God Of War Witch Of The Woods

Okay, gamers, let's talk. Specifically, about the God of War game. And even more specifically, about the Witch of the Woods. Yeah, that one.

Is She Really All That?

Don't get me wrong. She's powerful. She's wise. She throws a mean poison blast. But is she as universally beloved as everyone claims? I have my doubts.

Maybe it's just me. But sometimes, I feel like the Witch gets a free pass. Why? Because she's a strong female character? I'm all for strong female characters. But strength shouldn't equal immunity to criticism.

An Unpopular Opinion?

Prepare yourselves, because here it comes. I'm not entirely convinced she's always on the level. There, I said it! Burn me at the stake, God of War fans.

Think about it. She's incredibly secretive. She knows way more than she lets on. And her motives? Questionable at best, murky at worst. Don't tell me I'm the only one who finds that a little sus.

Like, okay, helping Kratos and Atreus is great. But is she doing it out of the goodness of her heart? Or does she have some hidden agenda? The gears in my head are always grinding.

More Complicated Than She Lets On

I know, I know. She’s got a tragic backstory. Lost her son. Has a complicated relationship with Baldur. We all have our issues. But that doesn’t automatically make someone trustworthy.

And that voice! So soothing. So calming. It's almost too perfect, isn't it? Like she's trying a little too hard to put you at ease. Makes me wonder what she is hiding.

Plus, let's be real. She lives in a giant turtle house. Is that not slightly weird? I mean, come on. I love a good eccentric, but that's on another level.

Let's Talk About Freya

Oh, wait. Spoiler alert for anyone who somehow missed the big reveal. The Witch of the Woods is actually Freya. Freya, the Vanir goddess. That adds another layer of complexity, doesn't it?

Suddenly, her knowledge of magic, her connection to the Norse world, and her overall competence make a whole lot more sense. But it doesn’t necessarily make her more likeable.

Knowing she's a god actually makes me more suspicious. Gods are notorious for being manipulative and self-serving. Just look at, well, almost every god in mythology!

In Conclusion...

Look, I'm not saying the Witch of the Woods is evil. Maybe "misunderstood" is a better word. Or perhaps "morally ambiguous". I just think we shouldn't blindly accept her as a saint.

She's a fascinating character, no doubt. And her presence definitely enriches the God of War experience. But I’m keeping my eye on her. Always.

So, next time you're playing, pay close attention to her dialogue. Watch her actions. And ask yourself: is she really who she seems to be? You might be surprised by what you find. Or maybe you will just find me insane. I'll accept either.

Feel free to disagree with me. I welcome the debate! Just... be gentle. I’m sensitive, okay? And maybe share this 'unpopular' opinion around.
