How is Athena in the higher plain of existence in the Comic, but then you say that she is from the caos realm??

[@KaptainKuba]

The one in comics (higher existence) is the real Athena. That's why she cares about Kratos and humanity. The one from God of War 3 isn't really Athena, it's just an evil being posing as her to get on Kratos' good side. This evil being has also taken the form of the rift in Ragnnarok and the giants animals from the comics

you remember when kratos stabbed himself with the blade of olympus in the end of GOW3 . i think athena quoted this to gods of higher existence " that was meant for me, they will not know what to do with it" and then she said " you disappoint me spartan". and then he didn't die . because he changed for good . and then i think his immortality is not a curse but a blessing from higher existance as he changed from evil to good and can be useful to gods in future

[@godzillazfriction]

you can't determine 'change' - because 'change' is an abstract or a paradoxical concept by nature. it alludes to the 'idea of change' and how that gets determined but in actuality, that gets contradicted because of nature not being able to determine actual 'change' - so with that notion within the Human Genome into bringing 'corruption' in regards to Higher Power alluding to change because of the 'Higher Power' - then you can't determine the 'change' because of Humans setting a higher power in general such as taking over lands, creating profit for the sake of profit etc. now it's where 'Redemption' comes along, and it is a form of 'change' - since you can't determine the idea of change within someone or anything by nature considering how it's contradictory by not being able to fight 'nature' within yourself as a human being... despite this, that doesn't mean you can't 'alter' to what's already inside of you and so for someone such as Kratos, his 'Redemption' isn't a thing to be determined with an idea of 'change' because it was always a built up thing for him that circumnavigated it's way into towards where Kratos was shaped into the circumstances that he was given and chose to abide and revel in it...

[@godzillazfriction]

also, thats a very one-noted stance that you have there in regards to Kratos being apparently 'eV_I' then 'changed' - to 'GuD' - there's no proof that Kratos sacrificed himself for Humanity, also this one-noted and generic dilemma between the realms in GoW as how this video suggested is really underwhelming... the whole dilemma of 'Good & E_iL' is stemmed from a subset of an idea that fixates on trying to give out 'meaning' onto Humanity, when in actuality goes against the very nature of what it means to be 'Human' - and instead forms a set of standards that gets objectified in truth of what a Human is supposed to be as and what it shouldn't be as... its simply allegorical and paradoxical by nature of this subset of an idea that has garnered over Human history; primarily in the Modern Era after the 19th or 20th century especially after the WW's... edit: 'Morality' as a concept also plays a major role of this, but i kinda forgot to intertwine with what I've elaborated.

This is amazing I love higher plane of existence theory’s, also something to think about is, Athena showed up right when kratos had to pick up the blades again, also when that red vortex showed up above kratos house, I know Matt sophos said it was all in his mind and she wasn’t there, but like you said in your previous video.. he said that in 2018 they could’ve changed the meaning of that scene where she actually is there, it would honestly make more since for her to be real there now. Writers minds change all the time.

6:00 That phrase reminded me of a talk in GOWR, when Kratos tells his son that even objects that may be "despicable" to him can be useful, which is why Kratos prefers to take advantage of the Blades of Chaos; since, in any case, they will never abandon him.

The blades of chaos follow Kratos because he pledged his soul to Ares and the blades are now a part of Kratos no matter what he does to them. And then with the evil Athena you gotta remember Pandora’s box was opened and even Helios said “it turned all the gods insane” (not EXACTLY what he said but its the important part that I remember)

And nobody ever talked about it anywhere.

[@RahelHKneedy]

7:30..........that part slipped my mind!

[@barty8895]

That makes sense. But you missed something. The Chaos beasts aren't some random animals. They are supposed to be Behemoth and Leviathan from the Bible. Behemoth (mainly portrayed as giant hippopotamus) is the unconquerable male land-monster, living in an invisible desert (Duidain) east of the Garden of Eden, and Leviathan is the primeval female sea-monster (mainly portrayed as giant crocodile). This gives this comic book even more depth now, when Kratos is capable of defeating those symbols of invincibility.

Damn, seeing this video got me more into thinking about the higher plane of existence and the chaos realm a lot more than before. Now I really want to see how the two realms will impact the next pantheon where Kratos and Atreus go to. Edit: I had a thought just then. If Egypt is where God of War 6 will be, then maybe that since there are two kings of the gods depicted, Amun and Ra, i was thinking maybe one king would be on the side of order, while the other would be fallen into the side of chaos. Maybe eventually in the egyptian story, they could fuse into Amun Ra as well (As Kuba mentioned in his 10 gods Kratos should fear video).

