"Can I turn into an animal?" -Atreus
Your grandfather once turned into a bird
to steal your father's power
Hah didn’t think of that
:) Atreus is a furry confirmed
@@gamingcantina9157 I know this is a joke, but Because he can shape-shift into an animal or differnt people doesn't mean he is a furry, since furries didn't even exist during nordic times. (god I don't understand people who want to dress up as animals.)
Ray Sumber it‘s a thing we do mostly, dress up. It‘s childish yeah, but what‘s wrong with being childish to begin with? But, if you don’t like furries that‘s your opinion. I‘ll just move on and not cause any trouble
@@Apollo5752353 it's more of that I don't understand it, that's it. And I was talking about someone saying Atrues is a furry when in Norse mythology time furries wasnt a thing.

How is that satisfying

For 6 games. Ascension, Chain of Olympus, 1, Ghost of Sparta, 2, and 3. (7 games if you include the mobile game Betrayal)
@@dequan8169 well remembered mr! that's a load of spartanin' to remember hehe
im always SALTY you’ve obviously never played the other games...
I love that Mimir doesn't judge Kratos for being the Ghost when he realizes who he truly is. He accepts him for the man he's trying to be now. A true friend.
In fairness he did end mimirs eternal torture
Man is like "Woah. That's cool as hell!"
“No offense brother, I hear the pantheon had it coming”
“You’re damn right they did, head.”
He's not wrong, a lot of the pantheon did have it coming.
I wonder what mimir would say if we heard him talk more about the ghost of Sparta
"Your frost axe will not work. You will need something else."
I had the biggest smile on my face thinking about the blades of chaos.
And you were right..!
The fact he kept them
@@somerandomuser3395 He didn't have a choice, no matter how far he threw them away, they'd appear near him whenever he'd sleep
@@corvo2696 adding onto it. I believe it’s part of the curse that has stained him white. He can never get rid of them, same as he can never take his own life.
You think he’ll ever challenge Atreus in order to die by his hand instead? Keep the curse of parent killing going?
I don't think so. In scene after final fight with Baldur it was made clear, that he doesn't want Atreus to kill him. Not that he's scared, but because he wants to end vicious cycle of gods enslaving/killing their own parents. He wants to have normal, human relationship with his son, like one he had with his greek family, before gods got involved.
“But I am your monster no longer”

Literally a back seat. He probably got sat on at least once accidentally.

I’ve seen this comment on multiple GOW videos and it never gets old
"You only killed those who's deserving right?"
My man Kratos who only spared Aphrodite: *yes*
Since killing each of the gods destroyed the part of the world they correspond to, does that explain why the end scene with the world in ruins is still terribly beautiful?
Well in God of war 1 you do get infinite magic because of her even if it's a glitch

LOL right.
At some point she tries to kill him and boom, I don't remember if he does in canon spare her or not
the genius writing of the first scene with Baldur is that he’s not actually talking about anything Greek, he thinks Kratos is the Giant he’s looking for. “Your kind being more enlightened” and “long way from home” are referring to Giants being intelligent and the realm of Jotunheim
but at the beginning we think he means gods and Olympus
BOUT THIS ua-cam.com/video/br1HecaJ9mM/v-deo.html
I thought he meant that since he was the one who killed the entire greek pantheon, he could make him feel again.
@@slyx4104 no giants have magic dissimilar to that of the Norse gods, baldur was hoping this magic could cure him and do what Odin could not
Before realizing he was talking about the giants, I always thought the “enlightened” line was referring to how Greeks were generally seen as such compared to the savage Viking peoples
you pay attention well
For a man with such a violent past and violitle temper. Kratos really is trying to learn from his mistakes and become a good dad.

Seeing Atreus become cockier after finding out he's a god is kinda terrifying.
Makes sense when you know who he is
Yeah Lokis a dick
@@makaylawallis1884 Not so much that. Think back to when you were a kid; how little you understood or cared. Now give that kid a god complex.
True but kratos is being a better father then zeus ever was kratos told him the truth but hes also letting atreus know that with being one theres a responsibility with it too or as kratos would call it the curse
Hunter Webster I mean I had a hero complex so I completely understand Atreus being that way. And then look at Loki’s personality from the sagas and Atreus is only gonna get worse
I love how the Head is typically quiet when Kratos is having moments with his son, it’s very polite and wholesome.

