@@alienelephant4721 Heimdall didn't get that kind a treatment, he got slowly choked to death :) Having your neck snapped is instant death, choking takes a while
I love how Haephestos says "a weapons such as this can't be rushed" and then proceeds to create it by within 30 seconds. Proves just how skilled of a smith he is.
The gods all call Kratos a coward and yet they've all displayed disgusting amounts of cowardice while Kratos displays nothing but absolute determination, confidence and conviction.
@@mannyblackstar It was mostly just ares, Zeus and Athena (and persephone, but that’s from chains of Olympus). The rest he only killed because they were defending their home and king.
@@Acirclee yet we’re talking about the replacement or interim God of War, so they’re all equal at this point. However, to OPs point, that’s why his evolution in the new series is so impactful. No longer being blinded by the rage and vengefulness that consumed him in the initial series of games.
I like how kratos actually tries being a calm and reasonable person while talking to hercules because he can see hercules is blinded by greed and jealousy but still attempts to convince him to mind his own business becuase he'll die otherwise.
@@harvesterofhitpoints4597 I read a while back that apparently when Kratos took Ares office as the new God of War, Hercules was the only Olympian to actually show respect to him. Everyone else acted as if he was unwanted but Hercules treated him fairly. That is why in their encounter he tried to talk him down somewhat before fighting him. He was left with no choice but tried to be reasonable.
I feel like that's the reason why kratos was so adamant on sparing thor in Ragnarok. He saw hercules in him and he didn't want to have to kill a potential ally again.
If you think about it. He tried to ignore Helios, Hermes and Hera as well but they wanted to fight. Same with Hephaestus actually too. They all tried to fight him when if they had stepped aside they would had lived. Granted Hephaestus had the best reason to go against Kratos which was to save his daughter. Also geez a lot of these guy’s names start with an H.
It looks like that's because he was actually listening to Hermes and didn't disagree with his criticism of Kratos' character. Proving him wrong became central to his character arc in the Norse saga.
@@NotAGoodUsername360 is that so? I thought kratos sée its not worth it to waste breath with this childish big mouth of harmes and needs talk with actuall growns up
I like to imagine a possible conversation with Thor while they fight Thor: So you murdered a whole pantheon cause they hurt your feelings. Even that so called big shot Zeus. What could that weakling even do? Kratos: He could control lightning Thor: *Wait, what*
IT is weird indeed. Everywhere I comment, people tell me how much they love me and my content. Sometimes IT is annoying. But right now, IT would be okay. So say something nice about my content, dear es
She just wanted Zeus gone. Zeus wouldn't do shit to the world after dying. Hera killed everything Helios blocked out the sun Hermes released plague Poseidon fuckin flooded the earth and Hades poured demons onto whatever was left
@@vaewr2671 Zeus is Olympus, as stated by Athena, also theres no way she can kill Zeus without killing some other gods since the chances of her and kratos killing him and only him were so low imagine if the other gods teamed up, thats why she helped Kratos kill Poseidon. Gaya is the same as the Gods, delusional.
I love how Kratos doesn't immediately kill Hera because she's so drunk and pathetic, she's not even worth it. So he gives her chances to walk away. But she kept pushing him and pushing him until he finally snapped (her neck).
40 years later... Oncologist: Kratos, this mole on your hand looks pretty suspicious. We're going to have to perform a biopsy... Kratos: *HELIOOOOOSSSSS*
I'm so weak that he doesn't even need to see a circle prompt to kill me. He can just press circle near me and do a grab to kill me faster than me trying to count up to 1.
I love how when Zeus says “look around” the camera pans around the room but when it cuts back to Kratos it immediately reveals that Kratos is completely fixated on him the whole time
Heres all the deaths 1:58: Kratos blinds Poseidon 4:50: Kratos rips Hades' soul 7:08: Kratos kills Helios 9:37: Kratos smashes Hermes 10:19: Hermes Fly 13:42: Kratos smashes Hercules' face 17:41: Cronos gets slayed by Kratos 20:47: Hephaestus gets impaled 23:43: Hera gets a snap in the neck 28:16: Pandora dies in the flame 20:41: Zeus gets stabbed by his own son 20:47: Gaia gets killed by Kratos Unfortunately The creator has to follow RU-vid's guidelines so there wouldnt be any brutal deaths shown. You can search them up on a full fight version.