God of War 6 : Chaos and Order When Atreus goes to find the Giants he comes across a rift. He hears his kins trapped inside it. So he does his best to free them.He need the help of his father and Kratos happily agrees on. But as time passes by, Kratos gets more and more suspicious of this so called rift. So then the 2 are gonna argue about situation and at the end, Atreus gets to free the trapped giants, but he soon finds out that he was deceived. The thing he unleashed is a lot different and worse than that. And now they have to stop it to save the world meanwhile the corrupted egypt gods are gonna follow the chaos's orders and it's got to be Team Kratos (order) vs Team Chaos That would be sick

Atreus might be the next "tool" for the Chaos Realm, since he is the god of mischief after all

[@lunapixels]

Hey Kuba, brilliant theory! , my favourite so far. I have a few other distracting questions and thoughts bear with me, Athena's death in the OG series could have been part of her plan and even her form in the higher plane of existence could be a ruse. Also are we not falsely assuming the chaos realm is evil? If I've learnt anything from this series is that things are not always what they seem. The Egyptian god Thoth and Athena may appear to have good intentions in the higher plane but again we've learnt with gods in this series, using their power to control Kratos is often more out of selfishness and self interest than a desire to help him grow and be better. Based on your theory I would expand on it by highlighting that I think the fallen god comic lends itself to these other interpretations especially considering how the series has evolved thematically and emotionally, maybe order and chaos are both necessary. Maybe both realms are essential. Maybe not. I'm curious where SM will go but I have a feeling you've touched on a lot of what the story David Jaffe originally wanted to tell or direction he wanted to go with Kratos and with this theory I think we'll see an altered form of this be explored in the next game or 2. Great stuff man!

[@smaamirtyagdal3106]

as always a top tier theory. you never disappoint. coming back to the theory, if the theory turns out to be true then by the time kratos reaches the egyptian pantheon in upcoming gow games, egypt is already gonna be on the brink of desctruction since chaos has already spread there. i feel like with every passing pantheon that the games cover, the whole " plane of existence vs chaos realm " becomes more and more cemented. because the greek games only gave a hint of an higher plane of existence, the norse games introduced a rift which again indicates a different plane of existence. cory in the interviews has mentioned the existence of a whole ass universe beyond earth. so for all we know the epyptian games (assuming theyre gonna be next) will dive deeper into and potentially either show us glimpses of the higher planes or introduce demiurge/his equivalent (whatever they wanna call him). it makes me crazy excited just thinking about it. but i feel like they aged kratos too much for the norse games so i really dont know if he will be able to play through another pantheon or two, unless the studio plans on making atreus the mc (which im not a fan of. i want the greek kratos back 😤).

[@Unkle_Genny]

I think Kratos needs to get the Assassin’s Creed Revelations treatment. That game, the final one in the Ezio Auditore trilogy of games, wraps up the story of Ezio incredibly well. If GOW 6 gave the end of Kratos’s story anywhere near as much beautifully done closure as Revelations did Ezio’s, then we’re gonna be in for quite the treat!

[@Humblegod33]

Very good theory, me - as gnostic lover and researcher, this sounds very consciously and connecting dots, i was always looking for something more behind god of war, bcs those archetypes are nonstop with us. Nothing is more satisfying than Kratos beatin Demiurge / Ahriman in their game, which is physical reality.

[@ebusive]

If Loki/Atreus gets his own game, I want it to be him uncovering Athena's overall scheme and discovering secrets about this higher plane of existence. This can lead to a follow up where Kratos and Atreus become the main characters in an overall larger conflict between this higher plane and the chaos realm. I love Kratos but he's not known for his brains. I can't see him uncovering these mysteries, even with help.

itd be so terrifying to realize that Athena, one of Kratos' manipulators, actually ascended to a higher plane of existence. Also it was Baldur who blew the horn.

[@joeykuczkowski419]

I like this. I would add that Athena not only knew the blades would be useful to Kratos but he would also overcome the curse by embracing the blades and using them to save a life. Which is why the chaos Athena made one last attempt at breaking Kratos before he saved Atreus.

