Odin is the antagonist of God of War Ragnarok, the 2022 sequel in which Atreus discovers he is Loki, the Norse god of mischief. Throughout the story Odin presents himself as a seeker of knowledge while steering events toward his own goals, so a line in which he tells Loki that he did it carries a double meaning for players. Clips of Odin's dialogue circulated among fans after release, especially in edits about betrayal, manipulation and villain reveals. The line endures because it works without game context, sounding like praise while hinting the speaker was in control all along.
