That first interaction highlights for me a really interesting difference between Mel and Zag: Zag was always super polite and kind to basically everyone, even people who annoy or dislike him, even Theseus at first. Except his dad, but he had good reason for that paternal animosity. With Mel, it's kinda the opposite. She's a lot more dismissive, more confrontational, and less willing to play along. Granted, that's also very understandable, but the fact Chronos even calls her out for her rudeness despite her not knowing who he is makes me wonder how Zag would've handled that interaction.
With how damn affable Zagreus usually is, there's a good chance that he would have told Chronos the truth, or at least a version of it. Given his rotten luck, sometimes it probably would have backfired.
chronos has such a neat design, tbh. agreeing with others here on his more egypyian-looking and more angelic design, which helps showcase his position as a titan elder. (ironic, as i believe chronos himself is the youngest of the titan siblings born from gaia and ouranous?) the way they incorporated his famous sickle is also brilliant. it's his most recognizable and famous bit to his character, a weapon granted to him by his mom to overthrow his father, and they also incorporate it as him using it as a cane! also, the golden scars on his body is neat considering chronos was cut into pieces and then was put back together. the scars trace where he was sliced and diced and the pieces stitch back together. my one question is i seem to remember hearing chronos was titan of the harvest, not tian of time. am i wrong?
There are various interpretations of Chronos. Others being Cronus and Kronos. Depending on the interpretation, he's either the Titan of the autumn harvest, the Titan of the autumn harvest and time, or even the primordial of time. The Hades 2 interpretation pulls aspects from these variations. Fun fact: The gold scars on his body might be a reference to Japanese Kintsugi art. Which was the art of welding broken things, primarily dishes and pottery, together again; which would leave gold lines where the cracks and pieces were put back together.
@@pedrorosa9893 still better than trying to eat her. Besides. He is Chronus. According to Ovid, he used to control both land, sea, underworld, and nature by himself, even commanding when it’s time for harvest and other stuff. Not to mention he created men of gold. Absolute control is kinda his thing. And seeing as they gave him powers of Chronos in the game, he is literally time incarnate in here. Over all. Pretty good progress
@@iwantddie oh I get what you mean,her traits are attributed to Hecate. Neat. I doubt she's Hecate of any sort, since a character already exists with that name, but the design relation is neat.
The fact that he looks more Egyptian than Greek is an amazing idea.
The Egyptian civilization is older isn't it? That's actually not a bad bit of storytelling if that was the intent.
He definitely looks more egyptian. Maybe because the whole "sands of time" thing? Either way i kinda like it
Greek and Egyptian mythology had quite a bit of overlap.
It's idiotic along with the majority of the models.
When bloody GoW has more lore accuracy than your models you know you fucked up ...

When Melinoe speaks to Chaos, they say that the new spawn of Hades is far less amusing than the first. Could be linked to what you said

Zagreus would have somehow ended up befriending chronos and convincing him to reconcile with his kids 😅
so much venom in his voice
His VA does a brilliant job

i think i heard greek myhtology is related to egyptian mythology, like i heard when typhoon attacked olympus the gods fled to egypt
@@grine0012 Correct, in fact notice how they took the forms of animals as they did. The animals they become correlate to an Egyptian god.
What is a harvest if not the conclusion of the passage of time? Io Saturnalia!
Sounds like Logan Cunningham again? If it is this man's versatility is incredible!
I'm sure that's Cunningham, that's his 'narrator's' voice from pyre
Ah. He likes her. Or at the very least wants to get to know her. For a man who eat his own kids, he is a pretty good grandpa.
He just want to control her
Grandfather and great grandfather, considering that Persephone is the daughter of Demether(and arguably Zeus in some myths).

@@svnwukong Demeter, Hera and Hestia are Hyperion's daughters in the game lore, because they didn't want to deal with the consamguinity haha
@@phaerlax understandable, but don't they still call each other brother and sister?
I thought he was chaos, but he's the blasted خرونوس 🗿💔
Yoo they combined Chronos and Kronus
First
No. Chaos was first
Mel is Hecate! She totally her.
Hecate is her teacher though
Melinoe is the Goddess of Madness and Nightmare, Hecate is the Titaness of Magic and Liminal places or Sites of power, like Crossroads
@@calliecalamity8787 from another timeline. We cannot see her eye. Her arm is locked in Ferrum
