God of War Ragnarök is an action-adventure video game developed by Santa Monica Studio and the sequel to 2018's God of War. Based on Norse mythology, the game will be set in ancient Scandinavia and feature series protagonist Kratos and his teenage son Atreus. - Hry
Imagine being Freya, perched as a bird, having to wait like 5 minutes if not more, for the god of war to run around like a gremlin, shoving his fist through barrels looking for money 😂
She had to at some point during fimbulwinter used a chest as bait to lure Kratos
@@xaiverbres7335 that would be genius 😂
@@justineking8230 he just bashes them open without thinking, any sort of explosive, tripwire/motion sensing spell would immediately blow up in his face
@@xaiverbres7335 tis a scratch
Tyr had been addressing it until he didn’t bother. So Freya must had known this since first game.
I love how Kratos is listening to Freya talk about how awful it is to see her village in ruins...while running around robbing every chest he can find.
Apparently he's got a bit of Irishman in him.
well thats thimblil winter for ya
@brax bogun you mean Fimbulwintr?
Hey theres no people, they dont need the stuff😂

- Kratos, 2022
The way how Freya reacted after the "Her name was Calliope." is so overlooked. Reminder that for the entire game up to this point, and a little while after if I'm guessing correctly, Freya wants nothing more than to kill Kratos and avenge her son. But upon the realization that Kratos had lost a little girl before, the hatred and contempt in her voice goes away in an instant, as though she suddenly understood Kratos a little better, as though having a "that explains a lot" moment. At the very end of her conversation, she even says "I shouldn't have asked." in a rather apologetic tone. For a moment, in her mind, she wasn't talking to her sons killer, she was talking to another parent who lost a child, who even after many, many years, still felt that pain as fresh as when he first realized she died by his own ambition.
As much as Freya tries to hide it now, she's a very caring and empathetic soul.
Time?
@@hopper8514 1:20:37
I think Kratos actually understands that, and it’s why he keeps trying to make things right between them. Even when she was trying her hardest to kill him, in the depths of her rage, she was NEVER willing to hurt Atreus. This meant even at her worst, there were some lines she wouldn’t cross. She wouldn’t hurt an innocent just to get to him. Kratos knows from sad experience HE would not be so moral. Because my god the collateral damage HE has been responsible for…
Except she shows Odins traits throughout the whole game,she’s a control freak who is controlled by her emotions and shows nothing but contempt for those who don’t treat her with the utmost respect (that she doesn’t deserve by the way),she’s just an alternate form of Odin,she may be nicer but she was still his wife
@@froginabucket7294 dude that is NOT fair. She made a mistake with Baldur and she learned from it. And refusing to be like Odin, who would sacrifice anything and anyone for more power, was exactly why he turned on her. The marriage was political and it didn’t end well. Ever met a divorced person?
The way Freya spreads her arms while her tattoos glow after freeing herself from Odin's hold is VERY reminiscent of Baldur being freed from HER magic in GoW4. I love it.
GoW4*
I didn't consider that. She may actually have realized that moment how much it plagued her and how much it must have plagued her son. Maybe that's also one of the reasons for her decision.
@@Star_Taro what did he say originally?
@@craigyeates1854 probably "the first gow" cuz they mightve forgotten about the previous three games or smth
And don’t forget it’s also reminiscent of kratos and how he shed his bandages up on top of the giants fingers when spreading the ashes, I think it’s a symbol of some kind most likely representing both freedom and relief
"I think you care for your dad so much you can't conceive a world where you'd let him get hurt" this video game is full of one liners that hit you where the feels are.
Both truly care for each other and don't want to see neither get hurt, but have to accept each other will have to get hurt at one moment because that's just how life is like
This feels like something Sean would say.
My favourite is, “whatever”.
Sucks he doesn't die in the end
When the main characters are of spartan heritage its bound to have that in it lol
it’s cool to watch how atreus’s rage meter fills almost immediately when he first got it but over time it fills slower because he’s learning how to control it
The details
It's a nice blend of game mechanics and story
Yeah... sounds like my english teacher
I love the comments for this play through. I totally missed that.
I probably wouldn't have even noticed that, being 7 hours after video posts lets you see comments that would otherwise get buried. Here, take my respect.
