Norse Mythology Expert goes over God of War

Yeah Jackson Crawford is legit. His translation of Poetic Edda is one of the best currently available.
The Wanderer's Havamal and The Saga of the Volsungs are some excellent reading too. Check these out, especially the Poetic Edda if any of you have a remote interested in the Norse myths and want to know more.

Yeah I watched this last night and have now binged a few Jackson Crawford video's. That guy seems to be a super cool cowboy!
I don't understand what point you are trying to make with this.
What was the logical leap you took to come from understanding the accuracy of the original Nordic and Scandinavian myths from a known authority who teaches the subject to the reaction of a murderer?
I love how he didn't realize he was watching a game and thought he was watching a movie when he first saw God of War.
I guess we don't really notice the progression as much as those who haven't been paying attention in a while...
We've come amazingly far and this video was great! :)

The last games my girlfriend played were the Pokemon games on the Game Boy. She was mindblown when I showed her Uncharted 4. 😂
Sorry to pile on but wouldn't the equivalent really be "crime scene investigators react to murder scenes in games"
That's a poor joke. But there are genuinely videos about "bank robber reacts to heists in games" from Gameology if you're interested.
As for the video in the OP, thanks for bringing it up. I'll definitely want to watch it.
Maybe edit out your joke (it really didn't land, indeed) because people are gonna keep replying and derailing this to hell and back. Thanks
I loved this video, I wish it was 3 times as long. Not really because I want to know more about Norse mythology but more that I would love to know the minutiae of the thought processes and iterations that went on during the game's creation, how they weaved their own intentions and requirements with what existed. Thanks!

Good video, tbh I thought Ragnarok was gonna be the end of the trilogy so I'm really curious how this is gonna go.
idk why anyone keeps replying to the murder post when I'm now more interested in this since it exists. link pls
This video could have easily been 10x longer and I'd watch every second. God of War goes so far to reinterpret so many myths through Mimir's stories and Tyr's tapestries, I'd love to hear this guy's interpretations of all of them.
I've tried to read two different translations of the Poetic Edda and fell off of it. Is Crawford's a bit more readable? (I have no idea who did the translations I have tried to read previously).
I saw almost every video from his channel after finishing god of war 2018. It is really good. Before god of war, I read Neil Gayman's North Mythology (very good too). And way before that, I read American Gods, from the same author. All good reads about north mythology and mythology in general.

I'd say yeah, Crawford's take is easier to follow, easy to discern the meaning of the stories or advise, and not bogged down by antiquated styling. Some of the other translations use the Olde English "Thee" and "Thou" and there is none of that in his version.
Of course the Ursula Dronke volumes are probably the most definitive but they are absurdly expensive were of limited print. It's unfortunate she passed away before she could release the 4th Volume.

Heya.
Here's a link to the previous videos in the series:
Thanks! The way some big youtube channel's homepages are displayed makes it really hard to search some specific stuff.
Great video. very insightful. The original god of war games got me into learning more about Greek Mythology and now the new one is getting me into Norse mythology.
Hearing that bifrost is actually bif rost....That is going to bug the hell out of me every time I hear bi frost know.
The tattoos always bugged me.
The tattoos always bugged me.
I laughed at least.
Is it vague enough to allow for a Greek God of War being the father of Loki?
