[@pepethefrog6809]

Oh damn, didn't realize he actually teared up in the Blades of Chaos scene, maybe I was just too hype to notice if Kratos did tear up in the game too, but now I know why the emotion was so raw during that moment. That's awesome.

[@DiscountTreeClimber]

Yeah.

[@briansgamesandanime]

Christopher Judge is an incredible actor. He started out as a pro football player and ended up on one of the longest running Sci Fi shows in history: Stargate SG-1 as Teal'c. I think he's underrated as an actor but here we get to those magic moments that he brings to the screen.

Atreus: "But you have changed! You are not a monster." Kratos: "That is exactly what I am!!" Atreus: "Not to me!" That is exactly how kids see their parents. Most of them, anyway.

[@ethanispretzles8278]

True sadly

[@bobthejedi]

When Christopher broke saying I know after being called a monster, wish they’d used that take in the game, would have been a real moment to hear kratos emotional like that!

[@thorny8013]

Do you even know his character bro? Do you even know Kratos? It's so out of character for him

[@bobthejedi]

@@thorny8013 I agree but would have shown how his life has changed and allowed him to soften and forgive himself for his past. Would be an interesting new way to take the character, growth and change.

[@HumanDevilTV]

@@thorny8013 It's not about what the character was, but what it can be. This game progressed the character of Kratos far more than the previous games did. And it would add so much more depth to a character that has yet to show an emotional side. Kratos never really stopped being human, even when becoming a god. Maintaining that bit of humanity is really important, if you ask me.

[@speedyl6554]

@@HumanDevilTV Ecxactly, I see strong connection between Kratos' and Wolverine's life path, in this chapter Kratos is more like Old man Logan than his previous self, reminiscing and redemtion and since he got a kid to take care of he ought to change. Keeping in mind that he annihilated the whole Greek Pantheon and in conversation with Mimir they concluded Kratos can't use his god powers anymore cause his old earth was destroyed with magic in it, he lets his past flow away.

You will always be a monster…. I know. But I am your monster no longer…. Obviously judge nails this because Kratos acknowledged all the terrible things he’s done but he knows at least now he’s fighting for the right reasons but it still doesn’t excuse what he’s done before.

[@lorenzolo9228]

what did he mean about a love letter to my kids and started sobbing? did something happen to his kids?

[@ThePratMan]

It's not fact but i reckon he was distant or had evident bonding 8ssues with his kids early on. Stresses of a long hours work and new kids. The way he said I know know told he'll always be a monster. That's a father regretting his stress levels when his kids where young. As a father I head it and know it all to well myself

Seen these several times. But I honestly have to give such insane credit to the boi, I usually vehemently resent child-actors but it struck me in GoW5 that I never once felt angered at the actor. I mean sure he might've slipped once or twice but they all do that, but during these 100+ hours of games I never once groaned at "ugh childactors..."

[@iitstre_4550]

Dude Christopher Judge had the craziest voice. Like how tf does that voice come out of his body? 😱

[@chaser_allelujah3005]

He reminds me of Tim Duncan from the San Antonio Spurs (NBA). When Tim speaks, his voice is quiet and calm, but he has the same body physique as Christopher Judge and you wouldn’t expect him to sound like that at all. I was so shocked as well to actually match the name and body to the voice! 😮😮😮