@@AdventVFX except for the time i was getting annihilated by sigrun and the mf had the audacity to speak up about our squirrel friend
Smartest man alive/unalive knows how to read the room!
Was he supposed to interrupt or something?😆
Ohhhhhhhhsooo cute hu?!unicorns
I just love how Kratos has become so wise over the years. He used to be a rage-fueled god-killing machine. Now, he is a wise god-killing machine.
Anything can change but the only thing that remains the same is him killing gods.
Time tempers even the sturdiest of things at any given time.
Kratos has had time to finally think and is trying, genuinely trying, to be better for his son, the reason he has try for.
A god of war with untempered lust for war and battle can be a deadly and vicious opponent. But is blind and arrogant, easy provoke and prone to unquenchable thirst for war.
But a god of war that is most of these but tempered by wisdom and able to think clearly, is an even more dangerous adversary. Especially when the reason reinforced with the instinctual need to protect his son.
Still rage-fueled, but only at right times.
Calm and reasonable god-killing machine
“Whatever you’re hiding, you can’t protect him forever” Freya, you hypocrite.

@@Techhunter_Talon maybe so, but I wanted to say it out loud

@@clerkwithamouth considering the ending of the game, I'm not entirely sure she knows she made a mistake
@@k.g.7591
Her only regret was making Baldur mad at her, maybe she could've done something to not anger him, however she didn't regret blessing him with immortality one bit. In fact she would rather let him kill her than do any harm to him, so her reaction in the end didn't contraddict what she said earlier
Kratos giving his kid wine while he is still 10
Cool parent alert
Pft wine is juice for us Mediterranean folk
@Interrupting Cow Peoples drinking alcohol because of water being "unsafe" has been proven to be a myth. There's plenty of evidence that people knew how to get clean water.
I think it's a very high chance that wasnt wine but rather straight vinigar
Alcohol was a common drink for any age back then. It was until more recent times that it was age restricted
Because he Greek
Atreus: "Can I... turn into an animal...?"
Kratos: "Can you turn into an animal?....
No... No, I do not think so"
Aged like fine wine.
Well, at least it wasn't his power, so no reason for Kratos, the god of strength, to think that his son would have those odd powers.
I bet Kratos would've preferred to have some of those more exotic powers himself though. He tend to value cleverness and tactical thinking over the raw power he often rely upon.
The voice actor for Kratos is fucking amazing. He gets emotion across, every emotion, perfectly. That scene as he pleads at Freya's door is unbelievable. He goes from God of War, to concerned father, to pleading father, in literally 3 lines. Outrageously good voice acting.
Yea Christopher judge is so amazing he voiced the part so well
TJ Carson: The Vengeful and violent Ghost of Sparta
Christoper Judge: The Tempered but still brutal Anti-Hero
Just wish they had used TC Carson's voice when they were in the ship
@@legendarymarston9174 Maybe for Ragnarok
Indeed
When Atreus falls ill, you can tell how terrified and desperate Kratos grows, as if his trauma with his first family wasn't enough.
Emilio Hidalgo
Imagine Atreus getting a normal cold.
@@samuraijackoff5354
I like to think that if that ever happened in the past, Kratos would let her mother take care of it, but would secretly peek every now and then to see if everything is alright.
He reacted how any parent would. Especially one that has lost a child before.
What's worse is that he was warned and it would have been his fault
As a father I still couldn't understand losing both families
Imagine if Atreus had died there, we were going to A) see a suicide like in gow1 or b) watch the massacre of gods again
The scene when Kratos takes out the Blades of Chaos is one of the best I've seen in any game.
Same bro I had chills playing that scene
"the fire of these blades were once used to destroy."
"Now they will guide and protect all I hold dear."
I don't know, I kind of imagine that's something kratos would think to himself in that situation
Have you not seen the WoW cinematics it puts all other games to shame but this one is still amazing
I kinda hoped other weapons would return as well, Like the Blade Of Olympus, Claws Of Hades, Nemean Cestus , Nemesis Whip, Arms of Sparta, and Gauntlet of Zeus.
Idk i just feel exited and can't wait to use em as favorite special weapons even tho it was orignals but itewas cannons 👌
I love how Atreus's question about turning into an animal lightens Kratos's mood.
To me it shows that thru their battles and violence he still remained a child, hopeful and imaginative
Normal people: "I'm a god?! POWER! I CAN END EVERYTHING MUHAAHAHA"
Atreus: "... Can I turn into an animal?"
*Kratos smiles*
(Understandable)
@@TheOlondo maybe Kratos failed as a father and his son is a furry
@@TheOlondo Atreus is a child, a normal child would’ve had similar thoughts

