Here is a long compilation of Kratos talking about his past!
can you analize mimir qouting kratos's apearance on mortal combat [I think] because I never tought it would be cannon
or he was talking on the Tournymants of the olimpian gods in lore
Oh But The Talk About Food.
We Missed That One.
@@The_Knight2004 i was thinking the same...when i played mortal kombat i saw kratos mk 9 i think or was it mk 8
Thanks for sharing
@@The_Knight2004 it was Sony all star or some shit it had different characters on there and kratos was one of them. They're not talking about MK 💯 I forgot the name of the game but I know it had different characters
Atreus: "You've never had anything like Ragnarok on your side?"
Kratos: "Boy, I was THE Ragnarok in Greece."
i think he means the titans. (i get the joke please dont scream at me :( )
Kratos: yes
Atreus: what was it's name?
Kratos: kratos
Technically he brought the titanomachy.
@@brennanmarsh1572 He kill'd tha Titans.
😂😂😂😂
i love how in 2018 it took him half the game to even acknowledge his previous life but in ragnarok my man goes full mimir mode with those stories
I like how even in 2018 as soon as it's just the adults, is when he opens up more. He's trying to keep the truth hidden from Atreus but Mimir (especially when finding out he's the ghost of sparta) can just talk and open up. Even in this while Kratos does speak about his past it's usually when Atreus asks. But when it's him, Mimir, and Freya, again he feels more open to talk about these things as these are all people who have seen their fair share of shit and wouldn't judge him for it.
@@MegaDrainProductions but even then. He doesn't tell them about his greatest sin. Somethings he needs to keep to himself.
@@jefferycrouse4652 it probably better for him to keep that to himself
@@jefferycrouse4652what was his greatest sin?
@@jordanB206 tricked to destroy a village, not knowing his own wife and daughter in there, they die, by his own hand
Atreus: I have a uncle
Kratos: You had a uncle
Man that's funny damn
Atreus: I have a half sister
Kratos: You had a half sister
@@adrianuribe1057 truth be told, it's in question if Calliope is alive. She could always leave elysium and live life normally, but who knows if she will.
@@warpstarrogue3554 I assume unless one of the surviving Greek Gods stepped in Elysium and the Underworld eventually collapsed. I honestly kinda hoped Odin would have had someone track down her soul to use it against Kratos. It was his one weakspot, plus then we would have gotten Angry Kratos again
TFS reference. Nice!
Freya: "YOU CAN'T UNDERSTAND THE PAIN OF LOSING A CHILD"
Kratos: "cool story woman, here's mine." *proceeds to shock Freya*
Honestly I think the part that shocked her more than not was that it was HE who killed his daughter. That is what she could not imagine herself or what it would mean.
Freya’s not a woman tho 😂
@@graffititurtle11 yeah she is?
@@Kiginsworth1010 she’s a goddess. You wouldn’t call Odin a man, he’s a god. Men are mortal, gods are not. Very straightforward. Just semantics, but they still mean something
@@graffititurtle11 i guess your right, but the definition of goddess is female deity, and a synonym of female is woman. All im sayin lol
"It is difficult to seek forgiveness, when you feel unworthy." Powerful line from kratos damn
Difficult to seek forgiveness from the dead is more like it
If you remember the line of Lyssandra in GoW III using fear Kratos before hugging your family she said: "To be forgiven you must find the power to forgive yourself".
That touched my heart.
5:03 oof
@@killerbonzai1 nah, cause the point is you *can’t* seek forgiveness from the dead….only from yourself for causing it.
Using this game as an example,Sindri can forgive Atreus and Brock most likely doesn’t have to…..but true forgiveness comes once Atreus forgives himself
@@Kurotama11 didnt ask
“I am not here for debts, I would have always helped you.”
Out of everything in this game that probably hit me the hardest really makes you realize this is not the same character in the original trilogy
That was the biggest fact he dropped in the video
Actually, he went out of his way to help all of his allies in the greek series
Orkos, Deimos, Pandora, Athena, The oracle, Gaiah, Atlas (once he stopped serving the gods) etc. When he fell from Gaiah, he actually has a flashback of him screaming in rage for killing Athena. She was his sister and he was actually pissed that she threw herself in the way of Zeus. Kratos has always had a soft spot for people, it's just that he was too drunk with fury. By the time GoW 3 hit, Kratos had killed all of his allies at their request or watched them die and that's what set off the huge explosion of rage that we see. Especially when losing Pandora for "nothing"
@@thearchitectofthehounds9815 Ship Captain from GoW 1.
