How much did you know about the original Kratos? Should I cover the origins of the God of War games? Let me know in a comment! And thanks for watching :)

Yes cover it.
Yes
Yes please
Yes please ❤
please cover the games god of war is my childhood and most favourite game and I'd love to hear more about the myths I missed while deep diving myself 😂😅
Someone should link this video to Jim Carrey and see what he thinks.
Y Jim Carrey?
@@N0one000he’s gonna play Kratos in the live action Prime show
@@lakerballer0058 no fuckin way I had no idea he was playing him I already knew about the show i just didn’t know who’s gonna play kratos but I love Jim Carrey so that’s awesome
This for sure has to get to Jim Carrey
I mean he's retired so he has to time to watch the video
"Yes, I am equating Jim Carry to a Greek God, and no, I don’t think that's overreaching."
Of course not. He's an avatar of Thalia, the muse of comedy(though, I will admit, I don't know if it's the comedy I'm referring to).
Actually, there’s something else to add to his origin if you guys remember the myth about Athena‘s birth, it said that if Zeus had a son, he would also destroy Olympus
Wait, I thought only if Zeus and Metis had son? Isn't it why he turned her into water and drank her?
@@millerjames908 there are some myths where Zeus slept with Persofone by disguising himself as Hades, and she gave birth to a son, his name is zagreus.
@@millerjames908It was Metis but like the comment said Persephone birthed Zagreus who according to his myth was supposed to inherit the throne before he got ripped apart. Also there was Thetis, the mother of Achilles who was prophesised to give birth to a son who would be greater than his father. There are a lot of deities who are prophesised to give birth to children greater than their parents huh 😅
“Boy…”
Yes father?
“…”
This was interesting. Please do Messed up origins for the God of War games.
I always thought that Kratos was an “original” character being made specifically for fictional purposes. Never knew there was an actual inspiration for the character.
Kratos in the game was an original character when the studio first made it and is not inspired by the myth in any way.
It was just only later on did they discover that there was Kratos, the god. A happy coincidence, as this video puts it.
I wish we could have seen him fight gods in the Elder Scrolls universe, even tho that’s a whole different pantheon and universe
@@dgrmn12345 indeed
What I always thought was interesting about the games is that the earlier games Kratos was on a path to change the fate of things to come. Then he has a child who is Atreus, and he came to terms with the idea that fate is not set in stone; only for his son to repeat what Kratos originally set out to prevent in the God of war games 1 through 3. But talking about the connections between Kratos and the mythology that inspired the games; Kratos actually did end up meeting other characters from Greek and Roman mythology like Hercules, and Icarus.
I've seen your video on the Kitsune. I think it would be interesting to also do one on the Kumiho, and talk about the differences and stories. May want to also mention SCP-953 which is a Kumiho.
Agreed
"Jon-gasm" came a long way over the years 😂 congrats
This was awesome. Greek mythical philosophical era was GOATED.
In modern day Greek kratos also translates into "nation"
Please please do the games!
Also holy crab I did not know you knew Jim carry and for a second I thought that was an late April fools joke but you played it so straight that it was shock to me. Really cool man.
Kratos is one of my favorite video game characters and I love the journey he has gone on in both the Greek and Norse world. And personally I both agree and disagree with what David jaffe said about the character. I mean at least he hasn’t been “butchered” as badly as some other video game characters.
He’s still kratos be happy with that and the fact that he’s not dead.
I was waiting for this. I really wanted to know the story about kratos. I've been trying to find the information myself but didn't understand a lot of it. Thank you for breaking down the mythology.
As powerful as Kratos is, I think his sister is even more powerful since Nike is the goddess of victory.
There's a reason Victory is represented by a goddess and not a god. Most eloquently summarized by this quote.
"Girls don't compete they just show up at the finish line and bang the winner."

I remember watching my then boyfriend playing these games when we were teens. We've loved the franchise for over 12 years! Thanks for the awesome video!
Thanks for the amazing videos Mr. Solo amazing work
Loved the artwork! Thanks for shouting out the artist!
