Honestly, I recently replayed this and GoW2018, and my read of Kratos in GoW3 has shifted to perhaps what I think is my best understanding of the character I've had. Kratos in GoW3 is a walking, anger-issues Sunk Cost Fallacy. From the moment he kills Poseidon and drowns most of Greece in the opener, I kept getting less an attitude of resolve, and more an attitude od desperation. Kratos NEEDS to kill Zeus not just because he's vengeful in the extreme, can rightly blame the gods for a lot of his fucked up life, and is redirecting a lot of his toxic self hatred at them; but he needs to kill Zeus no matter what because if he doesn't, everything he's suffered, lost, and DONE will have been for nothing. And the more gods he kills because they're in his way, the worse he makes things, so he needs even more to do the thing he thinks will make his nigh-apocalyptic actions less terrible. This is why Pandora both works and grates, because Kratos clearly thinks he now has a way to redeem himself and bring new meaning to his rampage by not killing her to serve his purposes. It's less Kratos feeling like a dad again, and more him finally trying to take an opportunity to not destroy and instead save, entirely because he thinks that will help how he feels about himself. And while Pandora is entirely willing to die to destroy the last of Olympus' power and kill Zeus, neither her willingness nor Kratos' unwillingness will be redemptive for him. Kratos long since passed the moral event horizon, to the point he can only start to redeem himself for what he's done by trying to kill himself and then pissing off to a whole other version of Earth where he lives in seclusion with his new prophecy wife, who possibly only married him because of prophecy.

[@artorius4809]

Its so nice to see someone calling out GoW attempts at humanizing Kratos with children that hardly matter And its blatant power fantasy trip

[@vargknight]

Man, the intro to this game is one of the most amazing things that have ever been done in gaming though. And some of the boss fights are peak gameplay

[@chefbreccia2642]

God of War games have some of the best openings in the business. He fights the Colossus of Rhodes and Baldur, shaking the earth apart, in _tutorial sections_.

[@chrisdaughen5257]

Athena said her sacrifice made her ascend and realize mankind was better off without Zeus. What this "ascension" was may never be explained in-game. Cory Barlog in an interview around GoW3's release said her saving Zeus was the first time a god ever acted selflessly, causing her to ascend and realize a monotheistic religion could be better for people with her being the only god (giving a little more context for her wanting hope at the end). Seeing as she's in GoW4 for a scene makes me think she'll be in future titles trying to accomplish that goal.

[@nicholascauton9648]

One thing that is way overlooked is the fact that God of War 3 begins immediately after God of War 2 where Kratos should have all the other weapons he obtained in his journey such as the Spear of Destiny and the Barbarian's Hammer to name a few. Plus the previous magic powers on top of them. And all of a sudden, we're only reduced to a tornado power move, the golden fleece, and the wings of Icarus. Oh and the Blade of Olympus which is technically its own weapon instead of being a rage power move. Edit: 15:40 More like it's too much for KZbin's fragile minds.

[@itimlopes1779]

Just like God of War 2, we get only Poseidon's Rage, thankfully the book explains what happened to his magics, Kratos only borrowed the powers, the gods took them back after the end of the game, Athena took the Medusa's head to make Perseus' shield (no idea why) and Poseidon let Kratos keep his power as a reward for ridding his seas of the Hydra, the question is, where is Poseidon's Rage in Ghost of Sparta? And where are Ghost of Sparta powers in God of War 2? That always happens because, new game, new powers, can't be op from the start

[@MGrey-qb5xz]

[@trailblazerlazerrazerd9027]

Correction; Aphrodite is Zeus's aunt in a way. When Kronos/Kronos/Cronus killed his father, the creator sky god Ouranos, the severed genitals of the first lord were thrown into the sea. Then foam created by that mixture became Aphrodite, who just kinda stayed out of general events in Greek myth until the Olympians ruled. Then she was married to Hephaestus who trapped Hera in a magic golden throne that no one could break her out of as part of a trick to get him into Olympus. After the smith god succeeded Aphrodite begrudgingly married him on Zeus's orders. She hated him the entire time because they were opposites, she still “loved” him as part of her nature as the Love goddess, and cared a little bit as his wife. Kinda like how even though they hated each other there was still some attraction between the Emperor and Empress from the movie - Curse of the Golden Flower, or how time and lustful appetites made the marriage of King Beowulf and Queen Wealthow from the movie - Beowulf when he had that servant girl as a side piece and the Queen was all too aware and naturally bitter for it. Or a better example, Zeus and Hera 😅🤦🏾‍♂️. And Aphrodite hated him probably more than she loved Hephaestus, so it was a conflicting relationship. Naturally, the smith god mentioning Kratos bring “conquered” by her, since it's also known in Greek myth that Ares and Aphrodite were star crossed lovers who were together in barely contained secret. And in the myths, she bore them both lots of kids. But Love & War matched each other better, she probably damn near never bothered with Hephaestus for a long time, like two folks being in an mutually unhappy marriage but still can't get over each other in a way. Also Hephaestus made like all of her jewelry, so naturally a vainglorious goddess like her would give him a little attention for that. (Like Freya did, marrying a Dwarf for each day of the week in classic Norse myth and bore children for each of them when they produced magnificent jewelry for her that she was bewitched by). In this game though, they didn't worry about any of that.

