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.

So my friends....who's here after the trailer? TYR IS COMING!

[@h2llywood]

I am lol

[@aaronperalta3560]

As soon I heard the name Tyr I tried to do some research here

THIS MAKES IT EVEN AWESOME

[@ardynamikaze4244]

Yep yep yep

[@NewGuy2534]

Mimir: He was a God of war who brought peace. Kratos: I brought peace, too. A little piece of Ares. A little piece of Hades. A little piece Athena. And a little of piece Zeus.

A God of War, but he used his knowledge to promote peace instead. Damn I'm sure Kratos felt something when Mimir said that, considering his own stint.

[@DragonoidBerserker1]

I thought the same thing

[@kingofthekos]

Tyr is an older Kratos so I'm sure he did when he heard it. Probably what sent him on the path.

[@biggibbly7471]

Ok here is a crazy theory. What if Odin has Imprisoned Tyr? Within the game, Mimir gives several examples of Odin doing whatever it takes to horde all knowledge for himself. And we know that Tyr traveled everywhere and probably gained a whole lot of knowledge. Thats why we haven't seen Tyr at all. I swear if this is revealed in God of War 5, I will flip out.

[@jeremesmith9266]

Gabriel Meyer part of me thinks Mimir is Tyr, who had some of his memories blocked off by Freya/Odin so he couldn’t remember his own identity. But he was imprisoned in a tree to be used as a knowledge resource for the Aesir whenever they needed.

[@BrandonCassaday]

Actually there is a Giant's mural in Tyr's Temple you find that shows Tyr chained at his ankles and his neck with Odin and Thor standing above him. I think your theory will be proven correct in the next game that Tyr IS alive and being held somewhere in Asgard parhaps in the lower area of Odin's palace.

[@johnbadecao2870]

@@jeremesmith9266 the most probable theory i could get behind. I mean the similarities are too great to miss. They are knowledgable about the world beyond their own. They witnessed a lot of events happening between gods not to mention is a difficult chance for a mortal. And the eyes, like as if the giants have spare to give to a mortal chancellor

[@johnbadecao2870]

@@jeremesmith9266 also the way he he seems too close to kratos that he would address him as a brother ( both gods of war ). He also seem to be close to everyone despite being just a reference for a certain race of gods. Its just that maybe the curse wasn't just him being bound to a tree but also having his life rewritten since odin needs tyr for joutenheim but does not need his principle.

Ares in mythology was actually a True God of War. he did need war,yes, however he symbolized passion,bravery and respect for women.

[@Bobby.2000]

O have a feeling Tyr will be seen as a mad man/god after the next game.

[@emperorofinception3571]

There are different interpretations of these things to my understanding. Clearly Tyr was shown to be a god of war in a different sense than his Greek counterparts. Obviously he knows a great deal about war and desires to avoid it.

[@nz7677]

Didn't Mimir say it was too stop Odin?

[@EmptyMan000]

Yes. He was Odin's Number One Enemy. He had to be careful when dealing with him, so he set up traps so Odin couldn't steal from him

ReaperOfTheNorthLegion Pretty sure he's going to acquire Surtr's fire blade that gives the final blow come Ragnarok, the death of Baldur kick started it already so that's where we're headed. Thor is supposed to die seconds after defeating the world serpent due to his venomous bite. Atreus is supposed to be Loki which means he fathered the world serpent and in the game when he's asking Kratos what powers he will have, he asks if he could turn into a wolf and Kratos tells him to surprise him ... what if he turns into the wolf that kills Odin in ragnarok? that's supposed to be another one of Loki's children but the game is different of course. The next game might top this one, really excited for the future of these characters

[@Divinemakyr]

the gods in japanese culture are nice so they probably would not fight kratos, he only kills gods when they try to kill him first

[@JonathanTaylor85]

Wild imaginations some people have. They've already said this God of War series isn't a quest for revenge, or Kratos repeating what he did to the Greek Pantheon. This isn't his story either -as the game says at the end. It's Atreus'. Kratos will likely die and stay dead based on the mural at the end of the game (Kratos appears to be laying dead in Atreus' lap with what looks like a rock, or hammer lodged in his skull), or play a side role as Atreus comes of age in the next two games. He's not ending the Norse Gods like the Greek Pantheon. I don't really understand the weird fetish some GoW fans have with that. It's makes for a poor story to just keep repeating the same thing over, and over again as well. As the developers have said.

[@Divinemakyr]

6:25 dammmn when Atreus told Kratos "and you're good" you could feel the mixed great joy and guilt Kratos felt. This game is so beautiful, like wow, an excellent continuation to the series. Kratos is simply trying to teach his son better and be an example for him, but he must do so while overcoming/accepting all his past atrocities done. You could really understand, who am I to teach my son to be a good being if i did so many horrible things in my past? A question I'm sure many of us ask ourselves when struggling to improve ourselves. Cheers !

[@fuckyoutubecomments7530]

Do you think Kratos was thinking of his brother and how it could have been different when he saw how Brok and Sindri were getting along?

