About Video Game Sophistry:
Video Game Sophistry is an opportunity to celebrate the creators and the artistry found in Video Games. I believe that Games are the most effective medium from experiencing another world, and another way to live. Expect to see a series of videos showcasing the narratives hidden in every game, interviews with game developers, along with our bench mark weekly podcast, Dialogue Wheel.
Andy Borkowski started this program nearly 10 years ago and, in that time, it has changed from a simple KZbin show, to a radio show, a tv show and now once again a KZbin destination. Welcome to VGS.

The writing is surprisingly organic looking back. Back in GoW 3 we see his humanity resurfacing in his interactions with Pandora, and when he finally succeeds in his grand quest for vengeance he looks so empty inside. Devoid of purpose, what would have been his last act was to sacrifice his life to free humanity from being enthralled by the gods once and for all rather than usher in a new age of Olympian tyranny. He went down the road of vengeance and found it led nowhere and when left to deal with only himself he showed who he was in the dark without it. It truly did set the stage for this next story.

6:37 can we all appreciate for a second that from the sound of her voice and how quick she opened the door, that freya was more than likely at the door after Kratos’ first call out? She wanted to see her boys again, and wanted a reason to let them in.

[@surtaandume_psykermystyk4010]

Or she was stashing her papers and scales and lighting her incense... That was legitimately my first thought when I heard that she was so close to the door. But then, I am odd and slightly twisted. Alas, I am what the gods have made me... ...BOI!

[@Frikcha]

Kratos being utterly helpless is heart-breaking; this man rose above & overthrew his own civilization's Pantheon of gods out of sheer force of will but no amount of love for his son can suddenly make him an experienced healer, so when his boy is sick he literally can't do anything but panic and yell and pray for someone to save him.

[@helichwan2797]

Damn that "Freya!" voice of desperation at 6:41 makes me cry woo lemme get tissues 😢

[@pin-upprint7459]

I love how quickly she opens the door when she realises it's for Atreus.

[@16Vagabond]

"No need to explain. Not to me. Not for that." Those are the exact words Kratos spoke to Freya in Ragnarok when she tried to apologize for her anger over her son's death. He took these words to heart!

Just how vulnerable Kratos sounds here, it's heartbreaking. You know that he doesn't want to lose the one thing left that gives his life meaning.

Kratos is definitely more human in the current GoW game and I think that's awesome

In beginning of God of War 3 when Zeus hits Gaea with lightning & she falls from Mt. Olympus. Kratos struggles to maintain her grip on Gaia and asks for her help. But the idiot conveniently forgot that he had Icarus Wings that he can use to fly. He ends up falling in River styx , losing all his old powers and causing the entire journey of GOW3.

[@MrDibara]

Leaked Ideias I wouldn't go that far, but he's definitely becoming a great father figure. By the end of the game, I'm really glad to see Kratos and Atreus together. It feels like they're a good family, and that's heartwarming. :)

[@dontsubscribe8292]

kratos would kill her anyway. Probably with domestic abuse or something.

I liked Freya... Too bad we had to save her just to see her become an enemy...

[@SpikeySenjuSSJPapa]

Kevin Rodríguez she's not a enemy just mourning

[@azazel166]

Spikey Senju Mimir mentioned that while they were on Jotunheim, Freya came and asked him how to get her Valkyrie wings back, and when you return to her hut, Mimir says that she's probably planning her revenge on them.

[@MrDibara]

A Ghost Without a Past I really hope we can pull her out of the path of vengeance in the next title. If not, then at least that something will happen and she'll eventually give it up. It's only a small hope I have. I really like Freya and I would rather we did not have to kill her. Chances are we will, though.

[@kainepeterson6638]

As much as I love the old VA for Kratos, TC Carson, Christopher Judge just knocks this shit out of the park. The lines are incredibly well written, but the agony in his voice while he’s begging Freya for help, and then the softness and genuine panic in his voice when he tells her “he is ill” just breaks my heart. Judge absolutely deserves every single praise he got for this performance. The game would not be the same without him. And after everything Kratos has seen of the gods, of Olympus and Asgard, he actually tries to apologize to Freya and even trusts her just at her word. A mother’s word. That’s how much he cares for Atreus. He would abandon even his hatred of the gods simply to keep from losing that boy, the only good thing he has ever brought into the world.

[@M_W_L_F]

I think Carson and Judge both perfectly portrayed their different versions of Kratos.

[@jessicaconner1242]

6:48 the desperation in kratos voice

[@twitchsopamanxx]

"Somebody just called the serpent" Kratos back in time, explaining that they cannot see their old selves.

