It's like Mimir said: Kratos hated the gods, and that included his son. He had to change his mind for the greater good. <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="298">4:58</a>
<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="21">0:21</a> That spirit likely reminded Kratos of his past. It seems that motivated him more than the reward itself.
Though bits of it come from self-hatred and guilt, theres incredible humility and modesty in Kratos, a God, telling others they should not worship Gods.
I mean, I can see a tornado coming but can’t do anything about it. Just because Heimdall can see Kratos’ next move doesn’t mean he’s fast enough to dodge every haymaker and spear thrust.
@@SocratesPlays Its a Line from Berry, were two characters with a dark past also believe they can change. They believe that because they have to, there is no hope in the alternative. They die
Lives of men are nothing to gods... In various mythos, yes. But the Abrahamic? 50/50. There are times that the Quranic/Biblical God is an uncaring providence, but also times He showed care, in both mild (The whole Jesus shtick) and extreme case like the Old Testament). Speaking as a Deist/Agnostic Theist. But perhaps I'm wrong on this one, maybe it's because we couldn't comprehend whatever the purpose of God/gods (that was until Ragnarok/Valhalla came about).
My favorite goddess in regards to what was written, was Guan Yin. She was so benevolent that it is stated that when she went to hell all her accumulated good karma released the tormented souls from hell into heaven and earth. The king of hell had to get her to leave otherwise she would wreck his realm.
Is the God of war series anti-pagan worship ? Greek culture had their pantheon of deities, Norse deity worshippers had their pantheon, maybe they will go after the Hindu dharma next ?
Considering the myriad of gods and goddesses, minor deities, and monsters poised to defend the Dharma, Kratos would probably deem this particular Pantheon too daunting to challenge unless he had some serious help.
No, gods are often uncaring at best and evil at worst. There are some in each pantheon that are good and even benevolent but since they usually are based on natural phenomena it's rare to see
The only time when the slaughtering of a character is praised and applauded. These games grinded solely on the success of their precursors and the very creator hates this emasculation, but no, people must love it because of the "progressive" change of character. It appears wokism works just great as long as the audience doesn't deem the emasculation too rushed. Pitiful, but go on, snowflakes, there are still more franchises with strong, vengeful characters to tear down.
Did you actually play the previous God of War games? The whole point of them was that it was a tragedy, you were not supposed to look up to or praise Kratos' actions- only to lament that fate bound him to create his own suffering. Him learning to want the world to be better than he was for his son is a natural progression to that.
If you had a choice would you want to be vengeful or peaceful? Your criticism isn't to the game. You're angry because the idea of someone calming down. You need reflection.