His voice his tone it feels so real when he says it. It's my favorite line in the game
@@akedus44 Lmao okay I'mconvinced that one was a gag because we always see him. We saw him in nearly all the games. I think there's a note from him in the underworld too in 3.
For those wondering why is Kratos so talkative with Freya about his past, it's because of what she said to mimir.
"this is a temporary alliance, anything beyond that would require trust"
So kratos builds that trust by telling her about his life, and everything that has made him what he is, even the things he was hiding.
thanks
The tone change Freya has when she realizes how much she and Kratos share in their pain, really hits hard knowing he didn't have to tell her any of this but wanted her to know he understood her. Goes a long way to show us how far Kratos has reflected on his life choices, how much he yearns to change.
Freya is like "You can't imagine the pain of losing a child"
Kratos fires back with "No, YOU cannot imagine the pain of having slain your child."
@@perrycarters3113 he didn't even mention the little reunion he had with his daughter. The pain of "dying twice" as some would say.
@@LMLR187and the whole ashes of the village are bonded to his skin
@@agiammarco94 wasn't the ashes just his family's?
@@LikeAChameleonyes
I love Freya's whole shock with "there was another. Before Atreus?" since at that point I think Freya was genuinely shocked.
Well when you think about it, lightning rarely strikes twice in the same place. The idea of one woman settling down with "Such a horrible man" might have been a fluke in her mind, realizing that there was another family may have made her realize he hasn't always been the man she knows.
@@Rixoli Thing is while spartan men were the spear it was the spartan woman that defended the home by going through the same brutal training.
@@mesiagamer5217
if I recall correctly, which I'm probably not doing
the males went through harsher treatment as women were actually treated with high respect, so while the women went through training, it wouldn't have been as brutal.
on the other hand, the only things we know of Sparta are from the ruins and the Greek philosopher Xenophon
@@djthefox6762 either way Spartan woman would have a similar mindset as the men as their entire society was to make great warriors supported by a large cast of slave labor for everything else.
@@mesiagamer5217 Oh i'm painfully aware of Spartan customs and lifestyle, the women didn't go through Agoge like the men do, they *are* physically and mentally prepared to defend the home though. Alot of warrior societies tend to have such mentality in that everyone bleeds the same when you stab them with a spear, whether it's a man or a woman holding it.
2:30 it’s actually interesting how Kratos is pretty critical of Sparta and how he didn’t want his son to go through what he went through
Technically he is not even a legit true born Spartan, he was RAISED in Sparta.
@@something4179 Being the Son of Zeus more then makes up for it though.
Well, spartans were bred for war and were one of the cruelest in rising their young to do so, Kratos wanting only to live in peace he would have rather not have his son go trough the same treatment as him for he would have rather have him learn how to survive rather than kill for a living.
Doesn't mean he doesn't like Sparta tho, a lot of his stories still show how much he misses the place and Greece in general
As someone who wishes to not see the same sh*t he went through ever again.
He probably questioned everything that could lead to it, his education included.
@@makairidah8354 The discipline of Sparta has its uses, but Kratos also understood that discipline was instilled solely for the purpose of war. Now, he tries to use it to focus and maintain control.
I had to google a reference here and I did not get disappointed at all
“I heard you did battle with beasts, scoundrels, princesses, the undead, automatons and history’s greatest musician. That’s not… that’s not true, is it?”
Kratos then simply replies: “I would not speak of this”.
The dialogue refers to PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale, a PS3 and Vita fighting game released in 2012 in which a number of PlayStation characters, including Kratos, fight in Smash Bros style battles.
Mimir’s question appears to refer to some of the game’s characters, such as Nathan Drake (a scoundrel), Fat Princess (a princess), Sir Daniel Fortesque from MediEvil (the undead) and either Clank or a BioShock Big Daddy (an automaton).
