God of War Ragnarok’s Odin Isn’t Zeus 2.0, and That’s a Good Thing

gamerant.com:

The God of War series has had its fair share of great enemies that players can utterly demolish while controlling The Ghost of Sparta, Kratos. None of these enemies have had the same impact on Kratos’ life as his father Zeus, who along with the other gods first sent Kratos down his path of destruction and death. After finally defeating his father, Kratos has now left Greece and resides in Midgard where a new threat has unveiled itself in the form of God of War Ragnarok’s Odin.

While Odin has been kept a secret for some time now, a recent leak may have revealed the character's appearance in the upcoming game. The God of War series has taken a step away from giving the gods “perfect” bodies riddled with abs and muscles to show the peak of the human form. Rather, with the reveal of Thor’s character, the series has gone down a more historical approach. Unlike Thor, who resembles a burly strongman, Odin’s appearance seems to be more similar to that of Baldur, which could mean that he will not possess the same level of strength as Zeus. Fans should note that these leaks have yet to be verified, so Santa Monica Studio could have something else in mind, but for the moment, the potential leaked image provides grounds for speculation.

God of War Ragnarok’s Odin leak came courtesy of a Reddit user called Dusk Golem, who revealed that Odin will not resemble the big bad of the first set of God of War games, Zeus. Odin does not have a heavy build like Thor, or a muscular build like that of the Greek Gods, instead, he seems like an old, thin man. While looks only go so far as to reveal what kind of character he will be, Odin may be a God who does not want any more fighting,