[@josecuestas7246]

To be honest, i always though that Athena was the true main antagonist and master-mind, behind all the events of the original trilogy. Because if you analyzes it, Athena was always influencing and molding Kratos to her need during the games, adding that Athena showed be far more manipulative than Ares, Zeus or Gaia, to always act like a "moral compass" for Kratos, as manner to gain his trust. Even, i dare to say that her apparent ultimate sacrifice in God of War 2 to saves Zeus, was also part of her schemes, as maybe Athena already knew that she become an Astral being after died, making that she accept this to become a "higher being", and as bonus, makes that Kratos feels guilt for accidentally causes her demise, to makes him more willing to listen her in God of War 3. But even as Kratos noted, her sudden "change of heart", from protect Zeus to all cost, to be planning his demise, lift red flags to Kratos, making him weary from Athena, even if he was cooperating with her by the time being. And his suspects become true, when Athena want to reclaims the Hope power for herself, leading to that Kratos spoiled her plans to deliver the Hope to the mortals instead, leaving the corrupt goddess with the empty hands, much to her chagrin. Adding the fact that for the events of God of War (2018), Athena was still harboring a grudge in Kratos, showing that possibly her ambitions weren't caused by the Greed evil, but she was always a hungry power goddess, because the Hope power unleashed should purges the evils of Pandora Box, proving that Athena was never an innocent goddess that was corrupted, but she was always a corrupted goddess.

[@hayday344]

far more manipulating than Zeus, are you serious?

[@josecuestas7246]

@@hayday344 Yeah. Because Zeus was more open to showcase his negative traits, like paranoid, even before to be corrupted by the Fear evil, like when he ordered that Deimos, the apparent Marked warrior, was banished to Thanatos's domain, out of fear for the Olympus. While that Athena, she was always portrayed like a selfless goddess, that hide better her negative traits, to the point to fooled Kratos for more longer than Zeus, making that he discovered her true intentions for the final parts of the events of God of War 3, while that in the case of Zeus, Kratos started to see his shady intentions since the end of God of War 1, making him less manipulative than Athena in some aspects.

@@hayday344 To be honest, even if she was seemingly nicer than the other gods, i still think that Athena had a personal agenda, even prior to be infected by the Greed evil, because this evils only amplifies the dark sides from their hosts, like the paranoid of Zeus, the grudges of Hades, and the envy of Heracles, as all them already had this negative traits even before to be corrupted by the evils, implying that Athena was already an ambitious goddess, even deep down, that want to overthrow Zeus, though that through cunning than brute force like Ares.

This is all too fascinating. But I’m guessing Athena herself was a vessel since the beginning. When she initially set out to abduct kratos with ares, I somehow think she knew who the marked warrior was supposed to be.

Thank you bro! 🥹

[@niekdehaan7867]

Could we ever see kratos and atreus face off at the end? I mean if there was ever a god suiting for the chaos realm it would be loki… and with kratos being dedicated to restore order he would be on the side of the higher plane🤔

[@KaptainKuba]

I see what you're saying but I think it would betray Atrsus' character. The only way I see Atreus fighting Kratos is if he somehow travels back in time to Greece and comes across younger Kratos. But I'm not sure how the writers could pull that off

[@niekdehaan7867]

@@KaptainKuba yeah i agree with you, but you never know how Atreus might grow up. Loki from mythology sounds like a perfect fit for the chaos realm

One of the best theories you’ve made CAPTAIN 👨‍✈️

[@GodlyODB]

Kratos blades were stated by SMS to be made from the primordial goddess chaos and imbued with primordial fire as well. The blades of chaos really have never been fully fleshed out by SMS so hopefully we get some truth to this theory in a later game.

[@ZarrarTheLegendary]

Which could also explain the whole blades of exile plothole. Makes sense. Chaos realm and Blades of Chaos.

[@Josh_Hammond]

It's a cool Theory especially since the mask and rift was teased and so far hasn't been answered yet but maybe in future God of war games though maybe the rift and mask are there to symbolize wanting answers or whatever your heart desires and having Atreus broke the mask and close the rift shows Atreus rejecting shortcuts to things that'll come at a high price.

[@KratosThor7709]

Oh my God of War, really this is the best theory⁉‼. Really I loved this video.

[@praveenvasu1512]

Actually in the concept art of atreus we have an evil version where he puts on the mask and his appearance have green glows

[@kratos9954]

This gotta be one of the best theories ever

[@KaptainKuba]

Well thank you kind sir

[@florgeysteve]

Sounds like a good idea for an overarching story. Plus it seems plausible, order and chaos has always been a big theme.

