The Critical Drinker

[Cheeseknife]

She isn’t supposed to be human, which is the funny part.

She's a Jotunn. She shouldn't even look human. She is like a giant or a troll--large and ugly monsters.

as I pointed out in another thread, angrboda literally has a half-blue daughter (or half-black child depending what you're going with considering how folklore is usually established and vikings have been to africa). unless you wanna claim loki is the nigger in this mix, or the vikings 1000 years ago were virtue-signaling about vitiligo, there is only one possible answer here. you can look it up in the lore yourself if you don't believe me.

Utterly retarded take.

Hela he cast into Nifelheim [...] The one half of her body is livid, the other half the colour of human flesh. She may therefore easily be recognized; the more so, as she has a dreadfully stern and grim countenance.

From the Prose Edda.

From a manuscript of the Prose Edda. Hel on the bottom right, clearly with a face half blue and half white.
In Old Norse the color spectrum of black and blue are overlapping so you will see the color of the sea, ravens, corpses variously translated as black/blue/livid but this is not used to describe human skin color outside of corpses.

Kratos's wife was rather small though, wasn't she?

As far as I am aware, the primary ancient texts of Norse Mythology do not explicitly label Laufey as being a Jotunn. Whereas, her husband, Farbauti, was.

She’s a giant in other categories cause apparently she defeated Thor in combat with nothing but an underpowered axe before she met Kratos.

Just found out he has a gaming channel called Critical Gamer:

When a guy who barely knows the subject, decides to shove his nose in it because he listened to spergs like Razorfist and Mauler.

This video is great for the simple fact that it made gaming circlejerk lose their minds and try and fail to raid it

I like the critical drinker overall. But I concede that his gaming channel is very suspect. Its painfully obvious he isn't a gamer. It does feel he is just regurgitating the opinions of his fandom menance friends.

He obviously bought the equipment to play, but you just can tell he isn't a seasoned gamer. His true passion is in films and theres nothing wrong with that, but when it comes to gaming, thats when I come close to concede he is just doing it for money

If you look at the older videos on his main channel, he has quite a few on video games, including a whole retrospective on Resident Evil:

I can say from personal experience: it's entirely possible to have grown up with video games, and still suck shit at playing them.

You complain about her being black while wanting her to look black?

he'll probably stick to AAAA slop, which are basically movies (with shitty writing).

folklore is never based on real life and simply conjured up in a vacuum, so her siblings being a wolf and a serpent means loki isn't a furry?

I'm just thinking of those marginalized trolls and ogres who ain't get no representation.

Redditors continually miss the point on this shit. But that's due, in part, to circlejerk communities taking themselves way too seriously.

Avid followers of Critical Drinker, Mauler, etc. are really only in it for validation.

Loki is a shape changer, but he isn't associated with any specific kind of animal. He's turned into women, giants, horses, flies, eagles etc.
He once got pregnant from eating a heart. It is not clear if that means he also turned into a woman at that point.
If there's a furry among the gods it would be Odin himself who is strongly associated with wolves. He has two pet wolves he's trained and the warriors most closely associated with him, berserkers, are often also associated with bears and wolves.

Hey, easiest material to work with and have Mauler or Razortwat ask for opinions from.

 

[Legacy_Lolcow_Hunter]

I’m just gonna leave this here for those curiosity to ponder.

 

[Rome's rightful successor]

I like the critical drinker, I don't think he is a grifter but has become a servant of the youtube algorithm. You can really tell which videos apart from the ones he has passion for and the ones that are obviously obligations.

An Drinker isn't aiming at the same shit as Stuckmman? 'Cause, pretty sure he is. Also, honest in his opinion? That's up for debate, because how he switched gears on Fallout after Mauler told him how he should feel, how he spoke well about the Prey movie, only to turn on it during his podcast. So, saying he doesn't sacrifice anything is a huge load of bullshit. He did it many a times, just unlike Chriss, Drinker has more than enough dick whistlers to defend him.

Drinker seems stuck in 2014, from his mic quality, to the memes he uses, to his whole alcoholism schtick, his videos have this bizarre out of time quality. All these people are stagnant content wise, theres no evolution, improvement or change.

The one thing in these videos that make me disagree is how he’s phrasing Drinker as the guy “who cracked the code” and he’s gained a wide following because of it when in all honestly Drinker is surface level, yet he really seems to get far left people enraged cause he’s popular. Frankly, I’ve been better people who actually do a better job tackling what’s wrong with writing and cinema, Literature Devil comes to mind.