But it’s the line about “history’s greatest musician” that will please most long-time PlayStation fans, as it refers to cult hero PaRappa the Rapper, who starred in a series of rhythm games in the PS1 and PS2 era.
Cringe
@@akaliotp6766 🗿
I thought it was a nod to the Kratos dlc in Mortal Kombat 2011
@@eugennegurici8064 I can see with the others but I don't think any character from mortal kombat has that title of history's greatest musician. And if they did mention it, i think kratos will say when 2 gods from another realm bowed to him when he won against a powerful emperor.
@@ramsesgonzalez8618 I think by "History's Greatest Musician", it either refers to Sindel because of her screams, or Johnny Cage, because he's a Superstar. Although Cage might seem counterintuitive because he's an actor, I don't think Gods know what an actor is.
Atreus: did you have anything like ragnarok in your homeland?
Kratos: yes, me.
69 likes.noice.
I love that Kratos purposefully did not put his son through the same Spartan training he had in his youth. As if even he realizes how ruthless it was and he did not want his son to go through that.
He wanted to discipline his son, not abuse him, to make him not just a better warrior, but a better person
Atreus could do it easy though. I doubt any spartans could fight half the monsters in this game
@@dakingataleedo Then you should really read about their training
@@herobrinegreek9493 I have, Atreus is a god lol
@@dakingataleedo Their strength was fueled by the God of War.. at least the former one 😂
Out of all the voicelines, my favourite one is when Kratos mentions that his favourite thing to eat was Olives
“What the hell is an olive”
@@leonardolopez5426that creaked me up.
@@leonardolopez5426smartest man alive
Apparently the part where Mimir talks about Kratos fighting the "History's greatest musician" was PaRappa the rapper.
Knew I wasn’t the only one that noticed that. Can’t believe they referenced that game xD
Wait, so when Mimir mention "automatons" does he mean Raiden?
I like to think that segment was reference to both PSAS and MK 9
@@wingbeacon8760 There's also Clank, who is Ratchet's partner.
So it's canon.....
I want a DLC where we get to see Freya's and Mimir's reaction to Kratos:
1. Killing Poseidon.
2. Ripping Helios' head off.
3. The Hands of Death could not defeat me. The Sisters of Fate could not hold me. Speech.
“And you will not see the end of this day. I will have my revenge!” Gods that was so good.
@@DeinosDinos Better still "If all of Olympus will deny me my vengeance, then all on Olympus shall die".
Imagine mimir realizing theres was another head on kratos belt and it was pretty much a glorified lamp.
I had a dream literally about this, but along the lines of Athena, in an attempt to bring Kratos under her command, manages to use a power she obtained (which she did while not being around for Ragnarok), to make Kratos and Freya (saying this thinking of it like an endgame DLC, and I think Atreus would have a hard time with it...) fight against an illusion of the Ghost of Sparta. Peak Kratos, all his Olympian weapons and abilities from right before fighting Zeus. His anger, his rage, even bring back the old voice actor or someone who sounds like the old voice actor. And have Kratos and Freya fight for their very lives while Mimir has an existential crisis about Helios' head on Kratos' belt. "The parallelism of this situation is sheer lunacy, brother!" And just their reactions to being on the receiving end of that power, hell, imagine KRATOS' reaction to his old power. He may KNOW he was more powerful then, but imagine how he'd feel to have to fight that power directly.
@@volmaaraldovahkiin5346 Current Kratos is actually more powerful than his Greek self since Greek Gods are said to grow more powerful in their eternal life-span. And Kratos is said to be about 1000+ years old rn. It'd work just as well if she was gathering info about current Kratos made a replica of THAT version and gave him all of his old weapon and equipment. Now that'd be a nightmare lol
"You think you can even begin to understand the pain of losing a child?"
If there's something Kratos understands, it's exactly that. Also the Greek gods got a taste of that very pain.
Nah they were given a mouthful and more😂
And he didn’t even mention what happened to her remains.
@@camronkean4206he was the ragnorak
@@silverwurm Or her soul in the Elysium Fields
“I found peace on my own! It remains my responsibility to make it last” that is single handedly the best advice I’ve ever heard
It never occurred to me until now how massive a lore dump Freya just stating that "magic is bound to the earth" really is. That kind of reveals the basis for the entire magic system of the God of War world in all of two sentences.