The "Atreus the Spartan' story got me right in the feels. Naming his own son after him honors his memory, reminds Kratos of his own hope and humanity... is a constant reminder of the kind of man he wants Atreus his son to be.
Kudos to Santa Monica Studios, they knocked it out of the park.
Atreus is a pissy ass lil shit!hate the new games!how you can love the ild and the new bullshit?thats hypocrite

There is a weird bit of humility in it too, "I don't want him to be like me, I want him to be better than me. I want him to be like the best man I ever knew"
“I killed many who were deserving.... and many who were not”
When he says the last part, you can hear the subtle regret and sorrow in his voice.
You know he’s thinking of his wife, child, and pandora. All of which were his greatest failures and entirely his fault.
Fucking phenomenal performance by the voice actor.
cameron phares amazing right? And to think Christopher judge wasn’t even a fan of GOW before he was casted lmao
You forgot the Boat captain
And Poseidon's wife
I think he still has Pandora's 'hope' in him tho... Remember in Niflheim when Kratos thought he saw Faye? The way he walked in the darkness is exactly like one of the last scenes of GOW 3
And those humans he killed in the 3rd game. Idk about the other two though I didn't play them
"From what I heard the Pantheon had it coming"
That's an understatement, Mimir.
True. Considering what Ares, Zeus, Athena, Gaia, and all of the others did to Kratos... Yeah, they TOTALLY had it coming!
ironic isn't it, they got to meet their destiny by taking the path to avoid it.
@@jorgenitales412

@@AlexPavelka what didn't they do to him.

I love how Baldur's first conversation fits so well for both Norse Giants and Greek Gods.
my favorite detail of the game, he never knew about kratos or the greek gods, we all just assumed he was talking about them but on a replay its obvious that he was mistaking Kratos for Laufey the giant
@@krombabulusmichael yeah baldur mission is to find faye
Strange how Baldur doesn’t know who Kratos really is but Odin, Thor, Týr, Mímir, and Freya know.
Where does it say he was actually talking about giants
@@baewiz5238 The simple fact that he didn't know Kratos was a Greek God is kinda proof of that. Not to mention that the Aesir were hunting down giants.
Mimir: "From what I heard, the Pantheon had it coming."
I like that he understands why Kratos slaughters them and doesn't see him as a monster but as a victim.
Mimir is... naive. He knows that Kratos killed the gods, who totally deserved it, but he doesn't know that Kratos killed many, many more who did not deserve death.
@@Resi1ience no he definitely knows what he’s done. He didn’t get the the name “Ghost of Sparta” from killing the gods.
Kratos: "I am going to cut off your head, now."