[@arthurdurham]

The reason why Kratos was so pissed about Zues killing him in GOW 2 was Zues and the gods forced him to be the god of war in the first place. In the first game they gaslight him into killing Aries and then prevent his suicide and forcibly put him on the throne. He already hated them, this just started the process to murdering them. His rampaging was basically a big fuck you to them and Zues killing him to still try to control him (after once again tricking him into it) can make someone real pissed.

[@QueSeraSeraaaa]

Not to mention, keeping his brother away for years due to the prophecy of the "marked one", Zeus cursing Callisto, turning her into a beast if she reveal his name to Kratos. Tricking him to kill his wife and daughter and cursed to have their ashes on him forever. The gods really messed with his life.

RIGHT?! Hephaestus may have been bound to the underworld, but he was still a god. His death should have caused a volcanic eruption or something generally speaking because he was the god of blacksmiths, fire and “the lame” (ugly or disfigured). Some say that in his Roman mythological iteration - Vulcan, one version of the stories tells that he became angry and destroyed Pompeii which is how the word “Volcano” came into being. His death setting off some mountains in a mass eruption 🌋 would make all the sense. Or at least blow the tops off a few lower mountains around Olympus.

[@jc._.goated6666]

[@trailblazerlazerrazerd9027]

@@jc._.goated6666 Well to be fair what exactly would happen when a god of war died? If anything you might think stuff would've become more peaceful since someone like Ares was the embodiment of Anger and Ambition. After all War is the ultimate and partially inevitable eventuality of conflict between 2 or more groups. If there was one thing I might expect to come from his death, is that maybe be people would be unconsciously or emotionlessly murdering one another, almost like the Purge. Because at least in war you put all that anger out in the forefront, you make plans, you eventually get political and try to find ways to make peace or absorb the lesser power into your control especially if there's a possibility of rebellion from within, and all of the money that gets spent and wasted in war. Or even things that can get smuggled around because of the distraction of the fighting, and even the opposite of that with people going to Def-con 1 and locking down all possible escape routes or major highways. But if you're just walking around as a ball of pent up or unknown rage and then you stab somebody or drown them or club them over the head without cause or something to gain, you're not a warrior or soldier. Then you're just a murderer. That actually would've been pretty interesting to see. A world gone mad with the loss of Ares because he gave them good cause to be Angry and Wrathful. But then Kratos ascended to become the God of War in his place like 5 mins later so we'll never know.

I know you went on a whole spiel about Kratos and them pushing the theme and redemption of fatherhood onto him especially hard on him in GOW 2018, but you had to admit that while killing Zeus in GOW 3 felt good solely because you spent forever trying to do it, only for them to twist it on its head the following game. You can't tell me you didn't feel shameful seeing Atreus witness the memory of it. It does such a good job at recontextualising things and how Kratos now sees the past, making his insistance of killing Zeus make far more sense and fulfilling narratively.

Agreed, and everyone’s favorite part is when we revisit kratos dark past and retrieve the blades of chaos. Which is also a hole in the story cuz the blades of chaos were destroyed.

[@michaelbk0076]

For sin 3, Kratos didn't go back in time and bring all the Titans with him, he only brought Gaia. After that, the two of them broke the rest of the Titans out from Tartarus in present day, and then began their assault on Olympus. Not only that, but Kratos isn't killing the gods because he wants to. The gods in the GOW franchise have shown multiple times that they're willing to lie, cheat and destroy their way out of anything. Kratos wanted Ares dead because he was tricked by him into killing his family. He wants Zeus dead because he was like, "lmao fuck Sparta" and wiped it out. He's killing the others because they're actively helping Zeus and are trying to make sure the status quo doesn't change. In all honesty, Kratos killing the gods is completely justified

Sin 3: You know damn well its not because of that. It's because the ashes of his dead wife and daughter got cursed on him. You literally mentioned it in GoW 2018. Also it wasn't just for personal reasons that he killed Ares, Kratos thought the gods would take away his nightmares and visions of his past, only to say "sorry, that's not what we agreed on", hence why he became a dick to the gods.