Technically, one of the only form of magic Kratos was able to retain from Greece was the magic that allow the blade of chaos to produce fire. Don't know if the curse that prevent Kratos to get rid of the blade count as magic too.
@@Cafearmuire I'd say a curse still qualifies as magic. He also got to keep his more inherent godly magical abilities, but thats besides the point. Considering the reaction the blades got in Ragnarok though, I have to question if they're really "greek" weapons. Primordial fire and all.
Indeed.
Explains also why his powers might be somewhat diminished.
Well, his magic. More specifically.
With the exception being his blades, and his overall godhood.
@@sutoriimmortal2177 well, the blades are certainly greek. After all, they where made in the fiery pits of Tartarus by Hephaestus, following the designs of the former God of war Ares.
As for their source of power...
Certainly not greece. not the land. Nor any land.
Primordial elements are basically all the same in any creation myth of any land.
@@sutoriimmortal2177yeah Primordials created everything so since everything still exists I can see why he still has them
one thing i wished they mentioned in the game was krato’s actual appearance, explaining his scars, tattoos, or even his white skin. but everything this video is still more than nothing which i appreciate.
Same
I'd argue not everything should be shared unless it couldn't be avoided. Like, Kratos explaining why his skin is how it is would just be awkward in my opinion. It's a sensitive subject for him so handling it would be tricky
@@Owliare ya it would be very odd to just bring up and would feel forced. The only time I can think of it coming up naturally is when Atreus asked why he doesn't look like Kratos, then referring to his physical physique
I assume the Aesir would probably think think his tattoo makes him really strong. Since all the Aesir have very small and intricate tattoos all around their bodies for magical purposes but Kratos having one big red tattoo would probably make them think he's just a meathead with magic that makes him strong.
He does kinda mention it but not in the words he said about being tricked into destroying a village and ended up killing his old family.
Kratos really hit em with a "back in my day" line
This whole video is back in my day kratos edition
Considering how much the historical Vikings have traveled by sea, going everywhere from Constantinople to Morocco, from Iceland to the banks of the Volga River.... It makes perfect sense that the gods of the Norse world would know so much about the myths and legends of the Greek world that Kratos came from, with the stories and culture getting to them via trade and other cultural osmosis.
Týr did love to travel and share his culture with others.😄
Don’t forget they made it all the way to Canada!
I figure an entire pantheon getting massacred and a civilisation being destroyed is something that would get around to other gods.
Weirdly, one of the oldest historical records we have of an encounter with the Norse was a Greek explorer from well over 2000 years ago. He somehow made it up there and described them as taller, fairer, and stronger than most other peoples he encountered.

That and "death can have me when it earns me" are surely pretty gangster things he say
@@keatoncampbell820💀
@@LiefTheDroid That line and "I've killed greater gods than him" on the topic of Heimdall shows that while he may be a far more self-reflective and controlled now, Kratos still has 0 chill.
Kratos: you may remove her head, but that is the hard way.
Freya: which did you choose?
Kratos: The hard way..
Lol that is hard af
And it was indeed the hard way
I wish Kratos had talked to Atreus more about Deimos, or Colliope.
You know, just a mention that Deimos was what inspired his tattoo. Anything. The game is already so long, a single line could’ve fit somewhere.
Freya blocks a lot of good stuff from happening tbh, i don't even mind her character but she takes up so much screen time.
I honestly doubt he'd ever talk about calliope with him. That's a big sore spot for him and Atreus might take offense to him having murdered his last family. Kind of a hard thing to swallow your dad having done
if atreus knew calliope it would be like one of the hallucination later in the game where atreus can be seen running towards odin away from kratos and yelling "help me allfather, he is a monster"
I think they may be saving that revelation for Atreus that Kratos had a family before him, probably in the next game. Kratos never fully explained the extent of his rampage in Greece (understandably so), so it'll definitely be some drama for them in the future.
@@BababooeyGooey I hope so
“Burned Olympus to the ground” yes kratos, yes we did indeed.
7:26 Brings one back to what Master Oogway said: "One often meets his destiny on the road he takes to avoid it".
