Two things. 1. You might think that Athena being voiced by the same actress who voiced Athena in Age of mythology in this series is cool, but did you know that Zeus in this series is voiced by Corey Burton, who also did the voice of Zeus in Disneys Hercules: the animated series? 2. Thanatos gets KILLED at some point in this series?!? How is that possible? How do you kill the physical personification of death? If Thanatos is gone, how is anyone able to die afterwards?

Sounds like something out of a biblically accurate angels video. Interesting symbolism for a modern adaptation. Something doesn’t need to be a 1:1 copy to convey the same message (especially when its to a different audience).

About icarus. The writers confirmed Icarus did fall to his death and wound up in Hades. However, he was able to bide his time, repair his wings, surgically graft them to his skin, and escape (yes, another hades escapee. Hades not doing his job again). However, the torment and torture he went through while being in the underworld drove him mad and he lost all his sanity. He's now seeking the sisters to prevent his death from ever happening

I actually just realized something interesting about these games.

[@thorn5228]

sadly not the case as that does sound like an intresting idea, the Story behind this version of icarus does infact have him die from the fall and he winds up in hades being tormented over his prideful failure which drives him mad to the point that he spends years crafting new wings (which were fused to his back ouch), and used them to escape hades and go to the fates which seriously god of war hades sucks at his job, mainly due to him wishing for them to undo his fall.

I’ve always like the thought that the sisters of fate’s island is a kind of fixed point in time so everyone who would visit the island is visiting at the same time relative to themselves. Since Kratos is apparently so angry he can’t die, why not have him be so angry he shifts fate and wrathfully spits in the face at the concept of linear time as well. This could explain why so many heroes and monsters that should t exist at the same time are all appearing in front of Kratos. That or the sisters can actively change fate on the island so they are grabbing people and changing their fate so that they will run into Kratos on their way to seek audience.

[@frantisekvrana3902]

That would also handily explain why the Fates can lose. If linear time doesn't exist on their island, then the whole concept of fate is broken there. Which prevents them from controlling the fate of anyone on the island. So they got themselves killed by their hubris. Theys should have stopped Kratos from reaching the island while they still controlled his fate.

Hello again Mythology Guy! I'm happy to see that you're doing well and that you decided to cover another installment of The God of War series! This, like your first video, was a particularly wonderful treat to enjoy since I was a fan of the series a couple of years ago! Do keep up the good work and, with your permission, I'd love to offer a few interjections of my own as well to add in with yours! Take care, and Godspeed!!!!!!! 3:51 Waaaaait, wait wait wait....Zeus could actually do that?!?!? Where the heck does it say in the myths that he acquired this ability in the first place? Does it have something to do with his position as King of The Olympians? Honestly that's just stupid, if Zeus had that power than certainly other Goddesses and Gods should have been able to use it, too! 14:18 Nothing really new to add here on my part other that sort of like last time, the oldest myths from what I remember say that Euryale, alongside her sisters, were already monsters in their own right in Greece. The idea that the sisters were cursed by Athena actually comes from The Roman interpretation of their myths and honestly, The Gorgons have been depicted with quite a wide variety of traits from what I've read on the subject! 16:00 According to the lore I read that was composed for God of War, The Myth of Daedalus and Icarus did indeed occur just like in the original myth, but Icarus here simply kept his wings after he fell into The Underworld and has since been trying to climb his way back out in order to seek The Sisters of Fate to change his past so his accident never occurred! Hee hee, security in The Underworld has been rather lacking in this series! XD 17:02 Honestly, my only guess for this part is that this aspect of The Titans was implemented for the purpose of censorship (Which is fine by me personally). That may seem rather weird, considering that there are plenty of other moments where things aren't censored, but I guess that showing genitalia was considered to be a step too far! XD 17:13 Indeed, Hades' Bident is instead replaced here by a pair of chained hooks that are referred to as The Claws of Hades, which can actually be obtained and used in God of War III, if you ever decide to make another episode! Are they mythologically inaccurate? Yes they are, but hey you know what, they are really awesome either way and they are also my personal favorite weapons across this series, especially since Hades, alongside Persephone, are some of my favorite Greek Gods! Actually I simply just enjoy most of The Chthonic Pantheon in general honestly, I really couldn't care less for most of The Olympians save for Demeter and Hestia.

