Did Brok Know Tyr Was Odin?
Brok never fully trusted the Aesir Gods, and his suspicions were heightened when Tyr took over cooking duties from him, ultimately leading to the revelation that Tyr was not who he seemed to be, but rather Odin in disguise. The truth about Tyr’s identity was cleverly hidden by the game developers, with a subtle hint in the subtitles being the only indication that Tyr was actually Odin, as the accent on the ‘Y‘ in Tyr’s name was missing when Odin was speaking in disguise.