Great video as always, man.
Thank you for the amazing upload 😊
Love your video, Jon Solo, and keep up the great work you are awesome
Never thought that Jim Carrey would be in a episode with cratoz
This is a great start to another series. Please do all the games origins!
I’ve been waiting for this for a long time.
Awesome video! I'm a huge GOW fan and seeing your channel, Kratos was an inevitably.
9:04 OH YOU ARE LUCKY AND AMAZING TO GET TO DO THAT!!
9:06 Also I agree with you on that.
Love this episode and thanks
Been waiting for this. Let’s gooo…
This was cool to learn. Didn't know he existed in myth.
I would love a mythology video game series. Where you explain the origins and myths in games. Even if you had to reexplain some characters you did in other videos. Could be a fun way to explain gods etc in context as they come up in games. A game that comes to mind is rise of the argonauts and god of war as you mentioned to do. I would definitely watch something like that
Im down for some more Kratos videos. Taking a deep dive in every game would be lit! 💯🔥
My dad played the original games back in the day going into the early days of the PlayStation 3 my oldest brother had the PSP spin offs glad this series is still going strong today the only one I've played all the way through was chains of Olympus ❤❤
One of the last greatest playstation mascots from the ps2 days going into the playstation 3 day's ❤❤ glad he got a reboot that's right up there with the original version
A episode for each game would be fire
I knew about the lore prior to the games, & have always loved anything to do with Greek myth. One of my pets that I rescued, his name is Kratos. I found him in a trash can on a construction site I was working on in the middle of summer here in Las Vegas. He was about a week old at the time. So for him to have survived that I figured the name was fitting. And it's not a scar but he was born with one of his eyes blind/dead. Strong doesn't even begin to describe my little buddy. He's 12 now & still runs around like he's 1. Anyway would love to see you do a full GOW series of videos
Was wondering when you would do this big fan thanks for feeding my mythology hunger can’t wait for more Egyptian mythology also
Thanks Jon 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
It's more like they started Kratos design based on D&D Barbarian class.
Barbarian class really matches Kratos, specially when in berserker mode.
They could implement a "Animal Form" to make a Barbarian that can take on an army
Amazing video sir! I'm a huge fan of the games and Greek myth but I don't recall hearing of cratos the actual god
God of War is one of the first PlayStation franchises I became a fan of when I got the PS2. And to this day I still play all the 6 Greek era GoW games. I love them and Kratos is a terrific character. One of my favorite PlayStation characters of all time.
While I have GoW 2018 in its sealed box, I never got to play it because I never got a PS4 (I hate being broke) I hope someday I can play the Norse era games. But I'm not complaining because the Greek era games are too epic tbh.
Please, I hope you get to do the origin videos on each game🙏🙏🙏
This one's already🔥🔥🔥🔥
All this was new to me.I'm pleasantly surprised, so I'd really like to hear a lot more of the niche stuff in mythology sense I know so much
This video is awesome!
I would love to see the origins of the God of War games.
I would love a series on the God of War games. Honestly, I'm surprised you haven't done it yet. I'm down if you are
Awesome!
I’m so glad you did this because I did not know it was a another cratos XD KRATOS!!!!!!- “Zeus your son has come”.
Mr. Solo plz break down the myths throughout the games as well. Please and thank you.
Yes do all the games
God of war was one of my favorite games. Great video 😍
jon dont say if we want..,you know we want that sir get to it! thxs❤
Yes. Do it. Do it please
I knew he was a god but never found any background on him before. Thanks!
Sp im new to the god of war video game series so when i saw kratos killed greek gods who were said to be immortal and hard to kill and went from greek to norse nythology with ragnarok being around odin and ragnarok so im so happy you made this video. But im still kinda mad they didnt give jormangander more screen time
Let's go!
