I would get off that train before it jumps the tracks onto a rainbow bridge and you end up in Niflheim in the middle of a battle with Ice Giants without even so much as a spear or a parka on you.
You’d get off right before it gets good? Hard disagree.
Counter point Odin would definitely have some of the more bat shit insane designs humanity has come up with since the viking age, like the War Wolf, Ratte, or the ever glorious Bob Semple tank.
If you die (in the) fighting, Odin can count on meeting you in Valhalla!
odin go home, you're drunk again scaring the mortals
If this man approaches you and tells you that you are worthy, you fucking listen to him.
It must be Wednesday.
I laughed out loud in the office, and nobody understood the joke. I need a better employer.

I too, would love a spear and especially a crow.
Would you give your right eye for ’em?
My guy, I'd give my left testicle just for the crow.
AND ill throw in my right eye!
Spears are cheap. Crows are free (but presumably take a LOT of work).
Seriously, a spearhead is like 30 bucks.

anything is free if you are dedicated enough
is that Huginn or Muninn?
Was his eye poked out by the spear
or pecked out by the crow?
I’m too scared to ask him.
He clearly placed it in Mimisbrunnr
I bet no one fucks with this guy.
Now that is what you call embracing your age
... and lookin like Robert Deniro to boot
This is AI right? The spear isn't straight. It curves in with the seat.
Could be carved from a branch. Would be in character.
Could be rolling shutter artifact from the vibrations
