This is what many people spend years in therapy trying to find. Know thyself young ones . Do not lose yourself in this world or become your own monsters.
One of the hardest parts of changing is accepting the past, accepting all that you’ve done and trying to move past and be a better person, Kratos spent GOW2018 and Ragnarok trying to run from his past but only through confrontation was he able to achieve any peace
This is the perfect ending for Kratos' story. Seeing Kratos facing his past self and taking responsibility for his past actions. Not mention, becoming the "God of Hope."
This is why mirror gazing is probably one of the most profound and intense forms of mediation you can do. Just staring at your own reflection in the eyes.
@@redmistbluemiss You gotta be proud of the man in the mirror, and if not, at the very least inspire him to do better. We'll get this shit one day bro, just dont get lost in your good looks. 😂

Guys.... Please stop.. I'm sorry... You're right, but I'm sorry, I refuse to believe it. "Today is a new day" Chicken Little once said. But damnit, I'm young, and yallre... Correct... I just.. what else am I gonna do. Some of my friends ended their lives in middle, others perished in different ways, all of them left in highschool. I'm tired okay? I love and appreciate everything both of you say. I'm just tired. Maybe it's my time too.
"You have *always* been more than what others saw." It really feels like a direct statement to those who said that the original run of GoW was a childish power-fantasy devoid of any substantive narrative, and that it had "finally" matured with the 2018 game's release. The guy's story was always there. Kratos was always a tragic figure, even though he was also no hero by any stretch of the imagination. All of Valhalla was a stupendous love letter to the OG God of War, and I'm so glad it exists to remind people of it and hopefully see it for what it always was.
I liked the part when Kratos sat down and then pulled Mimir out of his ass. It really ties the metaphor together, because unlike Mimir, we're all still inside Kratos' ass.
There’s so much about this scene that is just beautiful, but I just love that last line “Now? I believe…I would like to sit her for a while.” It may be a bit obvious but it feels like that line has a double meaning. 1. Kratos is a man who has spent his entire life just on the move. Whether he’s fighting, planning, leading an army, hiding from his past, he’s constantly on high alert and ready for anything. He is finally allowing himself to just sit down and relax for probably the first time in years. 2. It may also apply to the throne and the position of “God of War” that Freya offered him and that this is him accepting the role. He will likely sit on that throne of such authority for a while now that he feels ready for such a task. It may be so obvious but it’s still fun to think about nonetheless
I wanna send this to my dad. Tell him that we both must be better than our anger. For the sake of our children, our animals, our family, our friends, our loved ones, we must be better. I worry he will not be able to look past the cloud of anger and regret, and will not understand. I love my father, and I hate him. I must not become him. I have to break the cycle.
just sent this to my father. one of the few scenes in a game that made me bawl like a baby. who would ever think the old hack and slash series would turn into a piece of art. confronting such common issues nobody ever speaks about. this dlc was a masterpiece.
My dad disowned me bc I decided to change my name, but he and I share our same lustful and angry ways. Sometimes I can't control my anger but it's a sin of the father I live with. I try to be better than he was, but sometimes I'm too much the same man as mynfather
This hit really hard. I did something terrible at 16 to someone who genuinely loved me. I did it so callously and nonchalantly too. No reason and uncalled for. I’m 29 now and it still sits with me. I’ve spent my entire life trying to make up for it, but no matter what I do, the regret never truly diminishes. People say I was just a boy, but I know what I did. Even as a teenager, mistakes can follow you forever.
Satan knows how to attack all of us, we are NOT alone, we all need Jesus Christ only , NO religion, there is much more to the earth then meets the eye !!
Same, I did this three time First when I was a child second, it happen during as a teen third, it happen when I was a young adult And.......I did them very nonchalantly and careless too, I will never able to apologize to those who I hurt, nor they will accept it But I must try to be better, now realize those mistake Otherwise the cycle continues more viciously, more unnecessary fight
I don't know if your Christian or not, but God is real, and if you repent of your sins and hand your life over to him, he will forgive you of everything, past, present, and future.
has too be hard too face your self and everything he told his younger self was true he over time became heartless power hungry and cold but even with all that he was much more then that he is more then that.
