I swear I've been working on a longer video. I just saw more Kratos comments and took one day to make this. Thanks to Adam B from Ludohistory for helping me with my research. Check out his channel! / ludohistory #NorseMythology
i just love when he tries to explain stuff about kratos because most people think he is as cool as they show in the games but he is actually not the important lmao
he's not 'not that important', he's just 'not', he doesn't exist, he was never a thing, he is made up by the game creators, there was a guy called kratos, but the game creators just took the name
Jake, dont you understand? By mentioning Kratos *even once* , by dripping even a single drop of blood into the ocean of gamers, you have activated their bloodlust and the sharks are now circling your boat. *They hunger for Kratos, Jake. And they will stop at nothing until they are satisfied with your unholy offering*
The algoritm of RU-vid could not defeat us , the lack of videos could not hold us , and he WILL give us what we want …. What about Kratos part 3 babyyyyyyyy
What about Kratos ties to the Egyptian mythology? After the Norse the creators said they want to go to Egypt next. What God will Kratos steal his role from? Can you theorize!?!?!?!?!
Hey jake love your channel. On a side note, can you do Egyptian myth? I just think it would be interesting since they have pretty interesting stories and all
@@thegloriousdipshit4274 in Greek myth after Zeus and his siblings defeat Cronus and an even worse creature(I don't remember what it's called) shows up then zeus's siblings fled to Egypt and became the Egyptian gods for awhile
@@Bro-hx3eq a better explanation for their confusion is: the norse saga games are a LOT more popular and well known than the greek ones because they follow the exact same formula as every other AAA game on the market. Bla bla bla open world, bla bla bla cinematic cutscene, bla bla bla skill trees, bla bla bla play the game your own way
@@n00bxl71 I know why you would think that. But in ancient times, when Rome conquered people, they thought the conquered people's gods were the same as the Roman gods but with different names. They thought Odin was Mercury/Hermes because they are both tricksters and travel a lot.
In other words, it’s creative liberty in which they assumed Kratos moved to Scandinavia after the fall of the Greek pantheon and become known as Farbauti there. The end lol
You could have also mentioned that in Norse Mythology Loki has two brothers. One of them is Helblindi, who's name means 'hell blind', I think and the other is Býleistr who's name doesn't have a clear translation. In all fairness, they don't do anything in the mythology which is a shame.
What's crazy is that Kratos running from the flood and going to Midgard was learned before it even came out. Not to mention, every other npc explains that he was not from Norse pantheon.
I'd try to refrain from using the word Mythology when talking about living religions, it's technically correct since the original definition of Myth doesn't imply it being false, but the modern one does.
@@KingsBard I'm sorry if I offended you the reason I used mythology was because of how Greek and Roman mythology were religions for the Greeks and Romans
Faye, Kratos' wife is supposed to be Laufey in the GOW games, and Atreus was SUPPOSED to be named Loki, but Kratos was very adamant on Atreus. I think it's neat how they kept some character relations the same in the games compared to the original mythology, even if it isn't historically correct at all.
Interesting note in the Games the Role is Reversed with Faye being a Giant and Kratos being "God of Hope, Death Destroyer of Worlds, Son of Zeus, still has Hades soul and literally murdered predestination"
If they had to make another god of war game (god of war harderer) and you could choose which pantheon of gods would be included (besides Norse and Greek) which group would you pick? Are there other pantheons that are interesting that you found while getting your degree?
It’s stupid how people STILL don’t know Kartons isn’t actually in Norse mythology, and for the people who don’t know, he has never existed up until around 2018.
The point was that they took a figure in Greek (and Norse) Methology that there wasn’t a lot on so they could play around and do their own stuff, pretty smart.
Speaking Of Mythological Being That Are Way Less Important Then People Make Them Out To Be, Could You Do A Video About Icarus Please? I'm Curious About How He Was As A Person, His Family, & If He's In Any Other Myths Aside From His Main One.
His father, Daedalus, is the creator of the Minotaur labyrinth. It's not exactly what you asked for but I think it's a cool concept he appears in more than one story.

Kratos specially in the Greek saga of games takes the actions of a bunch of characters, Heracles (Hercules if you're slow) Typhon, Perseus and many more. He does the same in the norse saga up until now, so it's consistent.
Haha what about zageruas Haha what about that one Beekeeping God from Greek mythology Or a little scarab dude that represents the dawn from Egyptian mythology ooh or even the fire god from Japanese mythology. I don't remember how to spell his name. Or maybe you could talk about Maui's brothers or that one time Loki ate some evil woman's heart and gave birth to like all the troubles that ravaged humanity
Can't wait for Sony Santa Monica Studios to see this video and immediately announce God of War: Book of the Dead, where Kratos kills all the Egyptian gods and sets Apophis loose upon the Earth.
Holy shit, I was just trying to make a joke. I didn't even realize that the GoW developers actually did express an interest in doing Egyptian mythology.
I have a Kraos-related question to ask you that’s worth responding to: If Farbauti is the father of Loki, wouldn’t he also be the father of Odin? (Since Odin and Loki are blood-brothers?)
Odin's father is Borr. Odin and Loki are not related, they're "blood brothers" because they mixed their blood together as part of a ritual. We don't know why they did this, but it can be assumed it's a big reason the Aesir put up with Loki for so long.
Wait a second I'm pretty sure that kartos is in every mythology. You need make sure of that and post a hundred videos about kartos in different mythologys for me to be satisfied. From a RU-vid comment
I wanna know if you played any of the God of War games. Especially the 2018 one. And I'd love to hear your review on it especially your thoughts on the story. Since God of War Ragnarok is coming soon.
All this talk about Kratos, I'm interested if there's any worthwhile content to be made about Deimos, the Greek god of terror and also, GoW Kratos had a brother named Deimos, which is why he came to mind whats with GoW Kratos' parents naming their kids after semi-obscure Greek deities