@@beanboy4900 He is the smartest man in all the realms, so he figured out he fastest way to get decapitated was talk to kratos

The way it was delivered, best scene in this game
The best thing is during his boat ride home that lightning storm was most likely Thor beating the piss out of his son while Kratos is trying to save his
Oh, that's... oh...
Dayum that got dark real quick
I feel like that lightning storm isn’t happening in the real world but in kratos’ mind as he goes back to confront his dark past.
I have a feeling that was Thor and Tyr fighting. I belive after thor learned his son is dead he went into a fit of rage which allowed tyr to escape and he came and blew the horn which is heard when kratos is taking atreus to freya. Thor realised and came for him leading to a fight and since Tyr is weakened captures him again.
@@gareeb_af9817 best theory i’ve seen in a while, it bothered me that we never asked Mimir, to ask The Serpent who he spoke to when Atreus was sick
I love how the blades of chaos fire up after Kratos takes them. It’s as if they are saying: “hi, old friend!”
That's what the trophy name is when you get it.
“Hi Kratos, you’ve gotten taller, shall we resume stabbing”
"who are we taking down tonight"
🎶hello darkness, my only friend🎶
I like how when Kratos tried to talk to Atreus about what they saw in Helheim, Atreus chose not to talk about it. For first time, he respected his privacy until Kratos was ready to talk about it on his own terms.

@@grimmywizard so, do Mimir just become an arsenal of Kratos' in his head?
It's unknown whether Athena was actually there or not. After all, being a higher plane god thanks to her death by the Blade of Olympus could have given her the ability to remain hidden from anyone she chooses. Or perhaps just make the people of Norse incapable of recognizing her presence.

In the first scene, the stranger think kratos is a giant, he doesn't talk about his past.
yes, but Kratos and the audience don't know that during that scene. Baldur is talking about the giants, but Kratos doesn't know about the giants at that point and believes Baldur is referring to him being Greek and a god. the audience is also led to believe this because at this point we shouldn't know about Faye being a giant or about Buldur searching for the giant. so at this point in the game, what Baldur is saying is meant to be a reference to Kratos' past.
@@Albatross0913 *everone is confused and missleaded
Yeah, you can tell from the last few words that although the description isn't 100% of Kratos but for an Ice Giant, that's why he thought he'd be bigger
矢上ブレーク yeah and him going on about “your kind always thought you were better. Smarter.” My first play through I thought Baldur was referring to Greecians as they may have looked at Scandinavians as savages.
I looked for this comment because I was about to say it didn't want to be one of those fools that post the same comment 30 other people did
The first scene wasn't a reference to Greece, he had no idea who Kratos was. He came searching for a giant, not knowing it was Faye, or that she was dead. The giants were considered an enlightened and peaceful culture among the nine realms in this lore.
It's unclear whether Kratos knew in that situation. Maybe Kratos thought that the stranger was referring to his home country and his past. So, perhaps, slightly indirectly this clip fits the theme.
True, but it is what we are lead to believe at first, that Baldur knew who Kratos is.
If thor knew who he was baldur did too
That boat scene with Athena is still one of the coolest scenes ever in a video game.
The atmosphere alone is so cinematic and it’s so good
imagine not knowing who she was and how important that scene is
@@krombabulusmichael i don't can you explain it to me
@@shaakir742 You need to fully play the first trilogy to understand the true meaning of the scene.
But to sum it up, Athena acted like someone who wanted to help Kratos to free him from his sins but she basically used him to achieve her own endgame. She always saw him as the monster who killed his own family. And since Kratos was cursed to wear the ashes and blood of his family, she always thought he was cursed to be like this. But Kratos already broke free of Athena's influence.
@@suckerman7gm "Athena acted like someone who wanted to help Kratos to free him from his sins but she basically used him to achieve her own endgame."
that's only your interpretation, She was corrupted after death which made her wanting to rule over the world.
and It was zeus who thought like that, She tried her best to convince zeus to free him from his nightmares but he was having non of it. read gow1 and 2 novels.
The only thing the "new fans" would do is play gow2018, watch "I am no longer your monster" and the first greek game they play is GoW3, fine make her the biggest villain of the series. without knowing how the series progressed and how her character developed, there was difference between monster and warrior, she wasn't using him as her monster in gow1 or chains.
and besides that He isn't really free from "Athena's influence", read fallen god comic.