[@verylazy489]

Im just amazed on your knowledge on greek mythology thanks for being one of my inspiration on loving greek mythology

[@elijahratliff4550]

13:06 "Well that's cool.. but inaccurate" can be said about this whole series

[@reno2319]

Congrats on 700,000 subscribers you deserve it man!

[@Havingsights4009me]

6:45 the best scene ever

[@RecordSaver]

Gaia literally went and said: "Remember Kratos, Dying is GAY" 6:08

[@Giovayo]

Funny since pretty much every greek wouldn't have a problem with that exact statement lmao

[@shadowbladeandlightin8889]

Keep going with the great content man, I envy how you are able to put what most would call useless trivia into genuinely entertaining shorts, videos and more, inspirational in many ways

[@andrewd1131]

Just wanna say your videos and everything you do inspired me working on my own novel with mythology. Congratulations and keep growing.

[@MilestheDirtyMindedGoblin2099]

5:17 my boy shocker

[@MilestheDirtyMindedGoblin2099]

I hope he’s in Spider-Man 2

[@kaidearc8159]

21:41 maybe she wanted the cardio?

[@IndigoMangoWango]

Been subscribed since 100k and I’m so happy too see you getting the recognition you deserve and fast too. Love the videos man!

[@Firebolt7317]

Your videos inspired me to get more into mythology. Your content is not only entertaining but extremely accurate. So you know thank you for the extra serotonin because covid-19 is hitting pretty hard.

[@CalifornianCuttlefish]

Great Video! *This is incredibly helpful and hilarious thank you*

[@danielmendez1893]

I love your work! Hope we get to see more videogame inaccuracies

[@LordyT34]

An inaccuracies on Age of Mythology would be awesome, considering it's the best AoE game ever

[@kchgamer1788]

Oh boy… I don’t even want to know the number of inaccuracies that game has. It’s quite the number but it doesn’t lessen how good the game is.

[@bootyspoon4675]

The biggest inaccuracy is calling Age of Mythology "the best AoE game ever" when Age of Empire II exists

[@lucca7566]

You are growing pretty fast man, and the fact that your videos take more time to make than for more people subscribe your channel says a lot, all my greetings to you

[@LightingbladeShen]

another lovely run down! Always enjoy these videos!

[@darkwraithjinx228]

NOW THREE!!!! but seriously thanks for this i do hope to see the whole series eventually up here, legit the best mythos youtuber in my opinion

[@bobobopatch120]

10:12 Shout out to Niles from The Nanny.

[@Snake-pg2jh]

16:02 Quick note if/ when you do God of War 3; Daedalus does show up in a Labyrinth in “the caverns of Olympus”, which he built for Zeus on the promise that he would see the return of Icarus , and Daedalus is voiced by Malcolm McDowell

[@shadowandluigifan]

I hope you do the whole series. Seeing the comparisons are so interesting

[@arijitdasgupta1706]

Looking forward to more God of War related videos. Awesome job

[@GuyWhoWatchesStuff]

13:27 Well that was more of a poetic kill because he was told by someone (I think Medea) something along the lines of "Your life's greatest work shall be your end" and that ship was the Arganot

[@akirakusunoki5334]

I would absolutely adore the Mythology Guy taking a look at Lore Olympus. Not an inaccuracy video, since it's a modern retelling sort of story, but reading through it and getting his reactions would be fun.

[@alucardmaetheius7903]

Fantastic video, im glad that i knew about your channel thanks to the gow 1 video, cus i been enyojin yoir conyent so far, cant wait for the rest of the saga.

[@astrobat1638]

12:29 Andrew if you are wondering King Alrik did ask Hades permission to leave and since he was Hades' champion in a fictional war over ambrosia to take revenge on Kratos

[@Shotoplays]

1:51 the end of the ad

[@SarcasmKing23]

“Hestia is Bestia” is the most accurate saying in the entire world!!

