Rein is the last person that would want to be sporting a Nordic skin as they have always been enemies in history. Thor is a big part of Nordic heritage, and I just don’t see him ever wanting to be associated with our culture. To be fair tho I guess he is the closest thing to a viking berserker we have in the game
Reaper and Junker Queen were also given mythology that they were not exactly culturally aligned with, so I don’t think it’s a big priority when they are deciding these things.
Ya i know it didnt really quite make sense asking it lol it was one of those questions I had in the back of my head while waiting for a que and wanted to ask it before it drifted off into the nether.
trivially because “thor=hammer”. and excluding torbjorn who doesn’t always have the hammer in his hand, reinhardt is chosen.
honestly I find the skin preference for rein (ater many skins, mythic wapon include) more problematic than the cultural choice.