It's so meta that Angrbodas grandma says that nobody remembers her when she IS not mentioned almost at all at myths even she was a mate of loki and mother of Fenrir, Jörmungandr and Hel.
Wait WUT???? O.o
@Hawklegs in the actual mythos jormangandur is born through loki. He gives birth to him and im if not mistaken loki got cursed after he killed baldur that all his children would be monsters or something to that effect. He was then chained up with venom dripping on him till ragnorak.
@@justdontargue294 I've never heard the monster curse. Jorm, Fenrir, & Hel were maybe the earliest of Loki's kids to be born, & it was through their giant heritage & Odin's meddling that they became monsters. Loki's children w/ Angrboda were prophecized to bring about Ragnarok so Odin dealt w/ them by casting Hel into the realm of the dead (giving her access to its army), chucking Jorm into the sea (allowing him to grow big enough to wrap around the world) & chaining Fenrir once he got too big. This gave Loki's children the motivations & the abilities to bring about the Aesir's end, & makes Raganrok a self-fulfilling prophecy.
Loki's punishment after killing Baldur was to be bound to rock w/ the entrails of his sons Narvi & Vali (his children w/ the goddess Sigyn), & a snake placed over him dripping venom into his eyes until he breaks free at Ragnarok to lead Hel's army of the dead against Odin's einherjar.
I thought the same when I heard that line. Everything we know about Angrboda is her association w/ Loki, & it's not even the only super meta line in the game.
@@justdontargue294 in the actual mythos there are varying accounts for how Jörmungandr came to be, but the most common and most believed is it was Loki and Angrbroda created them. I believe the one you’re thinking of is a poem that describes Loki eating the heart of an evil giantess which then impregnates him. You are mistaken about the curse for killing Baldur as Loki’s children already existed, to punish Loki the Aesir turns his son Váli into a wolf who then killed his brother (also Loki’s son) Narfi and they bound Loki to rocks with his entrails and turned them into iron chains. Sigyn (Loki’s wife and mother of the 2 boys) stays with Loki holding a bowl over his head to catch as much of the poison as she can until he breaks free at Ragnarök.
I keep coming back to that moment of Atreus turning into a bear and Kratos stopping him. It's so crazy how literally just a few moments before Atreus was learning to control his anger and rage and was doing really well. But the moment he realised his father was in danger, he immediately turned into a bear, unable to control his feelings. His rage in order to ensure his father's safety is so strong. And then Kratos' "are you harmed"? Urgh. He even holds Bear Atreus' muzzle so gently.
I bet Atreus, after JUST hearing the prophecy about how his father will die, friggin panicked like "Is this it?? Is this when he's going to die?? I have to stop this!" Like he legit thought Kratos was about to die.
@@hawklegs6940 THAT'S 100% IT!!😭🙏🏻 He literally cannot even imagine the possibility and goes into panic mode T__T
Time?
@@hopper8514 around 44:00. Thats the moment Atreus comes to save Kratos:)
Honestly the biggest jumpscare I had so far watching this was when kratos stepped out of the damn door when Atraeus was trying to go in. I Actually let out a little squeak
Yeah that scared the absolute shit out of me when I got to that part in the game.
Mine was when the game and console just stopped. I was so worried that Jack would lose all his progress.
truly an "oh fuck, we're grounded" type reaction
The moment when kratos exited the doorway is the exact moment of the “Huh, that was easy” meme activates the elden ring boss music.
Edit: I probably mean Skyrim boss music
Atreus: *tries to enter the door*
Kratos: tf you think you're going???
Gryla's speech to Angrboda is ironic in more ways than one. In Norse mythology Angrboda is known as the "Mother of Monsters" and is Loki's wife and the mother of Fenrir and Jormungander but is only mentioned ONCE in the entire Poetic Edda, so the line about her being "nothing but a footnote in HIS story." is accurate to the mythology.
Don't forget Hel
Thank you for you're knowledge! Every time I learn one of these details about the lore behind it all, it just adds that much more depth and enjoyment.
damnnnn awesome
tbf, very little of the Norse mythology survives. How many stories there were about her, how many times she was mentioned could be way more than we know of now. In the manuscripts, there's references to Gods and events we have no idea of anymore, but obviously must've seemed like common knowledge to those writing them at the time
Damn that sucks
At this point this is now a new catch phrase
"Well that's Fimbulwinter for ya"
The most Irish sound, Jack has ever pulled off
"Do Not"
@@emu1565 but he is Irish! everything he sounds Irish