Welcome to greek mythology
In Odins case idk
Glad they mentioned Calliope in the game , maybe Calliope of Sparta is a story for another day.
I mean it could be cool but I also like the idea that she is at peace. And Kratos knows she's safe and would never put her in danger again so he's happier being out of her life
@@jefferycrouse4652 that right , but from chains of Olympus we know kratos can't go to Elysium because the curse of Persephone , so kratos didn't know anything about her after that , and we know what Greece was like at the end of gow3 , So that would be a good point to create a new story maybe like bloodborne
@@HaiderAli-kb2on Since the easter egg post ending of 3 have the three wise men, Calliope probably chilling in Heaven.
@@alexanderkarvos1361 god really said: alright kratos just destroyed Greece YOINK ahh there now you and your mama can watch your father and new brother journey together :)
@@theenderdestruction2362 God was just a newly formed idea from an oppressed people before Kratos started killing the gods and He decided to let all souls into the new realm He made
Kratos sparing Atreus the atrocities of his former lifestyle is one of the greatest gifts he could give him kratos never got the chance to just be a kid but he’s trying to give that chance to his son
The way Freya's voice broke when she learned how Colliape died made me choke a bit, only then did she learn there IS a greater pain than watching someone murder your child.
And that is called character writing and development
@@camronkean4206 Damn fine character writing.
"and yet.. the guilt remains.." seeing Kratos look back on his actions and feel nothing but guilt and unworthiness just shows his build in character. love to see his growth
I like he is the only one who actually speaks like a poet.. other's word are too straightforward and "modern-like"
Apparently that's how Spartans were actually taught to speak back then
When you think about it he always talked like that, even when pissed off
Everyone speaks casually, Kratos speaks Laconic.
greek and orators CLUELESS
@@kevinkaslana9060 Fun fact for Laconic witticism (A style of speech unique to Laconia, the region of Greece Sparta resides in), Such individuals tend to, as I put it, make like a spear and have a point.
One of the prime examples of this was Philip II of Macedonia, Alexander the Great's father. He threatened the rulers of Sparta and tried to intimidate them into toeing the line like most of the rest of Greece and threatened "If I march into Sparta, your men will be put to the sword and your children enslaved" or something to that effect.
Ever the tough son of a bitches they were, they responded with one word:
If
Basically daring them to come and try their luck. Philip left Sparta the fuck alone.
Kratos forgot one other problem growing up in Sparta: always coming home with your ass sore.
Freya: From the beatings right?😅
Kratos: 😠
Freya: From the beatings right?😦
IM GREEK NINJA SHOW ME
5:35 bro is that a God damn Playstation all stars reference
I think the story of how Hephaestus made Pandora is the first time Kratos started talking about his past entirely unprompted. With Deimos it's at least relevant to the situation, but in Alfheim he shared for the sake of sharing. Sucks that he cut straight to the end.
Really puts into perspective how, in the last game, Kratos told Freya, "You don't know me."
the contest he speaks of at the 5:40 ish mark is the game PlayStation All-Stars BattleRoyal
That's so cool hearing Kratos teach Atreus a little Greek.
5:30 This line is actually a reference to Playstation All Stars
I’m so glad someone else in here acknowledges this 😂 considering kratos himself wont confirm nor deny it 😂 , I would like to think he ended up there on his way to the Norse land
I'm so happy to see Deimos's name be mentioned
He would've been such a cool uncle
"But that is the hard way"
"Which did you choose"
"The hard way"
"Forget I asked"
🤣🤣
1:38
"Oh, yeah. I forgot to mention that their ashes are permanently attached to my skin, which is why I'm as pale as snow."
