      Yeah man even if you still have the physical strength to do a lot of stuff but if you are always mentally exhausted all the time like restricting your own inner power then of course your mental toll will have an affect your physical performance whenever you do battles or how to be battle Sharp maybe this is why people say he is Rusty because he always has negative thoughts about how people see him because the more he repress his inner monster the more that monster wants to come out and once he got it out then you know that he is still pretty strong because you probably heard of the concept called The mind body dualism where your body in many cases are linked to your mind and if you can't find a balance between your body and mind then you got way more physical capabilities than you do have mental capabilities but if you got both of your physical and mental capabilities working out together then you're able to do more stuff this is what kratos has always been struggling with all the time like he is struggling to keep that monster suppressed because it takes a lot of mental energy out of you this is why he was exhausted when lesser enemies beat him or why enemies battles can drag out for way to long even though he is capable of beating them by himself and yeah I do like this theory and it should be Canon

  • @vlad_47
    @vlad_47 2 місяці тому +12

    Kratos is a Fallen God, a far cry from the devinity/godhood and meta-physical powers and responsibilities that he had as a God of Olympus, his true peak.
    On top of being a fallen, domainless god, he also lacks the tremendous amps like Blade of Olympus, Hades Soul, Golden Fleece, Blades of Exile etc that he uses in GoW 2-3 to compensate for his lost Godhood.
    As seen in the second Thor fight, just the basic Blades of Chaos amps alone make a huge difference.
    His mindset is set on de-escalation and resolution, draining away at his Rage-based innate power.

    Notice how whenever Kratos is beaten for real, like when at the spark of the world, the games makes you use spartan rage no matter what. This to me made it seem like when Kratos is composed and in need, he allows that rage to fuel him. When fighting Thor, he didn't dare do it since he was quite angry at Thor already and knew he might drift away in the rage because of that.

      Kratos even during his childhood was the exact opposite of Atreus
      He was trained in the spartan way in Sparta which as we know was very brutal
      Because of this, Kratos has a lot of spartan traits such as fighting and dying in battle being one of the biggest honors as to serve their king, this gave even young Kratos a reason to embrace and use his strength(even strength he didn't know he had)
      Because of Kratos early life he basically accepted part of his life which is to use all his strength even if it means ripping and crushing his enemies without mercy which is exactly what he did once he became a spartan general as seen during the flashback cutscnes in GOW 1

      that don't require his magic is the
      bow of Apollo
      The boots of Hermes
      the head of Helios
      the amulet of uroboros
      The wings of Icarus
      The amulet of the fates
      The stone of orkros
      The eyes of Truth
      The sun shield
      The arms of Sparta
      The blade of Artemis
      The trident of Poseidon
      Triton's Lance
      The Golden fleece
      These are the only items and weapons that don't require his magic to operate them they just need a quick recharge or a quick cool down after using them meaning he can still use these items without using his own magic

    I think it’s just bad writing. Getting older should mean getting stronger, but this new age of writers are ret-conning certain things to suit their narrative to make everyone able to compete with Kratos at a lower level.
    For example. You can’t have Thor fail to kill the serpent, when Kratos could beat Atlas and Kronos with such…. lack-of-issue.

    Saying that Kratos is stronger or would defeat the younger Kratos in a situation where the old man is doing his best not to explode with anger and is getting physically and mentally tired while holding back his true strength is silly and nonsensical when the young Kratos is going full force from the beginning without getting tired and being damn aggressive. And maybe you could say that if the old man went to his full potential, but we haven't seen it in the new games so it's impossible to confirm anything 100%.

      Norse Kratos also hasnt pulled off anything that he wouldnt and hasnt been able to do back in Greece.
      The whole age argument is extremely blown out of proportions. As a Olympian God, Kratos power grew with each moment.
      But as a Fallen God since GoW 2 he develops and strenghtens way slower, with only his innate Rage remaining which he holds back conciously and by refusing the Blades of Chaos which feed and surge his Rage.

    I didn't think i had to explain this,
    If you ever DECIDED to look at the DIFFRENCES between his young counterpart to his older counterpart, You'd notice that kratos can lift NINE REALMS but.. he struggles to lift a giant's foot in gow 1?!?!?!!?! Same with his other fight's with giant's. Yeah sure they're huge and probably weigh a ton but kratos lifted, Yet again, NINE REALMSSSSS Just for a comparison, The earth itself is 13,170,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 POUNDS! That is nowhere near the weight of a realm, not in a thousand years would being able to lift a REALM God knows how much nine weigh, Also if you did your research, kratos also lifted TYR'S TEMPLE! which is estimated to have INFINITE WEIGHT,
    also when you say that kratos was "Tired" after his fight with baldur... BECAUSE HE HASN'T BEEN RANDOMLY KILLING THINGS FOR 175-200 YEARS! Please do your research, Even freya said that kratos was locked in the temple for 150 winters, That's near 175-200 years. In short Freya said the temple is about 150 winters underwater so 150 years minimum + Atreus Age + The time he was with Faye alone minimum 175 - 200 years. also again, when has he NOT been tireIn short Freya said the temple is about 150 winters underwater so 150 years minimum + Atreus Age + The time he was with Faye alone minimum 175 - 200 years. after ANY of his fights?? also you never mentioned how he nearly died after stabbing himself in gow 3, also y'know... maybe he could've HELD BACK
    Please respond to this comment, Give me a reason how i'm wrong, Or make another how you are wrong bc kratos never got nerfed, If anything he got buffed.

    Old Kratos is definitely far stronger than young Kratos. If you take a moment you realize something. He took out Odin, Balder, Thor, Heimdall, Magi, Modi, the Valkyries and many others all while holding back, essentially pulling his punches. That's a remarkable degree of power. I would hate to see what happens should Old Kratos give in to his nature.
    Yes, I know he didn't kill Thor but he did defeat him. Also gotta give credit where its due. Thor is one of the extremely few that have been able to kill Kratos. He's also the only one who made the mistake of not leaving him that way.