One of the reasons they should cast Michael Rooker to play Brok in the GoW show 🤣🤣😂 I mean, he'll just be another blue wise-cracker... who dies in his 2nd appearance 😅🤣 but it's still perfect casting
I love how Jack is claiming kratos doesn't have leadership qualities yet the guy led wars was a general and is confident enough in his own abilities to take on the gods and had the determination to see it through

@@TechBirb 1:20:27
First time playing this game and heard that, my automatic response was "Oh you have no idea the landmine you just stepped on."
"did i ever tell you why my skin is so grey?"
"Do you think after Kratos is done with the Norse gods, he's gonna go fight Jesus?" is definitely one of my favorite moments
I think the next god of war is egyption
wasn’t GOW3 originally gonna start with zeus dying, and then the norse and egyptian pantheon would come over and try to claim the power vacuum of the now dead greek pantheon? And then the norse and egyptian versions of Kratos would show up and they’d team up to defeat the other pantheons, creating monotheism and the Kratoses would become the 3 wise men in the bible?
@@lizando1326 that would’ve been fucking amazing ngl
Honestly at end of a game Kratos and Astreus give me me father and son vibes and Tyr is definitely a Norse Jesus
As a former Christian from Alabama that now has their own personal beliefs, I would pay good money to see a game where Kratos just punches Jesus and says "GET YOUR FOLLOWERS' SHIT TOGETHER, HAVE YOU SEEN WHAT THEY'RE DOING!?"
Kratos has changed so much and I love that. Even in the fights, hes still so much calmer. He lets his guard down when he realizes the woman hes fighting is Freya, and even stops Atreus from fighting her. His relationship with his son shows just how much more he cares now. Begging his son to tell him the truth because hes so worried about him. So glad Sean’s playing this game, its a masterpiece.
True
He fights for life not for vengeance anymore, he puts less power in every hit not just because he is older but because he let go of that rage, that is why when he hit Thor with full rage it showed his true power. Just wait and see what I mean I don't want to spoil it for you. Cheers
@@Svol09 His true rage showed when Thor mentioned of harming Atreus, this shows how much Kratos has grown since and shows how much he cares for his family, and he'd do and kill anything to protect them.
@Mr Meseeks I'm so damn excited, gonna go play now lol
@@richardthebrick542 I wanna play it again so bad and do a platinum run but I have so much work after i took a week off just to enjoy it's first play hahaha

No one can surprise the all-father
Racing Angrboda while in wolf form for the first time gave me CHILLS. Such a great set piece in the game.
It’s the only good part of Ironwood if we’re being honest
@@moneygrabber6720as much as i hate to say it, that’s pretty true. i love the atreus combat but god did that part DRAG
@@moneygrabber6720i also thought it was a drag but i personaly love angrboda as a companion. Her moves are really cool to use and look at. Just seeing the battlefield be covered in splashes of color is so cool .

Didnt he do that already?
@@radutheodor758 no I wish tho I think he played the old games but never made playthroughs on them

