    I read a comment once about Kratos it was a theory that says that the new games spartan rage is young Kratos’ default state in the Greek games because the Norse rage makes Kratos faster and stronger like in the Greek games, but in the Greek games that was his normal state, which suggests that the Greek gods are much stronger than the Norse gods, AND a developer said that if Norse Kratos wasn’t holding back it wouldn’t be a competition.

    Two things - Thor at a younger age could have been (and most likely was) as insane as Kratos, he just didn't have the willpower to rebell and kill everybody. He then became heavy drinker and by the time of the story, he just recently stopped drinking. After the initial battle, his power only goes down as he gets back into drinking heavily and being depressed. Also, the first fight goes down after Kratos defeats Baldur and is fully aware of what the norse are capable of, so the amount of holding back can be questioned to an extent, too.

    Young Kratos was a monster. He may not be as strong as Old Kratos, but that's like pointing out that a Buffalo is stronger than a Lion. Strength isn't everything, young Kratos's savagry was literally the stuff of legend. He ripped off Helios' head & both of Hermes' legs. Just imagine what he would've done to Baldur or Heimdall, let alone this washed-up version of Thor.

    At the risk of offending most of the people tuning in on this post - because I think a lot of people reading this might tie into the South European pantheon of gods than to the Scandinavian - I will reply to a couple of responses i just got to an earlier post I made in regards to Zeus and Odin, who I thought would win in a fight. I said I thought Odin would win, and I got someone to remind me that Odin was prophesied to die, and Zeus would not. The other said that Zeus had Medusa's head carved into a shield, or something, and would turn Odin to stone.😅😅😅 My opinion is that if we went strictly by mythology, Odin and Zeus are not even close. Odin is way ahead. Zeus is more comparable to Thor. And it is publications like Marvel comics that scale Thor's powers down, so the character might be more relatable and interesting. Thor is also a sky god, only slightly weaker than his father, Odin. Here are a few points I would like to make in explanation: - 1. We all agree that neither one of these two gods (Odin and Zeus) is the progenitor of their pantheons, right? There were other, older gods that began their pantheons. And these younger gods came later and took over. 2. At that point of taking over, in my opinion, I would place them all at par with one another. I don't want to go into who had a tougher fight defeating their father, or their ancestral deity. A very good case could be made either way, and in the absence of further evidence to the contrary, I would say that Zeus and Odin were equal in power right after the Titanomachy. I mean, to become the rulers of their respective pantheons, Zeus with eleven brothers and sisters, together with the Hecatoncheires and the Psyclopes defeated the Titans. Odin with his two brothers, Villi and Ve defeated Ymir, the ancestral deity (like Uranus) responsible for the races, giants and dwarves. I would put both achievements at par with one another, unless again there is evidence, not supposition, to the contrary. 3. Shortly after that Odin, Villi and Ve created the human race. And soon after that, the prophesy of Ragnarok was made known to the brothers. Knowing that they lacked sufficient power to prevent Ragnarok from happening, the brothers Villi and Ve decided to sacrifice themselves and put their powers into Odin, so that Odin would be strong enough to avert the disaster. Now if the saying, "The whole is greater than the sum of its parts" holds true in this case, then I would submit that at that point that Odin became more than 3 time more powerful than he previously was. He became more powerful than the addition of his power, Villi's power and Ve's power. I would put his power level at the very least 4 (Four) times what it previously was. That also means four times what Zeus, who has not gotten any power boost, has. 4. Shortly after that, Odin, who is now four times more powerful than he previously was goes on a quest in search of answers to what he might do to avert Ragnarok. He travels the nine realms and soon comes upon the well of Ymir. It is revealed to him that he needs to make a major sacrifice to get his answers. So he plucks out an eye, throws it into the well, and water gushes out. He drinks of the water and knows that he needs to be near the point of death for the answers he seeks to come to him. So he hands himself on Yggdrasil, the tree of life, and stays hung for nine days. When he was at the very point of death, the secret of the runes was revealed to him. He is now a master of deciphering the runes. That, in my opinion represents another significant power boost. So he is now at least ten times more powerful than he previously was. Which is also ten times Zeus' power level, if you have been following me so far. 5. It was also revealed to Odin that if he wants to avert the disaster of Ragnarok, he needs to have a son that will surpass him. A protector of the gods and of man. Odin, a god of the skies, makes contact with Gaia, the embodiment of the earth, and together they bring forth Thor. The protector of gods and man. Let me also point out that Gaia is the mother of Kronos, Zeus' father. So, through Gaia, Zeus might actually address Thor as, 'Uncle!' 6. So, Odin, at ten times Zeus' power level has a son with the earth goddess. Can you have a more divine birth than that? But it didn't end there. Loki plays a trick and cuts off Thor's wife's hair. Thor threatens to kill Loki, Loki in trying to save his skin promises to replace the hair. In his attempt to do so, he makes contact with two dwarven families, craftsmen of surpassing skill both. And gets them to compete with one another in making wondrous things including a replacement for Thor's wife's hair. To make a very long story short, the result of the competition also produced Mjolnir, an incredibly powerful hammer so heavy that only Thor could lift it. And Gungnir, a heavenly spear. A symbol of Odin's supreme authority. Gungnir is said to possess many properties, most notably of which is the fact that when thrown, it never misses its target, it can pierce through anything (that means it can pierce through Zeus) and any oath sworn on the spear is unbreakable. In my opinion, that is yet another power boost in Odin's favor. 7. The fact that the Asgardian gods are prophesied to die at Ragnarok is the very reason why Odin did the things he did, and took his power to a ridiculous level. The prophesied death of the Asgardian gods at Ragnarok is not a testament to their inferiority or weakness. It is testament to just how horrendous Ragnarok is. Odin can tap Gungnir on the ground a speak an oath that will render every single weapon in Zeus' possession ineffective, including the aegis. You speak of Medusa's shield? Odin can render the aegis itself powerless. If any one should know how to do that, that person is Odin. 8. Zeus is more comparable to Thor. Marvel comics is the one scaling Thor's power down, making him more relatable, and putting Zeus ahead of him. In spite of all that, Odin is still too far ahead for me to realistically compare Zeus to Odin.

    I don't understand this theory that somehow Kratos is any weaker then he was when he was younger. He simply doesn't have all his greek magic and powers he had and in this new pantheon, new world of gods of norse mythology he develops norse seidr magicks instead. HE is still at the same strength physically as a god and is obviously still one buff mofo, this idea that he is 'weaker' just because of the differences in game play is in theory only, santa monica has never specifically, explicitly stated that kratos is 'weaker' by any stretch of the imagination. This idea comes from fans who prefer how powerful he 'seemed' in the older games due to the difference in those being straight up action games where the two newer god of war gams play more like rpgs.
