Ironically, there is a way to erase Kratos’ memories. In Greek Mythology, there is a river called the Lethe in the Underworld. It is said that the dead who drink from the river would lose all memory of their past selves.
It still hits hard, the gall the gods had in leading Kratos on all that time and then saying "we forgive you of the evils you've committed, but we will not save you from your pain". They think their judgement is so valuable that it justifies everything they made Kratos do and even lying to him about what his payment for doing it all would actually be. As Mimir said: "I know the Greek pantheon had it coming.".
Yeah, suppose with the game’s near future success at the time and future games yet to come they could’ve left the game as a one offer if they wanted to. But then cues the success and yeah, I think it’s safe to say they’re retconned don’t worry about those future wars that Kratos will be watching.
Under certain context, the flashes of the future wars can still be canon. By the time those wars would come to pass, Ancient Greece has already long fallen and we see that the post-GOW3 Greece has chronicled Kratos and his antics on pottery (via the Kratos vase that was in Tyr's Temple in GOW2018). Obviously by that point, accuracy of details would become more and more diluted from the truth so it does all pan out.@@createrz8433
1:25 I genuinely thought Kratos never abbreviated his words. Yet here he says "you've" instead of "you have". I guess he really does it, just very rarely.
You can still blame Olympus for its own downfall. Had Zeus never attempted to avoid the prophecy of the Marked Warrior by force and if Ares never manipulated Kratos through his oath of service to kill his family, Kratos would have never become the very Marked Warrior that the prophecy warned of (and since Zeus knew what would happen if the box was opened, he had to have some idea that the evils could affect Olympus). Couple that with Olympus concealing the truth of the service Kratos was performing for a whole decade, only to all but force him to take the throne of the man who destroyed his life, and Zeus giving into his paranoia by killing Kratos (a man who he knew had escaped Hades before), and it’s no wonder what Kratos vowed to destroy Olympus, inadvertently fulfilling the prophecy of the Marked Warrior.
@@SpaceCase132and in the end, he helped save Greece by giving the people the power of hope rather than giving it to Athena and based from what Tyr said they are recovering
I would have said yes before valhalla. But I think tyr was right. Those feelings always existed in Zues. He killed his own wife cause hus child with her was supposed to kill him. He feared Ares would try to overtake him and favoured Athena. He feared the prophecy of the marked warrior and kidnapped Diemos. He feared for everything a long time before the box was even open. Or even made for that fact.
if you destroy the statues of the minotaur and ares you get an easter egg "in the us version you get a phone number to hear kratos and in the euro version its just in the game"
I think if Ares was the same size as Tyr, that Tyr would win. when you fight him in Valhalla especially when he pulls out certain weapons he is shown to be one of the highest tier combatants Kratos has actually faced and I believe he would style on Ares. but Again Ares is massive, it doesn't matter how good you are with a blade when the person you are fighting is like 30 feet tall and can obliterate your body with one swing (just ask Freyr)
