@@thenerdlord8894 Ummmm, Kratos, Mimir and Atreus tried to find a weakness for Baldur. Yes, they may have found it in an intense situation but that doesn't mean they didn't work for it. As for Heimdall, how can you call that plot device? Kratos beat Heimdall fair and square through his fighter instinct.
The actor for Heimdall is A+. All the gestures, facial expressions, and voice. Extremely well done. And the scene direction when you first meet. Hanging off the edge of a giant wall clinging to his arm with somber background music. Intense.
When Heimadall says "you move your mouth and I see cities burning" he glances down at the city Asgard, foreshadowing Atreus' involvement in the whole realm being destroyed in the near future. Good writing.
Man I really really liked Heimdall, his designs, personality and voice was all so entertaining and cool. It would be cool to see more of him in some way.
His first hello is just so cute to me. I really liked his character even though he was a pain he only really wanted to protect his home and stay Odin’s favorite. His foresight was his greatest power and greatest hubris
That moment where Thor says “look into my eyes… you tell me…” and the music starts to build up is so intense. Man this game is so good. Im glad I haven’t finished it yet.
Not only that but he got one of his limbs removed like Hermes had his removed. The difference is Kratos blew off an arm instead of cutting off his legs.
I just now realized something, Odin put Atreus outside the wall on purpose JUST so he could meet Heimdall, who is in fact a grade A prick So later on when he shows up, he acts all nice and defends Atreus. In return it gains him more trust with the boy. Gotta hand it to the guy he’s insane but he’s _deadly_ smart
Look at the way Heim looks at Loki when he tries to drop him and Atreus grabs a hold of him. It’s like he’s disgusted the man values his life, some serious entitlement 😭
It seems likely. If so, it would also show how he uses Heimdall (and pretty much the rest of his family) as tools. I was also pretty upset when he later said that if Brok dies, they are "square" for Heimdall. Brok, technically, is a stranger to Odin and yet it was all the same to him when comparing his life to that of his own son and any other family member he had.
9:40 Damn I saw this scene like 5 times and only now noticed that Atreus arrow sprayed dirt on Heimdall face. He like tecnically hit him! That why he started to turn so annoyed to him so Thor had to stop him. And I at first thought it was inconsistent...
is it dirt? i saw it too before. i thought it was blood and he caught the arrow a bit too early, scraping his palm. i thought it showed me that heimdall can only see what will happen but it will not mean crap if he cannot avoid it
i think heimdall is right. He rode atreus mind and he was the only one who knew atreus true intentions. Not killing odin but manipulating almost everyone to start ragnarök.

