    So the Giants transfered their souls into the marbles and left their soulless bodies all over the realm to trick the Aesir and any unwelcome visitors that they were dead.

      Yeah but for all intent and purposes. They are dead. They can't come out of there. They don't technically exist. But wasn't that the point of kratos and loki I hear you ask? Nope. Just killed the whole game off for no reason.

    What I’ve never understood about the giants is that Atreus tells Kratos they are not actually giant except for the snake but the wolfs are also giant, there is a giant frost giant and when they get to jotinheim (I probably spelled that wrong) all the dead corpses are giant! Why are some giants big and others are not it makes no sense.

      No, what they mean is not all giants are always giant. Thamuar could his shape, there are shapeshifting and wolf giants in the murals we see. Faye probably had this power too.

    • @AerYdmyg
      @AerYdmyg Před rokem +19

      they’re called giants bc Jotunn translates to “Devourer, glutton, dangerous” the Norse word isn’t going to be related to the French word “Géant” which comes from the Greek word “Gigante” which mean the same: powerful, mighty, strong. The jotunn to the Norse and the Titans to the Greek are the same pantheon: huge primordial elemental creatures.
      Everyone thinks the Jotnar have the same powers and they’re wrong, only a few of them can change size not all of them are 30ft tall like Skrymir and not all can change their form like Thiazi.

    • @Bread_Bug
      @Bread_Bug Před rokem +18

      What Kratos means is that not every giant is actually big, though some are. The giants are just a race, like the elves, dwarves or Aesir. Some of them are normal human size like Atreus, Angrboda and Faye. Others are large like Gryla. Some are massive like the giant corpses we see. It simply varies from giant to giant. They can all be different sizes. It’s just how their race is. The name “giant” makes this confusing so it’s better to just call them Jotnar

      What's weird is that when the animals had their souls whispered out, they just turned to hald dead zombies...but the giants apparently just died? Unless they starved to death I guess? But then some of them died with tools, which suggests they were consciously doing stuff when they died.

    Now that is fascinating, only one of the soul's components is bound to the marble, which is probably direction. Direction probably recognizes the marble as a "living body" and then pulls the other 3 pieces towards it by default.

    We see the world serpent go back in time and he's a giant

      That would make kratos and even Zeus part Giants, since they are related to Kronos, but that doesn't seem the case. Kratos doesn't seem to have any bond with the Giants, unlike Atreus. Also the titans don't seem as wise as the Giants, except maybe Gaia and their intentions aren't that pure

    A few things ill say without spouling too much.
    I'm sadly disappointed that they didn't tie all the arcs well. What happened to the giants??? They're all in marbles??
    I thought they might come out of hiding...once Gods grow good. I.e. kratos and loki... but nothing.
    And who blew the horn?? We don't know. They really did rush the storyline. It really should have been 3 games. And the amount of loading screens is ridiculous. Like every area you walk through the tunnels like 5 times if not more.
    The game is good apart from these 2 issues. The fighting arc was ok, nothing special
