So it might have been explained already but in the GoW 4, Mimir translates the world serpent for them. And he says Atreus reminds him of someone. Later Mimir tells a story that during ragnorok Thor hits the serpent so hard he hits the tree which cracks and sends the serpent back in time. So he exists but hasn't been born yet in the time Kratos shows up.

Norse, like most languages, didn’t change much throughout time until the expansions and attempts of colonization. Sadly for them, shortly after that the nordic religion would get forgotten and replaced by christianity, which shows that this game would take place before. Maybe kratos pulls a greek pantheon on them and makes the nordic pantheon get forgotten which leaves humans and other races alone?

The description of Africans being "blue" reminds me of the film Moonlight. "in the moonlight, Black boys look blue". So idk if there's other aspects to the language that explain why they described African people as blue, but maybe that's part of it.

A similar case can be seen in Hindu mythology. Lord Krishna is often depicted as having a blue coloured skin in modern depictions of his character when in reality, he is supposed to be a very dark being, Krishna itself means black in Sanskrit.

My theory on what will happen in Ragnarok is that angraboda will likely try to get into a romantic relationship with Atreus(Loki) but kratos will disagree with the relationship wishes and think of it as a figure in their way of their actual true goals to stop fimbulwinter and Atreus(Loki) will disagree and try to reason with kratos to trust her because she's a giant like his wife and kratos and Atreus will get into a likely dispute and split up giving us as the player to be able to play as Atreus where angraboda will likely say "What about your father" and Atreus will say something like "What about him " or Forget him leading to them likely running into heimdell. Atreus along with angroboda fight or lose and Atreus will get captured and leave angraboda so she may tell kratos that his son was taken possibly leading to him going to rescue his son and carrying on the cycle of vengeance,What do you think?

Also they could still use the original source material to show that the Gods were great at propaganda. Kratos and Atreus Kill Baldr they then tell the other Gods that Loki tricked Baldr or that Angrboda has skin as pale as death can be there way of making her sound hideous and possibly cursed so that no one would be too afraid to ever approach her.
