Historians REACT to God Of War III | Experts React

[@Juggtacula]

Gamology, please please PLEASE don't be afraid to help the experts out if they start to flounder or get confused. These guy are experts on Greek Mythology, not God of War Greek Mythology. You could've explained that they confused Ares and Hades, and that Ares is dead and the series is called "God of War" because it's originally about the God of War betraying Kratos. Or that they were looking at Harpies, and the Furies actually show up in a different game. I'm sure they'd have interesting commentary on being given the proper context of what they're talking about.

[@jaydenlopez8165]

[@the-mt5ws]

The guys probably confused Hades and Ares because Hades wasn’t actually considered a god by the others, considering he was a total douchebag. Him being on Olympus would typically make no sense.

[@Juggtacula]

@@the-mt5ws That's making my point. The GoW series takes names, locations, and basic stories from mythology and then runs wherever they want with it. It's not anything remotely like actual mythology. Kratos for example is the God of Strength and was insanely loyal to Zeus, not his demi-God son. And Hades wasn't considered an Olympian because he didn't live on Olympus, but he was still considered a God.

[@user-mu8dm4rk7g]

I see this kind of comment every time I watch a Gameology's video once in several months. They really gotta need to do something with it.

[@GarrusVakarian98]

@@Juggtacula Oh, I remember reading something on the whole "Kratos" thing: back when the character was created, the creators didn't even know there was an actual minor god called Kratos. They just picked that one because it meant "Strength".

[@frostsoul4199]

that's been a massive flaw with Gamology throughout a lot of their videos where they don't explain jackshit to the supposed "experts" they bring in so they just sit there with questions that have very obvious answers that can be explained easily.

The fact that they got Kevin Sorbo to voice Hercules in this game was beyond EPIC. This game was definitely ahead of its time.

Perseus in GoW2 was also voiced by the actor who played him in the classic movie.

[@grodcoyote6635]

And considering how much Kevin sorbo is an idiot now makes it a lot more satisfying too, really works both ways too, if he was a great guy then it would have just been nice to hear him as Hercules again.

[@Kostas_epic_gamer]

For everyone who says why he pronounced Kratos that way it is because he said it in greek and overall they are right in this video because all the god of war games are different from real mythology though it is very much inspired from it . I know that because l am greek, in school and on the internet we have seen about mythology.

[@PrixtoTNT]

Spanish community: we won

[@smashbrandiscootch719]

This was INCREDIBLY enjoyable. Also, I always took the story of Pandora as a critique on the gods' hubris. Cause like, all they had to do was just say, "Hey Pandora, this jar contains all of the evil in the world and if you open it, all that evil will get out and we'll all be ankle deep in evil come morning." and I'm pretty sure she would have left it alone. But they were like, "ohhhh we're sooooooo above mortals, why should we bother wasting time with details?" and because of that natural curiosity did its thing and Pandora opened the jar.

[@Acejak1234]

thats exactly how they acted in grim adventures of billy and mandy lol

[@DSkulle1]

thats the point, the jar is supposed to be a trap. pandora and the box were designed to make the mortals hate epimetheus and pandora for releasing all the evils of the world. it was supposed to be secondary punishment for both prometheus and the mortals

Funny how they kept gueseing that Hades was Aries and that those random harpies were the Furies when they were already dead, having been killing by Kratos in other games. (God of War & God of War: Ascension)

[@JPMClientHosting]

Yea, showing them the first few GoW games would've better prepared them for this one considering a whole lot of events happened already.

[@judgeloopy2044]

I love these videos, but I feel like giving them context to the game's story line would make it so much better

[@hippityhoppity5823]

What I find interesting is how after the ending of the last game, the game directly points out that kratos existence changed the fate and prophecies of quite alot of things, which is like saying the history was meant to be normal until the writers wrote in kratos which is what happened

[@stonecoldku4161]

One of the things that I enjoyed about the God of War games was that they delt with the mythologies but introducing this Spartan Kratos and his story messed with those mythologies. One in particular example is what they did with Perseus and Medusa in God of War 1 and 2. In GOW1 Ares was attacking Athens due to his jealousy of Athena and Zeus showing favor to her over him. To attack Athens, he brought his army of undead as well as other mythical creatures. One of whom was Medusa. Now it would make sense that Medusa would want to attack Athens as it was Athena who cursed Medusa by turning her into a Gorgon. Now Kratos was tasked by the gods to save Athens from Ares and during that battle he had to face off with Medusa. Ultimately, he won by ripping her head off. Now in the original myth Perseus was the one to kill Medusa using a blade and using a reflection in his shield in order to see her and not turn to stone. He then used the head of Medusa to save his mother from being forced to marry someone she didn't want to and he also used it to save the woman who would eventually become his wife. But because in the game's mythology Kratos killed Medusa before Perseus was, Perseus was not able to save his future wife, so he had to find another way. Perseus then began his quest to reach The Sisters of Fate. At around the same time GOW2 began. Kratos was betrayed by Zeus, saved by the Titan Gaia and they sent him to The Sisters of Fate in order to change his past and stop Zeus from betraying/killing him. While on the Island of Fate Kratos ran into Perseus and then ended up fighting each other as Perseus thought it was a test by the sisters, kill Kratos in order to be granted an audience with them. It didn't end well for Perseus.

I’m surprised they didn’t get any prior info or summary of the games plot. The whole story is based on the Greek idea of the succession cycle, where the father is felled by the son. It started with Uranus, who was felled by Kronos, who in turn was felled by his son Zeus.

[@nathanielclaw2841]

i can forgive all historical inaccuracies, EXCEPT them making Hera, Hades and Poseidon be just minions full on to defend Zeus. I mean, lets be honest, Hera would 100% supportKratos in secret, and Hades? Why is Hades even there? He wasnt allowed in Olympus and if he got invited just because Zeus needed a mess cleaned up the only thing he would do is send a selfie of him, persephone and cerberus flashing ass and giving Zeus the finger. Also why they made Hades look like that?

[@titanhades4331]

Cause Kratos killed Persephone in a previous game. Not to mention Kratos killed Charon the Ferryman in a previous game. He is not really happy with Kratos. You see Persephones dead body in a coffin in GOW3, which Kratos uses as a battering ram.

[@andersonandrighi4539]

Because God of War is about a demigod, Kratos, destroying the Hellenistic pantheon.

@@titanhades4331 yes that also made no sense either. She hated Zeus and would never serve him or defend him. Seeing she was raped by him.twice. and she also.didnt.like Ares or hera.