[@slaywee]

7:15 man i love how the studio add so much intense scene to this character, like can you imagine this guy who kills gods and titans with his bare hands who solve every problem with his blades and fist and THIS problem he doen't know how to solve it. No rage or Blades can help kratos at this moment to save his son. This is so amazing especailly when i heard about this scene from Cory himself in the interview.

Agent Gambut nah, those blades got him through ascension, chains of Olympus, and 99% of one. It’s the blades of Athena and exile that killed the Greek pantheon

[@MrDibara]

Twocoolman115 The similarities are too real, though. Plus, the Blades of Chaos were the pretty much the starting point in which he became a monster.

[@JK_Snacks]

Man, the part where he's extremely anxious and starts walking around nervously in the elevator shows how much he, the Ghost of Sparta cares for his son.

[@Frikcha]

7:27 lmao Freya was just like "alright wow, I'm not even gonna touch that right now lets just fix the kid"

[@zaneoosthuizen8613]

In all 3 previous games ive seen Kratos as nothing more than a ruthless warrior born for combat... But ive never seen him so scared not even in the face of gods and monsters

[@Adam-tt6dz]

“That’s a mother’s promise.” And then we have to kill Baldur. Seeing Freya get choked up and want to make Kratos suffer as much as possible made me feel more conflicted than I have in any other game. Fuck me dude.

[@lilvic7788]

WHO BLEW THE HORN???

[@busterr18]

Lil Vic Loki from the future

[@MrDibara]

Lil Vic That is a really good question. Many theorize who could it be. The most widespread theory is that it was Loki from the future, but if it was, we don't know what his reasons were for. At this point, we're gonna have to wait for the next game. It's all just speculation and as far as we know, it could've been someone else entirely.

[@TH-ix8do]

Maybe heimdall will be in the next one since he can look into the future maybe he blew the horn since he is the one that notifys everyone that ragnarok is starting in norse mythology.

[@michaelterrell2108]

Atreus most likely..

[@Showgingah]

The two main theories are Loki through time travel, or Kratos becoming Tyr through time travel.

[@carlosanchez6933]

5:47 you know shits really bad when Kratos starts pacing

[@legoame104]

When Kratos tries to explain to Freya why he was so mad with her, she responds: "No need to explain, not to me, not for that." And in God of war Ragnarok Freya does the same, Kratos reponds with the exact same words. What a good detail

[@phousefilms]

The scene of Kratos and Atreus is amazing, but the shot of Kratos rising and ignoring Modi's attacks after being incapacitated, and Modi's horrified response is amazing. And I'll add on the detail that the sky grows dark and stormy as Modi returns home to Thor empty handed, who is now delivering a beating to him.

[@Kncperseus]

Seeing Atreus fall unconscious literally drove him mad. He got a PTSD Flashback to all the times when he was helplessly forced to see loved ones taken or killed.

[@ViViDG]

7:30 this shows how incredible Odin's magic was, he easily created a ward for Helheim.

[@sellie96]

I think it was Baldur who blew the horn. Before the final battle began, Baldur said "I knew hurting the big snake would bring you two out in the open." He probably asked Jörmungandr if he knows where Kratos and Atreus are, but the serpent refused to tell him anything, thus he hurt him.

[@rena8215]

Mate this is way earlier than the last fight

[@nohemi6899]

Baldur can't speak Jotun though and I don't think Jormungandr would appreciate Odin's son calling him to find his allies. He's destined to defeat Thor, one of the most powerful Gods in the Norse pantheon. So, I doubt Baldur would get anything out of him other than a hiss and big ol' snake bite.

[@Dinoross]

@@nohemi6899 My guess is it was Tyr, since he was helping the giants in the past and we don't know if he's dead or alive.

[@floridaman2806]

@@Dinoross tyr was missing at this point

[@lilchaos9212]

I doubt that Baldur even knew how to call the serpent. My bet is that it is either future Kratos or future Atreus/Loki that time traveled to the past like Jörmungandr did since they are the only ones aside from Mimir that know to use the horn and Atreus is talented in languages so he could probably have been taught by Mimir to speak to Jörmungandr.

A couple of things I love about this video 1 Modie’s accent I earned tha fuckin ammer 2 kratos’s parental instinct and desperation upon seeing Atreus hurt. 3 Freya’s sarcasm and resentment of Kratos to then rush to his aid to help Atreus Couple that with amazing voice acting and you get a powerful scene