I wonder why they didn't let Kratos tell them that
“I found peace on my own. It remains my responsibility to make it last” that’s really deep
I totally love how evrytime freya doubt if kratos can feel what kind of pain she's suffering, it's basically a huge mistake evrytime, and she understand it little by little.. Nicely done. 😄
"It is difficult to seek forgiveness when you feel unworthy" ~Kratos
I like the fact that kratos is being more open with Atreus about his past
You forgot about when you get the spear and brok mentions that he's familiar with it and he says it's the first weapon a spartan learns
3:19 Kratos literally said "Bitch what?"
atreus :" you've never have anything like ragnarok on your side?"
kratos : " boi, i am ragnarok"
Ygros, Greek for Humid. I hope Atreus travels there even for a while. Wanna see how Greek is after all that happened. Probably won’t see Kratos back there but I wanna see how Atreus reacts to the world after all that
Given how many Norse traded with the Greeks and served the Emperor ruling Greece as Varangians, it really isn't too much of a stretch for Atreus and other of his Norse compatriots to make it there
These stories are so interesting because you get to hear it from a matured perspective from Kratos. The GoW games before the Norse arc were more bloody and combat focused so you could say they didn’t emphasize story telling as much. To hear them from Kratos’s perspective after many years of thorough reflection is a new way of looking at the events in Olympus. It has aged like wine because we know Kratos’s story and all the things he’s been through
5:47 im pretty sure hes talking about playstation allstars here
Freya: even in death they are never truly gone. our loved ones are always with us.
Kratos: especially when the previous god of war fuses their ashes to your skin, turning you from a tan skinned greek into a paper white ghost.
Freya: WHAT?
Kratos:what?
JUST NOW I REALIZED NO ONE KNOWS THAT KRATOS PALENESS IS BECAUSE OF THE ASHES OF HIS FAMILY LMAO
This is what makes the prospect of Mimir tagging along to react to another mythology so exciting for dialogue
Kratos: Or you remove her head, The hard way

I did not expect to get a Boondocks Reference on a God of War video, but here we are.
Nice Job
The scene when kratos has to forsake his daughter to save the world from persephone.
Man that scene hurt.
“Death can have me when it has earned me” one of the coldest lines from kratos
I was a child when I played God of War Ghost of Sparta on my PSP and now to hear this again is heartbreaking.
Atreus:- I've heard about this powerful god, he was so strong how did he died?
Kratos:- 😳
Imagine being the guy who beat Kratos, and seeing him become the god of war.
I really hope they follow Atreus and make a spin-off for him. Kratos is in such a good spot now, I don’t see how he could get in a better one and to just take it all away would fucking suck.
4:17
Atreus: So you’ve never had anything like Ragnarok on your side?
Kratos WAS Ragnarok😂
He had like 6 ragnarok sized monsters on his side and most of them got bodied in MINUTES
@@toe_gripsBut in the end he was the true ragnorck😂
Can't wait for the next saga to start (Egyptian, Celtic perhaps?), and Kratos continues to tell stories from his past travels, now including his Nordic adventures.
I think Celtic is a bad idea. Too similar to the Norse world. (Ireland is also a Northern country where its very cold. But I guess there's more forests?)
Egypt makes most sense. A totally different landscape once again near advanced civilization. Egyptian civilization is on par with Greek in terms of population or complexity.
It would make lots of sense for it to be Celtic. The Norse invaded many Celtic lands, especially Ireland and founded the city of Dublin. The Germanic people who worshipped the Norse gods also would have come into conflict with the Celts.
However, when Cory Barlog showed artwork for what Kratos and Atreus would face next, right after GoW 2018's release, he showed them in Egypt facing a sphinx. Norse and Greeks did have plenty of encounters in Egypt. One original plan was for Kratos to meet his Norse and Egyptian counterparts (and then after killing the pagan gods, they'd welcome Christ as the Three Wise Men) so Egypt has been in the God of War plans for a long time. The Egyptians even have myths about their gods usurping each other, to reflect when different gods were worshipped with more prominence, like Isis taking Ra's position as chief god, so it could be quite fitting to have Kratos and Atreus aid some better gods in overthrowing the more unjust ruling Egyptian gods.
I saw somewhere that the creator of GoW said that the idea of Egypt was before Norse, but it's too close to Greece, that's why they didn't go there, and maybe won't
@@MegaKnight2012 The Egyptian gods are ruthless, may be just as bad as the greek pantheon, for sure the Egyptian mytho's is worse than Norse so having a game where Kratos fights the likes of Ra, Osiris, Seth, and Anubis sounds insane yet can be a possible next game for the series
@@Cruddy129 It wouldn't be surprising, though maybe it's because my knowledge of Egyptian gods is lacking that it seems surprising that they could be more ruthless than the Greeks, led by that famous of rapists, Zeus. One unpleasant Egyptian myth of gods trying to wrong the other comes to mind, and another when Ra was usurped by a goddess through magical control, but that's about it
whats really great about this elder kratos is that he has si much wisdom and knowledge to share. teachs not just the characters of the game but us as well. fucking awesome
They somehow managed to shove PlayStation All Stars into his back story lol
7:44 “Mm. E-girls.”