I like to imagine this is what Heimdall saw just before Kratos killed him since he can look into a person’s mind and sense their intentions. Which is why his final word was, “Monster…”
@@camronmcclary4093 Well if true to the mythology, you're right, but.. When Heimdall meets Atreus, he knows Atreus intends to backstab Odin.. but doesn't seem to know the details. But then later, Heimdall talks to Thor, and seemingly reads his mind, calling him a "sick man". So yea, the game doesn't really make it clear.
Kratos before: MURDER AND DEATH Kratos now: I’m chill unless either I hate you, you harm me, or the boy Edit: also how is he still alive , he killed the gods, and the literal earth
@PokeBroken this is corny asf bro what have you been playing?? 😭💀 Ragnarok is by far the best god of war game Kratos development as a character is a whole lot better than the hot headed blood lusted monster in 1-3 he is BY FAR a better character now than he ever was 😂😂
@PokeBroken I didn’t say not one thing about graphics Kratos character became better you’re stuck in the past bro people change its natural and he didn’t “suddenly change” he found a women he liked and learned what humanity is he literally became a better person brah
@@smokedsanjl Kratos was already a well written, deep character in the OG games. Stop pretending like the new games added never before seen depth to the character, the development he goes through in the new games wouldn't work at all if it weren't for the OG games.
@@HoTSh0T2312 it wouldn’t work because he evolved I never said he wasn’t well written I said he’s by far better written now the story and lore of the new games are superior that’s what I was saying
I always love how Cronos calls Kratos a coward who kills his own kin while Cronos was so unbelievably afraid of one prediction that he decided to literally eat all of his kids in the vain hope that they would never be capable of competing with him
@Im Anonymous Saturn is the other name of cronos I think. That’s where we got the names of the planets from, the titans and Greek gods (like mars being the Roman name of ares)
@Im Anonymous That's the roman pantheon. All the planets are roman-based names but essentially are the same gods with the same story eg: Hermes=Mercury and Jupiter=Zeus
Just realized that Kratos always takes a moment to look around world whenever he kills a god and what consequence that bring. It just hits much more different when he said "There are consequences when killing a god" to Atreus. He was so scared that carelessly killing modi might bring a catastrophe in one of the realms, possibly midgard. He couldnt careless of what happens to Olympus, but he cares about the world that has given him a second chance in family and life.
It was definitely done this way to show how blinded by revenge Kratos was at this point. It wasn’t until he finally kills Zeus that he get a look at what he has truly done.

@@ZoroTheHumbleFurry Wasn't it cause Hera was a mortal? He knew she posed no threat but I'm guessing he got hella tired of her trash talking but it's when she mentioned Pandora he snapped.
@@Diamond_2403 nope I think the reason she didn’t pose a threat is because she was only the goddess of marriage and women- so yeah she would be effectively the weakest god
I like how poseidon had almost 0 beef with Kratos and still got murked in the most brutal way possible. Edit: i meant that Kratos and Poseidon had no personal beef before the events of gow took place. All he wanted to do was to stop Kratos from disrespecting the gods. But you know how that went 😅 Edit 2: im reading now and im starting to not feel bad for Poseidon (He went for his mom?! Unforgivable)
nah poseidon make kratos and spartan's boat destroy when they trying to finding a flower that can save kratos'daugther and when kratos destroy atlantic and earning him is the wrath of poseidon
@@AEsirGodOfThunder but not the fact that santa monica won't make u victorious in next part ,but with due respect i am impatient to see thor's entry❤️❤️in god of war
just for reference :) Poseidon - God of the sea, storms, earthquakes and horses 🌊 Hades - God of the dead and riches ☠ Helios - God and personification of the Sun ☀ Hermes - God of boundaries, roads and travelers, thieves, athletes, shepherds, commerce, speed, cunning, wit, magic and sleep 🏃♂ Hercules - God of strength and heroes 💪🏽 Cronos - God of the harvest 🌿 Hephaestus - God of fire, metalworking, stone masonry, forges, the art of sculpture, technology, and blacksmiths 🔥 Hera - Goddess of marriage, women, marital harmony, and the protector of women during childbirth 💏 Pandora - First mortal woman in Greek mythology 👩🏻 Zeus - God of the sky, lightning, thunder, law, order, and justice ⛈ Gaia - Primordial goddess and personification of the Earth 🌎
More accurate revision: Poseidon : The original was correct Hades : God of the Underworld “Plutus” was the God and personification of riches or wealth. Helios: The original post was correct Hermes: Wasn’t really a God per se, but he did represent a lot of things, except sleep. That was “Hypnos” Hercules: Wasn’t really a God either. He was born mortal, but some depictions value him as said God of Strength and Heroes. Kronos: God of Time, more of a Titan than a God, but is still referred to as God of Time. “Demeter” is Goddess of harvest. Hephaestus: The original was correct Hera: The original post was correct Pandora: Somewhat of a Earth goddess, but original post was accurate enough. Zeus: King of the Gods and humans. The original posts was somewhat accurate. Gaia: The original post is correct.