[@tubebammy]

You missed the point that Kratos had never met Pandora. He likely assumed she was a grown woman and another god for him to kill. But when he found out she was a little girl he became sensitive because she did remind him of the daughter he killed. We have seen that Kratos does not become bloodthirsty around children, he actually cares about them. And yes I am including Boy in that because although he was hard with him, he was training him to be a warrior because he knew that he was a boy and boys were trained for war. So I guess I can say he is sensitive around little girls because even he knows they have to be nurtured properly. That is the humane side of Kratos... little girls.

[@MGrey-qb5xz]

i think he won't kill children period but if pandora did attack him then the gloves are off

Some others sins : - We crush Hercules face after his battle => Even if the head had exploded, we continue to smash him - When we get the Omphalos stone, Chronos says "You have what you came for ! Let me be !" => How did he know ? - Heiphaistos creates an weapon with this stone, a weapon that can't be rushed. => Buty he built that very quickly - Hephaistos had tried to kill us => While we have killed a freaking Titan

I don't see Kratos' attempted suicide at the end of the game an act of altruism, more like a final act of spite against a god.

[@trailblazerlazerrazerd9027]

I don't see why Cronos called Gaea his beloved or whatever. She was the daughter/wife of Ouranos. If there was anyone calling her something like that I would expected it to be Tartarus, who like Hades was also a god, although people nicknamed the underworld after him. He was a primordial deity like Gaea, so she wasn't a Titan either. She was their mother. And the mom of Aegean the Hecatonchires from God of War: Ascension, who's whole body was transformed into a living prison by the Furies in that game. Meanwhile Cronos' wife was Rhea, who we see in a flashback in God of War 2, when Gaea was giving Kratos background information on Zeus. Telling him the story of how he was saved by the eagle and basically raised on Gaea's back.

[@trailblazerlazerrazerd9027]

@Chandler Burse You're not wrong. In fact Kratos sleeping with Aphrodite for probably the 30th or 40th time even after Ares was dead, is pretty much him having sex with his great aunt since Aphrodite was technically the last child of Ouranos due to her being made of his blood, castrated genitals and seminal fluid splashing into the sea and creating a foam that just kinda transformed into her 🤷🏾‍♂️😅😖😖😖. And while Kronos may be a bit of a mama's boy, he's also kind of the first murderer. Like how in Judaic-Christian myth/lore, Cane was the first murderer, but he killed his brother Abel in a fit of rage and jealousy. Kronos was more so set to be his father's assassin, which is why Gaia gave him the first weapon ever made - the Scythe (besides the magic and nameless spears lots of deities or powerful spirits, like Angels with their “flaming swords”, in various myths have) and leaped from the shadows to dissect his dear old daddy. His brother Titans like Hyperion and Iapetus held Ouranos in place so he can return to his domain in the sky and escape, so they became accomplices to the murder just as much as Gaia was as the planner. And I'm guessing that she put her son Kronos on the throne thinking he would be better than his father. In some cases he was. And that's the same reason why she wanted Zeus to also grow up and take over after Kronos, so technically Gaia and Rhea were working together on that. But there's no story about somebody who came after Zeus, it's implied that great heroes like Perseus or Hercules might have the potential. But overall those just get turned into exaggerated retellings in Hollywood action movies. Or in this case video games like God of War, Rise: Son of Rome (a bit, with the rivalry between Nemesis - goddess of revenge and the other whom I'm guessing might've been Boreus - god is the North wind) or Immortals: Fenyx Rising. And of course none of this is supposed to be taking literally, after all in the actual myth Pandora is not the daughter of Hephaestus. She was actually created by Zeus in the other gods as the first human/mortal woman after mankind (which were literally mostly just men, or a combination of men and some hermaphroditic males, since Prometheus only made a few of them but yet there are more than by the time Pandora was created, I think. Which is also coming off of another myth suggesting that humans were one being also mostly from Judaic-Christian myth, which tells that Adam and his first wife who never had a name were one entity before being split apart by Jehovah/Yaweh/God). So technically the father of Pandora would be Zeus himself since he's also pretty much the father of mankind. Although looking back at it now that's kind of a joint custody thing between him and Prometheus, with a little splash of Athena so that humans/mortals could gain wisdom and have some common sense. She was definitely not a eternal 14-year-old girl who was neither alive or dead, a god or human/mortal or ghost or monster, technically she was basically like one of his statues that just kind of came to life with immortality, flesh and blood and started breathing. There's another story about a sculptor who was blessed by Aphrodite with a marble statue that she turned into a woman for him to love named Galatea. But not from a Bronze statue or scraps of the metal enchanted by the box Hephaestus was crafted and the Flame of Olympus. Also as a side thing; Kratos technically should already be immune to the Flame of Olympus. He pretty much got in that same power from Prometheus when he died. Because his body fell into a fire pit and his ashes becoming part of Kratos' Spartan Rage, those embers were supposed to be from Olympus. And the Flame of Olympus is supposed to be the primordial flame that Prometheus used to give mankind our start so we weren't just hiding in caves and or simple stick hut villages.