_"The true power of this weapon, any weapon, comes from here"_ [points to heart]
_"But only when tempered by this"_ [Points to head]
_"By the discipline, the self control, of the one who wields it. You must never forget that."_
Kratos trying so hard to make sure Atreus doesn't fall in his footsteps
Really tells you the sheer skill Kratos possesses as a result of his training and tactical mind. He is capable of using almost any weapon efficiently, sometimes better than their original owners. Despite all the madness, he was still disciplined enough to apply skill and control over his weapons, mastering some of them within seconds.
The guy is an absolute beast.
Everyone gangstah until Kratos teaches his boi what to do when a O appears above a lady's head.
Discipline and self control are things Kratos learned as a Spartan, but he's always been a beast of rage as well. It's interesting to see the dichotomy, because in this game you're most powerful when you enter Spartan Rage. Now, that could be a way of saying it's a controlled, practiced rage, but more likely it's using Spartan to draw from Kratos's past and saying "time to go nuts like you used to, dad".
20:03 when Kratos smelled that wine, i bet it felt like coming home. I also love how he saw that vase with an image of him in his heyday. Crazy to think Tyr might have traveled to Greece during the original trilogy

I love the line “I am your monster no more” he accepts he’ll always be a killer, a monster to many but that’s behind him, he’s now a monster to all that try to hurt Atreus, instead of rejecting his past now he’s using it to protect his son
personally i took it more like him reminding that he is a beast that broke free from its leash.
As in, he is a monster out of anyones control at this point.
@@Observer413 I like that explanation alot more :)
Honestly it might be a mix of both. He is a beast freed from the control of all but himself. He chooses where his blades go, where he walks, and what he does. Not some pansy's or snake's or hypocrite's control. And for him it means making sure his son lives
It’s crazy to think that the gods really thought that he was just going to do their bidding forever. As if someone being controlled would not want freedom at some point in life. Luckily, Kratos had enough anger, skill, & backbone to get him to this point.
God Complex is real, & I can see why Kratos despises it.
The Greek pantheon sure was keen on the whole "servitude for eternity" with kratos. The guy only did what they asked in hopes of getting some peace and perhaps the chance to make atonement for his mistakes, and at every step they took it further and further until they just said "nah we're never letting you go" and somehow expected the guy to just go along with it.
18:04 I always thought this scene was so cute. The fact that Kratos didn’t lecture or diminished his question, only was curious about it and trying to encourage the wonder of his son is so adorable.
I also like how caught off guard the question was for him. It so cute just the kind of innocence the question was. I mean, if I was a little kid that just found out I was a god, I'd want to know if I could turn into an animal too.
The "Atreus of Sparta" story from Kratos is too good. Great final touch
"So it is dishonorable to grow old?"
This is a really fact about Spartans when you were a spartan of 60 years you could retire and if you wanted your name on your tombstone you had to die defending Sparta I love this detail.
Dieing during child birth also earned your name on your gravestone
@Top Lobster the famous quote when asked why spartan women could vote “ because only spartan woman can give birth to spartan men”
@@macasaurusrex4863 hey at least they were one step ahead from a good amount of others civiliazations at that time
Spartans are that dedicated huh
@Top Lobster Thats just from 300 Sparta didnt have voting, that was silly and Athenian, they had a dual monarchy instead with one king focused on the military and the other focused on domestic affairs. However Sparta did still treat its women alot better than the neighbouring city states of Greece, Women where trained to fight being expected to help defend the city should it ever be attacked, they where educated as the Spartan men would spend most of their time in the Barracks meaning it was up to the woman to oversee any family business, the running of the home, and anything else one would need an education for. Its also for these reasons property rights went matrlinealy (AK the woman would be the legal property owner and would inherit over her brothers as she would actually do shit with it instead of fucking off to train on harvest day)

The most emotion we’ve ever seen from Kratos, the absolute refusal of losing another child haunts this man and it’s so chilling.
Love how he quickly looks at the hammer at 4:25 and then just go "nope my fists are better"
Kratos is like "tf is this pussy-ass weapon!?" Lmao
its like the gow 3 ending with zeus

