Odins persepcive is a curious one.
Some guy he never met kills one of his two sons and his two grandsons.
Baldurs death means that Ragnarök is approaching.
He thinks in Ragnarök every single realm will be destroyed.
He wants to prevent Ragnarök from happening at all cost.
He goes to Kratos and offers peace as long as they don't search for Tyr, because Tyr is the key figure in destroying all the realms.
Kratos, who positioned himself to be Odins enemy, searches for Tyr.
So Odin masks himself as Tyr to keep an eye on his enemies.
His most loyal servant, Heimdall, is killed by Kratos.
He blows his cover like an idiot and flees without the mask.
His enemies arrive in Asgard. And they specifically brought the beast that will destroy it.
Then they kill him and destroy Asgard.
So yeah, Odin did kill Brok, which was a bad move and an idiotic one. And he killed Thor. Very evil. A hundred years ago he was also very evil to Freya (even though it stays unclear what he gained from antagonising Vanaheim). He tortured Mimir and held him in prison. But so did Mimir with this whale thingy.
But was that really enough to justify the destruction of a whole realm? How many civilians died because of that? And since the game makes a huge point in fostering empathy for animals and their suffering (the two jellyfish for example), I have to ask: How many animals died because of Ragnarök? The more I think about it, the more I come to the conclusion that in a series of dumb decisions by Kratos and Atreus, trying to get to Ragnarök was the most idiotic one.
