrux theory of yours. Plus, Odin is the type to always be prepared

Transferring souls seems to be more giant/Dwarven magic. And we see odins soul get whispered into the marble, and get smashed with a hammer. He's just gone.

4:44 I was thinking the exact same thing! However I still don't get why the Ravens didn't just fly up, but rather flew into their enemies' hands.

If you look at that scene you notice Atreus arrow only barely hits Huginn. Not only that but when you do the eyes of Odin quests you realize that the Ravens were under his control. Huginn could be alive and escaped simply because Odin died and his control over him was no longer there. Although maybe not because you still have to kill the other ravens for them to no longer be under that control.

If Odin is dead the why do Huggins eyes glow blue?

Odin being alive is the most "Odin" thing to do lol. I bet he transferred his soul before dying. The whole game is about defying prophecy. If Kratos and Atreus can do it, who's to say Odin can't, he is the All-father after all.

Given what we learn about Odin in GoW4 and Ragnarok, I've largely had that feeling that it was far too easy to take down Odin, in a sense. (Going on from here, I'm disregarding Santa Monica wanting to have only 2 games in the Norse Saga.) Much like what Kratos has said in Ragnarok, Odin has had literal lifetimes to prepare. So, much like a number of people who wouldn't want to die, it wouldn't be surprising if it had crossed Odin's mind, to create a fail safe, for the possibility that if the main body that we see in Ragnarok, wasn't the real, actual, Odin. If Odin can pose as Tyr, to the point where Freya doesn't think twice about the doppelganger, who is to say, that Odin didn't set up someone else to be killed in his place to act as his double. It had bugged me that Atreus sees that Huginn makes it out, but doesn't question in the slightest about the possibility of Odin having another trick up his sleeve. (ie possibly having Huginn be one of his tickets at staying alive.) This would be a great way for Odin to return, since literally nobody would have thought twice about this, since everybody believes him to be dead. Plus, if Odin can have it to where the Einherjar can come back after being beaten in battle, who's to say that it took it a few steps higher to ensure he can come back himself. Another thing that, so far, nobody would think that he would do.

Let me guess odin made sure thor had no chest protection, to stab him one day. Order 66, odin knew he was going to fight them at some point, he was prepared the whole game. He ate at the table, while thy were planning 😅

This dude deserve being in santa Monica team

The kratos spear throw makes sense since he's a spartan

This theory is actually really valid. Because as you said “why keep Huginn alive?” To add on to that why show a that he’s alive to begin with? Also it could just be a gameplay mechanic but in Gow3 Zeus was able to clone himself and they weren’t just illusions because they could physically harm Kratos. So we know it is possible to clone yourself in the God of War universe.

Spoiler 😉 Sindri has Odin in his hammer and will bring him back in some form as a prisoner. In his grief, Sindri will ask the knowledge-seeker Odin how to bring back Brok. In his trickery, he will will convince Sindri to hunt for the Loki mask as it wields that info/power and somehow end up with the after-life obsessed Egyptians.

When i was playing through i had a Theory similar to this, that Odin doesn’t just use them for traversal/spying, but he himself is a shapeshifter of sorts. Or atleast only can turn into his ravens, I mean they are literally connected to him on another level beyond just pets. So maybe he copied himself like a hive mind and he can use them as a place holder to pop a different Odin out when needed all the while giving orders to Atreus. or maybe it’s just a higher plane of consciousness type of thing and his body’s just a shell.

Ding ding ding Your a Winner, this is a spot on Nail on head theory!

Imagine if they do a Arkham knight and have odin be Athena of sorts, a spiritual presence not a physical one

Whilst this is a cool theory. I for one still like to believe in a final death of Odin. It's good to actually close a chapter of a story and not constantly reusing old villains draw it out for longer. Kratos and Loki got their closure at the end and it was well deserved. If they do something in the future, then it should be a different era, culture and a different villain

Great job bro...loved it

Hmmm interesting.... if its true they really didn't dwell on it or leave any real emphasis on it apart from at the end where we see the bird. It's definitely something they've left open. Perhaps atreus has him as a companion in the next game. Much like mimir is to kratos. He could help in battles ect ect. Then near the end the big revelation that it was a form of odin all along ... could work

I like your theory of Odin still being alive however Mimir does explain how Odin was in two places at once. For one he was never fake Tyr and Odin at the same time. Tyr would walk up later in every scene. Two Odin and fake Tyr always isolated themselves, either "all-father is in his study" or Tyr was in the broom closet. Lastly, Mimir stated, while sledding around, Odin used their sympathy as a weakness to leave Tyr alone. Great Videos by the way!

8:18 dude the sudden creepy music made me jump lol also notice huginn looking at atreus with left eye.

Ohhh thats really funny bec just from an hour ago i was watching your ragnarok theories and i really wanted a theory video to drop today And you just did it now 😅

This is interesting, and I honestly go back to the raven keep her in the eye of Oden objective where u kill the ravens - that would be an interesting if they make a patch, where you would have to face the final “known” the remenants of ODin ( as like another mini boss after GNA ) - at nifelim tree would be sick - possibly when they install- new game plus but to go back to the line where he said, “can’t be in the two places at once frigg” I thought it was because when they separated or whatever happened, he changed all the times they spoke of her ( in norse mythology ((books))after that point to frigg instead of Freya as a way to try to make the world forget about the former Valkyrie queen ( as he also banished her to Midgard or trapped her “essences “- that was wat I remember, mimir actually speaking about in the first one -GOW 2018 but I believe the ravens job is to make sure that if anything does happen to the all father, they can preserve him or resurrect him if I’m not mistaken also so that cool 😎

Great theory man, I also love when you shout out your members in the end of the video

Sounds like Voldemort and his Horcruxes

One of your best theory and good edit too. Keep it up!

I’ve been thinking about Hugin surviving a lot. It makes so little sense unless it has some importance. And yet, I can’t think of a logical reasoning. I think your theory is the closest I’ve seen to one that has a solid foundation. But… as you said, could be overthinking everything. I mean, look at all us thinking time travel would play a lot more of a part.

thats true, at this point I dont really think SMS has written in stone plan. The raven being left alive COULD be Odin in disguise IF they wanted too lol

Bro you make the best theories I swear! Knowing Santa Monica .. who knows 👀

I love that you used songbirds whistler theme from bioshock infinite, appropriate for signaling the potential of you theory

Dawg tell me why at 2:50 as soon as Odin said “I’ve always loved you” I got an ad for a wedding ring 😭

Man that sounds so cool! I am 100% sure that you are correct with that theory, because Odin deserves a bigger ark for the build up he got in the first game. Also it just hit me that the whole Brock's part soul was missing and he was still alive was to explain this very thing with Odin surviving. I wondered what was the whole purpose of Brock's story of him losing part of his soul, but this could very well be the answer.

I think he was just trying to use them as distractions

It is explained he left on of the birds at sindis House and is told when he is needed so he can get back without been seen and when odin died it probably broken the conection between them so it's finally a free bird again

I hope so. He’s such a good character and might need more if they ever make more dlc or something

MAN Thank you for saving me from missing my favorite gods, Thor and Odin. I love them so much that I regrated watching their endings, But now I believe that they are alive.

I love this but… why would the ravens fly at them if they where trying to escape?

His ravens may have part of his soul,well maybe lol the best videos as always man !