@@lashen4129 You're nitpicking and being stupid. Harry fought the Basalisk and Voldemort. These two moments trump any moments of him being scared. That and he's a kid.
People are quick to label Heimdall as a puffed up prick (which don't get me wrong, he is), but from his first interactions with Atreus, you can see he's right. At first, Atreus wasn't there to sight see or to legitimately help Odin, he just wanted an escape. He knew Odin would receive him, so he never set the words of his father aside. And Heimdall literally *sees* that. He knows Atreus is a problem to Asgard more than anything, and he tries to warn Odin, but Odin is so arrogant and so sure he will succeed that he pays it no mind. Heimdall is probably aware of everything that's gonna happen, he's just trying to stop it in advance. But Odin, in his ways, doesn't listen to him. And pays the price. Heimdall is the singlemost important ally Odin has. If Heimdall was around during the war of Ragnarok, Odin would probably have won.
Bruh, you clearly didn’t payed attention to Odin’s Perspective. He knew that Atreus was going to backstab him at some point before he would do the same to him. As you can see, of course Heimdall did warned him about Atreus, but he pretended to not care to show Atreus that he is “good” because we all know that he was DISGUISED as Tyr. I mean, why else did he invite him in the beginning of the game and send out his ravens to spy on him, Kratos and Mimir? Not to mention that he locked himself away for them to arrive and break “Tyr” out, until the Einherjar came so that he could infiltrate Sindri’s house to listen to their plans. Odins not that arrogant, he’s actually pretty smart. He was just using Atreus for his advantage, Just as he used Durlin to set them up to fool us thinking that he “helped” Kratos and Atreus to locate Tyr. Plus, when he met Kratos and Mimir again, he sought to gather him “truce,” but Mimir doesn’t believe him as much Kratos does. Heimdall on the other hand is the one who acted ignorant, cocky and narcissistic. He always has his pride and ego to get in his way. If he hadn’t invade Vanaheim to capture half of Freyr’s Crew, Then he would’ve lived. He should’ve stayed up on top of the walls to keep watch. That’s what got him killed when he met Kratos after he acquired the Draupnir. Compared to Loki, he went fully entitled more than him after Kratos hitted him and had to regenerate his arm during his “prime.” If anything, he lacks his fighting skills (if you look closely to his move sets and see what they are.) Hence why it was his fault for no longer focusing on his foresight. Besides, Asgard would’ve lost and been destroyed and Heimdall would die either way, no matter if Kratos no longer holds back and hears that Heimdall successfully killed his son. It was all according to the prophecy.
@@user-ki2ez3vp1p What you wrote was the most insanely idiotic thing I’ve ever read. At no point in your rambling, incoherent reply was there anything even close to a rational thought. Everybody is dumber for having read it. I award you one downvote, and may god have mercy on your soul.

