Hey there! Such a great topic to dive into! I personally believe that the Asgard use their advanced technology and illusions more for defense rather than manipulation. Their main goal seems to be protecting themselves and their allies from potential threats in the galaxy. By creating illusions and using tricks, they can deter enemies and maintain their superiority without resorting to outright aggression. It’s fascinating to think about how their tactics play into their overall strategy of peacekeeping and maintaining balance in the galaxy. What are your thoughts on this? I’d love to hear more of your theories!