@@leoneyamada5408 Nah, straight up bangers
@@electric0618 facts
welp, thats fimble winter for ya
I love that when confronting Atreus you can hear the pain in his voice, instead of an authoritative demand, it feels like he’s begging for his son to open up
I think if there’s one person who actually could’ve been trusted with the secret of Ironwood, it was Kratos. No Asir is going to drag it out of him.
… actually, the danger would’ve been Kratos confiding in someone where Tyr could hear it.
But I think if Atreus made it plain he was telling his father a secret that needed to stay just between them, no secret would’ve been safer.
Of course both of their emotions are too high in that moment. We aren’t told what Kratos was up to for the two days after Atreus vanished from his room, but my guess is he was tearing stuff apart looking for his son. He doesn’t know if he’s been kidnapped or what.
He sounds almost pleading
1:59:20 This entire scene is crazy good. Like, the desperate tearing at the roots and the way she says "Get out... get out of me!" And then falls to the ground Is so well acted and emotional. Easily one of my favorite scenes. Danielle killed this role
I’ve seen some people criticizing Freya in this game saying that she’s “weak” because she’s not a 24/7 murder machine, and using scenes like that as an example. It’s ridiculous. Her arc in this game shows exactly how strong she is and how she was able to break free of her trauma is incredible. (I know trauma never fully leaves you, but she won that internal battle). I guess people criticizing her have never dealt with that sort of thing themselves, and they don’t realize how much strength this kind of thing takes. Especially her learning to accept help when she needs it, that’s not a weakness, it’s an extremely difficult and important thing and it shows how much her past betrayals have affected her. Learning to trust herself and others and realizing that she doesn’t have to forget or ignore her past entirely, as shown when she says that the Valkyries and other parts of her life aren’t Odin’s, they’re hers, and she doesn’t have to lose them just because she’s free of him. I love her acting and writing in this game, it’s fantastic. And as someone who deals with past trauma every day, her storyline in this game has really affected me (in a good way). Her revelations have helped me find my strength as well, and I’m so happy to see her story play out.
Tldr: Freya isn’t weak, she’s incredibly strong breaking free of her trauma and her story is amazing.
@@statementofjoespooky1660literally no one calls her weak
@@Nate_mc Just because you haven’t personally seen it doesn’t mean nobody has said it.
@@RebaMcImTired nobody calls her weak
The reason kratos keeps needing to talk about himself whenever freya gets upset is because she’s always like “you’d NEVER UNDERSTAND MY PAIN” so he has to give a lil anecdote to explain that not only does he understand. He’s experienced it tenfold!
How much of his story is known outside of Greece is not made clear so clearly, she does not know the full extent of what he has been through. She knows that he has killed many people gods and mortals alike but that seems to be general knowledge among the pantheons. Even Thor described Kratos as the man who killed a pantheon because he got his feelings hurt even though it runs deeper than that.
yeah, sean just called it toxic masculinity though, don't know if he wa being sarcastic or not
@@justarandompepe8961 I literally just got to that part when he said that and I'm like hold up.
Icl I thought he was just trying to one up her to be annoying and I was just kinda laughing at it bec of that thanks for explaining though
What Kratos did here was something many neurodivergent people do. Instead of simply replaying with I know your pain or I think I understand, they reply with a story of their own to show they understand.
it's not about making it about themselves, its more of a "I went through something similar or even the same so I can understand your pain" mechanism
angrboda’s dialogue after the encounter with gryla is so fucking heartbreaking. for a young girl who’s already been through so much to hear her once-loving grandmother say all of that to her and still understand what her grandmother is going through is phenomenal. her voice actress acting out the strained pain as she struggles not to break down is amazing.
The voice actress is so amazing. It suits her character very much.
Sorta gives you dementia feels. Parents forgetting their sons and daughters, and being frustrated and confused...
@@khaelkugler Man you really had to fuck me up like that, huh?
Just like real life for most gay kids:)
I was impressed with how the computer animators were able to realistically show her face as quietly broken but "holding it together". Facial emotions are so difficult to portray in computer animation, but as she's walking away, while her grandmother hurls heartbreaking insults at her, her face shows a hurt, quiet dignity.
I think its obvious with how she acted after Kratos saved her again, Freya is split, she wants to forgive but wants retribution. When they are alone together its clear she is kinda prodding for reasons for either side, she was willing to hear him out.
Its good how they made it that Freya can forgive, but never forget.
Which, ya know what, fair enough. I think one reason why Kratos tolerated all of her attempted murders is because he could see, even in the depth of her rage, that there were lines she wouldn’t cross. She refused to hurt Atreus, for example, not even to get to his father. She wasn’t going to allow an innocent to suffer for her revenge. She wants one head and one head only.
Kratos, uh, well, when he was in her position, avenging the death of a child, his attitude towards collateral damage was …. Uh… not that. 😅 he didn’t hesitate to go through the children of his targets if they stood in his way. Nobody’s grief mattered except his.
1:57:58 I love how when Kratos says "Let us finish this" his voice is almost like in the old games
Kratos was a spartan commander so his "LET US FINISH THIS" was a line he said while changing as a spartan also SOUNDED AWESOME
I love the callback of Kratos saying “no need to explain. Not to me. Not for that” just like Freya did when he left to get the blades in the first game.