@@SASUKEUCHIHA-dt3cg as an adult, it's entirely too embarrassing that YOU don't know the difference between "to" and "too".... go take some lessons in English, that is just sad
Me: “You ate like an idiot, blamed women for your loneliness, felt threatened by those who wanted to help you, and were terrified of trying something new! You wasted so much of your existence doing NOTHING! But you have ambition. You only need the ambition to show. You have ambition”
I would love to be able to tell my past self, who played the first two GOW games, "youre going to play a GOW game in the future that will be so emotional it will make you tear up". My past self would proceed to laugh me out of the room. Its amazing to see kratos develop into the character he is today.
Kratos went from the God of War to the God of Hope and Loki went from the God of Mischief to the God of Stories, both a month apart from each other God I love satisfying character arcs that take over decades
4:46 Mimir's smile after Kratos says he'd like to sit there for a while is everything. He's so genuinely happy that his friend Kratos has found his peace and new purpose
0:56 he realizes, he’s trying to blame another. That’s why he stops. And looks at pandoras figure, remembering what she said “hope makes us strong, it is why we are here. It’s what we fight with when all else is lost..” he remembered pandoras words. And that’s what guided him. Hope. Hope is what makes us strong. It’s the only way you can forgive yourself. If you accept what you’ve done. And realize you can grow, become better. “No more.. no more. For the sake of our children. We. Must. Be. BETTER.”
I know this is a late comment, but honestly, it's a really imoressive performance on christopher judges' part. To lead a scene solo, delivering a monologue to show kratos internal struggle. People underestimate how HARD that can be. There is no one to bounce dialogue off of. He alone has to carry that whole scene. When scenes like that are made, and the VA, art directors, and sound team all match perfectly you can make some of the greatest things. This while being better on the movie side that the game side, is better than most games or movies in that regard.
This is genuinely one of my new favorite moments in any video game. As someone who has been a fan of this series since the GOW1 & 2 bundle for PS3, it’s genuinely breathtaking to see this journey of Kratos go from a relentless monster to a genuinely remorseful yet hopeful man. Not to mention this speech… I feel like this is something a lot of us try to do but struggle greatly with; dealing with our past selves and the path we wrought, good or bad, that lead us to where we are now. There’s so much tension and anger looking into who he was, yet in that tension shines hope that he won’t become that same person, that he won’t make the same mistakes, and that he will be more than what others or even he saw. That tender “you are more than that. You have always been more than what others saw” and hearing it from Kratos of all people is seared into my memory and I always come back to this monologue just to hear it again.
As a piece of fan service it would have been good. As a dramatic moment, it would have been infinitely worse. The whole point of the scene is Kratos accepting that the person sat on that throne is him. There aren't two Kratos, it's just him accepting the worst of himself in order to bring out the best. A back and forth would cheapen it.
I'm also glad young Kratos didn't talk back. Ive seen so many people say they wish they had heard TC Carlson say something from the old model. I think it would have taken away from the self reflection, impact and deep meaning behind him talking to himself in a monologue
@Xul-Xata oh yeah, and would be extremely jarring hearing the same voice that gave us "ARES! DESTROY MY ENEMIES, AND MY LIFE IS YOURS" saying all the insightful shit Judge's voice gave us
I love this scene and all, but what I really focused on was the throne It's tattered, broken and a piece of rubble from a time of former glory. It's ugly and distasteful. No one but a fool would sit on a throne like that. And yet, It is still there, standing as the man stares into the sunset, looking for hope. It's callous and rough, yet has a familiar feeling. Proud yet humble in it's own way. It is the throne for the ruined, the fools and most importantly those hopers who believe it can become better than what it once was
The fact that we got this quality of writing and performance out of a free roguelike dlc is fucking wild, say what you will about sony but when they hit they hit HARD.
The masculine Urge to overcome ones own demons. To become better for those around us. To want nothing but council our younger selves.......to truly embrace the phrase....nosce te ipsum
Sure, he walks in and randomly starts talking to himself its "deep and heartbreakinf" I do it and its "hes crazy" and i have "have to leave the walmart property"
I'm probably going to be watching this every day. What this is showing is how to confront self-hatred and guilt for what happened in the past you don't exactly have to do bad things to hate yourself. And I'm not going to lie every single time I see this I feel better
That would be sick if there was echos of his old famous phrase like “you will not see the end of this day, I will have my revenge”, as he reflects on his old life
@@IWearShades I actually agree. I feel like this was just perfect. Unless they have other things to explore that tells a sincere story and not a money grab
When he says “you are more than that” “you have always been more than what other’s saw” I know this is a video game, but I recorded that clip and listen to it every single day
He became the *right* God of War. Regretful. Recalcitrant. Only using violence as necessary to protect those he loves. No room for cruelty, or arrogance, or conquest. A Protector above all
For all the hell kratos went through and everything losing his family having a new one i thought kratos was gonna fight his younger self but he has peace
The only thing missing from this amazing scene is not having Terrance C Carson come back and do voice lines so that old Kratos can talk to his younger self and, to top it off, a boss battle! Young vs old as a way of him conquering his past, forgiving himself, and starting over. That would have been 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Cause Parry can protect happiness. Kratos kill what made you sad as hell and help who is worthy to want that higher level. Parry compares level of good vs evil.
