According to Twitter users, black people never existed in Norse mythology, and there were no black Vikings — a claim that actual historians dispute. As a result, netizens were disgusted by Angelboda shown by Santa Monica Studio in God of War: Twilight of the Gods, and many replies on Twitter were to the developers of the game, and the developers closed comments due to the disgust and popular science remarks.
Matt sophos, the screenwriter and plot director of "God of War: Twilight of the Gods", "matched the line" with netizens on Twitter, and some netizens said that Matt sophos is a double-standard screenwriter, and also questioned whether he would add some more Egyptian white gods to the "God of War" game.
Matt Sophos replied, "Are there also blue dwarfs in Norse mythology?" Was Loki the son of a Greek demigod? Did you know that Jotunheim wasn't true? Could they be anyone or anything, some even giant snakes? But I get it. You think Yemengard is fine just because his scales are white, right? Well, good luck. Hopefully, you'll find a game that better suits your feelings. ”
At present, "God of War: Twilight of the Gods" will land on the ps4 and ps5 platforms in 2022, and the specific release time has not yet been announced.