I love that, despite the game being full of references to his past, you only hear the name "Kratos" a handful of times in the entire thing.
Or the Ghost of Sparta
@@paulgentili1425 nope. No one knows kratos is the ghost in this game. And to the op. Your right only a couple a times do we hear kratos's name. Freya said it once
@@livinglegend9709 Mimir calls Kratos as the Ghost Of Sparta after he realises that Kratos' father is Zeus.
@@Jaeeden oh yeah I forgot to mention the only people who knows kratos is the ghost is Mimir, Tyr, Odin, and probably Faye as she did it for prophecy. Now what confuses me, is did Faye really love kratos? or was she using him for his power to kill the Norse gods
@@livinglegend9709 maybe as a tool but genuine love over time? hard to say.
This game has a HEAVY emphasis on the old warrior trying to right a lifetime of wrongs by teaching his son to not be like him. The entire series is one big lifetime experience. From young adulthood to old, weathered and with a young son.
Wrongs are debatable, as mirmir said and i agree with, they fucking deserved it, yeah probably destroyed the greek world in the process but hey that shit was already on a downward spiral without him and the gods are the ones who pushed it and caused it, and in the end he gave that world a chance to begin again without the bullshit and shitty gods
jwn5 he didn’t have to do that he could’ve have just killed athena again when he sacrificed himself
@@TCTUXNIGHTMARE15 even then hope would still be stuck inside him, and im pretty sure kratos doesnt want to be the new ruling god, he had to release it to the humans
Drgnbck McKellop na the gods deserved it
@@jwn5 The Pantheon deserved it. The many many innocents/civilians however?
"That's a mother's promise" that line right there I believe speaks volumes about Freya and her fate. She may be a God, but like alot of mothers- She is a mother before anything else, yes she was selfish and desperate when she made sure nothing could hurt/kill Baldur but then again a lot of mothers would go to great lengths to ensure that no harm befalls their children.
I think her motherness (Is that the proper term?) will be the reason for another pivot in her Character in GoW:Ragnarok, despite her motherness already being the change in her role from ally to enemy. A lot of people in the fandom already hate her for turning against Kratos and Boi but I on the other hand and extremely stoked to see how her story line progresses or ends in the Norse sector of GoW!
I see a redemption arc for her, she's getting lost in her grief after kratos killing her son which is entirely understandable at least from her perspective. I think at some point kratos might do something that'll make her realize that there wasn't any other way to deal with baulder and in the end he ended up that way cause of her while also being given many chances to still make the wrong choice that mad him too dangerous.
It’s ironic really, the fates foretold a needless death to baldur, and Freya made that happen, she made him feel nothing so he went to those extremes
@@colorgreen8728 Funnily enough, had she not treated Baldur like that, he might've been fighting on Kratos and Atreus' side, but might've still died during the fighting.
To be fair, she let her emotions cloud her judgment.
Rationally, she should be thanking Kratos for saving her life from the spawn that was trying to kill her for an honest mistake on her part. In her desire to protect her son, Freya ended up dooming him to misery and death. Hence the phrase, "People often encounter their fate on the road they take to avoid it." and how prophecies are nearly always self-fulfilling. Still, I can understand her desire to protect her child however she could.
Emotionally, she damned him to the deepest pits of Tartarus. Baldur was her boy, her child, and in protecting Freya, Kratos killed him. Yes, Baldur earned his death, but that doesn't matter to Freya. All she cared about was her son.
Baldur, however, didn't care. It wasn't that he couldn't understand his mom's desire to protect him, he did, but the fact of the matter is that he was far too consumed with self-loathing, self-hatred, and a single-minded determination for revenge at being robbed of feeling/sensation to care. He had a mother complex, in the worst possible way, and unlike Kratos, who didn't let his analytical mind go in exchange for pure, blind vengeance (most of the time, at least), Baldur had long ago tossed that aside, since he was invulnerable and could not be hurt/killed.
My favorite part of the Blades of Chaos removal is how you can't clearly ascertain how Kratos is feeling as he reveals them. He speaks with regret and shame, but the moment he needs them he KNOWS it; he trusts their power. When he reaches down for them his hands freeze and lock in fear, but when he touches the blade it seems like a moment of pure reverence.
It's fantastic cinematography and character work.
5:25 "I'm still a god, go away." if only the Greek pantheon was this funny, perhaps they would have survived.
The Pandora box is what make them that way

