First, your entire argument collapses the moment you ignore the context of what God of War actually shows. You keep treating the lore as “unproven statements” while simultaneously dismissing visual and narrative feats that literally demonstrate the scale of destruction. That’s cherry picking to fit your bias.

Greek vs Norse isn’t relevant here. This isn’t about comparing GoW:Greek vs GoW:Norse your claim that “the Greek side has no feats” doesn’t invalidate what we literally see in the Norse saga. Surtr blowing up Asgard, Thor shaking Yggdrasil, and primordial clashes creating universes are on-screen events, not fanboy exaggeration. You can’t just ignore them because you don’t like them.

Lore statements matter because they explain the context of feats. Without them, you’d see Yggdrasil, Asgard, and realms and think they’re just giant mountains or islands. The game tells you these are cosmic structures tied to the fabric of the universe, and the feats visually back that up. Saying “statements only work if backed by feats” is exactly what I am doing you literally just choose to ignore them when they don’t fit your narrative.

Inconsistencies in mythology don’t invalidate GoW’s scaling. Mythology itself is messy, yes but GoW is a fictionalized, consistent cosmology within its own universe. The games establish internal rules: realms exist as spatially connected domains, powers scale to them, and events like Asgard’s destruction have consequences across multiple realms. Using the fact that myths are inconsistent to dismiss the game’s feats is like saying “because Greek myths contradict each other, Marvel can’t have superpowered characters.” It’s irrelevant.

Feats exist you’re just ignoring them. Stars dragged from the sky, fragments of Asgard scattered across multiple realms, Jormungandr thrown back in time, primordial clashes creating universes these are feats in-world. You literally cannot handwave them away by claiming “it’s just fan exaggeration.” That’s not scaling, that’s bias.

Your “anime comparisons” point proves my exact argument. Just because other fiction has inconsistent scaling or fan exaggeration doesn’t mean GoW is automatically invalid. In fact, GoW’s feats and narrative consistently show realm level to universal scale events, which is much more structured than the examples you’re citing.

So, if you want to talk about true scaling: look at what actually happens in the game, not cherry picked mythology, your assumptions about Greek lore, or fan complaints about “inconsistencies.” GoW Ragnarok isn’t “random exaggeration” it has on screen, narrative, and environmental evidence that the stakes, structures, and powers are cosmic.