[@chrisdaughen5257]

[@JakeTylenol]

3:49 the reason he even came back to life in the second one was because of his hated for Zeus of course he’s still mad when he comes back that’s the entire fucking point Also, that’s not why he’s mad, it’s what set him off, which if you played the other games you should know that Kratos’s grievances was that the gods promised to get rid of his PTSD and instead they made him the God of War the only reason he’s like this is because they gave him a consolation prize that was never going to fix his issues 5:53 it’s almost like in the second game Kratos was given the power of the Titans who can kill gods 6:11 you’re right, Zeus should just let Kratos kill him instead 6:30 he didn’t die he fell, this is the one game in the Greek trilogy Kratos doesn’t die in 6:41 thank you for bringing up something the game does shortly later 7:22 Idk maybe it has something to do with the fact that Zeus is filled with the fear of the box which stops him from dying like the others but I guess you’d have to beat the game to know that 8:56 the gods actively didn’t like Kratos so they probably would go through great lengths to keep these things away from him. Besides Kratos spent most of his time helping Sparta kill mortals anyway 9:19 yes but she looks much much younger than she actually is and Kratos’s PTSD is still in effect 10:10 retcon or not it is explained in game so idk why you don’t have an answer for this, Zeus was infected by the fear that was trapped inside the box 10:53 or just accept that Kratos is petty and is ultimately proven right that he doesn’t need the Titans help anymore. 11:05 well unless those sunglasses have the skin and durability of the gods, no, no they would not protect him 12:24 yes he does, why do you think that if you’ve beaten this game? 14:29 probably by the edge of the gauntlet hes balancing himself on that you can easily see in this shot 16:21 no that’s what you, me, and most players did but it may not be cannon as it was optional the sex anyway 18:27 what did you want? All of creation to die off? 19:02 I think he’s using the eyes of the statue to see and remembering where to go we see it from 3rd person for our benefit 19:37 how is hiding Pandora in the most secure vault in fucking Greece a mistake? Where the hell else was he supposed to hide her? 20:37 yeah would it be using the method that literally can’t work on Zeus? 21:57 Jesus Christ you’ve seen the ending of this game it DIDNT KILL HIM 22:18 WOW, crazy how he totally had to USE THE BOX TO KILL ZEUS, good thing he listened to Athena huh?! 22:50 SHE LITERALLY EXPLAINED WHAT THE BOX DOES AND WHY HE NEEDED IT AND YOU KEPT THE SINS, 23:30 didn’t keep him dead the first time tbf

@17:55 Two things; in God of War Lore, Rhea is Cronos wife, not Gaia. Regarding the time travel shenanigans, given how Cronos is a deity of Time itself, I'm pretty sure this would let him see past all of that. Also, the gods of Olympus didn't seem to confused about Kratos' time travel shenanigans. We can assume that the deities can see through the time travel shenanigans.

[@an-animal-lover]

[@yvenusbeshears5287]

The real reason kratos survived is because after he kill all the gods they cursed him to never die basically he can’t be killed similar to Baldur completely different and the curse also made the blades of chaos returned to him no matter where he’s located basically if he throws the blades in the ocean and and travel 4000 miles away and fall asleep the blades magically return that’s why he has the blades on God of war 4 . Trust me it’s not a theory it’s actually a thing in a comic that came out a couple years after the God of war 4 y’all should read it , it’s pretty good and it sheds a whole new light on Kratos.

[@Hellfire918]

Where's the ding for them using the Roman version of Hercules name instead of the Greek version Heracles. Also for Hera, who despised Heracles considering Heracles her "Favorite Son". Also Heracles is not Hera's son.....

[@dollmaker6599]

Probably due to popularity tbh, Hercules is more know i suppose. Its pretty obvious that Hera doesnt care for Heracles, which like you mentioned in fact she completely despised, to her, either of the two dying was a win for her, a good evidence of this was how Hera didnt warned Heracles of Kratos coming behind him which resulted in him losing his weapons that led to his death, or how she seems to enjoy the two fighting to death regardless of whos winning. Regarding the son part, i guess its simply cause Hera is Zeus wife. About the Favorite Son thing, i think Heracles grew so jealous of Kratos to the point of being completely irrational, since he ignores all the bad stuff that Zeus did to his "favorite son".