Can we give props to Angrboda for not wanting to murder her own grandmother? Like, the entire scene reminded me of Hera's death. Her emotional management is god levels better than Kratos even in his current state. I high-key wished Gryla received the same Hera treatment right then, but the franchise really goes to show the growth of the games.
I wanted Atreus to shoot her so bad. Imagine being not only the last of your family but the last of your species except for someone who speaks to you like THAT. I just felt so sad for Angrboda & wanted nothing more than for her to come back & live at Sindri's.

I don't think her look had anything to do with that, she got so angry right after, something tugged on her heart strings, I think the idea was that Freya saw some of her own son in atreus and she saw that atreus has the potential to go down the same path, but Kratos is a good enough parent to guide and nurture atreus so he doesn't go that route, seeing Kratos do what she never did probably made her feel guilty, like it was her own fault her son became how he was, and that feeling was so painful she got angry and ignored her thoughts and went right back to blindly blaming someone else.
I love it how we all read the scene differently :') For me it looked like at first she felt bad and guilty about what she was going to do when she saw Kratos stopping Atreus, especially him saying how she was their friend. Because it seemed at that moment she realized that what she was doing wasn't okay, she was hurting the people she cared about before. She felt bad looking at the scene of a father caring for his son and vice versa. Then as the scene continued seeing them have what she can't have anymore, and again remembering that it is their fault that she can't have it, turned her to feeling angry again.
jack casually saying EXACTLY how odin gets defeated
When??
@@ashishsapra5966 i don’t remember the exact time frame but it’s around when atreus and angrboda are sneaking around grylas house
Spoiler if you haven't finished it yet or want to spoil it yourself but 15:06 is Sean's predictions on Odin's end
i was looking for this comment, maybe he got the sheeragan somehow
Kratos saying that he “burned Olympus to the ground” gives chills everytime I rewatch this series
Fun fact since Jack slightly brought it up. Kratos was originally going to destroy the Greek pantheon and other pantheons would try to conquer Greece resulting in Kratos finding out that there's other versions of himself in the other pantheons, presumably Tyr and the god of war from Egypt. They would team up, destroy all pantheons, and they then become the three wise men who show up at the birth of Jesus. Obviously, that wasn't the ending we got but it's still cool knowing that one of the canceled storylines involved Kratos meeting Jesus.
We need the Jesus boss fight
Wouldn't mind a pantheon world war and its Kratos's new quest to stop it in a new game. The possible pantheon conquering Greece are the Persian Gods and Egyptian Gods but its also a cool thought of them competing violently over Greece and Kratos would come back to save it.
It also would’ve been the funniest fucking ending ever. Imagine telling the story of god of war to someone and then at the end you have to say “and then he met Jesus”
Horus, is the god of war in egypt, if I remember correctly
It can't be a fun fact. The "three wise men" are also know as "The Magi". They were not from Egypt, Greece, or Nordic, they were Canaanites from east of Jerusalem what we know now as Iraq and Iran. They were wizards. "Magi" (the word used in the Latin writing of the days of Jesus) is one who practices magic or a Magician. The Magi were not considered "Gods" or Demi-gods but rather were mortal men and priests of the Babylonian gods. The Babylonian Magi had learned of the signs (like the star rising in the west) in the prophecies of the appearance of the Jewish Messiah through the teachings of the Jews during their 70 year captivity in Babylon under King Nebuchadnezzar, and had passed the Jewish prophecies down for 500 years. The Greek God of War was Ares, Roman was Mars, Norse was Tyr. You are correct that these were all one-in-the-same. Kratos on the other hand was a created spirit in mortal human form or the personification of "Strength". He was created by Pallas and Styx and there was only one of him - there is no Roman or Nordic equivalent.
“We follow your every whim”
“But you don’t believe in any of it”
“And still I follow!”
I love that dialogue so much
Jörmungandr: Aight imma fuck up THOR now 🗿 13:30
I absolutely lost my shit when Sean said “trust his scrote it’s never been wrong”
Man, they really earned that moment of Freya making up or coming to an understanding with Kratos. That middle ground of "I can not forgive you, but I also can't kill you." feels like the right direction to take that.
The reluctant alliance is one of the best plot devices IMO, because everyone agrees to be allies simply for the greater good, rather than forgetting their grievances - you're putting yourself second, and it's a hard thing to do when you're grieving
Yeah. Very believable character writing there. Before the game came out I was expecting Freya to actually succeed in killing Kratos, but of course Kratos would like... Fight his way out of the afterlife or something, and Freya would reconcile with him once he came back, after realizing his death didn't end her grief. Maybe then she's refuse any forgiveness and go into exile or something.
But yeah this works too.
To me it felt like she said that she couldn’t forgive him, but instantly forgave him, now they’re in a romantic boat ride killing beast together while doing side quest, idk maybe make her just slightly more distant till the end of the game