Why not add the bit about him craving olives. With Mimir asking what an olive is.

Everytime Freya thinks she has suffered more than anyone, Kratos tells her a lil' tale
I'm so happy both found happiness in the end
Wish we got to see Greece or Athena...
I mean to be fair, we did see Athena briefly in the last game
Freya: now that the distractions are out of the way.
Kratos: 😈

love how Fraya says he wouldnt understand how she feels losing a child then he proceeds to give a situation 100x worse than hers that he had to endure.
Freya : Kratos … tell me more about your homeland
Kratos : its was Violent and cruel
Freya : Hmm , sound just like these land
Kratos : It was warmer …
Freya: ………..
Was not expecting a direct mention of Deimos in this game, that was a nice surprise
This game has some of the best dialogue I’ve ever heard. It’s really feels like it’s Kratos (or whoever the character) is talking and it’s not a bunch of writers with different views
6:27 How far Kratos has come
5:24 Kratos over here straight up saying "Don't bring up mortal kombat, don't bring up soul caliber"
It was PlayStation all stars not the only two
"I would not match my son to war, he is no spartan! I would keep it that way."

The beauty of "the tournament" reference is that it is a double reference to both Playstation All-Stars and Mortal Kombat. Both of which had all of the mentioned ... up until the musician part. haha
I like how you can hear Freya's shock at how Kratos was specifically tricked into killing his own family.
It's one thing to have family turn against you. It's one thing to turn against family.
It's a completely separate and horrible thing to just be doing your normal routine and suddenly realize you just destroyed your family.
Freya is lucky that she has an explanation for why she made Baldur hate her. She's lucky in that she has people to blame for his death.
Kratos, meanwhile, got the rawest deal. He doesn't have the luxury of being able to pin the blame solely on Ares, since Ares wasn't the man that killed them; Kratos was. He was just doing through the motions when he butchered the people he loved, because in his mind "why would they even be here?"
It’s amazing how it’s now Kratos telling the stories instead of Mimir. Incredible character development. One tender moment where Kratos is able to open up about his time as a Spartan general with Atreus opened the flood gates for a whole wellspring of stories for Kratos to tell.
I would not be surprised if kratos was able to summon lightning at his will again, once he visits other pantheons.
5:18 had me dead, idk why
4:32 Ain't no way , Freya is like - "Who asked ?"
That bitch 😂
Kratos: There was Medusa, Queen of the Gorgons. Her gaze turned men to stone. A mirror would turn her own powers against her. Or...you may remove her head. But that is the hard way.
Freya: Which did you choose?
Kratos: The hard way.
I like how he dreads his past so much and still sounds offended at the idea the tales about him were exaggerated. lol
Kratos: "I have the most tragic backstory ever."
Freya: "Jesus fucking Christ. Suddenly my problems don't feel so bad."
Kratos: "I am glad."
When Freya says “There was another…” it was like I could feel her surprise and that’s why it’s one of my favorite interactions
That last part explains how he lost his thunder summon power in GOW2. And that votex tornado power from GOW3. Shame. I love that power attack from it...
great content jon keep it up
Freya: "You could never understand the pain of losing a child!"
Kratos: "Bitch I am WEARING HER as we speak!"
I always loved this, the fact that he mentions his past in Greece knowing true tragedy of what he went through back then.
it was honestly one of the things I was hoping was mentioned in this game, as the previous reason for the whole situation it made sense that no mention was made
Okay..... now I fully expect Kratos to become a massive giant, or weild elemental powers + in future games again. I didn't think about it until they brought it up
5:21 that "automatons" is referring to Raiden from MGR/Playstation Battle Royale
And the world's greatest musician is referring to Parappa the Rapper in Playstation Battle Royale
I do wonder how Freya would have reacted to hearing that kratos skin is covered in his wife's and child's ashes