[@KaptainKuba]

Exactly! We're really close to getting the higher plane baby!

[@GhOsT_RiLeY1984]

By the way there is a Skin named Phantom of CHAOS in God of War 3, its Sus, because of the Name CHAOS, Maybe this has something to do with the Demiurge

[@DarknessIsTheTruth]

Somewhere out there, the trio of Artemis, Apollo and Aphrodite are chilling and grateful that they never fucked around with Kratos.

Is it possible that we might get introduced to the Hp lovecraft mythos considering that these ancient gods embody chaos

[@Eclipse-6517]

I wonder if Odin ravens have to do anything with this too. The ones we destroy are also that weird green color

[@mounvile3411]

Kuba lets say athena is on the chaos side trying to get kratos to destroy the earth to create everything from scratch and apollo is on the good side who's helping kratos and has succeeded so far and tyr who's been to greece is working with apollo thats why he invited kratos into Valhalla to clear his mind and make him calm and reasonable and to not get overtaken by his anger

[@jormun_jormie10]

I think Brok or Sindri blew the horn. I imagine them being like "what does this do?"

[@clay391]

Well, Athena is a goddess of warfare also, so it would make sense to use her as an antagonist eventually

[@GamersDogma]

You have given us a lot to think about. First, I think there are two athenas. One is with thoth in the higher plane trying to help kratos by telling him to return home. And the second is a trick by this entity in the chaos realm. I think when the chaos athena changed the blades of athena into the blades of exile, the blades were cursed to follow the god of war. But for what purpose? Second, chaos is an entity mentioned in Greek mythology. The one whom created the universe. What if chaos wants to unmake the universe by using kratos to cause as much chaos as he can. By killing off the main pantheons of greek, norse and Egyptian myth, it would make way for chaos to take control of creation. Ares might have been nothing but a simple pawn in its schemes. I believe that in the god of war 1 novel, Ares travelled to Egypt and attacked the gods there. He also gave kratos the blades of chaos. Was that chaos at work? Whatever happens, kratos seems to be caught in the middle. He is the embodiment of order and chaos: "In mythical eschatology the origin of the world is reproduced at the end of the world; that is, the process of creating order out of chaos that occurred at the beginning of time occurs again at the end of time". Google search. Perhaps kratos is the catalyst for the end of the world and the beginning of the next. After all, he is death. The destroyer of worlds.

[@av_8596]

What gods do you think will take the side of the Chaos Realm and which will side with the Higher Plane? Not just Egyptian and Norse, I’m talking Aztec and Japanese as well.

[@jmgonzales7701]

Man i just wanna see deimos again, i just want him to be what kratos is but in other dimensions or mythology.

[@Unkn4wN_TM]

I personally find this higher plane of existence theory hilarious, mainly because there's barely any convincing evidence. There are things that correlate with each other, but correlation does not equal causation. At the moment we're looking at correlations, but we don't know whether those correlations are caused by the same thing. For example, we know that there is a correlation between ice cream and sunburns, and if we didn't know any better, we could say ice cream causes sunburn, but we know that they correlate because both happen due to hot weather. With this higher plane of existance theory, we don't know the cause of these correlations yet, so even if it all makes a lot of sense, it could be that they have nothing to do with each other. This green color seems to be very very convincing tho, and it would be crazy if this was just a big coincidence. Regardless I'm all here for it, because it does make a lot of sense, and it could be something that would realistically happen. I just find it funny whenever someone talks about the higher plane of existence because it sounds like such an exxagerated word🤣 Edit: And we also gotta be very careful. Lots of people got disappointed with Ragnarok due to expecting too much. I'm all for theories, but if the games don't end up going anything like the theories, I'm fine with that.

[@russdunnett5997]

it would be cool if the next sequel somehow the evil gods go after atreus and kratos has to save him and accept his role in the fight

[@venjustice6666]

Definitely has to be true because when you state that chaos is in Egypt that’s literally the way of Egypt they try to fight against chaos it’s basically the Typhon or Ragnarök of Egypt and also Set/Seth is the Egyptian god of Chaos who pretty much is evil and faces against the other gods and in some myths he is the god of war others he isn’t but very similar and he was very dangerous just like young Kratos so it would be a very good fight to see and it makes sense.
