  Thank you all for your comments and feedback! I absolutely want to play this game now (and the one before it). It was a lot of fun to see the clips I was shown, and I was really impressed with the game!<br><br>I am happy to provide references and citations for what I’m talking about here. I know what I know about Norse mythology thanks to a lot of amazing experts in the field, who have written some great books and articles that I consult regularly as I teach this material!<br><br>And if you’re at the UofA, I’ll be teaching myth again in the fall term and Vikings in the winter 😊

  Man she really needed more context than they gave here to fully understand what she was watching

  It&apos;s totally easy to miss or maybe it&apos;s just skipped in the video but Kratos is actually referred to by the murals and one of the Norns as Farbauti, or &apos;cruel striker&apos;. In the mythology Farbauti is Loki&apos;s dad, so the developers actually found a clever way to insert him into the Norse mythology as if he was always meant to be there.

  <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3jtHebjijRE&amp;t=685">11:25</a> it&apos;s not on of the apples of immortality. The director just said, he make Heimdall eat an apple when we meet him, it&apos;ll make him look more like an asshole.

  Speaking of Baldur, did you know he&apos;s blessed with invulnerability from all threats physical or magical?

  If I studied where she teaches I would not miss a single class. You can see a shine in her eyes when she recognizes something and proceeds to explain it.

  In the game &quot;Frigg&quot; was a pet name Odin used to try and keep Freya more separated from the Vanir.

  The Idunn Apples are actually in the game in the form of collectibles. They’re found on nornir chests which you need to solve a puzzle to open. They permanently increase your health bar. I don’t know if the apple that Heimdall was eating was a reference to an Idunn Apple but they are in the game.

  Nothing but respect for Doc Natalie, but man y&apos;all gotta give her some context. &nbsp;Even an expert can&apos;t give the information 100% straight when they don&apos;t have context.

  She needs to do this again but with actual context to the story and events as written by the games. We’ll get better interpretations.