[@randomrobin7773]

Please continue, I love these videos so much.

[@theme2349]

Im so proud seeing your channel increase so fast i remember when you were a smaller channel

[@adam-dn3hi]

oh this is perfect i never knew this was going to be a series

[@sessilygoodwin6306]

So glad I found your channel, love both the Greek and egyptian gods. You should check out this game that came out years ago called Rise of the Argonauts. Would love to hear you review it

[@geoforce2272]

Honestly this is the first time I haven't skipped the sponsor video in a long time, because you hooked me up with the intro lol, keep up the great work!!!! Oh and btw what books do you recommend I should read to increase my knowledge in greek mythology, thank you!!

[@ashyflame]

12:34 in a funny way I find that fitting since he hates his job you said it in your Percy Jackson vid about the first movie 3:58 Zeus stripped away Poseidon's godhood wow. Riordan should make a Percy Jackson story out of that

[@imthethriller]

7:10 I like one particular version of the story where the Pegasus tired to fly to the top of Mount Olympics it got tired and gave out falling to its death the rider along with it.

[@thespectre01]

Please continue this series my mythically knowledged friend. This is the way

[@bartoszdulas1703]

I lova that you've put Spider-Man's Shocker when you said "Shocker, I know"

[@valdish9620]

11:52 well yeah... Hence why Kratos didn't expect it.

[@GuyWhoWatchesStuff]

17:17 You mean Zeus's lighting one-dent

[@rudrakshpatni5366]

The correct terminology would be uni-dent, mister

[@LoieGoose]

the long awaited sequel

[@BadSituation29]

Cratus The God of Power and Strength; that explains everything.

[@TheLSpike]

I love these video's, PLEASE continue this series!

[@ijustexist3866]

6:39 Kartos: Let me slide in 6:57 since when did Pegasus have flaming wings? 12:05 this scene looks like Theseus got stabbed near his family jewels 14:42 she looks like what I think Echidna would look like 15:39 I thought Athena gave Perseus her shield or a replica of it 16:55 and Hades looks more like a monster as well. Also maybe he can chose when to turn invisible I guess? 18:17 I wonder who would win if they ever met and fought 21:20 👍 21:52 I’ve heard there is a Primordial of Mountains, so maybe that have something to do with it

[@URNM-fd1vd]

I feel like I can listen to this guy talking about mythologies for hours.

[@vaggos2003]

12:00 It seems the writers were aware of that and perhaps that's why Kratos says "And you were the last I would expect to become a servant of the Fates.". Also, what is it with living beings freeing/ressurrecting themselves through burning themselves in this game?

[@joshuapalmer4138]

10:57 I just assumed that Zeus just came down behind it an boned Cerberus

[@tommyh6895]

can’t wait for god of war 3 this series is amazing

[@Thunfischpudding]

Then we should quickly complete 800k subs

[@alexandersmith4731]

@Skíðblaðnir the vid is just to learn actual Greek Mythology since GOW is based on it, it's fun

[@mr.falcon314]

@Skíðblaðnir He just pointed out the inaccurate stuff in the Game. Inaccurate doesn't mean bad

[@mr.falcon314]

@Skíðblaðnir Bro wdym? This series is based on Greek mythology and they changed a bunch of stuff to make the story work

[@alexandersmith4731]

@Skíðblaðnir stop being prissy about it, it's for fun and learning

[@keelixonmarx]

bro fr said " never mind " 💀 10:30 turkey baster.

[@Spartanunit5]

So happy you’re covering GoW. Also love the Hestia Is Bestia line.

[@techguyz839]

Man your sponsor ad was so funny, didn't skip it , getting nord vpn now 🤣🤣🤣

[@fuckhead0]

funny how the Kraken misconception making it into this game all the way back in 2007 accidentally ties in multiple myths existing simultaneously in the god of war series

[@Kumakaree]

11:37 made me laugh way more than it should've

[@tinkavandergaarden6746]

Congrats on the 700k!
