Totally being facetious here, but lions can survive up to 3 months between meals, so that is actually some very *very* hungry boys behind that door.

[@kairu_aname]

@@lordderppington4694 Actually no. Records indicate up to a month without food. That's with protection from predators and other lions. Now, if those same lions stop getting fed, we assume they stop getting water as well. Assuming their time to die is just a tad longer than humans on the scale of food(comparing mammals), then assuming just a tad longer on the scale of water intake is reasonable. On that front it's around 3 to 4 days for humans generally. So assuming roughly a little longer for lions would be about 4 to 5 days. So weeks(at least two), for captured animals that have been fed and watered every day, would indeed kill them.

One of the things Ragnarok got so right is Kratos' emotional range. He has actual friends now, people he trusts, not just hate and a goal. And it shows: He's willing to reminisce on his homeland, is less laconic, cares more openly about people and things. Part of the reason the Norns segment is so impactful is it brings his character into sharp relief against the man he once was.

[@squashmallow2006]

The best part is, he still maintains his stoicisms and discipline. But having said that, he's willing to still chill. Plus, he finally learned to be the type of man Atreus of Sparta was.

Well, seeing as he’s traveled and learned of Scottish folklore, Celtic, knows iconic Greek stories and that Greek gods suck, even knows and was part of Arthurian legend, ancient Egyptian culture, was in a Shakespeare play, was a part of Robin Hoods merry men, and made it to Norse. You’d expect he’d no about olives but I guess he didn’t try every Morsel of food

It's these small interactions that I love more about Ragnarok than the last game. Everyone raves in the game about Atreus growing up but even Kratos changed a lot between games. He's still short with convseration and grunts when he answers, but he says thank you regularly to Brok and Sindri, and even calls Mimir brother right back. Compare to at the start of last game, all that mattered to him was spreading Fayes ashes and then heading right back home to brood

[@pitchblack9053]

“I though Atreus would like the horse” Atreus kept this in mind and instead gifted Kratos a horse of his own, named it Sleipnir

[@warhawk9566]

Fun fact Perfectionist Squirrel was just called Laconic here The region of Greece Sparta is in, is called Laconia Spartans were pretty well known for their quick witted but short responses as Kratos demonstrates multiple times So the term Laconic (using few words) gets it's name from Spartans Which is probably why Kratos likes Perfectionist Squirrel

[@zer0theultimate]

Seeing Kratos express anything other than grunt or rage is strange but I love he's actually showing personality

[@SethWulfstone]

I appreciate Kratos now equally as much as he was before, I do wish they were different characters in a way. Vengeance filled Kratos was such an outstanding character that portrayed his rage very well, meanwhile this more retired God of War with his son is equally a pleasing experience with cold distance but still warmed by the occasional wholesome moment. I enjoy Kratos' character, both of them.

[@playstationarusu]

But if they're separate characters then there's no redemption for Kratos. The Greek saga is what makes the Norse saga so satisfying

Funny enough, a lot of my friends wonder why I love stew so much, why I’m always craving stew, as they view it as nothing special I told them “Guys, I don’t crave just stew, I crave my dad’s stew, I’ve eaten stew made by other people before, and even though they’re using pretty much the same techniques and recipes, it’s just my dad’s stew is special, it’s got nothing to do with the food itself, it’s the person making it, my mom’s meat sauce for spaghetti isn’t anything special, but I prefer it to any other, my grandma’s chicken, mashed potatoes and corn or peas isn’t anything special, certainly not something that only she can make, but I like it best when she makes it, it’s not about the food, it’s about who’s making it” Funny thing too, is that when my little sister gets sick, we just have packaged chicken noodle soup, and even though my dad and I use the same methods, she always wants me to make it, she always wants me to make the soup, because according to her “When Logan makes it, it tastes better” Maybe the term “Made with love” is legit