[@justinvarghese6852]

I don't think so. It's not the same. His brother was forcefully taken away from him right in front of his own eyes when Kratos and Deimos were only children. The only reason Deimos hated Kratos when he finally found him in Thanotos's realm is because he was trapped there for so long he believed his brother forgot about him and no one was coming to rescue. So it's kinda like "Oh now you show up to free me? After all these years I've been tortured by Thanotos? Well fuck you. It's too late!" And thus that was that. But they did reconcile briefly in the end, and fought Thanatos together, brother standing with brother once more. So before Deimos died, at least Kratos finally got forgiven by his brother and he died fighting alongside him.

[@stalkerzackden3297]

But god damn is it sad The only time Kratos get to meet Deimos again was very brief. They fight and it ends up with Kratos surrendeting as he dosent want to hurt his brother. And even when they start fighting together, Diemos dies just after the battle against Thanatos

I love this whole sequence of events involving Tyr. It gives Kratos a real introspective of his own unimaginably bloody past as the God of War of his own pantheon, so brutal that legends of him spread across the world, even appearing in Tyr's collection and the Giants' monument. This game gives us so much closure for a man, now old, who was once plagued by so much rage that he can now barely feel it anymore, but still remembers all the pain it brought him.

[@rondorthecruel124]

Interesting that at 4:28 every treasure on that table is covered in cobwebs, but the wine has none on it and the vase only has 3 thin strands. This could imply that they have not been there long at all compared to everything else, and that Tyr returned with them not long prior to Kratos entering the Norse realm. Of course it's also possible that the developers just didn't want to animate 40,000 cobweb strands since Kratos needs to interact with the objects, lol, but still it stands out as odd to me.

You know, I've never thought of this, but perhaps Tyr saw what happened with the Greek God of War and decided that it would not be the end for his world. He decided he would be different and give peace a chance. Too bad Odin was evil. Perhaps this isn't a story of Kratos, but a story of Tyr's decisions and how Kratos is chosen by fate to be justice for Tyr. A god of war, who decided to give peace a chance despite his nature, was unjustly cut down because of evil. Only a greater more primal evil is needed to bring justice to that.

When you think about it, Tyr is literally the polar opposite of Ares as a God of War. Tyr: peaceful, resorted to violence as a last resort, preferred diplomacy over combat, despised mindless bloodshed Ares: lived for violent and bloody combat, openly attacked anyone and everyone, wouldn't stop until everyone on the battlefield was dead For a war god, Tyr seemed like a really nice guy

[@uzairbinshabbir]

That's what it means having command over something compared to him ares maybe was a god of violence or bloodshed but he wasn't very wise but that's just my take on the character.

[@emperorofinception3571]

@@uzairbinshabbir Ares (based on what I saw when watching walkthroughs of the games) seemed to be a bloodthirsty warrior who thrived in combat and death. While he could lend his power to others and command armies of men and monsters, he did not display much concern over their deaths in battle clearly seeing them as a means to an end. He may have been a god of war, but clearly he was not a leader. Kratos was one although by his own admission he doesn't consider himself a good one. Just my impression.

[@uzairbinshabbir]

@@emperorofinception3571 Yeah I agree I am loving this new shift in Kratos' personality lets just hope they don't kill him by the end of the series I would appreciate if the ending is somewhat similar to uncharted 4.

[@emperorofinception3571]

@@uzairbinshabbir I would like something of a happy ending for him as well. Or at least a practical ending (which in this case means he doesn't end up killing everyone and everything again). Having never played the uncharted games I don't know what you are referring to. That being said while a part of me is worried about Kratos dying (That is always a possibility in stories, films, or games and it makes things remain interesting) another part of me thinks if he does die it will be the same as his death in God of War 3. Namely a death so that he can go to another region and kill more gods. I honestly am beginning to think that the game writers won't be satisfied until every god in every pantheon is dead one way or another by his hands.

"We can flip the temple." "What."

[@brandonwallace1725]

Its almost like Tyr designed his entire temple and its trials so that only Kratos could complete them. Kratos also seems to have the exact same principles as Tyr, he is well-traveled and knows of other pantheons just like Tyr, he held the exact same divine title as Tyr, he befriended the Giants just like Tyr, he married a Giant.... who believed enough in him enough to have a child with him and etch a series of events about the both of them onto a wall in her realm. Tyr either goes back in time to start the entire prophecy of Ragnarok, or Kratos somehow becomes Tyr himself. Tyr is even shown on a mural giving a talisman that represents day/night (Skoll/Hati) to the Greeks... which they sorely would've needed after Kratos killed Helios... they feud with Thor, Faye gifts Kratos an axe that can rival Mjolnir... and on and on. It would be a pretty Tyr thing to do, given the way Mimir describes him, to write a prophecy about Kratos for Faye ... especially given Kratos' hard stance against fate.

[@warpstarrogue3554]

Yet Tyr while being the God of War used his power for peace and spreading knowledge. He would also travel outside his own realm to seek other gods wisdom and knowledge kinda how Uncle Iroh went to other nations for wisdom and knowledge.