*Poseidon:* No matter how many Gods fall, there will be another to stand against you *Kratos:* They will fall as well *GOW fans:* Basically, the series will continue
So that means he'll eventually get to the gods of American continent? Those Aztec gods like to get killed, hang out in the underworld to kill some other gods, then pop back up to life!
Well GOW2018 already tease Egyptian and Japanese pantheon. And now we learn that Ragnarok is the conclusion of Norse saga, is just a matter of time before Kratos become a threat to either Amun-Ra or Amaterasu
@@shawziiz5031 Osiris is already dead. How are they gonna arrange it so that Kratos kills him again? Oh wait ..I forgot Isis had Osiris' body put back together after Set cut it into pieces & sent it floating down the Nile in a box. Are they really gonna have Kratos tear it up again?😅 And I guess Kratos will interfere when Susano starts pooping & pissing all over Amaterasu's throne again. Just how many gods using thunder & lightening that Kratos has killed will that make?
I never realized how the death of each God also destroys the aspect of the world they represent. It's a great touch that shows how evil Kratos had become.
He only intended to kill Zeus. He even tells some of them to pretty much get out of the way. But, If all of Olympus shall deny me my vengeance, then all of Olympus shall fall
@@mgbm8335 All the Gods were consumed by the Evils of the great war. Zeus: Fear Poseidon: Anger Hades: Hatred Helios: Deceit Hercules: Envy and Jealousy Hermes: Cowardess Athena: Greed
The battle Hercules was my favorite. It displayed enviable strength and power. The soundtrack "Guardian of the Sun" from the start of this battle is my favorite and is on my Playlist.
So aphrodite is the only god that survived this massacre then If memory serves, she's still getting her freak on with her attendants/servants after kratos left
@@KazuDiabolis I think God of War made Apollo and Helios the same person, just different titles. They're both the God of the Sun, and God of War Helios uses themes of both Mythology Helios and Mythology Apollo.
By far my favorite thing about the God of War series is the fact that (at least in the ones before the 2018 game) they make it very clear that Kratos is NOT the good guy in this. There aren't any good guys, it's just people doing what they want for the reasons they want and Kratos fucking things up trying to get revenge. There's moments where it makes you empathize with the characters but there's never really a feeling of "I'm doing this for the greater good" its just all self satisfaction beating the shit out of assholes
To be fair, the gods were being incredibly unfair to him. Making him a God of war regardless of how emotionally disturbed and mentally distressed he is (just wanting his nightmares to end, not revenge btw), destroying Sparta.
@@gonefishing9781 I kinda like that it's not in that game. They took Kratos as a character in a different direction than most people would've expected and imo they did it pretty well
Gow4 is like a kratos who wants a family that he doesnt kill by mistake and proves raising a boy is harder than killing gods and likes saying "boy".👨👦
Kratos has really hurt Hades, even though he has a monstrous voice you can actually hear the anger and despair in it. If you listen carefully you can actually hear his voice tremble as he says "And it was you who butchered my beautiful queen", phenomenal performance from the voice actor.