Hmm debatable on Odin winning if Heimdall were alive during Ragnarok. After all, Kratos still had the draupnir spear which is his weakness. Also, for Ragnarok to start, someone would have to sound Gjallarhorn and if for whatever reason, Kratos took it but spared Heimdall, Odin would probably banish or kill him for his incompetence. He killed Thor for saying 'no' to him once. But, on him having a bit of a point when encountering a stranger in a suspicious situation, that's true. I mean, he read Atreus's intentions and knew that Odin usually invites his guests via his ravens. Plus, with Baldur's death and Ragnarok close, he was right to be wary of an outsider climbing up the wall. (I mean, it's his job to keep danger away). Still, his approach was unnecessarily cruel. He could have taken Atreus captive until he figured it out with Odin. Buuut, as others have pointed out in the comments, Atreus coming across Heimdall and his cruelty was part of Odin's plan to make himself seem like a "chill and reasonable guy".
I’m having some weird Mandela effect where I could of sworn he said “your balls probably dropped while you were climbing the wall” instead of “your voice”
I wish they gave Heimdall a healthbar here to trick players into thinking he could be beaten right there. But Atreus beating a god like Heimdall, even without his foresight was probably out of the question lol.
I LOVE this meeting XD for the record I haven't beaten the game so Idk what happens to him. I just like his design and personality. Plus their back and forth here is pretty funny 🤣 also those eyes 😏 no homo lol
Idk but i’ve been fixated on the line when Heimdall says “Gulltoppr! Who loves me the most? Whoooooo loves me the most,” for no reason. I genuinely think that they got the right actor for this part.
Kratos tried to spare Heimdall but seeing how he would not back down. He had to kill him and plus that would ruin the entire story, of the game and it isn’t that type of game.
He’s an Odin dickrider. And is a cowardly bully, he backed away from Thor because he knew Thor was stronger but lied that he was not afraid of him behind his back and actually panicked and got frightened when Kratos pinned him to the wall, bullied Atreus and Thrud simply because they could not lay a hand on him. Then again gotta give him credit for not backing away from a fight with Kratos and dying in defiance.
So I have a theory that because of Kratos' originals outside of the Nine Realms that screws up Heimdall's ability to predict things. With Kratos it means that he gets nothing and must rely upon skill alone to fight him (notice he can't get a read on Kartos in their fight, stating that he can't figure out what Kratos is thinking). That's also why Draupnir defeats him: it is made of Kratos' blood so he can't predict it. For Atreus though because he is part giant it causes a different reaction: it projects Heimdall's own inner self back at him. Listen to how he describes Atreus when he first meets him: every word could be used to describe Hemidall himself. "You are too eager to prove yourself" Heimdall does all he can to show Odin that he is serving Asgard. Quick to claim tasks are easy or he understands things that others do not. "Due to being overshadowed by a father you can never live up to" No matter what he does for Asgard Heimdall will always be hated while Odin is loved despite how he mistreats people. "You are Disrespectful, entitled, and impulsive" Heimdall is rude to everyone, thinks he can do what he wants without question, and acts without thinking "You are here to help yourself. To manipulate and lie to get what you want" Despite his claims that he is working for 'The good of Asgard' he disobeys his father multiple times (attacking Atreus, abandoning him and Thrud in Hel, going to attack Kratos. He also tries to anger people to get them to lash out so he can claim they were the aggressors) "What a twisted little soul you have" Heimdall to a T, who happily torments his own niece. "I watch your mouth move and I see cities burn" Heimdall declaring that he would kill Atreus is what led to his very death which, in turn, led to Ragnarok and Asgard's fall. Heimdall isn't reading Arteus' mind... he's seeing his own and doesn't realize it. Hell, him even claiming that Atreus will betray the all father? Heimdall JUST DID THAT by trying to kill Atreus KNOWING that is the last thing Odin wants.
It's even more interesting if you consider Heimdall is a dark reflection of Atreus' aspect as Champion of the Jotnar: -Both seek to protect their homes and take pride on their titles and want to protect their fathers from harm. Both are also entitled, disrespectful and reckless, wanting to live up to the expectations of an overshadowing father figure. -Atreus eventually let's go of that mentality and is a curious, compassionate and kind man, Heimdall makes no attempt to change his ways and is an arrogant, cruel and selfish asshole. In a way, Heimdall can be seen as representing the kind of person Atreus would have grown up to be if Kratos didn't snap him out of his "I am a God, I can do whatever I want" phase.
I recently revisited GOWR and I've been thinking about the relationship between Heimdall and his father. Heimdall, in his blind loyalty, seeks to protect his father from any potential threat. He shows a misguided but genuine admiration for Odin and his approval is extremely important to Hiemdall. Then there's Odin who knows how loyal Heimdall is, yet even his death elicited no emotional response from him. He said that "if Brok dies, we are square for Heimdall". The death of Brok, who is a stranger to him, would satisfy the loss of his own very loyal son. There is no parental bereavement, guilt, or vengeance the way Freya and Kratos have expressed. Essentially, Heimdall's loyalty truly was for nothing. Side note, I think it is impossible that Heimdall would not be able to see how little he meant to Odin, which leads me to believe Odin may have used magic to alter how his thoughts show and trick Heimdall's sight (might be related to the tattoo on his head idk). After all, he even concealed Huginn and Muninn's thoughts from Atreus.
Heimdall is perfect to hate. Everything he says cuts deeply because he knows all of your triggers Anything that annoys you he knows and will do his best to annoy you with it. Led to him being killed for pushing Kratos too far
Just got to this part in the game and was wondering is there a reason his eyes are purple and teeth are gold? All the other aesir gods have blue eyes so I wanted to know what’s the deal with this guy
His appearance are actually very close to the real norse myth. it stated Heimdall has gold teeth and ability to seeing everything across the realms. His purple eyes are side effect of bifrost energy that pulsing in his body. the only thing that different in here is his personality and he did not wearing Helmet, also Gulltoppr are supposed to be a golden horse not some wild beast like creature
Scott Porter. He’s been in a lot of stuff. He’s in Ginny and Georgia as the mayor and Georgia's bf, he’s also Nightwing in Arkham Knight and Damian Wayne in Injustice.
It's a running gag at this point. They literally gave him an apple JUST so we immediately labeled him as an asshole.

In a way, Heimdall can be seen as representing the kind of person Atreus would have grown up to be if Kratos didn't snap him out of his "I am a God, I can do whatever I want" phase.

