God of War: Ragnarök casts Odin as a mob boss in a deft blend of The Last of Us and Skyrim
God of War: Ragnarök brings Kratos’ norse mythology era to a close, but not before spending a good 40-50 hours being one of the best Sony third-person action games to date: something that moves the genre forward in terms of artistry and tech wizardry, but also in how its characters are portrayed.
As a drama, it runs the entire tonal gamut from prestige HBO drama to Wrestlemania, being stuffed with some of the best action spectacle that the series has ever offered (which is something of an achievement, given that the entire series kicks off with Kratos leaping across a shipwrecked fleet to kill a hydra), but also plenty of quiet, reflective moments which allow the pacing to breathe.
It also provides a wonderfully unique take on the gods themselves. In this portrayal, Odin comes across like the head of a crime family, something akin to Tony Soprano or Vito Corleone: powerful, yet afraid. Jealously guarding his status, willing to make huge sacrifices to protect his wealth, but ultimately ill-equipped to resist the changing times. It stands in stark contrast to the heroic, benevolent alien version of the character we have seen in things like Marvel’s MCU. But, dare I say it, it’s probably much closer to the source material: the old gods were hard to please.
Spider-Man: Across The Spider-Verse Casts Daniel Kaluuya As Spider-Punk
Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse accomplished the impossible task of introducing us to not one but six Spider-Men, including, somehow, Spider-Ham. We’re excited to see who will appear in the sequel, Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse, and today we got one answer; Daniel Kaluuya (Nope, Black Panther) will join the cast as Spider-Punk, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
Details on the story itself are light–Miles Morales (Shameik Moore) will once again team up with Spider-Gwen (Hailee Steinfeld) to fight a new villain. Kaluuya will voice Hobart “Hobie” Brown, better known as Spider-Punk. Spider-Punk first appeared in The Amazing Spider-Man in January 2015. In the comics, Spider-Punk is an unhoused teen given powers via a spider irradiated by Norman Osborn’s toxic waste dumping, who then leads the people of New York against Osborn.
Spider-Punk will be familiar to more than just comic fans, as his is one of many variant suits available in Insomniac’s 2018 game. The Spider-Punk suit comes with the Rock Out special ability, which sends enemies flying with a soundwave from his spider-themed star-body guitar.