"Not this one."
The casualness he delivers this line is chilling. Uh, this game was fantastic. It's going to be a loooong wait for the 9th.
"I thought you'd be bigger."
Technically, he's not wrong. The guy was over seven and half feet tall in the other games.
Hahahaha but its more because he though Kratos was a Jottun, not a god from another pantheon
😂😂
At the time Baldur was tracking down giants (looking for Faye, not knowing she died). That's why he expected Kratos to be bigger, since he believed him to be the giant he was looking for. Also explains the comment about "your kind think you're smarter than us", since giants are known for their intelligence and knowledge.
@@groumoun328 but giants are said to be just another race like humans in gow. So why would he expect giants to be taller since giants are normal sized
@@Minority_hunter.. Not all are human sized like Faye. The majority are much larger than humans, you can see that when Kratos goes to recover the chisel, or during the ending sequence where you see all the dead giants in the background.

"will you help me?"
What a line in and of itself from Kratos (you know, the man who killed an entire land and its gods), and its delivery gets across his desperation and fear
Atreus: “Can I turn into an animal.”
Kratos: “Can you turn into an animal?”
*Kratos’s voice actor looks over at the writers, who are writing the script for God of War Ragnarok, and they shrug.
Kratos: “No… no I do not think so.”
4 years later, Atreus turns into animal

That scene when Kratos gives Atreus his knife and gave him his fatherly speech I’m like “Darn it Kratos! Why did you have to make me cry?” 😭
And then Atreus flushes it down the toilet.
The conversation between him and Atreus when he gave him the knife was wholesome. Made my smile, and proud of Kratos
seeing kratos smile in this video when he was drinking wine with his son is truly a sight
Not gonna lie, that scene was very touching.
yes! And other scenes when Kratos think in touch Atreus during the game like trying to say he something, or give some affection. Beautiful.
aaahhh family bonding
and wine from Lemnos is indeed freaking good
''Aaaa''
Anyone realized that all of these references to the past Kratos and Greek mythology in some of these scenes there is like a violin music/tone but then changes to some Greek music/tone with opera or some shit.
Hybrid Theory such as 20:05
It really gives you the "it's Sparta the fucking rageland of Greek" feeling when the Opera comes in place
It's an Icelandic quire.
Mushmouth choir?
yes. @@stultuz
19:50 this whole sequence is so powerful. The way he misses the smell of his home. The way he reminisses his past.
That and in the next game, him wanting to eat an olive again.
From the moment he gets in the canoe and leaves Freya's until the moment he first fights with the blades, I believe that is one of the greatest scenes in gaming history
"will you help me?" the way his voice cracked while saying that line. Kratos NEVER asked anyone this nicely. Because this was a problem which violence and rage cant solve.
The voice acting on that whole bit, man. Beautiful. Kratos is so dead inside and Atreus is probably the only thing that gives him any semblance of emotions and you can tell. Truly a work of art. Fuck anyone that says video games arent art.
Why does voice crack gotta be a big deal? You Should feel bad for them not laugh.