"What does that make me? A god of fools! A god of... hope, when all else is lost..." What is hope if not foolishness; to believe in the better of people and the world, even when you are shown otherwise time and again? Hope is foolishness, but it is foolishness that gives people something to live for. Hope gives us a reason to wake up, to live our days, and the strength to fight when our foe seems insurmountable.
It's as if God, Jesus Christ in Heaven wanted me to see this. ''You are cruel, and arrogant, and Selfish, But you are more than that, You have always been more than that. You have always been more than what others saw. You are more than that.'' Remembering selfish desire, inclinations to do evil, God is always present, and Jesus Christ is our only hope for salvation. In short, turn from sin people, use the Good, allowing Jesus to live in you, and emboldening the Characteristics God loves. Honesty, Selflessness, Love, Mercy, Compassion, Sacrifice.
honestly would have been better if kratos's past self is the superboss other than that valkyrie. i know his younger self is more powerful, and more violent it would be kratos's biggest challenge to fight his own self in a fight to the death.
From that point forward, throughout the rest of time where ever men found redemption, honor, noble, and just, they were watched by the man who lost everything and gained everything they were driven forward by kratos the god of war, who became the god of peace, hope, the new all father
Shame he wasn't more than that BEFORE he ditched Greece to burn after all the damage he caused. Maybe stick around and rebuild? "NOPE! New wife and family!" "... kay."
The god of hope, it is what inside the Pandora, the grace that could rebuild an entire realm, hope buolds everything, hope brings light and illuminate our path forward, hope os not given, ot is realized unlocked, hope burns within, hope is a prt of our very being, the god of hope. Kratos as a fictional character, have given me more clarity than any poeple I've met, words won't be able to truly covey what hope means, it is demonstrated, it is like a picture, it's not meant to be understood right away, you'll gradually realize the beuty of it's design, it will slowly unravel upon you the more you look at it.
I don’t think a lot of people understand this moment. It’s more than just a cutscene in a game. This is somthing I would repeat in my head over and over because they’re words that mean so much to me. And I live by them every day.
They should have brought TC Carson back to voice young kratos one more time. Pay honor to the og kratos and a way of passing the torch! TC carson is the goat the will aways be the real Kratos. 💯
this scene couldve gone better, even what kratos chooses to say coudlve been more impactful. u can tell they wanted it done and out of the way for the fans
I don't think he deserved making peace with himself. In his own words, he killed "many who were deserving and many who were not." I dont think he should get to be at peace just because he felt sorry and hopeful
This is what many people spend years in therapy trying to find. Know thyself young ones . Do not lose yourself in this world or become your own monsters.
As a psychologist, I approve this. THIS comment, and all this scene is the exact point of therapy
One of the hardest parts of changing is accepting the past, accepting all that you’ve done and trying to move past and be a better person, Kratos spent GOW2018 and Ragnarok trying to run from his past but only through confrontation was he able to achieve any peace
I know how that is. To accept who you are, your potential, and the dark, violent part of me. It’s helped me move on from suicide

This is the perfect end to Kratos' story. There doesn't need to be anymore games, just let it end here
Nah I wanna see kratos live a happy life ahead
@@ਹਰਮਨਸਿੰਘ that's not gonna make for much of a video game. Just let it end here and accept it was a good run.
@@IWearShades we still have Atreus. His story has to continue
@@IWearShades I actually agree. I feel like this was just perfect. Unless they have other things to explore that tells a sincere story and not a money grab
where can i find the vocals without the background music?

ALL HAIL THE GOD OF HOPE
The only way you win against evil people in this world is to do your very best to not become like them.
When he says “you are more than that” “you have always been more than what other’s saw” I know this is a video game, but I recorded that clip and listen to it every single day
literally my everyday first five minutes after I woke up.
god of war, god of pain, god of suffering, god of destruction, god of fools, god of hope and many more titels
The young kratos was driven by anger the old kratos is driven with wisdom and that is what make him unique
I want to believe that kratos went through this hundreds of times until he got the point of that throne and what it truly meant to be a god of war.