This game was good , the story telling, animations , the combat and use of weapons especially the chains where smooth asl, the details, I remember beating this game like 20x and never felt dull or forced playing it. This game was truly a masterpiece.
Absolutely insane how much kratos really holds back in 4 and 5, like dude killed an entire pantheon for shits and gigs but now bro struggles against a marauder with the leviathan axe😭 crazy how he is willing to hold all that back for Atreus
He don't want to be a monster in front of his son But he had no reason to not let the inner monster out against Odin the only reason would be to let his child choose to spare Odin or not, but Odin is already as insane as Zeus is so I don't see the point.
@@Sweet1738 it’s a point said in game that it is a personal decision, but some of it is because lost most of the powers of the Greek Pantheon when Greece fell.
They’d probably be too clouded by their pride to care. Probably say some cliche shit like “Oh how to mighty have fallen! Guess Olympus wasn’t as strong as they say to have been destroyed by a mere mortal!” Even after all the stuff Kratos has done, and all he heard, Thor still wanted smoke, and even mocked Kratos in order to let out the true god of war… Boy was Thor lucky that Kratos has changed since then or it would’ve been a blood bath.
@@Minicario the Egyptian pantheon didn't take it lightly tho. When kratos came to their lands, or rather just passed by. Not a single god dared cross him ( except thoth, but that was in one of his dreams so it don't count ), probably because of fear or worse, the entire fall of their own pantheon.
It was really unnerving seeing Kratos not only show Pandora mercy but to show concern for her as well, even going as far as to not let her sacrifice herself for the power to defeat Zeus, even though that's what he was going for the whole game.
I'm actually offended for Kratos whenever the Norse gods scoff at his power. Every time he fights a Norse god, they basically tell him, "I know you utterly destroyed Zeus, and Hermes, and Hades, and Cronos, and Gaia, and Poseidon... But can you beat me LMAO" Boi, young Kratos would've gone toe-to-toe with Ragnarok, himself.
@dead fishing Because of arrogance. They believe that they're simply more powerful. Kinda hard to accept that someone like Kratos, not even a full god, can kill you when you're supposed to be an all powerful being. So arrogance on top of denial.
@@deadfisher0000Probably to talk the talk and convince themselves he will die and they can kill him. If you’re facing an opponent like Kratos you gotta have some type of confidence.
The Norse Gods has no idea that the Kratos they're fighting was nerfed. If Kratos still has all the powers & abilities he gained for murdering the whole Pantheon. God of War: Ragnarok would end pretty quickly.
@@lebrante001 He still have that power but he is holding back for the sake of his son. He's not a heartless murderer anymore after Atreus born he slowly change. That's why Thor always say on Kratos in their fight that he's stop holding back and fight him at full power.
Hermes: "Kratos on a fool's errand... again" Kratos: *squints in killed plenty gods already, escaped underworld three times and literally bent time because he was too angry to die*
The scale and the graphics were absolutely insane for a 2010 game, people doubted ps3 capabilities, but Sony's first party studios really made it shine. It's hard to express how mind-blowing it was when I first played GoW 3, I've never seen anything like that before, and even today not many games have this level of spectacle and level of detail.
I mean these days, it’s not super hard to find games that meet or surpass it. Age will catch up with any great game, but for its time, it definitely was great.
@@kaijuslayer3334 Press X for doubt. GoW is one of a kind, GoW III being the best of the bunch. Even playing GoW 2018 is good, but definitely doesn't give back the primordial feeling you had when playing the first 3 games.. (and yes, 4 was bad) PSP versions were awesome also.
@@drinksomestew8159 even the non remastered version is insane for the time. I remember a whole spread in gameinformer saying how the ps2 wouldn't even be able to render kratos' model in gow3 even without textures.
Oooooh I get it. Wow Kratos had sense of humor even back then. Hermes: "you may have been able to defeat me". Kratos heard " de-feet me". Results...yes.
Yeah that's what kratos meant when he said that he killed many who were deserving and many who were not. His motives were understandable but the way he went about it was not.