@@leik7728 Bro 😳
She was a lot friendlier in the first game. Now she is able to respect Kratos but still holds some animosity towards him. She's much sassier.
Also, not every boat ride with a man and a woman is inherently romantic. Project, much?
@@beautifulmanstan8840 bro I was joking when I said that lol, the boat rides are honestly awkward as hell
2:03:12 Kratos finally got that handshake he was looking for in Alfheim
I’ve looked for that “handshake” moment. I could not find it for the life of me. When was it? What section?
@@runerdude141 The hand glitch during Jack's playthrough, the way Kratos was frozen made it look like he was waiting for a high five or a dramatic handshake.
@@ShadicRothZz1998 ooooh. I see. I thought it was an actual event thing that happened in the game.
SMELL MY HAND FREYA
I really like that Brok is still able to dispense some potent wisdom about family relationships even though he's missing a quarter of his soul. He can still feel! That makes me feel a lil warm and fuzzy
Same, but the only part of his soul thats missing is his direction, so he still has his other ones that would actually make Brok, Brok
39:31 Kratos wants to be mad but he’s actually PLEADING for his son to open up, not knowing that Atreus promised he wouldn’t speak a word. You can hear Kratos plead in the “and still I follow”
Danielle Bisutti deserves a freaking Emmy nomination as well as a Game Award nomination as Freya, she is a force of nature in this game.
Force of nature… was that a pun?
@@tyty-xm8fw THat's Fimbulwinter for ya.
True true
She was always amazing even in the previous game, but man, she went further above and beyond in this.
freya: you do not know the pain of losing a child
kratos: oh do i have a story for you
And he literally told it to her 😂😂😂
"Imagine being tricked into murdering your own daughter then having her remains permanently smeared across your skin as an insult and reminder of your failure." -Kratos internally after hearing that statement.
1:20:07 , 1:24:09
"Let me tell you story of how I got permenant whiteface..."
I cant believe in 15:52 Jack just completely predicted (haha no pun intended) how odin gets defeated... WAOW
Ah yes i rewatch these many many times it is soothing to me
Same I've watched this playthrough like 3 times lol
Same. I decided to binge watch his gow playthroughs when the Valhalla DLC was announced
Damn same
Same as well
I love that Freya doesn't just straight up forgive him. She explains that she will always be angry for what he did to her son and although he's done much good for her, she can never find a place in her heart to say he was in the right. Some stories would have had her forgive him or concede that what he did was right. I'm glad that they didn't go with that choice.
i totally agree, and yet they still managed to have this sincere reconciliation between the two. they gave their arc such a complex resolution and it was handled soooo freakin' well
I honestly think she understands why Kratos killed deep down and that she would have down the same but still hates him because he killed her only child ever and that child was from a loveless marriage
I honestly believe freya views him as a necessary evil
Won’t stop people from shipping those two
And to think some people are actually saying she’s a Karen and bad writing that she can’t get over her son in 3 years
I just wanted to say that
Kratos' voice have gotten softer when he ask Atreus if he's alright after turning into a bear. It made my heart squeeze
He is such a father figure and he loves him even whatever he does to annoy him and also it’s so surprising how the fucking god of war still has sympathy towards him
@@scther4938 They're both annoying each other by how much they both want to protect each other lmaooo.
I had to rewatch it but omg yeah that's adorable
@@procastination_is_my_passi4182 that’s tough love for ya
Tiny detail that not many people seem to catch, atreuses armor has two metal plates over his heart on his front and back, normally people would assume its just aesthetic or maybe there wasn't enough metal for a full cover but it actually makes sense for him since he wants to be nimble and quick not burdened by heavy armor
Seàn:"Just keep walking..." Sounded so strained like he was about to cry or something. If so I don't blame him this scene made me cry too.
1:46:48 “I will be no one’s monster. Never again,” is such a nice callback to GoW 2018, when Kratos told Athena that “I am your monster no more.” Especially when he had just retrieved the Blades and had to use them to kill the bridge guard in Helheim to save his son. “I kill to protect my son. To save my friends.” I’m just loving all the callbacks to the previous games.
i believe its 1:46:35
"I FIGHT FOR MY FRIENDS!"
-Dotodoya
It is a nice callback especially considering that he acknowledged that he will still be a monster in a sense. I have heard people saying that he showed either respect or regret to the bridge keeper for having to kill him and take his heart. Looking back, I think I can see why he felt this way. The bridge keeper was not an enemy following him or actively seeking his death, nor was it even an obstacle in his path to the goal of the game. It would have never harmed him if he hadn't appeared in the place that the gate keeper was charged with overlooking. He regretted it because the gate keeper was someone, he had to kill in order to fix a mistake he made, it was a sacrifice to Kratos as Mimir put it, valuing his privacy over his son.
Even if Jack leaves us on a cliffhanger, I'm still happy because I know there will be more tomorrow
Yeah. I'm very happy he made this series. Didn't have anything good to watch lately