He became the *right* God of War. Regretful. Recalcitrant. Only using violence as necessary to protect those he loves. No room for cruelty, or arrogance, or conquest. A Protector above all
For all the hell kratos went through and everything losing his family having a new one i thought kratos was gonna fight his younger self but he has peace
The only thing missing from this amazing scene is not having Terrance C Carson come back and do voice lines so that old Kratos can talk to his younger self and, to top it off, a boss battle! Young vs old as a way of him conquering his past, forgiving himself, and starting over. That would have been 🔥🔥🔥🔥
me confronting myself after my friends said i was a selfish, egotistical, and arrogant bastard
(i've been told i'm doing better now)
Forgive yourself and repent because you're more than your sins.
I have been with kratos since the very beginning and all I can say to the developers over the years is Thank you
Cause Parry can protect happiness. Kratos kill what made you sad as hell and help who is worthy to want that higher level. Parry compares level of good vs evil.
Me talking to my younger military self.
This is one of the few shining examples of what i would consider a AAA game.

It’s like watching Shakespeare
I belive a fakos line can sum up everything and that is "I have not brought you liberty, I found it here, among you." By Skanderbeg
I watch this at least once a week.
I unintentionally said something bad in the OSC and I relate to this.
How many men have had to have this conversation with themselves. I’ll start🙏🏽💪🏾✋🏾

"What does that make me? A god of fools! A god of... hope, when all else is lost..."
What is hope if not foolishness; to believe in the better of people and the world, even when you are shown otherwise time and again? Hope is foolishness, but it is foolishness that gives people something to live for. Hope gives us a reason to wake up, to live our days, and the strength to fight when our foe seems insurmountable.
It's as if God, Jesus Christ in Heaven wanted me to see this. ''You are cruel, and arrogant, and Selfish, But you are more than that, You have always been more than that. You have always been more than what others saw. You are more than that.'' Remembering selfish desire, inclinations to do evil, God is always present, and Jesus Christ is our only hope for salvation. In short, turn from sin people, use the Good, allowing Jesus to live in you, and emboldening the Characteristics God loves. Honesty, Selflessness, Love, Mercy, Compassion, Sacrifice.
I chose .
By some reason, i see this scene as a methaphor of the Old time games vs Actual New world 2030 Agenda games.
Santa Monica should really fix his foul teeth, damn
I can just Imagine how this fight could have gone down My Gosh 😂
honestly would have been better if kratos's past self is the superboss other than that valkyrie.
i know his younger self is more powerful, and more violent it would be kratos's biggest challenge to fight his own self in a fight to the death.
From that point forward, throughout the rest of time where ever men found redemption, honor, noble, and just, they were watched by the man who lost everything and gained everything they were driven forward by kratos the god of war, who became the god of peace, hope, the new all father
Should have brought back the original voice actor to voice young Kratos and write a few lines in response.
Shame he wasn't more than that BEFORE he ditched Greece to burn after all the damage he caused. Maybe stick around and rebuild?
"NOPE! New wife and family!"
"... kay."
peak
The god of hope, it is what inside the Pandora, the grace that could rebuild an entire realm, hope buolds everything, hope brings light and illuminate our path forward, hope os not given, ot is realized unlocked, hope burns within, hope is a prt of our very being, the god of hope.
Kratos as a fictional character, have given me more clarity than any poeple I've met, words won't be able to truly covey what hope means, it is demonstrated, it is like a picture, it's not meant to be understood right away, you'll gradually realize the beuty of it's design, it will slowly unravel upon you the more you look at it.
Austrian Painter confronts the guy who killed him
I don’t think a lot of people understand this moment. It’s more than just a cutscene in a game. This is somthing I would repeat in my head over and over because they’re words that mean so much to me. And I live by them every day.
They should have brought TC Carson back to voice young kratos one more time. Pay honor to the og kratos and a way of passing the torch! TC carson is the goat the will aways be the real Kratos. 💯
@@Leviathan1000 real
what's the song
this scene couldve gone better, even what kratos chooses to say coudlve been more impactful. u can tell they wanted it done and out of the way for the fans
I really hope kratos gets to meet Jesus Someday.
I don't think he deserved making peace with himself. In his own words, he killed "many who were deserving and many who were not." I dont think he should get to be at peace just because he felt sorry and hopeful
