Quick clarification about the last message I sent about why I like Angrboda. I totally agree she is a badass in her own way, the non-traditional way as you said. What I was referring to about the first fanfics about her is that she was depicted as this stone cold axe-wielding warrior who barely showed any emotion besides... seriousness? Basically no emotions.
I kinda understood why she was written like that with the little info about her in the myths and the story of the GoW games, but she was basically like a female Kratos... Not to mention she was supposed to be the same age as Atreus, a teenager. It's very unrealistic. But hey, it's fanfiction, everyone has their own preferences in characters. But this "traditional" badass type of character was never my cup of tea.
The Angrboda we got in GoW ragnarok is the type of badass I personally enjoy the most. The type of person that despite going through a lot of pain and problems, they still manage to remain kind and gentle instead of becoming bitter and resentful. It's a kind of strenght that I personally find very admiring and more important than physical strenght. Sadly, this kind of strenght is very underrated, sometimes even mistaked for weakness.
Anyway, that's why we must appreciate Angrboda! She's the type of female character that is desperately needed but modern media seems to avoid for some reason...😭😭😭
Anon i know what you meant 😭 i think jrpg’s are more likely to do stuff like that than western ones! And i definitely agree that everyone has different interpretations, it is a little odd to have her act in that “kratos”-like way esp what we have now 😭

Ok ok imagine this: During Atreus' travels - Angrboða is casually spending her time painting in Ironwood, when suddenly a realm tear appears, Atreus jumps out and gives her a quick smooch. And before she can even turn around he's gone.
Now Angie doesn't get scared because he does this quite regularly, but the first time he did it he ended up with paint in his face. She then spend the next hour apologizing "Loki I didn't know it was youuu 😫"
LMFAOOOOOO THIS IS SO CUUTTTTEEEE 😭😭