Ya but u have to wait a day
Yes but no, I’m not tryna get blue balled on Gow content
That finbulwinter for ya
Man, when Mimir said "Odin's finally done it" I thought he meant the Allfather was creating artificial Valyries or something like that. I go so hyped and then it was just dashed when it was Freya lol. Also, I'm happy they explained how she's broken those curses because I know the first game made a big deal about her being unable to fight.
But when he said that, I think he meant Odin finally found a way to keep corporeal Valkrys under control
The comedic timing of the elgato deck screen was perfection
"Shes not a monster, shes just lost"
That crippled me. My own grandmother pased this year and she was wrapped in her fury to the last. But the kid me still remembers the kind person she was
My grandmother is dealing with Parkinson's and it is changing her memories and herself. It is tough and exhausting to see her like this but the memories I have with her before this time is what I remember most about her.
My grandma passed away a few weeks ago. Because of old age.
But she had been suffering from dementia for many years. And it was hard watching her not even be able to remember who her children where and even sometimes lashing out at them.
But pleasant memories got all of us through it
My grandmother was the reverse she was a terrible mom but amazing grandmother which only made it worse knowing she kicked several addictions and learned to censor herself just to die at the age of 60. I got to see the best half of my grandmother's life and it lasted like 20 years not even half her life. She completely changed for the better (mostly) just to die way to early to medical complications from years of drug abuse.
My condolences, always remember the good times and the lessons learned from her. ❤️
@@GeekyGaia
Very sorry to hear that you and your family are going through this. ❤️
Stay strong and keep showing her love.... And remember, It's not her lashing out It's the disease. She still loves you very very much and would show it if she could.
Embrace the good days and let the bad days go.
Take care 💞
Jormungandrs theme playing while Loki and Amgrboda “create” a giant/snake hybrid is so so cool and so full of symbolism if you know the connection between loki, angrboda, and jormungandr in the legends.
Do you believe that could’ve been the birth of jormungandr in that scene?

@@angryreaper9336 haha i look forward to seeing it!
@@ThatCheesyLad I don't remember if this was in the previous GoW or some weird theory, but I remember something about Jormungandr fighting Thor and being hit so hard it was sent to the past. That's why it was there and already knew Atreus.
15:28 bro guessed the ending of the game correctly BEFORE EVEN FINISHING IT 🤯🤯🤯🤯
It's so awesome to see so many throwbacks to the previous God of War. Like for instance one of my favourites was when Kratos said to Freya "No need to explain. Not to me. Not for that." That is exactly what Freya said to Kratos in the previous game when she agreed to save Atreus. Such a great moment.
“Do you think when Kratos is done with the norse gods he’s gonna go and fight Jesus?”

@@theonewhoismany8072 no it is not iver yet for kratos no one have confirmed it
Well if he does go to another universe where jesus exists I don't think he will kill jesus or god
Love how when Atreus gave the soul to the snake and it "woke up" it played the Jörmungandr theme. Definitely feels like some time shenanigans going on here
God I hope not that would be so boring
@@-MiniBritton- it kinda makes sense since jörmungandr in the triptych travels through time during his fight with Thor
@@-MiniBritton- how would that be boring? he would be basically creating a new life form by imparting a soul into a new body and it would perfectly line up lmao
and in the prophecy, we saw a snake being released from a bag, this could be the giants soul being released into a snake
It likely is. White scales with green pattern, yellow eyes. It's Jormungandr. Loki technically birthed it in that moment, and we know Jormangandr uses time travel against Thor during their fight, and we also know Jotunheim's time works differently to every other realm.
I would bet money that snake is Jormungandr.

