I think the real message isn’t that Kratos is letting go of his past, it’s that Atreus never cared about his past he only saw him as his father. He rushed him because to him his fathers past doesn’t matter, he only knows him how he is now

[@quintinwright8487]

That's a good way to interpret that

[@JDog2656]

He wants to know, but now he knows enough. Now Kratos doesn’t feel shame for his past anymore. Or at least not as he did. To be able to face the past shamelessly and wear it without fear is to truly live in the present. Hence why he bears the scars of the chaos blades openly.

Considering he has Zeus's blood in him, the name would be fitting.

[@pallettownheroes2738]

well...... farbauti, was only known for striking laufey with a lightning bolt that conceived loki..... so maybe i guess? kraitos never seemed to me as the one to "willing strike" his wife in any form, which is my only problem with the comparison

[@LET4M4RU]

@@pallettownheroes2738 Farbauti's name means "Dangerous striker", with the strike being lightning bolts. Zeus being the god of Thunder and Kratos's dad, coupled with the fact that Farbauti could also be translated to "anger striker" (and boy do we know Kratos's mood range goes from totally pissed to extremely annoyed) it is oddly fitting

[@pallettownheroes2738]

@@LET4M4RU i do get where you're going with your connections on this. didn't doubt any of the previous comments either, my issue is, that for loki to have been born, farbauti struck his wife with a LIGHTNING BOLT. it took a curse and shameful deceit to harm his first wife and daughter, i severely doubt, he stuck his late wife this time. thats what im getting at. we all know kraitos has anger issues, and he;s the son of zeus, blah blah blah. if lighting can impregnate frost giant women of jordenhiem, then they should of been man whoring thor's ass a long damn time ago.

I think one of the reasons why this game is so special is because it’s a lot more deep and complex compared to not only it’s predecessors, but most games in general. Kratos goes from a neutral brute to a loving and righteous father. Atreus goes from an inexperienced child to a young warrior. As the game goes on, they bond a lot more, the relationship is one that starts off sketchy but becomes strong! The hero’s journey is so complex and vast.

[@ghostofsparta6579]

11:33 ~The last Spartan~ The Last Spartan was a brave and loyal young Spartan commander who was very loyal to Kratos during his time on his throne as the God of War and was one of the few people Kratos actually cared for besides his family. He received his title due to him being the only mortal Spartan survivor after the betrayal of Zeus killing and wiping evey solder in the battlefield with the blad of Olympus. He was the warrior who traveled to the Island of Creation to save Sparta from zuse , crossing paths on the island and runing into each other they both fought in the dark resulting in Kratos accidentally killing the last spartan out of rage and confusion.. Once identity reviled !! & Even while dying, the Spartan remained loyal to his former captain and god..

This story was beautiful. Kratos lived his whole life with nothing but rage, a burning desire to kill the gods that ruined his life. But when he finished it, he likely found emptiness. He left Greece and somehow he fell in love with Faye enough to have a new family. His coldness towards Atreus at times may have been because he never forgave himself for his daughter. But he still loves his son. He accepts his past, that he is no longer the monster of the gods, but a monster for his son. To protect him and raise him for a destiny neither understand.

That and how it showed how much Faye loved Kratos. She knew he was monster in complete grief and regret for all that he has done. So she set course for him and their child’s journey, aiming it to give what Kratos had always sought; self-forgiveness and a chance to be the loving father he once was. Say what you will about his first family, but Faye was truly his greatest love, for she gave him the greatest gift besides another family. A second chance to forgive himself of his past and find happiness.

Kratos uncovering his past fully and looping it back to his origins was wonderful but then the mural showing happened and I just.... He can't die. You can see with deep interpretation linking to the first games that he was never meant to die. He is damned to eternal life and Zeus being there is another grim reminder of his fate. Especially since he and Feyr birthed Loki as it turns out.

[@Nim...]

Can't wait to see Atreus becoming buff like his papa in the future...and probably go bald

[@lil_halfrican_boi2124]

So in Norse mythology Loki more or less started Ragnarok because of how much he hated the gods. How much you wanna bet he hates the gods because they killed Kratos, and Ragnarok is his revenge?

[@emperormouse5487]

That's whats gonna happen. Thor is going to kill Kratos (I'm guessing this will be the very first fight in the next GOW) and Atreus will be adopted by Odin to become Loki. The next game or two will be focused on his story as an adult, seeking revenge against Thor and the rest of the Asgardians.

[@joshuaburt593]

Emperor Mouse in Norse Mythology, Loki is never adopted by Odin, thats Marvel, Loki is the son of Farbauti (Kratos) and Laufey(Faye) Loki then fathers Fenrir the wolf, Jormungandr(The world serpent) and hel, as well as Odins 8 legged horse slepnir, (This is why Jormungandr said the boy looks familiar, its his father) and thirdly, there is no such thing as Asgardians, they are Aesir

The game drops many subtle hints as to *B O Y* being Loki. When he first finds out he's half god one of the first things he asks is if he could turn Into an animal, he also starts acting a bit more mischievous. As you said Baldur says "I thought you'd be bigger" Because he was looking for Faye. But these are only a few hints among many more.

Dad: "All Spartans are great warriors. We train from birth. Our lives were discipline, duty, battle, and death. Life was grim, and we greeted it grimly." Boi: "Mmhmm." Dad: "But Atreus of Sparta was unlike the rest of us. He wore a smile even in the worst of times. He was happy. He inspired us to hope that though we were machines of war, yet there was humanity in us. Goodness. When the day came for him to lay down his life in battle, his sacrifice saved countless others and turned the tide in our favor. I carried him home on his shield and buried him with all the honors of Spartan custom. His memory was a comfort in dark times."

[@anthonyquiroz96]

patadeurso if you knew the story. You would know he was killed by s blind god.

[@kerriethomson-cinematograp1157]

He was killed by a blind god, Höd,- however, it was Loki who discovered Baldr's one weakness was Mistletoe, and he was the one who gave the blind god the mistletoe that killed Baldur. So Loki was indeed responsible through being involved and giving the Mistletoe, though he was not the one who delivered the blow. But here - Atreus shot Baldr with the mistletoe that took away the immortality. So while it is a bit different from the story, Baldur's death was still by Mistletoe and Loki's involvement.

[@DarsiPadilla]

Atreus and his father only learned that Mistletoe was Baldur's weakness right after Baldur's punch lead to a piece of the arrow being pierced to the untouchable god's flesh.

[@indiscretion.]

Did you just call Kratos a coward?, bruh he's never afraid to anyone even to Odin or Thor just because they're stronger than him, remember when he just straight up challenged Zeus in the beginning of GOW 2 despite his grievous wounds while Zeus had the upper hand. The reason why he didn't want to fight Odin or Thor for now is because he didn't want to repeat the same mistake he did in Greece, and he have no reason to fight either of them unless if they provoke or challenge him like Baldur, Magni, and Modi did. If he did afraid to Odin or Thor he should've worried about the consequences or their vengeance after he killed 3 of their kin.