Okay, now it just occurred to me that he’s basically Big Jack Horner from Puss in Boots!
Same vibe as Hermes
I recently revisited GOWR and I've been thinking about the relationship between Heimdall and his father.
Heimdall, in his blind loyalty, seeks to protect his father from any potential threat. He shows a misguided but genuine admiration for Odin and his approval is extremely important to Hiemdall.
Then there's Odin who knows how loyal Heimdall is, yet even his death elicited no emotional response from him.
He said that "if Brok dies, we are square for Heimdall". The death of Brok, who is a stranger to him, would satisfy the loss of his own very loyal son.
There is no parental bereavement, guilt, or vengeance the way Freya and Kratos have expressed.
Essentially, Heimdall's loyalty truly was for nothing.
Side note, I think it is impossible that Heimdall would not be able to see how little he meant to Odin, which leads me to believe Odin may have used magic to alter how his thoughts show and trick Heimdall's sight (might be related to the tattoo on his head idk). After all, he even concealed Huginn and Muninn's thoughts from Atreus.
@3:54 This is exactly what I just said about Atreus. After he just went on that tantrum previously. Disrespectful little sh** 🤣
The truth is, Heimdall and Atreus are far more similar they would like to admit and they see in each other the parts they don't like about themselves.
Why’d did bro get scared of a apple hitting his hand tho lol
Everything is tense when you're hundreds of feet in the air
Heimdall was a great character. They shouldn't of killed him off
Hahaha true but I still wanted him death xD
@@captaindrake6278 he can read minds bro he could have been useful narrative use if they made more games but it is what it is.
He’s to op to be real future sight against anyone other than Kratos is death
He was destined to die anyway I’m pretty sure, and he was deserving of it. Huge prick and tried to kill Loki
Eh
8:51 Arrows made contact! Hit landed! Heimdall ain't shit.
Heimdall can read minds so you think it is possible he knew about Iron Wood when he read Atreus' mind?
He can read their intent not their whole mind
Definitely giving me hermes vibes
Heimdall is perfect to hate. Everything he says cuts deeply because he knows all of your triggers
Anything that annoys you he knows and will do his best to annoy you with it. Led to him being killed for pushing Kratos too far

D=loki
B=heimdall
My lawyers have advised me not to finish this joke=thor

Just got to this part in the game and was wondering is there a reason his eyes are purple and teeth are gold? All the other aesir gods have blue eyes so I wanted to know what’s the deal with this guy
It comes from his power to look into a person's soul.
His appearance are actually very close to the real norse myth. it stated Heimdall has gold teeth and ability to seeing everything across the realms. His purple eyes are side effect of bifrost energy that pulsing in his body. the only thing that different in here is his personality and he did not wearing Helmet, also Gulltoppr are supposed to be a golden horse not some wild beast like creature
Thor’s mind: 1. I’m bi 2. Sif gives me a hall pass every century 3. Recently she cut me off 4. I’m fast as the wind
Heimdall sounds like an actor i know. I can't remember the name for the life of me though. It's bugging me so fkn much
Scott Porter. He’s been in a lot of stuff. He’s in Ginny and Georgia as the mayor and Georgia's bf, he’s also Nightwing in Arkham Knight and Damian Wayne in Injustice.
Why he didn't kill Atreus?(
A lot of spoilers in comment 😢
Yep, don’t look at the comments of a video on an incredibly new game

Marvel heimdall is way better
Cap.
Not even close
Yes the black mythologically incorrect fake Heimdall is better right? Hah! You must be a wokester...
Nobody asked, marvel fanboy
That slash on Thors abdomen is from the first first with Kratos isn't it
Yup
They can't heal like kratos does so it stayed
@@axelthefirefist2797 1. Yes they can, and 2. Have you not seen the dozens of gruesome scars all over kratos’s body?
@@axelthefirefist2797 He couldn’t heal from the cut on his belly due to the leviathan being imbued with Eitr (the world serpent’s venom)