13:29 I could be wrong but I feel like this was also a message to the audience and the player. Meaning the old god of war games were the end of a chapter, it’s time to move on to a new one.
Meanwhile at the studio: It would be so cool if kratos said this, let’s do it!
@@_BlackGuy_ 💀
After watching the old God of war videos clips of Kratos past after a very long time from my play throughs I realized these Norse gods had no idea what they were dealing with.
Yeah how did any of them think they had a chance
Kratos didn’t have to hold back he only did for the sake of his sanity and the *BOY*
12:56 I simply love that they called the original Athena's voice actor to this. It's a minor detail, but it helps to connect even more with the first God of War game.
Me too. I kinda wish they did the same with kratos' original VA for the vision in helheim.
Is it the same? Im Talking about the one from Gow 3 not The others.
It’s the same from gow 3 but not from gow 1 & 2
On that note, I’m bummed they didn’t have tc Carson be kratos again, for the same reason
And zeus too
@@McDoinky TC Doesn't have as good range as Christopher Judge, who can yell great but also has a ton of other emotional scenes. TC just shouted a lot. Even when he was not in a angry scene, he yelled. Not saying he wasnt good, but Judge is much better overall for this version of Kratos
When he gets to Freyas and his begging her for help, he sounds like he’s about to cry, it’s actually heartbreaking
Its honestly CRAZY that we feel for Kratos of all people.. Great writing and story telling on the developers part.
He didn't want to lose Atreus like he lost calliope
He didn't want Atreus join him in his body
At that moment, he was a concerned father. Plus, he already lost his first child. He ain't trying to go through that pain again.
I mean it is understandable he technically already lost 2 families his wife and daughter and then his father and now he already lost his next wife so atreus is the only family he has
Atreus: It smells like rotten eggs...is it still good?
Kratos: Possibly.
Lmao, if that didn't have me laughing then Kratos chugging it and saying "Aahhh..." certainly did!
The first interaction is actually Baldur thinking that Kratos was a giant; he had no idea that Kratos was there.
think about it, the reason atreus is so dangerous (or atleast can become so dangerous), is the fact that not only is he part Giant, one of the most intelligent races (not to mention big and strong), but he is also the son of A) a spartan (which means fighting is in his blood), B) the grandson of Zues (so magical power is a given), C) the son of Kratos (so physical strength and i want to say wisdom, is going to be passed on) but he is also being mentored by Kratos, being taught how to fight, how to lead, how to think.
also that hint at a possible Egypt god of war is awesome.
And also cronos is his great grandfather too so he would also be part titan
Egyptian gods: *sweat profusely

When he said "Then i must return home" to get the blades, i thought that he was going to that mountain top in the the third game, where he killed Zeus, because if i remember that is where he lost/left all his weapons.
Daniel Gate those were the blades of exile not chaos, those blades he kept hidden away.
@@LordBeerusGodofDestruction Lol no the blades actually followed him.
@@LordBeerusGodofDestruction The blades of exile are quite literally the blades of chaos same as how the blades of Athena that Kratos was given were the blades of chaos.
@@Ragingknight12 it wasn't my guy
Its like the upgraded one
Blades of Exile is the repaired Blades of Athena after it was destroyed/rusted in the river Styx in the GoW 3
HOWEVER, it's not the Blades of chaos that Ares gave to him.
Athena : replaced Chaos, destroyed and restored into Exile.
Exile : probably Kratos left it after killing Zeus.
Chaos : the OG blades, Kratos can't get rid of it how much he wanted to, always find a way back to him, so he just store it somewhere.
tl;dr, Blades of Athena = Blades of Exile =/= Blades of Chaos
Let's not kid around - for Sunny Sulijic to stand alongside Christopher Judge's portrayal is truly outstanding. Man's putting in the performance of a lifetime & this kid is managing to keep pace.
Kratos: Athena.. get out of my head.
Athena, knowing better, getting out of his head.

"Not in this realm"
*Claws of Hades flashbacks*
I bet the claws are having flashbacks of kratos every time some dude they grab manages to wiggle free
Kratos yelling at Freyja's door as opposed to kicking it in is so bizarre. Like I already can't accept how chill Kratos is now, but him politely waiting for her to open it despite the urgency is just weird.
He wasn't in his normal head space in that moment in time he wasn't the kratos who killed zeus or even the one we've seen in this game he was the man he was just before he lost his original family. He was faced with a problem his strength could not solve and there was no god to blame/kill over it. So he reverted back to the only mindset that would have experience with this sort of problem.
Freya is a god. Its not unreasonable to suggest theres some magic barrier to stop brute strength. Also Kratos is much more respectable now.
@@biznessman5632 well it was because a god modi made him loose his cool thus fallen ill plus kratos never told him and he is a god himself so it was partially his mistake