Definitely want to hear about the origins of the God of War games 🙌🏽
Make that video that takes hours! Or a compilation I listen to that kind of stuff at work
I knew there was a reason i liked you from the start. That Jim carrey story just proves it was meant to be
Yes I would like to here about all the games individually 😊
Never knew Kratos was a real God before this. Anymore obscure Gods I should know about. Greek Myths is my favorite but I also enjoy learning about the others around the world. I'll let you know if I stumble across any when I look at random things.
Kratos is pretty much just Heracles just more anger than despair
I actually used the GoW games as a reference for teaching my daughter about our Greek roots (though my Baba is just a phone call away), like, “No; the Colossus of Rhodoss did not come to life and get destroyed by an angry little Spartan. It collapsed when Santorini’s volcano, Thera, exploded.”
Ur would be really cool if you could do a video on each god of war game !
A messed up origin of all gow games woulf be crazy and now i wan't to see such an series😅
that's cool you got to be with Jim carry as a kid must been a cool experience.
@JonSolo if you do God of war games don't forget one was on SPS hand system.
Jon solo I love your content and you are so funny Thankyou for the videos I tried to follow you on Facebook but couldn’t find you
Jenn
You should do a video on the origins of The Goose Girl. It's an interesting fairy take that most people don't know. Shannon Hale wrote a very beautiful retelling
I had an idea about the difference between Cratos the Greek god of strength & Kratos the ghost of Sparta! Thanks for making the video for people that didn't know
Can you do the mess up story of sun wukong journey to the west
Definitely cover the origins of god of war please
I’m gonna need a story time about Jim Carrey
Fun fact Kratos and his brother Demos are also the root word for democracy, originally spelled demokratia it means power of the people. Languages like Finnish still spell it with a k aswell.
I never played the Norse God of War games. It just doesnt have the same appeal as the Greek era.
Your missing out they are absolutely amazing.
The gods do shady stuff to women
The goddesses "I'm going to punish home girl" 😭🤦🏾♀️
Awesome as always thanks ❤
You definitely should cover the god of war games
You should do a origins of the games. Point out all the Greek references
“Don’t cry because it’s over. Smile because it happened.” - Jon 💯🔥
I know that the mythical Cratos’s isn’t exactly like the video game Kratos we know in terms of story & characterization, but who knew that both are practically identical when it comes to their individual personalities.
Didn’t know there were so many God Of War Games
Hey jon im just wondering if im able to go on the greece trip if im 19
I did know about Cratos but not a whole lot and yes please on the games and also more celtic mythology
😊 yes please do a full series of the God of war
I do wanna see a origins of thr god of war games so i hope you make those sometime soon😊
Small flex, met one of the biggest men in comedic entertainment😂😂😂😂
Super cool!! I knew none of this
See u in History has a video on this topic
I would love to see a God of War series. I'd like to see other games covered like Enslaved: Odyssey to the West and more.
Can you do a remastered video the Greek,Norse and Egyptian creation videos with the same animation as this, please?
I. Always wanted to know if these Greek gods were real or a myth. I been watching you for years now 😊 can you talk about the goddess orgin for sailor moon
I'd have my bag packed asap.
I do remember hearing that in the mythos, Zeus was given a prophecy that if he were to have a son with one of his sisters (gawds, amIright?), that son would eventually overthrow him like he did to Kronos. I need to find my own copy of Hesiod’s Theogeny
Yes please...we need the origins to gow
Did you ever do the Valhalla mode? I wonder if you make a video of it if there’s any similar connections
There isn't
I would like to see you cover the Greek god of war games 😅😁
Yeah brother I wanna see the origins of every god of war game
I love the original trilogy. Id love a messed up origin of the games
Imagine if Katos (game) had a sister
I think technically Athena is his half sister, since she was also a child of Zeus.
He's son of Zeus, nearly everyone is his brothers and sisters.
Yes I've played the old game and love The God of War cause I never knew what happen to him and his family so that be cool but take your time Jon 👌😇
Likely Actors:
Batista
Dwayne Johnson
Bill Goldberg
Triple H
Eric Rowin
Bait and switch!
Kratos is still one of my favorite game characters but it's good to hear the mythology as well
He is still God of strength in GOW games.