Kratos really is a grumpier and more serious version of shrek, change my mind
@@LeumazDnazor Specifically of Shrek 1 Shrek before he met Donkey.
Jack: there's going to be like 15 episodes.
Me: starts crying tears of joy
As someone who had watched the full game, I can confidently say, that might be the least number of episodes Jack can make out of this game, because if he is willing to play this game to its fullest, which knowing Jack he would absolutely do it, it would take more than 15 episodes of 2 hour average videos to finish it.
The creator said that they doubled the gameplay and cinematic compared to the first norse installment

@@Ifishbirds that probably explains why it’s a duology and not a trilogy

Nobody is even mentioning when Kratos said, "Artreus, are you harmed?" Like that was so cute and sweet! I love seeing fawning, loving Dad Kratos. He was worried about his boy and just openly showing his love and care is so adorable.
I am loving this boss Nidhogg. I mean it scared the crap out of me but it was awesome! I love the fact It can use lasers from her tail and she can use portal magic to kind of get you in different dimension points that's crazy! She's got to be the one of the more amazing astounding mini bosses to watch in this whole game like wow
Pretty sure she’s considered a full on boss, not a mini-boss
It’s a badass and sad boss fight considering the journal entry about Nidhogg just trying to fulfill it’s purpose of defending the roots of Yggdrasil

i'm really surprised jack didnt even realized/reacted to it. or maybe he knew but didnt give a reaction.
I teared up during this scene as well. Its also amazing to see how much Kratos has changed, and how 'human' he can actually be.
Yes
That race as loki with wolf form was the most memorable moment for me. Something felt so incredibly good playing that, loki being able to control it so well while having fun with the music, so good.
Please play LOZ TP
You will not have a better expirience being a wolf in many other games - including this one
@@incognitoman3656 eh other games that have wolf's look quite better
The vibe of that whole race segment was just so wholesome and innocent. Atreus has spent the entire game up till that point worried and seeing horrible things and being shown that at the end of the day he is still a kid who wants to have fun is such a sweet moment. In that moment he didn't have any rage, he was just happy

@@philippeblais8594 Mel Brooks baby.Great movies, you should watch them. Also, sorry about that.
1:42:45 now I have that mental image of Freya saying that everytime Kratos finds something cool in these chests.
i love how when sean says "Its not my fault!" freya immediatly goes: "well, considering how spartans are made, its no wonder you turned out how you did." perfect timing
They did such a good job with freya specifically. Her emotion and voice lines are so deep and emotional. Every time she’s on screen I just see the untempered force of a goddess with nothing to lose, but even with that her goodness and compassion keep shining through. Just a little. Beats beautiful.
Agreed.
In the opening after they shake her off…”KRRRAAAAAATOOOOOOOSSSSS!!!!!!”
I know she just wants to kill him but at some points it feels a bit annoying "You don't know anything about me." "How can you know how it feels to...." "Only I understand the pain I've been through." And i know she doesn't know his full backstory but i fully expected Kratos at one point to yell "SHUT UP WOMAN AND LISTEN FOR ONCE."
I don't think that would have helped any more than it would have helped Kratos when he was raging against Olympus. He is trying to persuade her abandon her vendetta, but he knows from first-hand experience how difficult it can be to dissuade a person from this course when they have started on it. Vengeance is something that can sound like an easy to way to fix all of one's problems, an easy way to make all the pain go away just by killing the one perceived responsible. Yet the words of vengeance are poison laced with honey, they slowly wear away at a person like a festering wound so that they do not notice or care about their better traits being consumed by it. Eventually vengeance usually consumes the people who seek it one way or another and the cycle goes on and on from person to person. Kratos should consider himself lucky that he is both still alive and that he has a chance to start anew after completing his revenge, most who seek revenge are not that fortunate.
I am tickled at Jack's 'take him out in the woods to train him' suggestion, as if that hasn't been what the first whole act of the game has been about. XD
i love watching this while imagining that jack is the voice in krotos's mind
