Kratos Tells To Mimir How Heimdall Is Weaker Than Other Gods He Killed - God Of War: Ragnarök

I love how confident Kratos is about facing Heimdall. He's just like, "If he can see the future, he can see the ass whooping he's about to get."

I love how Kratos now always tries to find the most peaceful way to resolve issues but the second Atreus is at risk he will not hesitate to reenact what he did to Olympus

I saw somewhere that Kratos hit Heimdall the first time in 3 attempts because he was baiting his foresight. The first flurry was slow, wide-arcing punches to gauge the extent of his foresight. The second was faster, tighter punches to see if Heimdall actually had skill in using his foresight or if he was too dependent on it. Once Kratos made contact ("These are new bracers!"), he knew the extent of Heimdall's combat experience: very little. The third flurry was fast, compact, hard, and it landed, and that actually stunned Heimdall and made him doubt his ability

Heimdall is a good example of wasted talent He didn't push himself past his limits and stayed comfy and safe near odin That's why they all lost Thor was the only dangerous one because he was constantly on his toes and had so much experience

The Heimdall fight is summed up pretty well by the Mike Tyson quote “Everyone has a plan until they get punched in the mouth.” Heimdall knew exactly what was coming and what he should do and then Kratos rocked his shit anyways.

Lmao I loved the one part where Mimir is talking about Heimdall's foresight and how he can see Kratos' intentions and Kratos just responds with "I INTEND TO KILL HIM" so straightforward and endearing Kratos is 😂

Here's the thing: Heimdall's abilities in the right hands, with the proper training and knowledge, can set the bases for the development of one of the most powerful deities in the GOW universe. Meanwhile, Heimdall as an Individual is one of the most useless and brainless opponents Kratos has ever fought. No strategy, no adaptability, no cunning, not even a sense of self preservation to fight another day. His whole thing is "I cAn seE tHE FUtuUUure!"

I love how every time someone is like “Kratos you can’t kill them they’re too strong” he just goes “ok and?”

Kratos spends 2 entire games holding on with his policy to not be murderous again but when it comes to possible threats on his son he just begins gathering weapons and goes “no I will kill him and this has to be done.”. Truly the dad of the year.

Damn why this dialogue "If Heimdall must die for Atreus to live, then Heimdall must die" really goes same as "if all of olympus will deny me my vengeance then all of olympus will die"

Heimdall is basically just a more annoying version of Hermes from Kratos' point of view. The only difference is that Kratos actually has a good reason to commit deicide this time!

The thing is Heimdall was tough because of his foresight and being able to see your moves before you make them. But once you take that away he's actually quite weak since he seemingly never had to actually try to learn to fight properly. He makes so many easy mistakes. It's funny he made fun of Atreus when I'm pretty sure that if he didn't have his foresight then Atreus would've beaten him.

When Kratos mentioned the part about how when prophecies were revealed to people in his homeland, along with how despite their efforts to avoid them, they ended up happening anyway, it instantly reminded me of a quote from Master Oogway from Kung Fu Panda. In the scene he says, "One often meets his destiny on the road he takes to avoid it," and I suppose, in Freya and Kratos' case, truer words are yet to be spoken.

Kratos had the Norns' message figured out. If he had avoided Heimdall or chosen a peaceful approach, Atreus would have died like it was intended. Part of Fate is not knowing how it will turn out; so you follow the path u think was right (In Kratos' case, it is protecting his son. It doesn't always turn out the way he wanted, but it's his nature.) As for Heimdall or Odin, they have the knowledge of the future. By trying to change/avoid it, they are making it come true. Seeing the future isn't a good thing after all.

For those who are wondering how Kratos managed to keep hitting Heimdall: Remember when Thor said he and Kratos are destroyers? That's why, both of them fought for so long that their skills were honed to the point they do it as if it's an instinct, destroying is their instinct and nature. Heimdall can read minds, not instinct. It's why he said "What's in that empty mind" when Kratos had him pinned against the wall, Kratos wasn't thinking of anything, his instincts did the work and that's why Heimdall lost, same to Thor since it's clear he also fears him (AKA) a destroyer.

What Kratos said here is actually true Zeus wanted to get rid of the marked son who was destined to destroy Olympus, in the attempt to do so ( Imprisioning Deimos) he actually fulfilled the prophecy, there fore Kratos was formed and brought the very thing Zeus attempted to avoid

Kratos vs Heimdall is the literal personification of "hard work beats talent if talent doesn't work hard"

"I am not locked into prophecy with heimdall , he is locked into it with me" - probably kratos

One of the great thing about the actual fight with Heimdall is that, even when you first use the spear, the first couple times, he isn't hurt from them, but the first time you actually hurt him is when you end up going in, throwing hits, predict his defense, and then HIT him with just your bare hands. Makes you realize that Kratos could possibly take on Heimdall with bare hands if he really got angry.

Heimdall had alot of self pride and arrogance similar to that of the Greeks version of hermes who was the same (well all of the Greek gods were the same but in speech wise Hermes and heimdall acted very much the same)
