Okay okay okay but if it’s true that Ingrid was made by Freyr, then why the hell does his Sheith for Ingrid have the fucking Celtic Triskelion on its medallion????
And the fact that Ingrid— a literal sword of light—seems to look nothing like any sword that we've seen (not even freya's sword) be similar to the “sword of light” of Celtic mythology????
As well as the fact that throughout Ragnarok, there were so many references to Celtic/Irish/Scottish/British Isle specific mythology and stories:
Kelpies
mentions of Arthurian Legend of The Lady of the Lake, Nimue
The Scottish play which shall not be named (Shakespeare)
mentions of Oberon and Tatiannia
Mimir being opening called “Puck” from a Mid-Summers Nights Dream by The Norns (Shakespeare)
Mimir’s story about the Laird (The scottish name for a lord) and The Girl
The fact that the British isles is geographically closer to Scandinavia than any other mythological location
the fact that the biggest mystery as to what happened to the remaining giants of Jotunheim is still ongoing and Atreus is now on his quest to find what happened to them and where did they go
And the fact that the Ragnarok ending heavily hinted at the fact that Atreus could have his own spin-off game in the future
Also the fact that the formorians of celtic mythology are often linked to being giants/vikings that came from scandinavia (AKA home of Norse Mythology)
Santa Monica Studios: The math is not mathing, the mythology is not mythology-ing.

Destroyer dynamics
You know how everyone says that if Thor was alive after Ragnarok, he and Kratos would have a bff type of dynamic? I disagree.
I think their dynamic would be a father-son dynamic.
Think about it. Everyone in the game wants you to believe that Thor is like Young Kratos, but when we see him ourselves, he's simply nowhere near Young Kratos in any regard. Strength , speed, violence, intellect, feats and atrocities. Thor does it for the love of the fight. Kratos did it for cruelty. Every fantasy Thor could ever have Kratos has lived.
Thor is hurt, lost and confused. He needs someone to guide him. To be kind to him and nurture him the same way Atreus was nurtured. Kratos would be perfect for that.
Odin pretended to be nice but he hurt and humiliated Thor constantly and treated him as a tool. That was Thor's childhood, and when Kratos with his tough exterior helps him, Thor expects to be treated the same way. He is surprised that Kratos is nice to him. Doesn't tell him to kill things. says to him things like "What do you think, Thor?" or "What do you want to do, Thor? or "How did it feel to do X, Thor?".
When he sees Kratos's past, he comes to respect Kratos in a way he never respected his father.Kratos is his idol. He is trying to help him and he is nicer to him than anyone ever was since his mother was alive.
Plus Loki and Thor are said to be brothers in the myths.
100% father-son dynamic. No question.
